PixlBit

I've heard of that arcade sim.  It was interesting, but not interesting enough to download.

Well at least Namco didn't make your list.

I'm not very good at saying negative things (well, I can be, but I certainly don't like it), so I'm going to say some positive things about each company on your list.

Sony

If you would only release Loco Roco 3, I'd buy a PS4 or Vita.  Come on, you can do it!

Microsoft

I'm not really into the Xbox One, but I sure did like the 360, so good job on that.

Nintendo

Thank you for making lots of games that I like.

SEGA

Sonic Boom wasn't really as bad as everyone says it is.  Granted, it's not that great either, but it could be a lot worse.  Why not give one of your other characters, like Ulala or Ristar a chance next time?

Activision

I'm glad to see a fun and imaginative kids game making more money for you than Call of Duty does.  Skylanders really captures the imagination of playing with toys in a video game more so than Amiibos and Disney Infinity do.  And you got your own Macy's parade balloon!  Sure, Skylanders is a bit gimmicky, but admit it, if you were a kid, Skylanders would be the coolest thing ever.

Destiny

Well, it may not be my cup of tea, but I'm glad to see others like it, such as my little brothers.

Square Enix

Thank you for still making fun and whimsical games like Bravely Defalt and Curtain Call.  I hope you can do more stuff like that in the future.

EA

Well you may not publish many games I like, but your PR team has always been supportive of me in my nearly 20 years of reviewing games.

Ubisoft

You made Child of LIght, which is going to win my Best RPG of the Year award in my GOTY blog, so congratulations on that.

Yeah I'm not good at this Festivus thing.  --Cary

I haven't played Afterburner Climax, but I did review Marvel vs. Capcom Origins, so I still have it.  Thanks for the heads up, though, and I hope we can hear from you soon.  I always enjoy reading your stuff.  Hope you get a chance to check out my blogs, too.

What eShop games did you get?  I hope one of them is Shantae and the Pirates' Curse.

I haven't played the others, but I did review Sonic Boom.  I don't think die-hard Sonic fans would like it, but I didin't think the game was THAT bad.  Granted, it's not that good either, but I still think it was somewhat playable.  Like a cross between a Sonic game and Jak & Daxter.  At least the Sonic Boom cartoon is better than the Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures show.  What they did with Knuckles still cracks me up, though.

I hate it that I missed out on the ClayFighter N64 game.  I liked the ones on the SNES.

Game Room was so cool but kind of a memory hog so I had to delete it.  Plus even though the games were cheap, the cost did add up after a while.  I wish they could've made disc versions of it.

I reviewed Rayman Legends a year or so ago.  It had some great music themed platform rhythm levels that they could've made a whole game out of.  And the play control was more responsive than most Mario games.  Someday I'll have to tell you a funny story about Rayman and me at E3.

Shovel Knight is a REALLY good game.  BUT, I loved DuckTales Remastered a lot.  If it weren't for Animal Crossing: New Leaf, DuckTales Remastered might've been my Game of the Year for 2013.  How much did you like the DuckTales TV show and NES game?  If the answer is 'a lot' then you need to download DuckTales Remastered.  Hopefully you can get Shovel Knight, too, as that is great also.

If that thing were a real product, Japan wouldn't even exist anymore!

One of the games on your list is going to be in my Game of the Year blog.
