A plumbing simulator would be Pipe Dream.  But I actually like that game.

I never got into NBA Jam myself.  It wasn't a priority for me to play at the arcade, especially since most of the time it was crowded by other players.  It was certainly a popular game, though.  It gets referenced and made fun of even recently, like one episode of Regular Show spoofs it.

I've reviewed most of these over the years.  When the Digimon cartoon first came out, my friends and I were into it for a while and we played the Smash clone and was very disappointed.  I didn't think the PlayStation All-Stars game was THAT bad.  Most of the other ones are OK to decent.  I hope I get to review Multiversus.

I know it's a bit pedestrian, but all the characters being in Smash games is pretty fun.  But my favorite was when they announced that Pac-Man would be in Smash.  When people ask me what characters I'd like to see in Smash, I have a hard time thinking of any more.  I've got my three main boys already (Pac-Man, Kirby, Mega Man) so I'm pretty happy.

Speaking of Pac-Man, I think that's the first game to have a video game cameo in it, as one of the bonus fruits is a Galaxian flagship.  Namco's always been good about putting cameos in their games.

And speaking of Namco, another favorite guest spot of mine is Namco X Capcom.  It was a PS2 strategy RPG game where characters from Namco's and Capcom's games teamed up.  It never came to the US, but the Project X Zone sequels on the 3DS did.  Unfortunately, once I played the import Namco X Capcom game, i could understand why it never came here.  Gameplay just wasn't that fun, especially once the novelty of all those characters being together wore off.  But for the time, it was still neat to have Taki and Dig Dug fighting alongside Cammy and Tron Bonne.  Also the intro to Namco X Capcom is one of my favorite video game intros ever.

I've never seen it either, but I'm not a big fan of tennis video games.  Just seems like glorified Pong to me.  Only tennis game I ever really got into was SEGA Superstars Tennis because, well, you know.

I believe Square Enix publishes that Power Wash game.  But I don't think it's on any consoles I own so I didn't request a review copy.  Also I work at a major hardware store chain and we sell power washers, so playing a game about that doesn't sound very appealing.  That looks like a neat playground in the picture, though.

Congrats on ten years!  I just reached a couple of milestones on my podcast as well.  One full year and ten episodes!

On your next podcast's Stage Select, when you say favorite 'guest spots' you mean video game character cameos in other games, right?

I read somewhere that David Crane, creator of Pitfall, is an avid tennis fan so he made Activision Tennis.  He also made a SNES game called David Crane's Amazing Tennis.  I got to meet David Crane in person TWICE!

You'll just miss out on some good games if you don't!  You paid for that Switch!  Might as well use it! :)

Yeah I think the Switch calls it "HD Rumble."  But the only games I've noticed really do it are 1, 2, Switch and Breath of the Wild.
