I don't really watch the Olympics but there are a lot of really cool athletes in it.

Yeah the Goemon game series is really big in Japan.  I played the SNES game, but I hated missing out on Mystical Ninja 64 and Goemon's Great Adventure (both on N64).  There is even a Goemon anime, and it was brought over to US DVDs years back.  I have them, actually.  It's a funny little cartoon.

I usually play as Ulala or Tails in the Sonic racing game.

7 wasted slots?  I love the Koopa Kids so I'm glad to see them in the new Mario Kart!

Yeah there's nothing like playing an arcade game in a dedicated cabinet.  It just has a feel to it, and that's why I miss old arcades.

I'm not really surprised that Little Mac will be in it.  I'm not a big Punch Out fan, so I'm not doing cartwheels about it or anything.

I think you mean that in his Smash Move, he turns into Giga Mac.  If he turned into Big Mac, he'd just be a hamburger and what good would that do him?  (sorry, I just had to give you a hard time)

I was more excited during the trailer to see that he was fighting King Dedede.  It would be awesome if another boxing ring stage were Dedede's boss fight stage from the Kirby games, too.

I can't wait to see Kirby's copy ability when he inhales Little Mac, though!  He'll clobber Little Mac no matter what!  Kirby's the best!

They can keep making FF games if they are like Bravely Default.

I apologize for posting a comment that's totally unrelated to your blog, but I thought you might like to see my review of the LEGO Movie video game.

I never played the SNES game, but I remember Ninja Warriors in the arcade.  I didn't play it much, because it was pretty hard.  But it was one of Taito's extra wide arcade cabinets because the action took place on three screens put right next to each other.  Another Taito game series did this, too, in the arcade.  And that was the 2-D shooter Darius.

The cool thing about Ninja Warriors (and Darius and other Taito games) is the music was done by Taito's in-house band: Zuntata.  They are awesome!  When you get a chance, go to YouTube and search for the Ninja Warriors arcade song "Daddy Mulk."  It's one of Zuntata's most famous works.  Zuntata and Taito are awesome!

And yes, one of the playable characters is a female ninja android.

Sounds kind of like Half Minute Hero.  Have you ever played that one?
