Yeah I plan to have a PlayDate Update blog sometime in October and one again in November.

I don't know much about Kindle, but I do know the PlayDate screen is a lot better than the Game Boy's.  Technology has gotten so much better.  Honestly I was never impressed with the Game Boy until Link's Awakening came around.

That's cool they made a Chronicles of Narnia game.  I loved the books as a kid.  Too bad they didn't make all the movies.

Right now I'm trying to wrap up Live A Live.  I'm also playing Pac-Man World Re-Pac and dabbling in Kirby's Dream Buffet.  Also reviewing a lot of games, but the only really good one I've played in a while is Tinykin.  Get that one if you like quirky GameCube 3D platformers like PIkmin and Chibi Robo.

You know just the other day I was talking with family about those old black and white portable TVs that had a crank on the side that you used to power it up!  Of course, since the PlayDate has a non-backlit black and white screen, it has a very good battery life!

My copy of the Cowabunga Collection just shipped from Amazon, so hopefully I will get it soon.  And of course you know I'll write a blog about it.  

Back then, I didn't get into the TMNT toys or cartoon that much, since I was a little too old for that (or at least I thought I was), but there were a few of the TMNT games I sure did like.  My podcast's title even comes from my history with the TMNT games!

There is a real pinball game called Space Ship.

And there are two different King Dedede figures, you know.

Even though Mega Man 3 is my favorite of the NES titles, I could TOTALLY understand if someone liked MM2 better.

If Capcom made Mega Man Legends 3 for the PS5 or X/S, I would totally buy one of those.

Not only is FF6 my favorite RPG of all time, it's also one of my top five favorite games of all time.  Right alongside Pac-Man, Animal Crossing, Super Mario Kart, and the Namco Museums on PSOne.  That's actually the topic of my first podcast, too, if you want to listen to that.

So naturally, Terra is my favorite FF character.  I consider her to be the main character of FF6, espeicaly since her theme is the overworld theme and everywhere else.  And of course, Kefka is my favorite FF villian (take that Sephiroth!).  He's just so insane and everytime you hear his theme song, you know something bad is going to happen.  He's also one of the few video game villians who actually wins.

I also think FF6 has the perfect soundtrack.  I still have my "Kefka's Domain" CD soundtrack that Square actually released in the US a long time ago.  And like SanAndreas, I got to see the opera scene performed live in concert one time.  That was a dream come true.  Well I could talk about FF6 all day, but I'll end it here.
