I see it's got the Scoops Ahoy kids, Robin and Steve, in it.

I'm not really aware of a lot of video game conspiracy theories, honestly. What's an example?

Cage match: Gonna go with Halo 2,  I guess, only because I played Halo 3 on 360 and it was okay. I never actually played Halo 2 and in fact never had an Xbox. Sorry.

I know that PD did require the N64 expansion pack to play the campaign.

I'm not into mobile games. I tried Super Mario Run and ended up going back to Mario on consoles pretty quickly. But if it makes Nintendo money that can be used to make Switch games, I guess it's okay.

I played Tetris 99 a few times. I did pretty good but didn't get the hang of some of the mechanics of it. I still play it now and then. 11th place out of 99 is excellent.

Speaking of penguins, I guess a Switch version of Ge-Sen Love: Plus Pengo is being released this month in Japan. That's that Pengo game made in 2010 that supports 8 players. Sadly it's Japan-exclusive, but given that Switch is region-free I'm thinking of buying an import copy so I can have it with all the other classic arcade games I have on Switch. Too bad Sega doesn't release the original game a lot more as an Arcade Archives or Sega Ages game.

Square Enix usually does good with the loading times on its remasters. Come to think of it, they were usually able to manage load times better than most other people on the PS1's double-speed CD-ROM drive.

I liked Mario 64 better, but this game was pretty for its time. It was like most Rare games save for Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, or Blast Corps - a graphically prettied up version of something Nintendo (or in the case of KI, Midway) had already done, without all the bloat and padding that Rare used to put in their games.

Looks sort of ambitious for the NES. Not saying it isn't a mess, but it is. I think it had a sex scene in it somewhere. Kind of reminds me of how the GB re-release of Dragon Warrior allowed you to take the Princess (or a random horny girl on the streets) to the Inn and apparently have a night of wild sex with her before you returned her to the king. 

Apparently Nintendo of America's staff in charge of censor- err, making sure games were family-friendly didn't make it far enough through Bionic Commando to see that the ultimate bad guy was Hitler - the actual Hitler, or to see his monologue contain a four-letter word, or to see the picture of his head exploding. I'd love to have been the guys at Capcom who got that past the radar.

FF8 is a flawed game. That said, it occupies a special place in my heart among FF games in part because of the circumstances in my life when I got it - I was in the FF8 line on launch day; almost all of the customers at Electronics Boutique that day there were there for either FF8 or a Dreamcast - and for other reasons. Perhaps within the remastered version's launch window, which a few sources seem to suggest might be sooner rather than later, I will put out a blog detailing my experience with FF8.

I have the first DQB game on PS4. SolSeraph looked interesting but got pilloried in the reviews.

Yeah, I hear it's been hot out there, and with the humidity, that makes it like the heat in Texas or Oklahoma.

User Review: Nintendo's portable systems, a review. Pt. 4 - The Nintendo 3DS

My 3DS was a Zelda 3DSXL that was released for A Link Between Worlds. The 3DS was more of what I want in a handheld, but I've since moved on to the Switch. We got two more Dragon Quest ports and a little cult gem, 7th Dragon III Code VFD.
