Captain N's Games of the Decade: Expansion Pass 2 Game #9


Posted on 02/20/2022 at 08:22 AM | Filed Under Blogs

When it comes to racing games, I really just prefer the silly stuff like Mario Kart.  Probably the most 'realistic' racing game I enjoy is Ridge Racer.

Never heard of this one.

BaD #14: Bust-a-Move Again


Posted on 02/19/2022 at 08:23 AM | Filed Under Blogs

Bust-A-Move/Puzzle Bobble is one of my top three favorite puzzle games of all time, right up there with Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo and plain ol' Tetris.  I think they must've made Bust-A-Move Again to appeal to US audiences, since they removed any traces of Bubble Bobble characters in this one.  Snood did get a release on a handheld console, I believe.  Not sure if it was the GBA or DS.  There's also a bunch of Puzzle Bobble rip-offs on mobile devices.  Puzzle Bobble just had a new game in the series and it went 3-D and you can even use VR with it!  I reviewed it here;

OST So Good! #14: Shovel Knight


Posted on 02/19/2022 at 08:19 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I liked the soundtrack to Shovel Knight so much that I bought it on CD at PAX one year. And I only buy game CD soundtracks if I REALLY like the music.  Makes sense that a Mega Man game music composer helped work on this, since the soundtrack definitely has a Mega Man quality to it.

BaD #13: Bonze Adventure


Posted on 02/18/2022 at 08:28 AM | Filed Under Blogs

This game kind of reminded me a bit of Adventure Island mixed with Ghosts N Goblins, with a Japanese 'Yokai" theme.  But if I remember correctly, it was one of those 'one hit and you die' kind of games, and I'm not a big fan of those.

OST So Good! #13: Donkey Kong Country- Tropical Freeze

The newer DKC games do have great music, but they are less memorable to me because those games were just too darn hard!  And I'm not bad at DKC games, I don't think.  I beat the first three on SNES anyway.  So I don't know what it is.  I do remember one of the newer games had a boss that was also a mine cart level and I was like, "Yeah no thank you."  But it still amazes me how they were able to pull off the CD quality music on the SNES, especially with tunes like the underwater theme from the first game.  Wow!

I got my PS4 at a Black Friday sale, too.  I believe it was in 2016.  I still play it.  Don't feel the need to upgrade to PS5 yet.

BaD #12: Balloon Bomber


Posted on 02/18/2022 at 08:20 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I kind of liked Balloon Bomber.  It had a bit of strategy as you would try to shoot the bombs swinging around and not the balloons.  I also liked the derpy music they played in the background.  "Da-doop-a-doop, da-doop-a-doop."  On the PSP Taito collection Taito Memories, they updated a few of the games with better graphics and gameplay tweaks, and Balloon Bomber was one of the games they did that with, but they still kept the derpy music!

BaD: Shortest Games #10

Sounds like one of those hidden object games.  Those are a dime a dozen on mobile devices.  You'd think I'd like those games more, since I loved the Hidden Pictures page in Highlights magazine when I was a kid.  But I don't have patience for those types of games anymore.

OST So Good! #12: Phoenix Wright- Dual Destinies


Posted on 02/18/2022 at 08:14 AM | Filed Under Blogs

I love the Phoenix Wright series, too!  I'm currently plugging away at the second set of cases in The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles.  And when I checked My Nintendo 3DS Memories, Dual Destinies was my third most played game (right under StreetPass and Animal Crossing).  I'm surprised Capcom was able to craft such good stories with these, since normally they can't write their way out of a paper bag!

To me, the first three games had the most memorable music, thanks to the chiptune sounding quality of most of them.  But all the games have good tunes.  I swear the same composer of the Phoenix Wright games must've been the same composer of the Mega Man Battle Network games because a lot of the songs sounds familiar.  I remember one time Jeff heard me playing Apollo Justice and he said, "Huh, did Apollo just go into a NetNavi battle?"
