I follow Toys for Bob, so I'll be very interested in a new Spyro game by them. In a related thought, I wonder why Sony and Microsoft haven't tried their own versions of amiibos?
ooo, neat! I wonder which one?
Hello Kitty Island Adventure looks fun.
Even though another Lego Batman game is coming, of Lego games, I most want to play that Lego Horizon Adventures.
It's amazing to me Destiny 2 is still going strong. Bungie really knows what it's doing.
I've been meaning to return to Cult of the Lamb (I played it on Game Pass). It's had some great sale prices lately that have been very tempting.
I'll take a Bandana Waddle Dee, Sonic's Rogue figure, the Snoopy game and the Nicktoons game. I saw a youtube short suggesting the return of Skylanders. It was probably just click bait but one can hope.
I think the Game & Watch was so huge in Japan that it put it in first place worldwide. I never saw one either. I didn't even know anything about it until I started collecting in the late 90s. It's the same with the Famicon topping the sales charts in '84. The U.S. didn't get it for another year but it was tearing it up in Japan. It's interesting that sales numbers just in Japan can outdo the rest of the world. The percentage of people that owned a those must've been pretty high.
Apple II+ is sweet vintage tech. I never had a 5200 or 7800 but I remember seeing them being sold at the time. I was spending my money on stereo and photography gear. It's kind of weird to me how short a time I spent with home video game consoles back then, only 3 to 4 years. Arcades lasted longer for me, taking up the whole decade.
It's interesting that wiki doesn't make a huge distinction between gaming consoles and PCs, at least for the 80s. Both are just "home systems". Even handhelds are included in that. I kind of like that idea - just bundle them all into one list.
I keep thinking that limiting myself to one year will result in a manageable number of games, but it's always overwhelming.
I loved the remake of Dead Space. I have to go back to 2 now.
To go through the history of console gaming in chronological order trying to stick to using only original hardware and games. Also to give myself as much or as little time as I need on each console.
Xbox was my system for all the multiconsole games. I eventually got the PS2 and NGC for their exclusvies.
My friend MK was a big shooter fan, and so I got an Xbox to play with him. I think if I'd just been playing on my own, I would've wanted more RPGs and got a PS2 or NGC. As it turned out, I ended up getting them all anyway.
