SEGA really needs to work with Microsoft to get Jet Set Radio Future backwards compatible so I can play it.

I wish they would bring Wario back! I'm definitely liking 3 a lot more than 2, even though it does a lot of similar things that 2 did. Feels like they figured it out/refined it a bit more in 3. Though the bosses are still goddamn terrible and I'm so thankful for save states so I don't have to waste a bunch of time on them.

I've been meaning to play Radiant Historia for literally almost a decade lol. I remember listening to praise for it when it first released for DS and know I should have played it years ago. Better late then never!

Ghost Giant was very cute. The gameplay wasn’t groundbreaking or anything, but it was a nice little VR experience.

Did you like Kirby Rainbow Curse? I remember being disappointed that you are forced to look at the low resolution GamePad screen for Kirby’s first HD adventure.

Tales of Symphonia is one of those games that I hear about so often, that I should probably play at some point. What do you think about it?

Thank you for the kind words!

Click Clock Woods can be a bit annoying, but they handled it pretty well. Man, I just love that game. I’m so glad to see Banjo and Kazooie in Smash.

Do you have plans to play Banjo-Tooie? It is a very different game - almost like a 3D Metroidvania. I personally don’t think it is as good as the original, but it is close. Quite a technical feat, too.

Was this just recently your first time finishing Banjo-Kazooie? You rated it five stars, so I am assuming you must have enjoyed it!

Hmmm, that’s a good question. I feel like I do a good job at returning to titles I have previously finished. Of course, I never list them on my “Now Playing” section, but some days I’ll just put old a system and start playing random stuff. Like within the past year I replayed Paper Mario 2, Elite Beat Agents, ExciteBots, Banjo-Kazooie... titles that seem completely random but I immensely enjoyed. And then there are others where I picked up in the middle of a save file and just play for a bit.

A game that comes to mind that I had not played in some time but had very nostalgic memories for was the original Rollercoaster Tycoon. Many days in the late ‘90s were spent building gigantic theme parks. But I stopped playing because something about the game’s installer wouldn’t properly load on my proceeding PCs (or something to that effect).

Eventually the game was re-released on Steam. Boy, what a rush it was to hear the canned sound effects and pressing those stylized buttons. It evoked so many childhood memories! I ended up playing all of the original game’s scenarios and having just as much fun as I did when the game first appeared in my life.

So yeah, I guess that’s my long winded answer to your question!

Drawn to Life. I remember that having a lot of potential back in the day, but it doesn't quite live up to it. Honestly, I do not recall much of the game other than getting it around launch and making a lot of weird characters.

That’s good to hear! Unfortunately my PC has been giving me issues lately and so I have not been inclined to play anything in my Steam library.

I’ll get around to it. Eventually.

Is Braid still worth playing in 2019? I’ve had it in my backlog forever.

Luigi’s Mansion on 3DS is a decent way to play the game. I prefer the GameCube version (double sticks, more stable framerate, better lighting). But if you have never gone through the title before, then I recommend it.

I am surprised to see you playing the Game Boy version of Metroid 2. Is this some sort of punishment...?

Alien Hominid seems like a tough game. Did it give you any trouble?

See you have gotten around to Bayonetta. It is fantastic!

Yeah, Psychonauts still holds up. Tim Schafer's writing is always great.

Nice, Wonderful 101. I’m glad you are giving the game a chance!

Yeah... DKC2 on GBA isn’t exactly up to par compared to the SNES version, to say the least.

I might have time this weekend to play through it. Let's hope that is the case!

I found the game to be incredibly original from Intelligent Systems, and on New 3DS it plays very well. The dynamic orchestrated soundtrack, the concept of Abraham Lincoln fighting alien invaders, online multiplayer... it all tied together into a fantastic package. Admittedly, the visuals could have used some more polish, but it is still a great game.
