I am not a big fan of these printable rewards. Even if I was able to find the right paper to make it look like real artwork, I could never cut it straight enough.
I have never understood the acclaim that Gameboy Tetris continues to get. It by far has the worst controls of any Tetris I have played, not counting touch controls. NES Tetris is my preferred way to play pure Tetris, and Tetris 99 is the best special version of Tetris. Tetris DS is another standout.
Best Direct in a long time for me. The only thing that would have made it better was a release date for the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters. I was really hoping they would be coming out today.
What I like about the 1st Final Fantasy is being able to try different parties to really change up how you play the game. You can start with 4 fighters or 4 black mages and have a totally different experience. Or if you are feeling crazy, you can let 3 members of your party die, and play with a single character. I have a friend who beat the game as a single thief which is probably the toughest way to beat the game. It was a rom on a computer, but I am still impressed.
This is a great update for me. Columns and Golden Axe II are 2 of my ultimate favorite Genesis games. I haven't ever played Alien Storm, but it looks cool.
@Tandy255 I created a second character on my island, and I am also working on the golden shovel. I get excited everytime Gulliver shows up, because I am close, but still not their yet.
I am enjoying Tetris Grand Master. It has been a long time since I played a version of Tetris where you couldn't hold a piece for later. Going to take a while to get used to it, much harder this way.
@R_is_KC Yeah, I don't know how I got so lucky to go to those two games.
I just found out that John Sherman is officially moving the Royals downtown. I am really angry right now. So many great memories and moments will soon be turned into a parking lot.
Man, I hate the Forest Temple. That and Jabu's Belly are always tough for me. For whatever reason, I get all turned around and it takes me forever to get back on track in both.
I would have liked a few things from New Leaf to have been included in New Horizons, like the Zelda villagers and the bigger store, but they aren't deal breakers, and I can always go back to New Leaf if I want to.
New Horizons really helped me get thru the lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic. I am very grateful it came out when it did.
@Bearzilla823 I actually wish E.T. was on collections like this. I am old enough to remember playing and enjoying it as a kid. I had no idea it was so hated back then.

Re: Scalpers Set Their Sights On Metroid Prime Remastered Physical Release
I received my copy from Walmart, but it was damaged so I returned it. They didn't have any more, so I am just going to wait for a restock.

Looks cool, sounds cooler!
Re: Sports Story Is Getting Another Update, Here's What's Included (Version 1.0.5)
I don't understand the updates to the Secret Dev Room. How can it be 80% removed and restored at the same time?
Re: Super Nintendo World: Is It Worth It? Survival Tips, Budget Advice, How To 'Play' The Park
I bet I would enjoy myself here, but I don't know if I would have enough fun to make the price worth it for me.
Kinda surprised the park is on the smaller side. I wonder if it will ever be expanded?

Looking forward to playing this after I finish Fire Emblem Engage.

Never heard of this game before reading this article. Ordered it from eBay, can't wait to play it!
Re: Poll: Which Character Would You Like To See Return Next In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe?
R.O.B. is in Mario Kart DS, so it wouldn't be the first time for him.

Re: Nintendo Download: 9th February (North America)
I bought Power Pros for 2 reasons:
1. It is only 99 cents.
2. I want more Power Pros games to come to the US in the future!
Re: Poll: Would You Pay $70 For The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom?
Obviously $60 would be a better price, but I am not going to miss out on this because of $10.

Re: Feature: Best Japan-Exclusive 3DS Games - 13 Titles We Wish Had Come To The West
@KingMike Thanks. Between that and the game going for $300 on eBay, it looks like I will have to settle with 2D Columns.
Re: Feature: Best Japan-Exclusive 3DS Games - 13 Titles We Wish Had Come To The West
@JohnnyMind Bummer, thanks for letting me know.
Re: Feature: Best Japan-Exclusive 3DS Games - 13 Titles We Wish Had Come To The West
I would love to play 3D Columns.
Are 3DS games region locked?
Re: 'Pocket Card Jockey' Could Come To Switch If Mobile Version Does Well
Would have been nice to have this on Android. Not sure why they would limit their sales by ignoring Android users.
Re: Review: Blossom Tales II: The Minotaur Prince - A Cute Zelda-Like Adventure That Lacks Fresh Ideas
@Joe-b
I agree, this is a much better game than the 1st one, and I really liked the first one.
Minotaur Prince adds fishing and cooking, plus a lot more weapons and items.
I would definitely give this a 9 out of 10. I am addicted!
Re: Konami Supposedly Has Multiple Unannounced Projects In The Works
Symphony of the Night and all 3 Rebirth games on Switch would be awesome!

Re: Final Fantasy Pixel Remaster Collection Launches On Switch Spring 2023
I only bought this now because I figured the 2nd hand copies are going to be even more overpriced.

Re: Atari Announces Ultra Rare Arcade Shooter 'Akka Arrh' Is Coming To Switch
@CharlieGirl The voiceover voice in the trailer makes it seem like a possibility.
Looks fun, I might have to pick it up.
Atari is on a roll lately. Hope E.T. Recharged is coming soon!

Re: Pokémon Squishmallows Are Coming To The Pokémon Center "Very Soon"
Squishmallows are awesome, I might have to get a Pikachu.
Re: Feature: From 'Retro Bowl' To 'Retro Goal' - How New Star Games Returned To Its Grass Roots
@R_is_KC Yeah, I don't know how I got so lucky to go to those two games.
I just found out that John Sherman is officially moving the Royals downtown. I am really angry right now. So many great memories and moments will soon be turned into a parking lot.

Re: Feature: From 'Retro Bowl' To 'Retro Goal' - How New Star Games Returned To Its Grass Roots
@R_is_KC I was lucky enough to go to Game 6 of the World Series in 2014 and Game 1 of the 2015 World Series.
2 of the best days of my life!
Re: Feature: From 'Retro Bowl' To 'Retro Goal' - How New Star Games Returned To Its Grass Roots
@R_is_KC Are you a fellow KC Royals fan?
Re: Feature: From 'Retro Bowl' To 'Retro Goal' - How New Star Games Returned To Its Grass Roots
I am trying to think of a name for the potential baseball game that rhymes with "bowl" and "goal".
So far, I am unsuccessful.
Re: Mini Review: Retro Bowl - An Addictive 8-Bit Throwback That's Appropriately Super
@twztid13 The 1985 Bears were not undefeated. They went 15-1, their one loss to the Dolphins.
Re: Poll: So, Animal Crossing: New Leaf Or New Horizons - Which Do You Like Best?
New Horizons, but not by much.
I would have liked a few things from New Leaf to have been included in New Horizons, like the Zelda villagers and the bigger store, but they aren't deal breakers, and I can always go back to New Leaf if I want to.
New Horizons really helped me get thru the lockdown at the beginning of the pandemic. I am very grateful it came out when it did.

@SpaceboyScreams There are 3 special holes in Wii Sports Resort, so it is possible the extra 3 holes here are the same as those.
