My friends and I actually did play Clock Tower on Halloween, and I briefly explained Shattered Memories when a friend actually said the words "shattered memories" in a talk, not referencing Silent Hill at all.

A wizard is never late to a match. Nor is he early! He arrives precisely when he means to!

One of my fondest memories of playing the original PC Vice City, waaaayyyyy back, was including "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" as one of the custom tunes. Yeah, sophisticated humor--me bobbing my head merrily to Dick Van Dyke while driving around to do... well, GTA things!

I've waited a long while to revisit these three games, so we'll see.

I uttered out loud, “Good Lord, that’s a lot of money!” Because I’m a late 80s/early 90s kid who makes timely references!

Well, I run my family group, and we’re all going to discuss this in the next few days, if not tonight. None of us are happy with the spike, and we all wish that Animal Crossing DLC wasn’t included (despite all of us being fans), but we still care about other some details. To be continued…

@OFFICIALMichi I'd love to see an actual fight between Really Really Big Man and Powdered Toast Man!

As a "retired" high school drama student/community theater guy, this reminds me why I love stage musicals so much. Yes, I would be very interested in some Toad and Yoshi emotional and romantic development! The world needs more of that.

Ever since I first played this game, the "inside the caves" music has been my morning alarm tone, generally. I didn't see this coming, but I'll definitely pick up this on Switch!

I was so glad to be introduced to this on the Wii. Love this cover!

I'm really, really curious about the pricing. As excited as I am about some of these announced titles, I'm gonna wait for that "new information to come!" to stroll by!

@Ralizah I agree! I glanced at the reveal and was like, "Oh, cool, both games bundled together in one Switch package!" Realizing it was just the second game kinda took the wind out of my sails. And I doubly agree on how this should've been a proper next entry.

Now I want an alternate cover where it's Dr. Eggman conducting the orchestra. Or, perhaps, playing an instrument.

@Themagusx1 I’d so be down for a Double Dare stage!

The total lack of voices/grunts/vocalizations of any kind really is unfortunate, IMO. I know I mentioned that before, but, gosh, I'm sayin' it again! Still, I'm curious and am hoping this'll turn out to be a really solid game. Is it obviously lower-budgeted? Yeah. Is it looking rough and imperfect now? Sure. But my inner 80s/90s child is rooting for this.

Prepare to feel cold defeat by my Princess Peach crown, Dentist! Huzzah!!

I think this is very cute, honestly!

No matter what version I listen to or try to think about, I tend to think about Super Mario Bros. 3's World Map 3 when mentally listening to Fairy Fountain, often as a mashup. And that's just fine with me! I love 'em all.

@Noid Haha, I know it’s a very minor reason to be displeased. But, really, having some vocalizations go a long way for me, even if they’re just grunts.

Ah, but we’ll see! 😄

@Ragdoll72 Richard Horvitz, the voice actor of Zim, said he and other VAs were not called in to record any lines for this game. If this game has no voice acting whatsoever, then my curiosity has plummeted severely.

Psychonauts 2! Gradually over the past month, I also replayed the first game, and Psychonauts in the Rhombus of Ruin to prepare.

I am also eating Psychonauts Cereal, which doesn’t exist, but if it did, I’d totally try it, because I’m a total sucker for Psychonauts!

I’ll definitely check this game out eventually, as I’m a veteran of the series, but as of right now, I’m brain-deep in Psychonauts 2.

@Funneefox Ties on bib, nestles in chair comfortably, and readies his silverware.

I adored her when I was a kid! Let me have this!

Heh! When I was in 7th grade, I used to wake up super early, so I could watch an episode of the anime before going to school! But those two games were really fun! I was obsessed with them!

It’d be worth it if Van Pelt materialized in real life.

I’m trying to think of another movie reference that briefly uses a thumb, compared to that T2 thumbs-up. And then it hit me. It’s gotta be Jafar, specifically from The Return of Jafar. After all, “his thumb is number one on every list!”

@reporterdavid “Where’s my pizza?”

This movie could be directed by Tommy Wiseau, and I’ll still watch it at least once. I just said that as an exaggeration, but now… 🤔 Hmm! That would be something! 😄

This Mario Bros. movie could end up being utter trash (I’m not hoping/deciding it’ll be), but maybe there’ll be something worth rummaging through, hidden within that trash pile! We’ll see.

Rhythm Thief! Come on, let’s do some dancin’! Despite the fact that these Super Monkey Balls roll.

A “handshake deal” is a heartbreak seal! … I tried to come up with a catchy rhyme for this kind of situation. I sure hope this doesn’t affect the quality of the upcoming spin-off.

I much prefer the Disney games by Capcom, personally!

I just beat this with two friends. We felt like champions! Heh.

@ryu_san Haha! Though I’d bet half my chip stack that Princess Peach is gonna be radically different in this upcoming movie, compared to how we know her generally. Especially if this movie’s source material is what I think it is.

Based on what I've been seeing/watching of this game, and what I've been hearing, I think I'd pick the soundtrack and call it a day.

That is a remarkably blue enemy, only to meet defeat by the hands of a remarkably blue hedgehog!

Alas, I've been spoiled about a lot, thanks to a trollish fellow! I'll still get around to this game, anyway, but I think I'll just settle for digital.

It'd be funny if "More Awesome Nintendo Switch Games" was the actual title of an official Switch game. If it was a compilation of sorts. (Hopefully a better compilation than Action 52, eh?)

Generally, with games I really like, I'll do one playthrough with the English dub (if available), and then another with the original Japanese track (again, if available).

If I may say, it's wonderfully surreal for me to finally play these games, after so long!

After reading the review, he lifts up the trap door to take a look at the comments section, and quickly realizes what’s going on.

… Never mind!

Dives down, closing the door with him.

I’ll admit to once throwing my Wii remote deliberately into a giant, fluffy pillow out of frustration. But that’s it.

I was just watching clips of him as Genie. I'll always remember where I was and what I was doing when I got the word about Robin.

The nanosecond I saw Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis's inclusion, I rattled off all the quotes I've remembered for years.
"I don't think that'll work." "Doesn't seem to open!... Doesn't seem to close!" "It's an old ship rib!" "Go back, you big jack-o-lantern!"

Ahhh, one of my favorites! To be honest, I never bothered with Staff of Kings; I simply opted for Steam, where Fate of Atlantis is available by itself.

@pariah164 Nothing wrong with that! I understand how you feel. 😄

@pariah164 I can get behind Porky Pig’s Haunted Holiday, and one of the most delightful things about that game is how genuinely unnerving the music is. It feels disconnected from the game itself at times, which always perplexed me!

Whatever happens, happens. I’m good with my Switch, but I know what my options are if my Switch goes kaput. Yep.

I actually had a brief conversation with Fulp, about 20 years ago. He was really cool when answering my questions! Man, I remember being in computer class in freshman year (high school), and the lot of us would stealthily goof off by playing Newgrounds games. Finally, the website got blocked by the school. But we had a good run, by gum!

Congrats to them! Here's to a hopeful future!

@PlusFan Dr. K's animations from "Shattered Memories" really knocked my socks off, concerning he was in a Wii game. And I still occasionally listen to some of the music to this day!

@Davzilla You know, I was just thinking that earnestly, even before I reached the comments! 😃 Great minds think alike!

It's not too often I'm presented with a Tik Tok video that actually gets me to smile. But this suits me to a tee!

Yes, please! By all means. I’d love to see this series continue.

@BlueOcean I would be over the moon, truly. Gosh, I'd be so over the moon, I'd need a Lunar Mask to contain my joy!

I actually took a very long break--I missed out on the first summer, basically. So I've been catching up/filling up what I missed right now. I had hoped the purported big updates would happen concurrently with my return. Hm.

@BlueOcean Yeah, haha! I’m glad they came through on their word!
