Of all of Nintendo’s game series, the Paper Mario titles have probably had the most ups and downs.  On one hand, you have what many consider to be one of the best RPGs ever made!  And on the other end, you have what others, including myself, believe to be one of Nintendo’s worst games!  Ouch!  The newest game in the series, Paper Mario: The Origami King, came out earlier this year, so I thought it might be fun to rank them.

Happy Halloween!  I’ve got some treats for you all, and no tricks!  More spooky game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com!  Well, not very many of them are scary, I write for a family friendly video game site for parents after all.  But please go ahead and read as many reviews as you can, and maybe even post a comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK, let’s begin!

A few months ago, we got a couple of downloadable only collections of Namco NES and Famicom games.  I even wrote about them, which you can read here.  But did you know that in Japan, they got a physical copy of the game on the Switch, and that it had different games and a new interface?  I actually imported this game because it was only 30 bucks, which isn’t bad for an import title.  So let’s take a look at this collection and what makes it different from the ones we got in the US!

Got another batch of game reviews I’ve recently written over at GameDad.com, including my coverage of the first ever PAX Online.  Yeah, don’t expect much.  But please read it anyway along with my other reviews, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d really appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

Recently, Netflix launched High Score, a new documentary series on the history of video games.  I thought it was entertaining enough that I wanted to discuss and review it here on this blog.  So here’s my thoughts on the six episode series!

It’s now September, and you know what happens this month?  It’s my birthday on September 15!  So let’s have a pretend birthday party right here on my blog!  In the comments section, leave me a pretend birthday present.  It can be anything you want.  It’s the thought that counts…literally!  I’d love it if you did that as I could use a bit of cheering up this year (I think we all could).  And here’s some presents for you!  Reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com!  Please click on the links and read as many as you can and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two.  I’d appreciate it.  OK let’s begin!

One final part of my blog series on the TG-16 Mini!  Last time we looked at some of the games on the Japanese PC Engine side, and now we’ll look at the rest of them.  The games in this batch I’m more familiar with, because they were released in the US in some form or fashion either on this console, other consoles, or in the arcade.  And they’re also made by well-known companies like Namco, Capcom, SEGA, Taito, and Konami.  OK let’s finish this off!

As I mentioned in previous TG-16 Mini blogs, the Mini has two different menus you can choose from.  One has US releases on the TG-16 side, and one has Japanese games on the PC Engine side.  Since we’ve gone over all the US releases, now we’ll look at the Japanese ones.  I’ll split these into two blog parts.  In the first one we’ll look at the Japanese games I’m not so familiar with, and then in the final blog we’ll look at the games I’m more familiar with.  So let’s get started!

And here’s the last of the blogs about the games on the Turbo Grafx-16 Mini’s US releases.  Well, mostly.  I’ll combine a few of them that had both US and Japanese releases on here like I did last time.  So let’s take a look at the rest of them!

For the next two parts of the games on the TG-16 Mini, we’re going to look at (mostly) the US releases.  Some of the same games are also on the PC Engine Japanese side, but I’ll let you know which ones are like that when we get to them.  OK let’s begin!
