A new Kirby game was released on 3DS recently, called Kirby: Planet Robobot.  In this game, Kirby can pilot a robot mech to smash enemies and solve puzzles.  So that got me to thinking about other mech games that I like, so here’s a blog about them!

So a few days ago I beat Ys: Memories of Celceta on my PS Vita.  It was a fun game, but not near as good as Ys Seven on PSP.  One of the reasons why I liked Ys Seven so much was it had a fantastic and memorable soundtrack.  One of the best I’ve heard in recent memory.  The Vita Ys game wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t as memorable.  So now I’m going to try and do something I’ve never done before here: write a blog and post videos of music from Ys Seven that you can listen to.  (Yeah this is kind of a filler blog)  I hope I can get it to work!  Here goes nothing!

So my computer conked out on me after 5 to 6 years of service.  I guess that’s pretty good, but I do wish they’d last longer, especially considering how much you pay for them.  So now I’m writing this blog on my new computer, getting all used to Windows 10 and new programs and such.  You know how it goes.  Hopefully this one will last me a long time, too.  Anyway, I got a new batch of reviews I’ve written recently over at GamerDad.com.  Please click on the links below and read my reviews and maybe even post a comment or two here or there if you can.  I’d really appreciate it.  You’ll understand why I titled this blog “Bouncy Ninja” in a moment.

I love classic video game compilations, but you hardly see them anymore.  Most video game companies now just sell their classics separately for you to download.  I guess that makes them more money, but in a way, it’s also kind of sad.  Luckily, SEGA just released a collection of some of their 3-D remakes on the 3DS.  SEGA also sells these remakes separately on the eShop, but now you can play nine of them on a cartridge.  So since I like to go over games in classic compilations, here are all the ones you can play on the SEGA 3-D Classics Collection.  I’ve even reviewed a few of them a couple of years ago that were released separately, so when I come across those, I’ll make a link to my original reviews in case you want to read further!

Can you believe it’s May already?  Anyway, I’ve got another crop of game reviews blooming over at GamerDad.com, so here are some links and things to those reviews.  Please click on and read whatever you can, and maybe even post a comment here or there.  I’d really appreciate it.  Thanks for reading!

You know, there are a lot of Nintendo franchises that I really like, such as Kirby, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Metroid, etc.  And there are some that I don’t like as much, but I don’t hate either.  Star Fox is one of those franchises.  But for as indifferent as I am about Star Fox, I’ve ended up playing every game in the series, so I guess I at least like it a little bit.  So in honor of the recent release of Star Fox Zero, I thought I’d go through all the Star Fox games and give my quick impressions and personal experiences with each one.  I’m not really rating each of these games on this list, although if I had to say, the first three here would be my favorites.  So hop into your Arwing and let’s take an intergalactic tour of all the Star Fox games!

Hey folks, I have another batch of reviews and articles I’ve written over at GamerDad.com lately, including my articles on the National Videogame Museum!  If you read my April Fools’ blog from a few weeks ago, you know that I’ve been volunteering at the newly opened National Videogame Museum in Frisco, TX, and I also wrote some articles about them at GamerDad.com.  So if you read any of my reviews, please read those especially, as I put a little extra effort into them.  They’re a lot like my PAX and E3 articles, because the museum is nearly as good as those places.  So if you can, please click on the links, read the reviews, post comments here or there, and maybe even click that ‘Like’ button.  I’d really appreciate it!  OK, let’s begin!

Nintendo and Namco have worked together a lot in the past.  Namco’s good at making arcade baseball games, so Nintendo had them do some Mario baseball titles.  Namco’s Taiko drum music games were a hit in Japan, so Nintendo had them do Donkey Konga.  And Namco also is known for racing and fighting games, so they helped Nintendo with the arcade Mario Karts and recent Smash Bros. games.  So when Nintendo wanted to make a Pokémon fighting game, Namco was up to the task again, since they are known for fighters like Tekken.  In fact, that’s why the Pokémon fighter is called Pokken, as a combination of Pokémon and Tekken.  So I thought in this blog we’d take a quick look at the game and check out which Pokémon you can play as!

Hey folks, I wanted to share with you all some big news.  There is a video game museum opening tomorrow, April 2, in Frisco, TX, and I’m volunteering there to help out!  I hope that if you are ever visiting North Texas around the Dallas and Fort Worth areas, that you can come and visit!  You might even see ME!

All right folks, it’s Spring Training Time, and I’ve got a regimen of reviews for you to read that’ll get you into shape!  If you read these reviews I’ve recently written and maybe even post a comment or two here or there, I guarantee that you’ll be super-buff in no time and be able to pick up a whole car with just one hand (well it might be a Hot Wheels car).  So let’s get started, and thanks for reading my reviews!
