I didn't know there was a Konami Arcade Classics on Xbox. Is it this one? I almost forgot about that one. The Konami arcade collection I played the most was on PSOne.
I think Secret of Mana is better than Trials of Mana.
Luigi's Mansion 3 is so full of personality. I think a Luigi's Mansion movie would be better than a Mario movie.
A lot of my brothers liked the Mass Effect games. And that's about all I know about Mass Effect!
Yars Rising is very good, and most of the frustrating parts are skippable.
Mika and the Witch's Mountain had such potential, but I eventually got frustrated with it. You flew on a broom at your last job? :)
I know you said you were burnt out on RPGs, but I highly recommend you download the demo for Ys X: Nordics. It's a pretty beefy demo, too! I'm on chapter 3 on it and it hasn't ended yet!
MST3K is my top favorite TV show of all time. I think in the most recent season, The Mask is considered the Halloween episode. They celebrate it in the skits anyway.
Streets of Rage 4 is one of the best beat 'em ups I've played in years. Highly recommended. My favorite characters are Estel and Blaze.
Luigi's Mansion 3 is also fantastic. Lots of personality. I think Luigi's Mansion would make a better movie than just Mario.
Bowser's Inside Story is probably the best of the Mario & Luigi games, and one of the best Mario RPGs overall. But Brothership is coming out next month, so we'll have to see how that fares.
A couple of days ago I downloaded a demo for Ys X Nordics and I'm still playing it! I've got the game preordered but this is one meaty demo! You should check it out.
I really liked Echoes of Wisdom. I just beat it a few days ago. It took me 100 hours to beat Tears of the Kingdom, and only 35 to beat Echoes of Wisdom. And that's a good thing. I felt the last two 3D Zelda games were a bit overbloated anyway. Echoes of Wisdom MIGHT end up being my GOTY, it just depends on how good Ys X Nordics and Mario & Luigi Brothership end up being. Those are the last two big games this year I want to play.
I skipped out on Ni no Kuni 2 since the gameplay was different and the Studio Ghibli involvement was even less. Doubt I'll ever try it since I'm knee deep in so many other games right now. Just beat the new Zelda, pre-ordered Ys X Nordics at the end of the month, and then all the games I've got to review, yeah I've got a lot on my plate right now.
Just to give you a bit of an audio taste as to what Bakeru is like, here's one of the level theme songs:
