Yup, they're in there and there's a lot of 'em.  I never could get into the Darkstalkers characters much.  Don't know why.

Well, when you actually fight an enemy, the battles are a bit action-based when they switch to the 2-D view.

When I first got Disney Infinity 1.0 to review, I got a couple of those power disc things to see what they did.  I got a Fix-It Felix one (refill health automatically) and a Scrooge McDuck one (more money), so I thought that was cool.

Never played this one.  But then, it didn't have a silly Ape Escape mini-game in it like MGS3 did.

I'm looking forward to it.  It looks fun and colorful and I'm interesting in seeing what they do with it.

Aside from some new characters and stages, it's pretty much the same as the first game.  Really the only reason why I got it was because Phoenix Wright was in it.

I can't wait for the Midway Arcade Classics LEGO Dimensions set.  I think it comes out March 15.

For some reason, I didn't really like the Mario Puzzle & Dragons game.  It just felt too fiddly and was actually kind of hard.  I just didn't 'gel' with it, you know? 

I think my favorite Mario spinoff game is probably the Mario Kart titles.  I also really liked Yoshi's Island if you count that, and I loved Mario Paint back in the day, too.

Yeah, February can be kind of a bummer month.  Nothing seems to go right for me this month.  Hopefully March will be better.

That Nintendo Direct didn't really say much of anything besides announcing Pokemon Sun/Moon and putting your Red/Blue/Yellow Pokemon in the Pokemon Bank.  I would've liked to have seen some info on Pokken, Pokemon GO, or a US release date for the detective Pikachu game.

I first heard about Pokemon when I first started college and read an article in NIntendo Power about recent games that had just come out in Japan.  They talked abuot a game called Pocket Monsters where you can trade and battle monsters via link cable.  I didn't give it much thought after that, but soon after I did start writing game reviews for The Dallas Morning News, and I thought I'd try going to E3.  Well, that first year I went to E3, Nintendo announced Pokemon in the US!  It was still fairly early and some of the Pokemon names changed and Ash was called Casey in the cartoon clips I saw.  And my Pokemon press kit didn't have the catchphrase "Gotta Catch 'Em All," but instead said "Catch "Em if You Can."  But I saw how heavily Pokemon was going to be marketed in the US, and I knew it would be a big hit.  When I got home from E3, I told my editor at the newspaper that I wanted to cover everything Pokemon when it came out.  He was like, "Yeah, sure, whatever."  But he kept his promise and when Pokemon came out, i was reviewing all the games and covering all the events and helping other writers with their Pokemon articles, too.  And this was back when i was getting paid to write, so I was making a bit more money.  I like to say that Pokemon helped pay my way through college.  I enjoyed playing the new games with my brothers, and they enjoyed going to some of the Pokemon events with me.  And that's really most of my memories about Gen 1 Pokemon.
