I'm a HUGE fan of Animaniacs, so I rented the SNES version as soon as I saw it.  Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed.  I found it more annoying than anything, which is a shame because Konami's Tiny Toon SNES game they made before it was really good.  But then, that Tiny Toons game was made by the same team that would later form Treasure, so you know.  I hear the Genesis version of Animaniacs is better.  But I didn't have a Genesis back then.

I've heard good things about QuackShot and the Taz games on Genesis.

Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion is actually a sequel to the Castle of Illusion game on Genesis!

Unfortunately, I'm not going to review it.  Sometimes I play games just for fun, espeically the ones I have to buy.  It's why you also won't see me reviewing Ys X: Nordics.  All you need to know is...both games are good.

I'm not really reading or listening to anything significant, but I sure am enjoying the heck out of Hello Kitty Island Adventure on Switch!

I think you would like Hello Kitty Island Adventure.  It's a lot like Animal Crossing, just more goal and mission oriented.

I DO play more grown up games from time to time, though.  Stuff like Soul Calibur and Phoenix Wright.  Later this year I'll be playing a new dark take on Pac-Man called Shadow Labyrinth (yeah, look it up, it's weird).  Gotta play it out of morbid curiosity if anything.

I loved the new movie.  I'd watch it again in a heartbeat.  Kind of sad it didn't win the Oscar for best animated movie, but I guess I need to see the winner, Flow, on HBO Max before I get too biased.

If you liked Curse of the Were-Rabbit, you should check out Vengeance Most Fowl.  I loved it.  You can watch it on Netflix.

Sounds like the total opposite of what I'm playing right now: Hello Kitty Island Adventure!  I mean, the worst thing you have to do in that game is that at the very beginning, you have to jump out of a plane holding floaty balloons because the cake baking machine on the plane was malfunctioning and spitting out cake at everyone!  The threat is real!

Ninja Gaiden definitely has good controls.  Only other company I can think of who had games with snappy controls like that is Capcom.  Ninja Gaiden was still way too hard, though.  The thing I remember most about that game was the song they play when you die.  "Dun dun dun, dun, dun, dun dun DUN!"

A lot of those 16-bit ones are good in the arcade, too.  Especially Magic Sword and Dungeon Magic!  Played a lot of the former in arcades with my friend back in the day.

Only game I know on here enough to talk about is Onechanbara.  It started out in a series of budget priced PS2 games in Japan.  But it gained enough fame for...reasons, that they went ahead and made it a series.  Most of them did not come to the US for...reasons, but I did get the one that came out on the 360.  The reason why the main character lady wears nothing but a cowboy hat, feather boa, boots, and bikini is that's all the things she had time to put on in a closet before she had to rush out and kill zombies.  It's goofy fun but still feels like a budget title.  Right now I'm playing kind of the total opposite of this game: Hello Kitty Island Adventures!  

Good to hear from you here!  Hopefully you can stick around and post some blogs and read some of mine, too!

I'm not really reading much of anything.  High school and college kind of drained the fun of reading out of me.  But in May, there is a book I'll be getting: The Official Pac-Man Cookbook.  Oh who am I kidding, I won't be reading that either, just looking at the pictures!

I've been reviewing lots of games, but I finally finished Ys X: Nordics the other day.  It's getting harder and harder for me to finish long games anymore.  At the end of this month, I'll be getting a physical copy of Hello Kitty: Island Adventures.  I'm such a MANLY gamer! It looked like Animal Crossing so I'm going to have to try it!

Not realy listening much of anything lately except for my usual 80s stuff.  

If you want some good point and click adventures, I highly recommend TellTale's pre-Walking Dead stuff if you can find it.  There's the Sam & Max games, Tales of Monkey Island, and Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures.
