Sorry to be a Debbie Downer, but I can't help but feel like the DKC games are overrated. I have the first and second on SNES and have spent plenty of time with them. The gameplay is rather simplistic and gimmicky. Every level revolves around some kind of gimmick. DKC 2 was one of the most frustrating games I played in a long time. Those damn mine cart levels are horrible. I can appreciate their fluid gameplay, and do agree that they are fun, but they have problems. The best thing they had  to offer was great graphics and sound.

I used to rock out to that Clayfighter song on SNES. I didn't really know video games could have spoken dialogue untill I played Super Metroid, and heard that narrator say: "The last metroid is in captivity. The galaxy is at peace." That kinda blew my mind at the time lol. The only song I can think of like this is the intro to Tenchu on PS1. That game is really dated, but I still have a soft spot for the atmosphere, japanese music, and horrible voice acting.

I'm hoping to get Bravely Default soon. Maybe next month. Don't forget to send me that book, Snee. I'm definitely looking forward to it!
