Yeah I think I remember them saying you can plug a mouse into the Switch 2 as long as it has the right kind of cord.  I think I may try that sometime.

I had never seen Anteater in an arcade nor heard of it until I played it on MAME in college!

I think the Tiny Pixels series of games is just going to be a bunch of 8-bit styled simple games, not set to one genre.

It's way too expensive.  I regret buying it.

I liked Pokken Tournament pretty well.  I found it strange they combined Tekken with Pokemon!

I think it's so cool they have Mario Paint on Switch now.  I hope they'll also bring over another SNES Mouse game: Mario vs. Wario.  That one was never released in the US.

For whatever reason, I don't remember seeing Scramble in arcades, and if I did see it, it didn't draw me in like Pac-Man did.  Really the first early Konami games I remember seeing in arcades were Gyruss and Time Pilot, and I loved those!

Our family's first computer was the Apple ][+.  I have good memories playing games on it like Lode Runner, Spare Change, and Aquatron.

The only way I'd buy a Game Key Card is if I found one RIDICULOUSLY cheap.

I reviewed Space Invaders Forever when it first came out.  Could've used more games, but otherwise I enjoyed it pretty well.

I just finished DK Bananza.  What a great game!  One of the best I played this year other than Hello Kitty Island Adventure.  I've since started Shadow Labyrinth, which I'm not liking so far.  It's the dark take on Pac-Man that's like a Metroidvania but it's REALLY hard.  I am not liking hard games anymore since I just don't have the time to play something over and over until I get good at it.  Nothing wrong with making an easy mode, folks.  

Which reminds me, I downloaded a demo for Mina: The Hollower.  It's the next game by the folks who made Shovel Knight.  And that game is way too hard, too!  I couldn't get past the first boss!  The game actually reminds me of one I reviewed recently called Pipistrello and the Cursed Yo-Yo.  That game was hard, too, but at least it had a difficulty selection.  I may still try and review the Mina game, though, since I've been able to review a lot of other Shovel Knight titles.

I'm also getting to review some more games lately.  One that I'm especially proud of is I got to review UFO 50.  It's a collection of made up retro games, which sounds right up my alley.  It's really good, but so far I'm not liking it as much as I thought I would.  I just think that other games in this vein, like Arcade Paradise and Retro Game Challenge, I liked much better.

Mario Kart World may not be the end all, beat all game to get a Switch 2 for, but man, Donkey Kong Bananza sure is!  I just beat it and I think it's even better than Super Mario Odyssey.

Yeah the Switch 2 version of Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac is a Game Key Card, but the regular ol' Switch version is the actual game on the card.  So guess what?  I will be getting the Switch version of that game.  Actually I'd rather get it on the PS4, but I don't think Namco is doing a physical version of that.  I'd upgrade to a PS5 but the only game I want to play on it is Astro Bot.
