Games tend to just not be as colorful these days, especially last gen. Things are getting better like [insert shameless Gravity Rush 2 plug 'cause everybody should play that game]. I find being on drugs necessary for life...and by drugs I mean caffeine (which is a drug, technically). Being a parent is exhausting 
I never liked directly comparing Mario 3 and Mario World because they're such different games. SMB3 is a very fast game with short levels and World is purposely a little slower and more focused on exploration and finding secrets. They're both great, though I personally prefer Mario 3 if I have to pick.
I never played any of the NES Mega Man games as a kid (not sure how that happened) but I got the first Legacy Collection for 3DS when it came out and plowed through the first three games. Still meaning to go back and play the other three. I liked MM2 best.
Ding ding ding! We have a winner! But we'll get to the specifics of that tomorrow 
I hear Celeste is really good.
My wife and I tried Sacred 2 very briefly years ago but got turned off it pretty quickly. But at this point I can't remember why.
That's so bizarre that your PS2 will play DVDs and not games...which are printed on DVDs o_O I know you won't have a shortage of games to play but it is frustrating to have something like that unavailable to you.
I want to go to PAX someday. Man, A Hat in Time has been in development for so long! Too bad it's not coming together better.
I always enjoy LEGO games at first but then lose interest as they go on (and playing them makes me sleepy for some reason o_O ). We've started several of them but only finish Harry Potter Years 5-7 and Batman 2.
It got into the single digits here last week. I don't want to do anything colder than that lol
I've got a new BaD theme and have been slowly prepping blogs this month. I think I've got seven ready to go now. Not even half done yet! I always like seeing what people do for BaD.
I imagine you wouldn't want to play the Yakuza games back to back because they'd get too samey. But one every year or two would probably keep them feeling pretty fresh.
I actually have DQ VIII on the PS2 (gotten from a friend who was moving on to newer consoles and didn't care about old stuff anymore; yeah, one of THOSE people lol) and so it's hard for me to justify double dipping just for portability. I'd love to get DQ VII on the 3DS though. It's such a huge improvement over the original PS1 game, after all.
