I looked on my PS4 and Switch and none of the Konami collections and Capcom's Beat 'em Up Bundle are on sale on those systems.  They're all still 20 bucks.  Bummer.  I know that 20 bucks isn't bad, but it adds up, and if they were 7 bucks or even 10 bucks I'd get them.  With everything going on right now, I think video game companies should step up and put some of their older digital games on sale.  I know they can't do that with new games, but especially with old game collections, I don't think it takes a lot of work to poop one of those out.  It's sad because I see a lot of indie games on sale, but not games from big companies like Konami, Capcom, and Namco.  Oh well, sorry to get on my soapbox.  I've been hearing about that Cosmic Star Heroine on this site, and on the Switch it's only 3 bucks, so I may get that.

Oh man, I wanted to review the Capcom Beat 'em Up Collection when it first came out, but I was denied!  Is it on sale?  

I didn't know that the Konami collections were on sale.  I didn't get them at first because they were digital only and too expensive, but I might check and see how much they are now.  I imagine you got them on XBox, I wonder if they are on sale on PS4 or Switch as well?

Yeah I don't like stealth games.  You do a lot of 'not pushing any buttons' which seems kind of the opposite of a video game to me.  It's just not fun, although walking around in a box made me laugh in NES Metal Gear.

Sneaking around is my least favorite part of Zelda games.  Luckily those sections don't last very long.

I also hate it when they put a stealth section in a game that you can't get past unless you avoid all enemies, even if you can clearly defeat them.  That happened me to me in Beyond Good and Evil, and that's why I stopped playing it and am probably the only gamer in the world who does not like that game.

There is one game I played where sneaking around is fun. And that's the Ape Escape games.  You have to slowly sneak up behind the monkeys to catch them, but if they see you and run away, the penalty isn't too steep.  You just try again or chase after them.

Since I never had a Genesis as a kid, I didn't play this one until the Genesis Mini came out with it.  I didn't play it much, though, because I've never been able to get into Castlevania games for some reason.  The one cool thing about this game is that it says one of the characters you can play as is from Texas!  But my favorite Castlevania game is still Kid Dracula.

I never got around to getting Fantasy Life.  I wish I did, but some games just slip through the cracks.

The thing I remember about the Toy Story world is that the mall was HUGE!  And it was a mall full of nothing but little toy store sections (baby, video games, etc.).  It kind of reminded me of an old store we used to have in the Dallas area called Incredible Universe.  It was an electronics store with little mini stores in it for video games, appliances, computers, etc.  Anyway, I just wonder what the business model for that big Toy Store world mall is?  If Toys R Us can't make it anymore, I wonder how that one does? :)

I think past the 'flimsy' series of tools, they shouldn't break.  It's not fun having to gather wood to make another shovel, but then as you're doing that, your axe breaks, so you have to craft another one of those first, etc.  

This game kind of reminded me of a cross between Secret of Mana and Streets of Rage (gameplay wise).  If I had a Genesis as a kid, I probably would've really been into this game.

You know what game I wish was on the Genesis Mini?  Crusade of Centy.  Now THAT was a Link to the Past ripoff if I ever saw one!

Isn't it great how you can play Animal Crossing with your family and have fun?  That's the main reason why it's one of my top five favorite games of all time!  

I'll try to keep my gate open more often in the future, but since I'm still working, I don't get to play quite so often during the day.  Only on my days off.

Yeah I just wish I could be more brave and positive about it.
