I'm not being too strict about the dates. I'm largely following IGN's top 100 NES games and Duck Tales was number 10 on that list. Chip N Dale might be there somewhere and if so I'll play it when I get farther down the list. 

Interesting about Final Fantasy. My other goal, which I'm also not being too strict about, is to play games in their original format on their original systems. So I may pick up FF again as a cart anyway. 

I know I must've tried it once, but maybe I'll try it again. 

I guess DQ is only on the Japanese version of Switch. Is that right? 

I heard about Toriyama on reddit a few days after it happened. My friend and I just watched all the original Dragon Ball movies this week. 

Oh cool. I'll prob preorder Paper Mario TYD in April then. Thanks. 

I loved the original Marble Madness cabinet but console versions haven't been that great. I need that roller ball controller, which is, I guess, like a mouse, really. I should play it on PC. 

Oh. Well I want to play it but the Japanese darn it. 

I'm preordering it as soon as the date is announced!

I'm discovering that a lot of NES games of the time are kind of obscure in their aims and often give no clues, which is hard for me these days to sit with. I'm so used to games with clear objectives now. But, I'm slowly getting into it here and there. 

I was thinking I could use Google Lens on my phone to translate the dialog as I go in Ys 1. I may try that. Gameplay would be slow but at least I could play some of it. I like the idea that it was meant to be a little more forgiving than most RPGs of the time. 

Kids would love it, I think. I played as everyone (you had to for an achievement) but mostly as Bingo. Not sure why, I just chose her first.

I've seen a little bit of the show. Funny thing, I work with a guy one day a week who is on the asperger's spectrum. He knows all the daytime tv shows, game shows, kids shows and cartoons but can't stand Bluey for some reason. I teased him about it a couple times but didn't dwell on it. I'm not mean. We get so much Bluey media circulating in the library, it's hard not to mention it. 

I'll have to check to see if it's still there. Maybe worth a one month subscription to see it again. 

After finishing the remake I was so stoked to play the original again and then 2 and 3. I'm trying to do new game + though and not get carried away. I've been cranking up the volume to hear all the dialog because I really got hooked on the story.
