You're not missing much with City Folk.  It did little to improve what was in Wild World. In fact, there are many aspects about Wild World I liked more.

As a kid, I only saw the Rally-X arcade machine once.  It was in the front of another grocery store.  I played it, but I never caught the name of it so I always remembered it as the race car maze game I played once.  That is, until it was on the Namco Museums and I was like, "Oh that's what it was called."

I read that they showed Rally-X and Pac-Man at the same arcade trade show and analysts predicted that Rally-X would be the next big thing, not Pac-Man.  Oboviously they were wrong, but I can see why they would think that back then.

I actually like New Rally-X more, as it improves the gameplay and makes it more playable.  There's a lot of cool tricks to boost your high score if you can collect the flags in a special order.

Speaking of special, the Special Flag first appared in Rally-X, and has since gone on to be a Namco icon in many other games.  You can find it in old games like Xevious and Pac-Land, as well as newer games like Star Fox Assault (made by Namco), and Tales of Vesperia.

I like the Rally-X cameo in one of the PSP Ridge Racer games.  Rally-X is a mini-game, and if you can get a high score, you can unlock the Rally-X car in the main game.  It's all blocky and when you drift, it even poops out three puffs of blocky smoke behind it!

Kirby Star Allies HECK YEAH!

I didn't know that Blade Strangers would have that girl from the fishing platformer game in it!  I'll have to look that up.

There are a few other fighting games with an all female cast, but the only one worth mentioning is also from SNK.  Gals Fighters on the Neo Geo Pocket Color.

I had never heard about this game until I learned about it through the PSOne Namco Museum volumes.  And I do believe the first time I played it was on the PSP Namco Museum Battle Collection.  Although last year when I went to Free Play Arcade, they had a King & Balloon machine there.  I think that's the only time I've seen one.

"Thank you!" 

"Bai Bai!"

I like my Switch a lot, too.  But right now I play my PS4 more often.  That might change down the road, but that's how it is now.  I nearly always just play my Switch through the TV.

Namco Museum vol. 2 was the first PlayStation game I owned.

I've seen Baby Pac-Man in quite a few places over the years.  I even saw it last month when I went to PAX South!  It's hard to find because that machine is a pain in the butt to maintain, supposedly.

Super Pac-Man is one of my favorite Pac games.  It's so crazy and I got really good at it because when I was a kid, it was at the front of the local Wal-Mart for the longest time.

I actually side with Midway on those other Pac-Man games, too.  Namco let that stuff slide for a few years because it was making them money.  So they're at fault as much as Midway was.  It would be very dumb for Namco to phase out Ms. Pac-Man, as most consider it a better and more memorable game.

I would love it if you would play Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp!  You should try it, it's free!

Yeah I wonder what Mario Kart Tour would be like.  I haven't dabbled in too many racing games on my iPad.

Super Mario Run didn't hold my interest for very long either. But then, I'm not as big of a Mario fan that everyone thinks I am.
