I'm playing Stardew Valley right now for a review. It's a fun game, but it plays EXACTLY like Harvest Moon, so it's not really innovative in any way. It still plays very well, but it's just a carbon copy of something that's been around for literally decades.
I love Animal Crossing, but the amiibo update wasn't enough for me to play New Leaf again. Only thing that caught my interest was the puzzle game you can unlock that plays like Puzzle League/Tetris Attack.
Don't get me wrong, I love the N64. But the PSOne edges it out just a little bit. Back when I was in college and writing game reviews for a newspaper, I only had a N64 and I just wasn't able to review enough games for it. So even though I couldn't afford it, I got a PSOne a couple of years after it came out. That was one of the best purchases I ever made. After that, I was reviewing games for it left and right. Some of my favorites include the Namco Museums, Point Blank series, FF9, Brave Fencer Musashi, Super Puzzle Fighter 2 Turbo, Mega Man 8 and X4, Mega Man Legends 1 and 2, The Misadventures of Tron Bonne, Klonoa, Tail Concerto, Tomba 1 and 2, and many more!
I'm working on reviewing Stardew Valley on PS4. I think you would like that one.
I really enjoyed I am Setsuna. One of the few RPGs I've played all the way through in a LONG time.
That Wonder Boy remake is pretty cool. I can't wait for the true Wonder Boy sequel, Monster Boy, which comes out later this year.
I'm not as familar with the Guity Gear characters, so I don't have a favorite, but Baiken has pink hair, so that's pretty cool.
The first Shantae game is sitll my favorite in the series. PIrate's Curse is my second favorite.
The PSP was a great handheld. Some of my favorite games include Loco Roco 1 and 2, Ys Seven, Mega Man Powered Up, Gurumin, and Half-Minute Hero.
I prefer Metroid. Just never got into Castlevania, and I've played a lot of the main series. The only Castlevania game I really liked was Kid Dracula.
Did you put your Skylanders on a trash can lid?
I haven't actually bought any Skylanders in stores, I just get the ones that come in the review copies I am sent. But if I did have to buy one of the Giants, I'd probably get Ninjini. She looks pretty cool. I do have the sidekick Mini Genie, though.
The Pop Fizz I have is red, not blue. But it doesn't light up either. Pop Fizz is pretty funny in the cartoon and I liked his trippy level in Imaginators.
There are lots of great Kirby games to start with. Kirby's Super Star, Kirby Triple Deluxe, heck, even the side games are good. Like Kirby's PInball Land, Kirby Air Ride, or the game I started with: Kirby's Dream Course.
