I never thought to associate Metroid with Christmas!

I think I reviewed that Santa Claus is Coming to Town game.  It wasn't very good.  But I have played worse.  That's why I liked the 360 better than the Wii.  The Wii had so many games like this.  I actually went back and played a few Wii games the other day.  They looked terrible, too.  No wonder why I liked the GameCube better, and the Wii could even play GameCube games!

Your rhyming review reminds me of one of my articles I wrote back at The Dallas Morning News.  Around this time, the live action Grinch movie came out, and they made a 3-D platform game out of it on the PlayStation and Dreamcast.  I got to review it, so in Seuss fashion, I wrote my review in rhyme.  I got a lot of feedback about that review and it was one of my more popular articles.  I don't remember how the whole thing went, but it started out like:

Presenting for the first and maybe last time,

A game review written entirely in rhyme.

I loved 3-D Dot Game Heroes but I never finished it either.  I think I did get to the last temple, though.  I love the music in the water temple.  I'm surprised Nintendo didn't sue the makers of this game since it's SO much like Zelda.  The makers of that game, From Software, also do the Armored Core mech titles, which are very popular so there are a few references and music tracks from that in 3-D Dot Game Heroes as well.

My brotther Jeff played FFX back in the day.  He said I wouldn't like it.  I hear one of the characters uses plush toys of classic FF characters as weapons.  That would totally be what I would do if I were in an FF game.

I don't think they're doing a LEGO Rogue One game, but I think they added some DLC for the LEGO Force Awakens game.

I just hope they don't go too overboard wth side story movies.  Unless they want to do one about the Ewoks. :)

I saw Rogue One and really liked it!  Lots of fun space action and a neat connection to the first (fourth?) movie.

I hope they don't overdo this side story thing TOO much, though.  Only things I didn't like about the movie was some of the CG was a little weird (still good, though), and I didn't like any of the characters as much.

Hey wanna hear a cool story?  Well I think it's cool.  So i just got a PS4 recently and one of the main games I wanted for it was Pac-Man Championship Edition 2.  I didn't have enough funds in my account for it, though.  I know I could use a credit card, but I don't like to use my credit card for consoles.  I just get the point cards.  Well yesterday I turned on my PS4 and got a message from Sony saying, "here's ten bucks!"  So I was able to get it then!  Yay!  I wish Nintendo would do stuff like that!

Super Mario Run is OK.  Not great, but not bad either.  I only bought it because I had a 15 dollar iTunes gift card lying around that I needed to use.  I posted my friend code on your last blog if you want to add me in Super Mario Run.

Just wait'll you get to the episode with Crash Bandicoot in it.  Hoo boy...

I got Super Mario Run as well.  It's all right, I guess.  It's just a continuous runner using New Super Mario Bros. assets.  There are a few creative ideas here and there, and I do like how you can pull off stylish moves in Toad Rally (reminds me of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat).  But I don't think it's totally worth ten bucks, and if they start doing microtransactions I won't be supporting that.  I guess if you REALLY like Mario games you'll enjoy it.  While I do like Mario games a lot, I enjoy other NIntendo properties much more, like Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Animal Crossing, etc.

Here is my Super Mario Run friend code if you'd like to add me, though.

Yeah like I said, I really would've liked to have played that one.  Guess we can't play them all!

Ah you're so lucky!  That stinks that it's so hard to find!  I hear it has Earthworm Jim and Boogerman as playable characters, too.  I think I heard that anyway.
