I never really saw Tom Nook as being as bad as everyone on the Internet says he is.  I mean, sure he keeps you in debt, but he doesn't bug you about paying him back.  He just lets you take your time and you don't even have to pay him if you don't want to.  You just won't have a big house.

Oh great, now I'm going to have to try and remember which other characters in Ys 8 are like Gilligan's Island characters.  There was a Gilligan's Island game on the NES, never played it, though.

Thanks for listening!

Yeah most anything WayForward touches is gold.  They're especially good at Metroidvanias.  I wish they would've made Shadow Labyrinth for Namco.  then that game would've been good.

Oh no!  You got rid of Link's Awakening?  That's my number one favorite Zelda game!

Arcana is one of the few HAL Laboratory games I've never played.  They're the Kirby makers.

I think Final Fight has aged really well.  One of my favorite beat 'em up still.

I have the SNES version of Arkanoid but I missed out on Space Invaders.

I never understood why Road Rash was so popular back then.  It's super choppy!

Well if you want a new one, this 40th Anniversary one has lots of content.  But the other recent ones do too, so you can't go wrong with whatever you pick.

If you want to play a Shantae game, my favorite is Shantae and the PIrate's Curse.

I miss when classic game collections had tons of games like those.  Now they only include like, three games or make you buy each one seperately.

Time Pilot and Gyruss are some of the best classic Konami games.  The guy who made those when on to make games for Capcom like Street Fighter 2.

I never got into the Ultima games.  I'm picky about my RPGs.

It seems like two totally different eras, doesn't it?

Yeah even the worst Shantae games are very good.

Your question about Maki's Adventure reminds me of Starfy.  How do you have a platforming starring a swimming starfish?  Well they made it work!

I hear you about Glover.  We tolerated a lot more from our games back then.
