Soul Bubbles (DS) A signed game? Yeah, I'm that kind of nerd apparently. Although this is my only signed game. I got this game direct from the developer, and did a review of it for 4colorrebellion.com. It's a pretty great game, one I still pop in from time to time. It's one of my few import releases. I love the clear European DS boxes.
Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy (3DS) I don't have anything to say about this one, because if haven't played it yet. I'll get to it as soon as I finally finish Miracle Mask. Finishing games is pretty tough when you have two young kids!
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask (3DS) Still playing this one. I don't like the 3D characters nearly as much as the ones on DS, but I like the better screen quality.
Professor Layton and the Last Specter - (DS) Super great game. I love the additional "London Life" mini RPG thing by Brownie Brown, even if there admittedly wasn't a whole lot to do in it. I love the tiny pixel art characters in it. It was a good send off for the series on DS, before it moved to 3DS.
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (DS) This is by far my favorite of the Layton games story wise. It is also one of three games to make me get choked up (the others being Illusion of Gaia for SNES and Suikoden II for PSX). Funnily enough, it's also the one Layton game that I didn't buy new when it came out (which is why it's missing most of the inserts. I only have the case, card, and manual.) This game is just wonderful, and if you are only going to play one Layton game, I think it should be this one.
Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box (DS)
Probably my least favorite of the Layton games, but still a worthy purchase. The voice acting and everything is better than Curious Village, in my opinion. I love the voice actors for Luke and Layton.
Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS) This is probably my favorite series to start on the DS. The puzzles are fun and all, but the games really shine where it comes to presentation. The story's are moving, the characters are lovable, the graphics are beautiful, and the music is sublime. If you have never played a Professor Layton game, you need to try one ASAP.
Bound Around (Fangamer)
It’s merch Monday! It’s also St. Patrick's day, so I am wearing what I think is my only green shirt, this awesome Earthbound inspired shirt by Fangamer. This is actually the first shirt I bought from Fangamer, years ago. The one I bought then has some holes now so I ordered a new one recently. It’s one of my favorite shirts. At what age am I supposed to stop wearing graphic tees? Hopefully it’s not for a while.

Rampart (NES) I adore Rampart. It is a simple game in most ways (you basically just protect your castles, building walls and setting up cannons, then you blow up the enemy. It's the fact that it is pretty simple that makes me keep going back to it for years and years. Why there isn't a version of Rampart on iPad or something is one of life's great mysteries.
Gyromite (NES) Ah, Robot Gyro. I mean Gyromite. Fun fact: I currently own four copies of this game, because I was trying to find a cart with a famicom converter in it. Grand total spent: $6. Yeah, this game isn't worth much these days money wise. It's kind of fun though. Not really all that great when playing with ROB (he moves too slowly) but if I just play using both controllers, it can be pretty fun. Or get a friend to play with you and you can take turns smashing each other with the columns until you both get bored of the game. I remember getting this with our ROB NES set when I was a kid, and pretty much immediately losing parts to ROB. I always remembered at least liking the game though, even if it's not one of those games you love. I wish more people would actually play the game instead of saying LOL ROB and moving on.
Whoops
Guess it should be changed to “new one posted occasionally”!
Will try to get back on track here.
Little Nemo the Dream Master (NES) I remember having rented is game as a kid and finding it to be ok, but tough. I picked it up again later in life and realized just what a great game it is. The manual art above shows just how I feel about this game. I can't help but smile, even when I die over and over due to those floating puff things.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES) This game is great. It's probably my second favorite co-op game on SNES, after Secret of Mana. The 1950's horror film motif works surprisingly well for a video game, and is something I'd like to see more of. I didn't actually play this game when it came out. I discovered it about ten years ago and fell in love. The only 'bad' thing about this game is it gets super tough (although difficulty isn't a bad thing in general, it's just not something I always want to deal with when playing a co-op game). It's a great way to spend an afternoon. A few beers, a friend, and this game. A great combination.
Rad Racer (NES) I've never been a huge racing game guy outside of stuff like Mario Kart, but Rad Racer is one I always loved. A lot of these Outrun-likes came out in the NES area, but Rad Racer was by far the best, in my opinion. The game always left me wanting to play just one more time, to try to beat my old distance. I loved the different backgrounds in this game, especially the desert. The music was top notch, too. I never really used the 3D effect, but it was still a neat addition. I remember when I was a kid, my brother and I had stayed up too late playing this game, and my stepfather decided that our punishment should be "well if you want to play so badly, you need to play it all night." By around 3:00 am we were crying, heh. I still love the game, though. I wish the sequel would have been as good as this one.
Road Runner’s Death Valley Rally (SNES)
I rarely see this game mentioned when people talk about good licensed games. Granted, I don’t think I’ve played this since I was a kid, but I remember really enjoying it, even though there were some frustrating moments. I’m sure it wasn’t just me being a fan of Road Runner, either, because I honestly never really liked the RR cartoons…they were all too samey.
Probably the most memorable part of the game to me is the final boss fight against the giant robot Coyote, pecking at the giant light bulb nose. The graphics in this game were good, very evocative of the cartoon, in all their sixteen bit glory.
Sunsoft made some pretty good games, and although their NES stuff is more remembered, you shouldn't pass this one up if you see it for sale somewhere. Can't cost more than a few bucks.
Game Boy Advance (AGB-001)
Part of my quest to own a pink version of every Nintendo handheld. GBA was such a great system, it was like a SNES in my pocket. The only things it needed were X and Y buttons, and some better sound hardware. Playing the various SNES ports was awesome, but it would have been better if it sounded as amazing as the SNES.
I first played a GBA the summer it came out in Japan. Someone I know had imported a system along with Super Mario Advance. Playing it blew my mind. How could a handheld game look so good, I wondered. Honestly I still think a lot of the games look great.
One day I need to mod a backlight into this thing. Normally I do my GBA playing on my SP+ or Micro, but I still love the form factor of the AGB-001.
Super Mario Land (Game Boy)
Picked up this game years ago and I don’t know, I never really loved it. It was weird the way the fireballs bounced, and the fact that the koopa troopas exploded. That and the physics felt really off after playing the NES Mario games. It’s a fun game, don’t get me wrong, but it’s still low on my list of Mario platformers. The Japanese version came with my game boy light.
An ok game to pick up for the price it is now (about five bucks). Also available on the 3DS eShop.
excuse me??? wtf are fireballs.
of course you must mean SUPERBALLS, super mario land’s projectile power up of choice.
as displayed here in the manual’s render
please do not go around using the term fireball willy nilly
They're still fireballs to me, damnit! *sob*
