I’m big into retro games too. For most of my life, I had a very strict “It’s Nintendo or I don’t have/play it”. As I got older and started college, I broke out of that and started playing anything I saw that I liked, regardless of platform. I’ve seen you post a lot about Dragon Quest, but do you have any other 3rd party series you love, specifically PlayStation and Xbox or even Sega titles?

Hmmm, well there’s Sonic of course.

I’d like to say Skies of Arcadia, but that isn’t really a series.

It’s actually hard to think of very many series where i’m not just a casual fan... like, I like Mega Man, but only the classic series, I like Castlevania, but only the linear games, I like Bomberman, but I’ve never actually finished a game, I liked Viewtiful Joe a lot but never played the sequel, ect.

I’m just now trying Resident Evil, I was a big fan of the 1st game, I beat the first part of RE2 with Leon, but I haven’t got back to it, since that’s when the pandemic started and it became too topical for me, and nerve wracking in a time where I already had too much high anxiety.

I’m just now getting into Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon,

Metal Gear is real fun but I’ve never played the MSX games or MGSV.

Wow, this question is seriously making me aware of just how far I am from actually being outside of my Nintendo comfort Zone. I haven’t even played all the Dragon Quests yet.

I never submit things but omg I just ran up on your blog and I’m in love with your work!! Your art style - especially with how you draw faces - reminds me of the hand drawn Dreamworks animated films and seeing these characters that mean so much to me in a look and feel deeply rooted to my identity touched me real good🥺

HEY WHAT! that is such a gigantic compliment.... i grew up watching a lot of dreamworks and i still love the old art style sooo much, so this is really cool to hear. thanks for stoppin by!

I think there’s a Splatoon Manga, and Akira Himekawa’s Zelda manga series is popular though it’s older. And it may be hard to get a hold of but there’s an F-Zero anime

I’m aware of all those but I’m looking specifically for a monthly comic book, in full color, not adapting any one game in particular but turning the worlds of each game into an ongoing series with new stories and no set ending planned out, and with more western style of writing and story telling.

. I don’t like the Zelda Manga at all, and if I remember right, the Splatoon manga is a gag manga?  Manga in general is very hit or miss with me, especially video game adaptations. 

I love the Sonic comic because it’s writing is geared more toward western fans, and it’s telling new stories outside of the games instead of just re-telling an existing story with a new spin on it, in fact, any time the comics ever did try to adapt one of the games, I often found them to be some of the weakest parts of the Sonic comic.

I really need to find a decent way to watch the F-Zero anime, I’ve only ever managed to catch a few minutes of episode 1 and that clip of the Falcon Punch everyone likes to throw around... And for that matter I need to get back to finishing the Kirby Anime... I actually love the Kirby anime, but the person subbing the last handful of episodes got bored.

Have you thought about Macaws/Parrots? I’m getting ready to play a Hyacinth Macaw-like Bard named Dudley Anodor for a campaign.

I have, actually! (link)
