"Is Digital Game Ownership Really That Bad?"
I’m back to talk about owning games physically vs. digitally, and this one may be controversial among fellow Nintendo/retro gaming fans, so all I ask is that you hear me out!

This update to the Nintendo Music app includes a soundtrack with over 350 tracks that are mostly comprised of 5 second songs, and I love it. Happy to see the WarioWare soundtrack here!

I’m sorry to have to be the one to tell you all this, but Bubsy is the new fighter being added to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Switch 2 Edition. Whichever character you were wanting, they’re not getting in. Just Bubsy.

This is a “Berenstain Bears moment” where I swear I remember it differently.
I totally remember him introducing himself as King Bob-omb, not “the Big Bob-omb”.
Did his official name as King Bob-omb come AFTER his debut in Super Mario 64?

Man, this game looks so good running on a handheld system. I’m really not much of a graphics person, but damn, I’ve gotta appreciate.

Zelda fans: Do you prefer the initial artwork for Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, or the revised artwork released later in development?
I like both a lot. I love the Link to the Past vibes with the initial art, but I also love the more whimsical look of the subsequent art.

Anyone have memories with Sonic Chronicles on the Nintendo DS?
I have such mixed feelings with this game. I want to love it, and there are aspects about it that I like, but it all comes together in such a weird way and ends up a lackluster experience.
And that music… ugh. 😣

The “looks like you’re playing as them but not really because they don’t have their own unique moves” characters in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate…
Maybe someday they’ll get their chance to become full-fledged fighters in the series.

Got a really cool picture with the voice of Phoenix Wright in the Ace Attorney anime, Eric Vale! No objections with how this turned out.

Has anyone else played Baku Baku for the Sega Saturn? It’s a pretty fun puzzle game, and I have good memories with these weird-ass, early 3D nightmare fuel animal heads.

One of my gaming guilty pleasures is Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game.
Like, yeah, this game probably shouldn’t exist, but I got it as a little kid right after it came out for the Saturn and I love it.
