True Sequel to Shadowgate! - Beyond Shadowgate: Unboxing & Review
YouTube video by JonLeung1
www.youtube.com
Here's my unboxing and review of Beyond Shadowgate for the PC!
(Note that this is not the same as the 1993 Turbo Grafx CD game of the same name.)
It's a sequel to the NES version, and looks and plays just like it!
Check it out here:

The first wave of amiibo, Super Smash Bros. For Wii U, and Pokémon: Alpha Sapphire/Omega Ruby all came out on Nov. 21, 2014 (11 years ago), and it was apparently "Nintendo Day".
I found my old photo of that day's haul.
Why don't they do "Nintendo Day" every year?

Want to play Kirby: Air Riders after seeing the boss returning from K:SS/K:PR, but I don't like playing multiple games at once, still have to finish PL:Z-A on my own and K&tFL:N2SE+S-CW with my bro, and HW:AoI and MP4:B take priority... so much for Switch 2 "not having games"!

On the 35th anniversary of the Super Famicom, I'll teach you how to multilate your Super NES (lolwut).
Inside the cartridge slot of your North American SNES, bend the two tabs with pliers until the tabs snap off.
Congrats, you can now play Super Famicom games on your SNES (without a converter)!

Though it came out a few days earlier in Europe, Donkey Kong Country's release date of Nov. 21, 1994 (31 years ago!) is ingrained in my memory as one of the first game release dates I took note of, and one that I still remember, because of its aggressive marketing campaign.

I have mixed thoughts on various "console wars", but I did appreciate Nintendo's confidence in 1994 to call out Sega directly.
(Weirdly, though it was negative towards it, it still felt like it was also advertising for Sega's 32X for them...)

Planning a Transformers-related event, so I'm looking for red and purple stuff (you know, in reference to the Autobot and Decepticon logos), and I am legitimately annoyed that these flavours of popcorn seasoning don't come in the same size (not shown to scale here).

I made a better version of the "Crono TRIGGERED" .GIF.
Also, this is me when others say they "finished" Chrono Trigger, but didn't play New Game+, the second playthrough with about a dozen endings (you challenge Lavos at various times), which I consider the REAL meat of the game.

Everyone wants a Super Smash Bros. movie, but... what would be the story?
Tabuu, Dharkon, Galeem, etc. need to be hinted at in other Nintendo movies long before such a movie. They are villains that only exist in SSB games, and I doubt many Nintendo fans know/care who they are.

Please stop using "this DID NOT have to go THIS HARD!"
In a world where we're always shortchanged, when something awesome does go more intensely than expected, enjoy it! Don't discourage it! Be grateful!
Even if it's not meant to be literal, it's an old and tired catch phrase. Say something new!

The GameCube is 24 years old today (based on its North American release date).
For like a year leading up to it, I remember rewatching the Spaceworld 2000 GameCube demo reel probably dozens, if not over a hundred times.
Seeing Link, Ganondorf and Samus was amazing!

Everyone's allowed their own opinion on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and The Legend Of Zelda movie.
It's still early, but you can like or dislike them. You can even say so.
But if you're hating JUST for attention or clout, then no one cares what you think. Just another boring opinion.

The best James Bond movie is 30 years old today. Three decades. Three-tenths of a century. Feel old yet?
GoldenEye is the first 007 movie that I saw while it was new, and one of the only movies I've seen more than once in a theatre.

Old news to some, but whenever people voice concerns about The Legend Of Zelda movie being live-action, I'm surprised the Imagi Studios pitch (~2007) for an animated one isn't mentioned much at all.
Yes, Nintendo passed on this, but it's still interesting, is it not?

The Game Awards will be announcing this year's nominees in about an hour.
I watch The Game Awards every year mostly for the lulz. (Does anyone say "lulz" anymore?)
Remember the "Bill Clinton Kid" from a few years ago?

Too many idiots online.
Majority of them are bots.
Of the real humans, many are trolls who just cause rage/chaos; no point to waste time on them.
I'd give people the benefit of the doubt, but without knowing who is real/sane, don't be surprised if I give up on fruitless convos.

My brother's fave moment in Sam & Max Hit The Road (1993). We still quote this to this day.
Do you like point-and-click adventure games?
If you haven't played any, why not?
I feel like there are too many console-only gamers that missed out on a great era of these in the '90s.

I genuinely think that people who pass on Majora's Mask are missing a unique and fulfilling Zelda experience.
If their excuse is the time limit,
1. it's NOT JUST three days
2. sure, each loop resets, but you can slow down time with a song
3. it's more rewarding when you accomplish each task in time.

Time to bust out Christmas music?
It's mid-November, Remembrance Day was a couple days ago, here in Canada we already celebrated Thanksgiving last month, so there's nothing else for the rest of the year besides Black Friday and the whole holiday season!
2025 sure is blazing by!
