Day 11: Felix the Cat

Based on the cartoon character of the same name, it’s a platform game where you play as Felix to rescue his girlfriend from the mad Professor.

How many of you remember Felix the Cat?

Day 10: Adventures of Lolo trilogy

Developed by HAL Laboratory, they are puzzle games. You play as Lolo to solve puzzles and collect gem in each level.

Perhaps we could see a revival or Adventures of Lolo 4 someday.

Happy 25th Anniversary to Spyro: Year of the Dragon!

The last Spyro game developed by Insomianc Games and it’s one of the first PlayStation games I’ve played.

One of the best Spyro games of all time.

Day 9: Kirby’s Adventure

Another late-NES game. It’s the second game in the Kirby series and the first to include Copy Ability, which Kirby gains powers after inhaling enemies.

And Meta Knight made his first appearance too.

You know the drill! Pick any 4 of these games listed. Which 4 are you choosing? This one is hard, but I’m gonna have to go with games that I played regularly as a kid.

— Sonic Heroes
— Ratchet & Clank: Going Commando
— F-Zero GX
— Tony Hawk’s Underground

(I wish I played Ruby & Sapphire more 😔)

Day 8: Balloon Fight

Similar to the arcade game Joust, you control a character with balloon to defeat enemies with balloons. It has two modes: balloon fighting and balloon trip. 🎈🎈

It’s programmed by late Satoru Iwata.

When Nintendo does announce Pikmin 5 for Switch 2, I think the reveal will happen in a Nintendo Direct.

It does seem like the “Close to You" CG video involves the Pikmin series, but I don't believe this is related to Pikmin 5.

Day 7: Mach Rider

Another underrated and overlooked game, you’re playing as Mach Rider in a post-apocalyptic Mad Max style. You also can design courses just like Excitebike.

Hopefully it would get a revival one day.

One of my favorite video game characters and franchises of all time.

Have you played all of the Mega Man games on the NES? Any favorite?

Excellent choice. GameCube has a massive library, so there are lot of games to choose for NSO.

Day 5: Bomberman & Bomberman II

It's one of my favorite video game characters in the NES. In each level, you, playing as Bomberman, use bombs to destroy blocks and enemies while looking for a door in a maze.

Just built the Lego Game Boy this afternoon!

Estimated building time: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Easily one of my favorite Lego sets to build, so it feels like playing the Game Boy. Perfect addition to my Lego gaming collection!

Yoshi made his debut in Super Mario World 35 years ago, so here’s a couple of fun puzzle games starting our favorite green dinosaur! They got ports for Game Boy and SNES as well.

Super Mario Bros. 40th Anniversary Banner at Nintendo Live.

If Nintendo included more than just the 2D and 3D Platformers, it would need to be much larger!

I bought TurboGrafx-16 in Tennessee about 3 or 4 years ago. It's a really cool video game console, so it needs some love.

I also bought TurboExpress at my local retro game store!

Day 3: Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego?

It’s an educational adventure and puzzle-solving game to use time travel to find clues and track down her henchmen.

Has anyone played Carmen Sandiego before?
