WarioWare: Get it Together was recently released on Switch, so in honor of that, I wanted to write a blog about it! At first I thought about talking about all the games in the WarioWare series, but I did that last time a new WarioWare game came out, so you can just read that blog here if you want. Not much would’ve changed anyway if I did it again. But WarioWare: Get it Together has a focus on characters, so I figured I’d go over all the crazy characters in the series and how they play in this game! So let’s get started!
When I was a kid, (well, early teen I guess), game maker SNK came out with a console called the NEO GEO. The games on it were arcade perfect, which was amazing, but not really when you consider the cartridges were the same being used in the NEO GEO arcade machines that let you choose which games to play. The only downside was the home console was EXPENSIVE! The console itself cost more than 700 bucks, and each game was over 100 dollars! I didn’t know ANYONE back then who owned a NEO GEO! That’s why when I see a NEO GEO collection now for cheap, I feel compelled to buy it. It’s like retribution. Take that, SNK! I can afford your stuff now! So the fad in the past few years is to make mini game consoles with games already included on them. They’ve done it with the NES, SNES, SEGA Genesis, TG-16, and more. And now they’re doing it with the NEO GEO! But this one is different! Instead of being shaped like a tiny NEO GEO, it’s made to look like a little arcade machine! You can even play the games on a small screen, so it’s portable, too! But you can also hook it up to a big TV! I got one at a reasonable price, so let’s take a look at it!
I’d like to say this year’s been better than the last, but it really hasn’t. Even though it’s improved, we’re still having to deal with a lot of COVID crap. And then we found out my mom had breast cancer late last year and we had to deal with the surgeries this year. Luckily she’s cancer free now, which is a miraculous and wonderful thing, and I thank God everyday for that. But man it sure was rough for a couple of months there. You have no idea. But anyway, around this time of year I like to make a list of my best games SO FAR, because usually the AAA titles are released later in the year during the holiday season, and the titles that came out earlier tend to be forgotten. So here’s when those games get their due. Keep in mind that this is my list only and no other outside opinions contributed. And if a game isn’t on this list, it either just didn’t appeal to me as much or I haven’t had a chance to play it yet. Ok with that out of the way, let’s begin!
We’ll finish out June with another batch of game reviews I’ve recently written over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe even post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d really appreciate it. OK let’s begin!

WORST. YEAR. EVER. I think we can all agree that 2020 has been one of the worst years in our lifetime, what with the Coronavirus, quarantines, riots and looting, politics, and much more. And it doesn’t seem to be getting any better, as I just found out my mom has breast cancer (keep us in your prayers). Some days I wonder if we’ll EVER get through this. 2020 can just suck it! But at least we’ve had some good video games come out to help keep our minds off of this dumpster fire of a year. So here’s my Best Games of 2020 Awards Show! But keep in mind that this is my list and my picks only, no outside opinions and whatnot. And if a game isn’t on my list, it either just didn’t appeal to me or I haven’t played it yet. Can’t play ‘em all, you know! But with that out of the way, let’s take a look at my picks.
WORST. YEAR. EVER. I think we can all agree that 2020 has been one of the worst years in our lifetime, what with the Coronavirus, quarantines, riots and looting, and much more. Some days I wonder if we’ll EVER get through this. But there is one good thing about this year so far. We’ve had quite a lot of really good games come out the first half of this year! Normally I like to write a blog this time of year with my favorite games of the year so far, because the holiday titles and E3 announcements usually take precedence by the end of the year. Of course, because of the Coronavirus there was no E3 this year, and as of this writing we still don’t know what big games will be out for Christmas. Just another reason why this year sucks. So I don’t know how much different my list will be by the end of the year. But keep in mind that this is my list and my picks only, no outside opinions and whatnot. And if a game isn’t on my list, it either just didn’t appeal to me or I haven’t played it yet. Can’t play ‘em all, you know! But with that out of the way, let’s take a look at my picks.
A few of the games I got on sale recently are three collections of Konami classic games. So today we’ll look at the collection with a bunch of Konami arcade titles. I’ll go over the other collections in the coming weeks, don’t worry. They should’ve called this the Shooter Collection, because with the exception of one game on here, they’re all shooters. So let’s take a look at what’s on here!
I hate to admit it, but I’ve had a hard time dealing with all this Coronavirus stuff. Well, I guess it hasn’t been TOO bad, but bad enough that I’m a bit disappointed with myself for not dealing with it better. But I’m still really scared and anxious about all of it. I have to say that I’m super happy that Animal Crossing: New Horizons came out when it did. Couldn’t have come out at a better time. It gave me a sense of normalcy and saneness during all of this. I’m also glad that I’m still able to review games for that same sense of normalcy. Speaking of which, here are more games I’ve reviewed lately over at GamerDad.com. Please click on the links and read as many as you can, and maybe post a ‘like’ or comment or two. I’d really appreciate it!
NIS America recently released a collection of some of SNK’s arcade hits on the Switch. While SNK is mostly known for their fighting games and NEO GEO, before then they made other arcade games, too, and that’s what this collection is all about. So no King of Fighters or other NEO GEO games. Mostly pre-90’s stuff here. But despite having a lot of army themed shooters, this is still a pretty good collection, so I thought I’d go over the games on it today.
Last week we looked at some games on the SEGA Genesis Classics collection out now on consoles. But there were so many games on this collection, that I had to split it into two parts! So here are the second half of the games found on this massive 16-bit collection. Do be sure and read the first part, too, if you haven’t already!
It’s that time again. Time for more links to game reviews I’ve written lately over at GamerDad.com! Please click on as many links as you can and maybe even post a comment or like or two. I’d really appreciate it. OK, let’s begin!
A new year brings promise of new video games, so I thought I’d write about which ones I’m looking forward to this year. Of course there will probably be some announcements of new games throughout the year (like at E3), as it’s a bit early. And of course some things may be delayed, too. But anyway, let’s take a look at what I’m looking forward to playing and reviewing this year.
Can you believe that 2015 is already over? What I like to do around this time is write about the best games of the past year. Keep in mind that no outside opinions went into the making of this list. It’s just my own picks. And if a game is missing from my list, it either didn’t appeal to me as much, or I just simply haven’t played it yet. Can’t play all the games out there, you know! Plus I do apologize if this list leans toward the Nintendo side. I don’t have an Xbox One or PS4 yet, so you’ll just have to deal with it. So with that out of the way, welcome to my Best Games of 2015 Awards Show!
This week I added a lot more of my collection to my playlist of games arranged by completion time. So a bunch of games got put into my travel pack for Mark's place. Those I finished with will be put in the trade bin to go towards new purchases. I've heard the Amiibo's are more plentiful right now and I'd like to have an Olimar one.
Hello my nipple pinching hobgoblins, I have returned from my holiday bearing gifts! And those gifts are my words. And those words are about to be spoken, and they will be digested by you.
Can you believe this year is already half over? What I like to do this time of year is write about the best games of the year 2015 so far. Everyone is all excited over the E3 announcements, and most of the really good titles come out during the Christmas season at the tail end of the year, and the games that come out earlier tend to be forgotten. So this is where those games get their due.
As is my usual weekend activity, I headed over to my friend Mark's place. First thing I did was set up my NES, but then I booted up the 360 to check the sales and watch the Fallout 4 announcement trailer on youtube. Sky ship? Oh yes! Then I put on Netflix and looked up something to watch from 1986 in keeping with this week's theme. Mark and I watched season 1 episode 3 of The A-Team and about half of Ferris Bueller's Day Off before something crashed the system. Thank you MS for having such a reliable system for doing non-gaming things (sarcasm). I thought that was what you wanted it to do most. But it was just as well, because I was getting a little bit tired of Ferris Bueller and wanted to get to some gaming.
Sorry I didn’t participate in BaD this year. With game reviews to write over at GamerDad.com, plus my regular job, one extra blog here a week is all I have time for. But as we wrap up the BaD month, I wanted to go out with a bang with this blog. So I hope you read and enjoy it! It’s the 20th Anniversary of the original PlayStation! Well, technically 2014 was, since it was released in Japan in 1994. BUT, I’m counting the US release, which was 20 year ago. So in honor of that, here is a list of my favorite original PlayStation games! Keep in mind that list this isn’t in any particular order, though. All right, let’s begin!
Well Happy Monday Pixlbit Nation! Since 2014 is almost over I felt it was time to bring back a new favorite, The Second Annual Chris Goes Awards Show! Last year I thought it would be fun to look back at the games I played, and find which ones were my absolute favorites. Well it is back and I am excited because by my Backloggery Stats I think I had a good year of gaming. I beat 30 games and completed 3 games over 9 formats. I am actually on pace to beat at least one more before the New Year. Anyways let’s get started with The Second Annual Chris Goes Awards Show!
Well I was hoping my next batch of game reviews would be all scary in time for Halloween, but aside from one game, these aren’t really that scary at all. But I guess that’s what you get for writing for a family-oriented game review blog site! But that’s OK. These reviews still have plenty of monsters and ghosts and kooky spooks! I hope you all can click on the links and read as many as you can and maybe even post a comment or two. I’d appreciate it. Thanks!
