Late Night Creative Thoughts

 Handheld gaming has always been my favorite method to play games, as a kid I figured I could play games and watch cartoons at the same time, and so I did. The Nintendo DS and Gameboy Advance have a special place in my heart, but today I wanted to give some love to a console that is losing it's digital store soon. I will be talking about my top 10 3DS games, these opinions are mine and mine alone, and to each there own. And without further ado, here are my favorite games on the system that started on a low note but then turned around and became one of my favorites.  10. Mario And Luigi Super Star Saga DX I am starting this list off with a remake of one of my favorite childhood games, this one has such a good graphical and even musical push. This remake and the original are both fantastic ways to play this great RPG. The combat, comedy, and world are amazing, and this adventure is definitely worth taking for those who have not been on it. Just don't play the Bowser's Minions...

 For those who want to go into this game completely blind, then this post is not for you. I am going to be diving into all of the trailers and information we have on this game thus far, so now with that out of the way, let's talk about one of my most anticipated games of 2022.

After feeling not, the best after that game and the terrible remaster of Sonic Colors, I was a tad jaded about the future of Sonic the Hedgehog, at least in the third dimension. Constantly wanting a sequel to Sonic Mania (and I still really do) and being cautious about anything in 3D...

 Retro collections are nothing short of awesome, bringing games to modern consoles for people to relive their favorites or maybe try a series they missed. I have enjoyed my fair share of collections and even covered a good amount on this blog, and I am sure I will cover more in the future. This collection has gotten me more hyped for a collection then I have been in a long time, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Cowabunga Collection. 13 games, kind of sort of in a forty-dollar package. I bought this just to have the SNES version of Turtles In Time on modern consoles but what about the rest of this collection? Let's look at this slice by slice and see if this collection holds enough to merit what it is asking for.  This collection is amazing, and I am so glad I picked it up. This is another great example of a retro collection done well. There are a couple questionable setbacks but there is so much good going for it that I am glad I own this. The games play and run very well, and...
