I talk about video games, and wear a stack of hats. Check out my YouTube channel! I cover lots of retro SEGA/Nintendo games and hardware, among other things.

Yeah, it’s a pretty cool skin! I got it from GameStop way back in the day, I believe in 2006 right after Sonic Riders came out.
In Sonic Heroes, I always thought that the Eggman statue turning into Neo Metal Sonic when everything gets flipped upside down in Hang Castle was a nice touch. Not the deepest foreshadowing ever or anything, but still pretty cool.
I still find it really interesting that, according to the official Nintendo Player’s Guide, the blue-colored Bowser in Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan) is actually Bowser’s twin brother. I wonder what his name is. I’d like to think it’s Howser, or Towser, or maybe Yowser.
Who else is a fan of the Tony Hawk games? Which one’s your favorite?
I got THPS3 with my GameCube on launch day, and had such a great time with it. It’s awesome.
Hot take, but I actually ended up liking THPS3 a lot more than the other GC launch game I bought, Luigi’s Mansion.
Super Street Fighter II is such an unbelievably special game to me. I played the console ports of this with friends for so many countless hours, and this (and the other versions of Street Fighter II) was always the game I played the most at the arcades.
Star Fox 2 is such a fascinating piece of Nintendo history. I think it’s the only time they officially released a cancelled game 20+ years later. I can’t think of a game that pushed a system more. It runs so sluggishly though that it makes it a bit hard to fully appreciate. 😆
You can see more cool Sonic tidbits like this in my latest video! 😁

I still don’t get why they renamed Sonic & Tails to Sonic Chaos. Don’t get me wrong, Sonic Chaos is a cool name and it’s what I grew up with. It just seemed unnecessary, especially considering Sonic & Knuckles was released the following year, so they had kind of a theme going on.
NEW VIDEO!

The early Sonic games have many differences between their releases in different regions, and I'll be looking at some of those differences between the Japanese and western releases of Sonic games. Hope you enjoy!
