Holy slime WHAT

That gamelist is pretty awesome. I'm really not one for 'accomplish this task as quickly as possible' style gameplay, so I hope there's not too much of that when unlocking games.

When I first saw that article I suddenly got really excited, thinking that Nintendo had blessed Exploding Rabbit's SMB Crossover, and ported it to WiiU

But what it actually is does look fun too :)

I'm not sure if they could even legally acknowledge SMB Crossover, but it feels like there's some obvious influence.

Many of the stages don't have a time limit at all, but the ones that do tend to be pretty generous. Even if you get the minimum of one star on every mission, it's going to unlock nearly every game aside from NES Golf Open.

"Beat Donkey Kong Stage 1 as Link" in Remix 1 is still the single hardest thing in the series. It took me forever.

Lucy Review. Movie's way better than its reputation, which mostly comes from the dumb trailers. It's a review of a superhero story so of course I talk about Watchmen again and complain about Avengers.

Lucy

Part 1 of the Super Pac Mega Article is up! This one covers all the arcade games, even the terrible ones. The banner took a while to make.

A Wobbly History of Pac-Man: Part 1 - Arcade Edition

Do you own one of these?

Whoa! That is kinda horrifying!

I can't tell if that is a suffocation-hazard plastic Pac-Man Haloween costume, or an S&M pleather Pac-Man fetish-suit

There's one hanging on the wall at the big arcade I go to, I'm pretty sure someone died in it thirty years ago.

Glad to hear Lucy is actually fun and bizarre. Trailer did make it look super-dumb, but I kinda wanted to see it anyway. Ridiculous goddess-powers that make action scenes utterly pointless actually kinda work for me. At least it means all of the action scenes are super short (I hope, and judging from your review they got this right). At that point the reasoning behind it being dumb doesn't really matter so much.

The Pacman thing was fun to look at, but holy hell does that multiple-choice thing look like the most terrible idea ever.

There's a car chase that probably goes on longer than it needs to, but yeah, other than that all the action scenes are pretty short and to the point.

The funny thing about Professor Pac-Man is that it was intended to be played by a more adult audience since it tended to be an older crowd that played stuff like Trivial Pursuit Arcade (which is also a terrible game I've actually played.) Turns out "which glasses are different??" is not the kind of trivia people like playing in bars.
