How Many Of EGM #100’s Top 100 Games Of All Time Have I Actually Played?

About a decade ago… but not quite a decade ago because 2016 was a leap year… I did a quick lookback at The 100 Best Games Of All Time from the 100th issue of esteemed publication Electronic Gaming Monthly. For those who want to read said lookback, click here.

Today, we’re doing something different and we’re going to list how many of these games I’ve actually played. A lot has happened in ten years and I’ve played slightly more games than I did originally, so… yeah, here we go.

Nintendo Classics Virtual Boy Launch Line Up

For those who don’t want to watch the weeks-old video, your launch line up for Tuesday’s upcoming Virtual Boy debut on Nintendo Classics include Galactic Pinball, Teleroboxer, Red Alarm, Virtual Boy Wario Land, 3-D TETRIS, Golf, and the originally import-only release, The Mansion of Innsmouth…

Seems like a reasonable line-up of Virtual Boy titles… though ironic that the only one of these that pique my interest is the side-scrolling Wario Land game. Would be nice to play these without having to buy a piece of plastic (or even cardboard) that’s going to take up space and collect dust more than anything, so until that happens… I’ve got other stuff to keep me busy.

Happy Friday The 13th, everyone! To celebrate the occasion, those snake oil merchants at Limited Run are re-releasing the NES adaptation of… Jaws… yes, they’re bringing back JAWS… or JAWLS if you want to go by the Chris Bores enunciation.

I reviewed the NES original (weird to type that out) back in 2013. I’ve embedded the video here for the sake of convenience. Should hold you over until the next review pops up later today.

Of course, this conveniently comes along as Limited Run announced that they were delisting their Jurassic Park Collection from digital storefronts at the end of March. Game preservation my ass.

Valis III Delayed A Bit… But Disney Afternoon Finally Hits Switch Next Month

Yeah, the Valis III video is going to be a bit delayed… but should be up tonight. If nothing else, it’ll be a far short wait than Switch owners who were looking forward to the Disney Afternoon Collection’s eventual release that never came… until now… and by now, I mean next month.

And… AND… it’ll come with TWO additional games; Goof Troop and Bonkers, both SNES games. How ’bout that?

So… does that mean the pre-existing Steam release will see an update? Or do I have to double dip?

First, we’ve got Attitude. Then we’ve got Monday Night. Now we have King Of Kings edition… yeah… no… doesn’t work for me, brother…

The above image sums my feelings up nicely…

Valis I review coming up around 6 or 7 p.m.

Someone Asks If Switch 2 Is Worth Getting After Six Months

Source: https://nintendoisgreat.substack.com/p/six-months-after-launch-is-the-switch

So today’s video review on Valis I for PC Engine is going to posted later tonight since I wanted to make a couple last minute editing changes before going ahead with the final render and I’m probably not going to have time to do those changes until the afternoon hours since we have a snowstorm and also we have extreme cold. Beyond that, we’re on track for the most part on things.

With that out of the way, I direct you to a recent post from Nintendo Is Great covering the six months of Switch 2 and whether the first-party selection is worth getting the console at this time. Obviously, it depends on the individual and obviously, those who already own Switch 2s at this point already know the answer, but it is an interesting read, regardless, and sort of lines up with my own feelings on the matter… although another part of my not wanting a Switch 2 at this time also boils down to pricing, as well as a backlog of material that will more than pre-occupy my gaming time for the foreseeable future.

WWE 2K26 Goes To War On Monday – Pretty Please Buy Our Game

Funny how these things work out, huh?

No sooner after the post regarding the WWE 2K26 Attitude Era Edition went live did the announcement go out that now there’s going to be a Monday Night Wars edition of WWE 2k26, which will also include WCW Nitro content. Holy balls, Mean Gene. 2k must REALLY want me to spend hundreds of dollars for one year of supported premium content that’s going to get dropped like a hat once the NEXT game gets announced or even scribbled on a notepad during conceptual meetings.

Yeah… no… doesn’t work for me, brother.

Oh well… we’re going full-bore nostalgia train with this one, aren’t we? At least we can potentially recreate the Monday Night Wars in which the winner at the end of it all is Roman Reigns. That’s how it works, no?

How long before the Extreme pack gets announced? Come on, 2K. I know you want to, you lousy bastards.
