I only log journal dates when finishing/retiring a game. I've tried to create a comprehensive history of everything I've ever finished, so all dates from before 2020 are either ballpark guesses or are based on console/achievement/trophy data.

All reviews pre-June 2022 were migrated over from a different game tracking site.

What if Secret Collect was a Pac-Man game

Bit Boy is perfectly emblematic of original WiiWare titles. It plays around with retro aesthetics (incorporating art styles from "4-bit" up through "128-bit"), incorporates familiar gameplay mechanics from arcade titles that most everyone is familiar with, and is really, really short. It's fine!

Mid-race powerups that change the landscape are super cool, and I love the concept of rewarding crashes, but the fumbly motion controls and the complete lack of any visual style kind of eliminate any desire for me to play this over any other racing game.

Cannot stress enough how much better the arcade experience is compared to the version on Wii U. There's something visceral about the shaking seats and steering wheel, playing co-op with another setup right next to you. I had a blast! The kind of blast I did not have at home on my couch with the Wii U Gamepad!
