The 30 Day Gamer Challenge – Day 3 – A game that makes you really happy

Well, one thing I REALLY used to be into was Japanese game design.  Not to say that I don’t like it anymore, but I feel differently about Japan than I used to, but it doesn’t come from disliking it at all.  I’ve just grown out of the charm of being obsessed with anything that Nippon could offer, from music, games, movies, and subtitles only to just letting it be there, and be good if it’s good, and bad if it’s bad, and it does offer plenty of both.  However, in all times, the good is fun to recognize and the bad doesn’t need to weigh me down, so one of my favorite Japanese games is a little GBA gem that never got localized, but had a DS sequel that did.  The DS game is amazing in it’s own right, but the GBA one felt much more complete and enjoyable to me.  Welcome to Heaven.

The 30 Day Gamer Challenge – Day 2 – The most underrated game you’ve ever played

Oh, so here we go.  A game I love that I’m sure most of the world wouldn’t look at, despite the fact that is shares a LOT more in common with some of the most popular games that are currently on market OR some classics of consoles past.  The story behind this game is an odd one, but as an NES title, the story is the small dab of glue holding in place a fantastic game where you never say die.
