I'm looking at you Microsoft and Rare. As you may have heard already, SEGA announced a ton of their popular franchises coming back with brand new games. The trailer referenced Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio and more. When I saw the trailer, it made me think of other studios who have properties that haven't had a game in years. Much like Golden Axe, Crazy Taxi and Jet Set Radio haven't had a sequel or new game in years. Rare is one studio I wish would tap into some of their older franchises and make new games. I mean Conker is an easy pick right from the get-go, because we've haven't had a true successor to Conker and at this point I don't think it'll ever happen. But it's not just Rare and Microsoft, well Microsoft has a lot of games they could pull from, but we'd probably be here all day discussing those games. I would have said SEGA otherwise, but since they are actively working on games that isn't just Sonic, I am going to give them a break. :D What are some companies that are in dire need of pulling from past franchises? I wouldn't mind a new Jak and Daxter game from Naughty Dog, that'd be nice. But I don't think they are in dire need of bringing said franchise back.

This isn't about game trials where you can download a game for a certain amount of time to test it out. This is more geared towards those weekend trials where you can download the full game, and play it unimpeded for the whole weekend. I know Xbox does it a lot, where they'll say you can play Call of Duty for the weekend. You can still earn achievements like when you own the game, but only for that specific weekend. Unless of course you decide to purchase the game. I've yet to try a weekend trial for a game, but I was close a few times. Do you ever take advantage of these free gaming weekends? I kind of wish they did it more often so we can get more time with games before actually making the purchase for a new game.

The problem is that all their so called “retro” games aren’t actually retro. They’re rePro games. Same thing basically, but it’s not the game that was originally created. It’s a cheap knockoff. They’re junk. Not worth the plastic they’re made of. It’s easy as hell to tell a fake from the real thing. I was pissed when I popped open a game of mine and found out it was a knockoff. I instantly took it outside and shot it to hell. Now when I’m looking at buying a game, I ALWAYS check it before I turn over even one penny. One specific screwdriver is all you need.

The Oracle games were pretty sweet, but I have to concur with @killamch89 on this. Link’s Awakening is one of the best. It’s more polished on the Switch, and made a couple of your items automatic like the Power Bracelet. On Game Boy, you have to equip it the same as everything else. Hookshot, powder, bow, etc. On Game Boy, everything, including your sword and shield have to be equipped. If an you need a certain item at an point you would have to replace either your sword or shield with it. It sucks, but that’s the Game Boy limitations.

Gunsmoke. It’s the closest what I’ve always wished for.

I prefer to go to Schnucks, it's a St. Louis area grocery chain. They're cheaper than Walmart and they have more things than Aldi does. Walmart tends to be out of the groceries I want, and I hate the crowds so I would rather go to Schnucks.

I absolutely hate spiders and most insects. Especially spiders though, I've always been afraid of them and I hate when they end up invading my space. I live in Missouri, and we get brown recluse spiders. I've killed a few this year, one bit my grandma once when I was a young kid. She thankfully went to the hospital before it could get infected.

I recently watched an Austin Evans video where he went to a few different Gamestop Retro stores as well as a JacobR video and he does the same thing. Both of them didn't have much luck, most of the games they found were disc based games like PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii U. Jacob even interviewed a employee and the employee thinks it might not last long because pretty much all the retro stuff they brought to the salesfloor were older games that have been sitting in back for a while. I was thinking about checking out the only location where I live, but now I'll just stick to going to Vstock or order games online if I want more retro games. (I also get retro games from Retro Game Treasure too.) Also Austin resorted to buying games online, and welp he didn't have a good time. Here's their videos:
