Then again, is there anyone else like Miyamoto-san? That’s a great question… it would be amazing to have someone like Shigeru Miyamoto. Then again, is there anyone else like Miyamoto-san?

Now the music from Dr. Mario will be stuck in my head all day, thankyouverymuch. The picture in this blog is from the opening of Ingrid Calame's show, November 2007. We had a racing themed party and decided to hook up the game on the wall - it was a HUGE hit. Anyone want to bring Wii in for the next Forefront opening? :) I still have Nintendo hooked up at home.

Here's another great tribute to retro gaming: MegaMan 9 for the PS3 and Wii. I was just playing the demo version yesterday. Phil, I didn't play Final Fantasy VI in Japanese on the SNES (i.e. the first three or four times). Since I bought my Playstation in Japan and ordered a Japanese PS2, I have played VII through XII in the native language (minus XI, which I played in English on the PC). And I started playing VI again in the Japanese Final Fantasy Collection, but like I said, I don't have as much time to play RPGs these days. Chrono Trigger is another classic from Squaresoft. I also really enjoyed Chrono Cross. Awesome comments, everyone! Here’s another great tribute to retro gaming: MegaMan 9 for the PS3 and Wii. I was just playing the demo version yesterday.

Steampunk ftw. Just so happens the wallpaper on my iPhone is an illustration by Yoshitaka Amano, the FF VI character designer. Also, I'm not sure this makes anyone "cool" but if you played six on a Super Famicom, in Japanese, then my mind may blow apart. What are your thoughts on Chrono Trigger? I might say it's perfect gaming. Anyway, MIS and New Media brothers/sisters, we got to, got to, got to, geek out over this stuff sometime. I'm serious. Ed, I’m with you on the Final Fantasy VI tip.

But it's the designs of these games that really stand out - Super Mario Bros, Grand Theft Auto, FIFA, Grand Turismo - the look and creativity behind the development is amazing.

Castlevania is my favorite game, by far, and I'm also fond of Legend of Zelda and Mike Tyson's Punch Out. I used to enjoy Skykid too---my brother and I would play two player, and instead of working together as a team, I'd always shoot him down. I still love the old skool Nintendo.
