I had a random idea, today.
What if I were to play both of these cute lil' Japanese games together for my channel just to amuse myself of how many viewers will get then mixed up?
How would that happen you may ask? The 1st game is called Pop'n Magic. The 2nd one is called Magical Pop'n. That's how.

As I said on Twitter, this YouTube recap is good at snitching on me and my external uses of my channel.

Spilling the beans, now:
I DID buy myself a Switch 2.
The bigger truth, tho, is that I've actually had one since late August. Details on that are a completely different story.
Just know for now that I'll be posting my sessions of Kirby Air Riders' beta each day onward up to its full release.

The indie dev @weatherfell.bsky.social allowed me to check out their new Windswept game earlier to cover it in a playthrough!
This really cute game is very Donkey Kong Country-esque, but from what I've also assessed, it also has a hint of Celeste with its difficulty at times and its advanced tech.

The last game I think I'm gonna introduce to my channel this October are race sessions of Sonic Racing Crossworlds.
If you've watched any of my videos of CTR: Nitrofueled or any of the Splatoon games, expect to see me run my CrossWorlds videos in a similar style.
I've been VERY busy with gaming.

I've started publishing videos of Disaster Arms on my channel. More to come over time.
Here's some thumbnails I plan to use throughout my (first, Basic Mode) run of this game.

I'm surprised I hadn't brought this up on here yet:
Every October, I post full playthroughs of horror-based games all the way up to the end of Halloween.
These games are primarily Castlevania, and my main two this year will be Aria of Sorrow and Curse of Darkness.
4 additional games planned, too!

My 4th "4" game, and my last one for this theme, is Donkey Kong Country Returns. DKC4!
This the Switch version! Bananza motivated me to check this game out again!
I also still do not have Bananza nor a Switch 2, yet!

My 3rd "4" game is none other than Wario Land 4!
Wario's GRRREatest achievement on the Game Boy Advance! HA-HA-HA!
The start of what I call the "Speedy Wario" era. A game that influenced indies like Pizza Tower & Antonblast!
Why the HELL did I take so long to get to this?!

Another "4" game I'm starting is Metal Slug 4.
This is the first Metal Slug made after SNK's first bankruptcy. They were barely hanging in there to get this title made as Playmore.
I'm using Nadia for this playthrough. She has a taser, and you won't be seeing her or Trevor again after this.

Aug 1st was Mega Man X4's 28th Anniversary. I had announced a playthrough of it during my sister's wedding trip.
A more serious artstyle and story, X & ESPECIALLY Zero further question what they're fighting for.
I have more "4th" game playthroughs to announce later, tho they may not all be that.

To further explain...
AE fans love Yumi more, and I get it. She's a cutie popstar.
This factors into gameplay where some monkeys will fall in love with her as big fans, making them easier to catch. Nothing like this for her brother Kei.
But... I don't want my playthrough to be Easy Mode. Hmm...

The game is Ape Escape 3!
I took WAY too long to get to this game. I finally went for it because it turned 20 today!
Now, for the very petty question I had asked myself before, it was...
"Which 4th grader shall I play as for YouTube... the boy twin or the girl twin?"
(I picked the boy.)

I still get good comments like these on my channel. So satisfying.
I don’t just play these games to show them off, but I’m often also teaching viewers how to play them or documenting secrets.
I think I’m the first Gunstar Heroes player to record the game’s super secret Soul Bonus for YouTube.

I've decided that, for its 29th Anniversary, I'm gonna cover NiGHTS Into Dreams on my YouTube channel. It will be my 2nd Saturn game featured there after Astal.
Its identity is very synonymous with the identity of the Saturn itself. Here's to 29 years of the flying genderless jester.

Yesterday was Sonic’s 34th Anniversary.
So I finally started a new Sonic playthrough: Sonic Rush Adventure.
2007 was an off-year for Sonic, but this was his best game in it. Blaze is back as a protagonist one last time, and we get a new friend in an Australian raccoon girl.

Not sure if everyone knows this, but one of my playthroughs of the original arcade Donkey Kong has the highest viewership of ALL of my 15K+ videos.
I’ve been seeing new motion with a different playthrough I have of it rolling in after that Bananza Direct showed Tiny Pauline.

I’ve said this before, but an art project I’d like to make someday would feature the protagonists of EVERY game I’ve ever featured on my YouTube channel, no matter where they came from.
It would look like what Smash or MvC had done, or maybe something else.
This would be a VERY expensive task.

Above all else, The Legend of Valkyrie is definitely the best game I have of these four.
It's as if Namco made their own linear Zelda for arcades. Valkyrie herself is another beloved face of Namco, but only in Japan, it seems.
She could fit into Smash.

Wonder Momo is my weirdest game of this bunch.
A Toku-based stage play starring a cute superheroine that mixes high kicks with a small skirt.
*shrugs* That fanservice is pretty tame compared to what games of this ilk I've put on my channel by this point.
