Dream Watch made me forget about #GameADay, so let's get back to it with Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars!
Mario's first foray into Role Playing Games found Squaresoft working with them to make a timing based combat system that laid the groundwork for future Mario RPG's.

Today's #GameADay is Sonic Generations. The reintroduction of Classic Sonic along with the Boost style of gameplay was a fun balance that made a lot of old and new fans happy.

12/20: Cascadia 1-4p
Draft tiles and animals to make the strongest ecosystem
Like: diff patterns for animals, nature tokens to break a rule
Dislike: animal rng never gave me a 2nd bear, 5 land types felt a little too MtG
Fix: market of 5
Verdict: great

Today's #GameADay is Shantae and the Pirate's Curse. Probably my fave of the Shantae games, it's a fun metroidvania that's not too hard but has a lot of charm.

Back home, so let's get back to #GameADay and let's start with a game that I was tied to for quite a while, Super Mario World!
The pack in game for the launch of the SNES, this game would go on to be one of the most modded games in history thanks to a very dedicated romhack scene.

Today's #GameADay is Super Mario USA for the Famicom. The Japanese release of our Super Mario Bros. 2, came in the most American of colors: hot pink!
As far as I can tell, there's no real difference between our version and this one other than the title screen. The Story text is in English too.

Today's #GameADay is Xenosaga Episode 1 for PS2. The first game in Monolith Soft's RPG trilogy that was supposed to originally be 6 games, it introduces us to KOS-MOS for the first time. She would go on to make cameo appearances in a fair amount of games, including Soul Calibur 3 and Xenoblade 2.

Not all #GameADay games are gonna be bangers. Some are gonna be shovelware nonsense my viewers love to see me play. Such as this one I got gifted at PAX West last week: The Daring Game for Girls!
Apparently based off a book series, it's a minigame collection made for daring girls like me. Exciting!

Today's #GameADay is Lumines, originally released on the PSP as a launch title. It's since been released on a ton of systems, including the Switch and Steam.
A rhythm puzzle game where you match colored squares at speeds matching the tempo of the songs in the background. Complicated, but addictive.

Today's #GameADay is Sin and Punishment: Star Successor, one of the last original releases Treasure ever did, and a sequel to the previously Japanese exclusive Sin & Punishment for the N64.
An intense bullet hell like action game about dodging, shooting & slashing waves of post-apocalyptic foes.

Today's #GameADay is Metroid Prime 2: Echoes for the Gamecube.
The middle game in the Prime Trilogy finds Samus dealing with a planet split into light and dark versions of itself, and helping repel the Ing race of invaders, as well as her "echo"... oh, and the space pirates too, I guess.

Guess I'm on a SNES kick for #GameADay because today's game is Gradius 3.
An early release on the system, and it shows. The game is marred with slowdown in some intense sections, which ironically makes the game more approachable and easier to beat. Still a ton of fun though. Shoot the core!
