Wow! Two games that I'm not ashamed to sing about. I loved Bases Loaded as a kid. Played it a lot. Somehow, miraculously, it has stood the test of time and is still completely playable. Enjoyable, even. In my enthusiasm for the game, I went a bit off the deep end with the song.

Speaking of introducing new instruments, I'll be you didn't know that I played the banjo! Yoshi's Cookie really did make me hungry. Cookies falling, cookies everywhere, Mario in his chef outfit. Right after I finished this week's songs, I baked a cake. I'm totally serious.

To recap: Two great games, two strange songs, one great week in the land of the Virtual Console.

This guy doesn't have a shred of talent.

He thinks he is so clever and witty.

He gives the Jewish people a bad name.

I gotta say, the baseball game looks boring, but maybe I'm missing something.
