    A Reminder That Childhoods Return This Year In A Big Way Through Suikoden, Lunar, and Power Stone

    Toys 'R' Us filed for bankruptcy in 2017 before returning in a limited capacity years later. Even before that though the company didn't have the relevant position it used to when video games were considered toys, rather than an industry. After all, it was over 50 years ago that Nintendo decided to market its home entertainment system in the boy's aisle of the toy section, influencing not the trajectory of gaming that remained well into PlayStation's life cycle of gaming, some might say it remains. For a young me, Toy's 'R' Us was the place to go if you wanted to buy games, with the alternative being smaller family-owned stores, which one close by to where I lived did factor into my buying habits, but if you were looking for the best selection, the former was the right place to go. This year three titles arrive that harken me back to those days, the games being Suikoden, Lunar, and Power Stone. While they aren't the only ones, this year is poised to be a great year for the generation that grew up on Geoffory the Giraffe.
