I talk about video games, and wear a stack of hats. Oregon, United States Check out my YouTube channel! I cover lots of retro SEGA/Nintendo games and hardware, among other things. https://youtube.com/@HatStackMike
Here's a new Hat Stack Chat rankings video!

I'm ranking every SEGA system that was released worldwide (so no SG-1000), and giving my reasoning with each ranking, while sharing my personal memories with each system. Hope you enjoy!
Sonic vs. Knuckles in the Hidden Palace - The ultimate rival showdown!
Screw this room in particular.
(from Zelda 1 second quest)
Celebrating Mar10 day by playing my very favorite in the series: Super Mario World!
This was the first 16-bit game I ever saw as a very young child, and I was completely enamored by the vibrant colors, charming art style, and this lovable new dinosaur character named Yoshi.
HAPPY MAR10 DAY!
Let’s all celebrate Nintendo’s renowned series and play some Mario today!
One thing I’ve always found to be odd ever since Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Why was Scrap Brain Zone chosen as a song for Sonic’s music?
Like, don’t get me wrong, it’s a great song and I’m glad it’s in Smash, but it’s just so incredibly unfitting for Green Hill (and by extension Windy Hill).
My top 10 Sonic games:
1. Sonic 3 & Knuckles
2. Sonic Mania
3. Sonic 2
4. Sonic (x Shadow) Generations
5. Sonic Adventure
6. Sonic Advance 3
7. Sonic Rush Adventure
8. Sonic CD
9. Sonic Adventure 2
10. Sonic Frontiers
Just my personal list. I definitely know that not everyone will agree.
I will try, and fail!
Nope, I’m wearing my usual seven. 😛
Yep! Next Level Pinball Museum & Arcade.
Spending my evening at a giant arcade with over 600 machines! 😁
Happy 30th Anniversary to Super Mario RPG!
I’ll be completely honest: I normally don’t like turn-based RPG’s. Super Mario RPG has always been one of the very few exceptions though, and I absolutely love this game!
Happy 35th Anniversary to Street Fighter 2!
Probably the most important and iconic fighting game ever made, and still one of my favorite games of all time.
Which SEGA console do you have the best memories with?
Were you won over by the blast processing of the Genesis/Mega Drive, enamored by the unique library of the Saturn, or completely wowed by the ahead-of-its-time Dreamcast?
About 5 years ago I got this Sonic & Shadow fridge magnet with a marker that I can write/draw on. I was drawing various things on it for a while, and then one day I drew The Nanny and never changed it and it’s been so long I think it’s pretty much stuck like this now.
Thanks! I just recently found that one at Hot Topic.
Chemical Plant is pretty much the coolest Sonic zone ever as far as I’m concerned.
Do you think after The Super Mario Galaxy Movie, they’ll continue the trend of naming the movies after game titles?
I haven’t been yet, but I imagine I’m going to start using one very soon, because I have no idea where anything is, and yeah like you said this is getting pretty tedious. 😆
I started playing through the Zelda 1 second quest. I’ve never properly tried to play through this before, and it’s something I’ve been meaning to do for a long time.
Even though I knew this going in, it still throws me off when things aren’t where I remember them being. 😆
Happy 9th Anniversary to the Nintendo Switch and Zelda: Breath of the Wild!
If I look at things objectively and without all my nostalgia for the 16-bit era, the Switch could very well be the best game system ever made. Switch 2 has quite a tough act to follow.
I think Sonic CD might have my favorite visual design in the entire series, and the one I find to be the most aesthetically pleasing. I love how the environments look SO much in this game.
Green gaming controllers. 💚
In case you didn’t know what my favorite color is.
I’m having Yoshi egg cookies again tonight!
Which Pokémon is your favorite?
I’ve always loved Oshawott the most.
Happy Pokémon Day!
I’ve always loved this view from the top of the lighthouse in Banjo-Kazooie’s Treasure Trove Cove.
Who the hell built this carnival where a significant portion of the lights are controlled by a step-activated switch that’s just randomly lying around?

Happy 15th Anniversary to the Nintendo 3DS!
I love this system so much that I ended up buying three of them throughout its lifetime. So many great games and great memories. Probably my favorite dedicated handheld system ever.
