    My go-to N64 Thanksgiving game is Donkey Kong 64. It was released in North America on November 22nd, 1999, just 3 days before Thanksgiving and Metallica's S&M album was released on November 23rd. So, I have fond memories spending my entire Thanksgiving break from high school sitting in my basement bedroom at my parent's house exploring Donkey Kong in 3D and listening nonstop to my favorite metal band playing with a symphony. Good times.

As a foreigner I didn't understand Thanksgiven 100 % the first time hearing it either and my friends talk about it and describe it funny. I wonder If they will make games relating to holidays again because I haven't seen those types of games recently. Now It's more like a game with the theme of the holiday but It's as a setting not getting into it that much for example Spiderman 2 had Christmas theme but It's not like south park and how they fight turkeys or how in other classic games.

    Craziest tradition? For a while we'd bring out these gigantic toy boxing gloves and us cousins would go a couple rounds, tournament style, with the other cousins judging basically. XD Knockdowns basically counted as an automatic win/TKO. Sibling v sibling matches were the greatest. As I recall, one year I had an older female cousin who insisted I not take it easy on her, despite my protests. ...I think I nearly KO'd her. Pretty sure that was the last year we did any boxing lol. ^_^'
    It actually was a tradition every year when we were younger for the cousins to gather around and play video games, so Thanksgiving does bring back a lot of early N64 and Saturn memories. I would definitely add No Mercy or some other wrestling game to this list. I know you're a wrasslin fan, Glenn, so you probably know that wrestling on Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving weekend used to be a tradition (similar to the annual American Football games), and wrestling games definitely got played a lot on Thanksgiving in my family.

    I was just about to ask, yall have Thanksgiving? I know at least Canadians have it, but theirs is a bit different. I wonder if any American expats celebrate it in England. But it would make sense that it's an American thing. The holiday ultimately was a way for all the different religious groups in America to share the same feast day that wouldn't conflict with the many different church calendars.
    Funnily enough, I remember reading that the American Thanksgiving dinner is considered exotic cuisine in other countries like Japan. I imagine people treating it as exotic probably make it way better than we do, Turkey is the blandest meat in the world :o

    Turkey on Thanksgiving is overrated. I'd rather have ham.

    Dear content creators... if you don’t want your precious IP ruined in a crap game, don’t license it to Acclaim!

      You know they’re bust right? 😄 acclaim were great they just secured the south park license so late to make proper games with the IP in order to get games out for Christmas and couldn’t run the risk of South Park being a short fad. I think if they’d have known it would last a long long time they’d perhaps have delayed all their games to the following year

    It's about family, food, giving thanks for our blessings, and awkward political speeches during dinner by that one racist uncle.

    Dude, why would you say such rude things about Mario Party like that? I grew up with Mario Party and the fact that you said a ton of crap like that about my favorite game just made me angry dude. Please apologize.

    I LOVE your reviews and you. I'm from Minnesota (currently in Wisconsin) My unusual tradition is that I don't really celebrate Thanksgiving anymore. as a kid I did, because my grandparents on my mother's side were still alive and well. it's too bad. my family has splintered and now i just chill in the city. I don't live at home anymore so I only sometimes go home. but my parents are not together and my dad's house I don't even like going to anymore as my extended family has moved in there and it's a madhouse. Super annoying. Let me think... uhhhhh. I dont know. your reviews take my mind off it. lol
