A really unique and badass game with good ideas and a great challenge, held back by a weird controller scheme and some questionable design choices.
Worth to check it out, though. Once you get over the controls it becomes pretty fun, and still remains really challenging nevertheless.

AMAZING classic-vania.
Loved every minute of it. The game is so much fun. The first hour may get a little bit annoying thanks to the constant intromission of Fi Olivia, but past that is pure joy. The art style, the writing, the exploration and the new battle mechanics are great. Battles work more like puzzles than actual RPG battles, and the best are the boss battles; these are amazing in terms of mechanics and presentation.
Another thing that caught me by surprise was the OST. I wasn't expecting to be such a banger. Its full of great and catchy melodies.
Its as fun as the original Paper Mario (game I love), and better than TTYD (contrary to the majority, I never liked that game so much).
Fantastic game. By the way, it has the most shocking and sad moment I have ever seen in any Mario game. If you already played the game, you know what I'm talking about. It totally manages to leave an impact.

Amazing classic-styled Sonic gameplay, once again.
Great level design, amazing tunes, beautiful pixel graphics and a lot of nostalgia mixed with many fresh ideas.

Very underrated. Gameplay is fluid and fun, and has amazing animations for a GBC game. A great improvement over the original Bionic Commando from the NES.
It deserves much more attention.

Amazing hidden gem from the NES era. Great OST, nice 8-bit graphics and solid gameplay with a fair difficulty (except for the water boss).
Totally worth it.

Beautiful game. A slow paced, relaxed experience; perfect for those who enjoy puzzle solving.
The art direction is amazing, and the story and narrative are solid. If you enjoy games like LIMBO, Inside or Flashback, you gonna have a good time with this one.

An absolute hidden gem from the arcade era. Fun and silly from start to finish with fast paced action and great attention to detail.
I don't get why many people dislike this game.
Combat is so much fun, and the levels are gorgeous and full of variety, with nice puzzles mixed into the formula. The presentation and graphics look awesome and voice acting is superb.
As a long time Castlevania fan, I appreciate they tried the "God of War gameplay" for a more action oriented game.
Pretty good indeed; a lot more than I expected.

Ahead of its time, like many other titles from Natsume.
It's one of my favorite games ever.

And still looks beautiful even today.

This is one of the most remarkable Shooters you can find in the Arcades.
Get ready for a real bullet hell.

This game can turn really difficult out of nowhere. The good part is find the right power-ups combinations to beat the different bosses.
Fun light-gun game with some of the most hilarious voice acting and characters out there; trying to look badass and looking all goofy. SEGA is a master on that stuff. Is impossible to play a game from this saga and take it seriously for more than 2 minutes.
(Played it as part of the House of the Dead Compilation for Nintendo Wii).

This game takes the Game Boy Color to its limits.
Really good, but the little 1:1 Game Boy screen makes the game way more difficult than it should be due to the small field of view.
Also, the level design is not the best, and it gets a little frustrating to explore many areas.
However, some cool ideas and charming characters keep the game enjoyable.
It need to be praised for the technical aspect, but again, is a big fish in a very small pond.
I'm happy that the saga grew, got better, and is still present nowadays.
