While I wish some models were improved, it's the same Rune Factory 4 fun. It's a rock solid 60FPS high pace action, and the new content is nice. I enjoyed it as much as the original 3DS version, and I highly recommend it to anybody.
2015
While it wasn't impressive at first, I found the story and characters to be rather interesting. I feared I had to grind money for gifts for completion by playing tetris and puyo puyo, but turns out there's a secret spot that gives you lots of money (and is required for achievement), so it isn't a huge deal. For those who like visual novels with good plot and memorable characters, I can recommend it.
I enjoy this game more than the original. So much so, that I beat it on all difficulties and got all achievements. Great level design, graphics and music. And hey, they got some of the original voice cast from the cartoon, which is cute.
The most fun I've had recently playing a video game. If you're a fan of DKCs, you'll enjoy this one. A lot of similar mechanics and engaging level design.
Easily one of the best visual novels i've ever read, with good emotional story, and memorable characters. I want to do this read a proper review treatment someday.
Even though the combat is repetitive, it's also kind of relaxing. Surprizingly fun.
2017
Easily the best 3D platformer I've ever played. Charming, fun, and most definitely good. I honestly can't even name a single issue I had with it.
Old "Review":
I actually managed to get a physical copy from a store well beyond March 31st... and it was cheaper than the digital version! Anyway, I think this is a decent collection. My favorite is easily Super Mario Galaxy.
New Review:
It's easy to see why this package doesn't come close to the excellent Super Mario All-Stars, that managed to enhance the graphics and music with redrawn or recolored assets and remixed music and overall added more detail to use SNES hardware pretty well. 3D All-Stars by comparison is rather basic, improving framerate and simply upscaling the old games, and while they do look a little sharper, this definitely feels lazy. However, I don't think this is a bad package as a whole, this is a decent official way to play those games that haven't rereleased for a long time. Before obtaining this, I've never player Sunshine and Galaxy, so for me and others this is the first introduction to these games. The games play mostly identical to the original, save for the control adaptation to the Switch controllers, and a few other things like Co-Star mode in Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario 64 using Shindo version which fixed bugs, pitched up some voice clips and replaced the beloved "gay bowser" clip.
This is seen by many as a disappointing offering, because the potential for improvements is there, like how Super Mario 64 could've done with overhauling models and textures, as the game definitely looks a bit dated, with some big stretched blurry textures, and while it could be argued that the classic games don't need modern remakes, but sometimes you want more for the price. Another contributing factor is the limited run, forcing people to buy this package because of the time limit. I admit that I managed to get this game way after march 31 in a store, but if it wasn't limited, I probably wouldn't have gotten it as I had a feeling that these copies could disappear any time soon. The strategy worked, as cheap is it may be, but I want to look at this package as a game on its own, and as I said this is not a bad package. The games are functional and play just fine, save for some emulation oddities that were patched out, and this is a decent official way to play these games, wether you're new or old. I personally wouldn't recommend seeking it out because, y'know, scalpers and stuff, and the emulation can offer much more.
But hey at least this package is better than GTA Remastered Trilogy because the games actually work.

There's some screen crunch and the music isn't as good as it could've been, but it's still a solid game with some quality of life improvements and additional content, and it is worth checking out.
1995
When I played it the first time, the clunky controls and bad physics drove me away, it felt bad to play. But when I picked it again recently, it was better than I thought it was. I got used to the controls and physics and found the game to be fairly engaging. There were a few bad levels, but I still enjoyed it. Definitely not perfect, but it is not a bad game either.
1993
This game is quite buggy and rushed and unbalanced and all that, but it wasn't the worst (I completed it twice). Still, it's a hard game to recommend.
2020
The best Switch game ever made, no competition.
A solid Donkey Kong Country-like platformer, and more Donkey Kong Country is never a bad thing, right? Even if it feels unpolished at times.
2016
Wasn't exactly what I thought it was (I thought it was Pikmin-like and Overlord is my favorite Pikmin-like), it's actually a group beat-em-up that's more action-y than strategic, but it's still really fun. Also features cute graphics and awesome soundtrack.
2017
I didn't play a lot of Metroidvanias (or at all), but I really enjoyed this one. The exploration is good, the platforming challenges are good, overall a solid metroidvania adventure.
