The act of running and jumping has never been less fun in the Mario franchise

If not for the egregious slowdown this would easily be one of the top five games on the NES

I'll have to play that 3DS port some day.

Gets the first three stars for the soundtrack alone

Like Bandersnatch, but better, but still bad

I love the way I became the character as I progressed.

A series of choices, some bizarre, some straight-laced, that I made throughout the game succeeded in immersing me into a character that was not myself, but one that I understood.

A game where the genre of "role-playing" is a more apt descriptor than most that wear the label.

Like any children's entertainment truly worth it's salt, Earthbound is equal parts charming, whimsical, and traumatizing.

A lot of intense reactions out there regarding the shitty ending of this game, and I feel like this was misleading because it's not just the ending that's shitty but every individual piece of the entire package.

If you're like me and have a job where you sit in a chair answering phone calls all day, then this game is the perfect thing to put on your side monitor. Something that is engaging enough to pass time, but simple, and dare I say boring enough to not fully distract you from your job.

I basically got paid for playing this.

Sets a new standard for JRPGs on the PS2

You know back in 1997 when consumers first felt the rumble pack included in Star Fox 64, they ran screaming out of their homes because they thought the ships were really coming at them.

Sometimes a sequel is so good that it makes the things that came before look worse by comparison and Metroid Dread absolutely does this.

Fucking amazing how this game manages to literally be Super Mario World

Honestly Nintendo; what happened to Stanley

The best game ever no one has played
