The best Wii game to exist and there is no discussion over this fact.
It's as cozy as your favorite warm blanket.

This game was really cute. The graphics are really pleasant, and the gameplay is simple but almost zen. Also very neat how it tells a story with little to no dialogue but through the items your character keeps or doesn't and the spaces they inhabit. Very cute romance, and nice to have an indie without a huge twist, just a peaceful short experience.

Not much too it but it was fun.

Really neat game, excellent music even if so freaking hard. Easy to unlock freeplay in Arcade mode, but this version does not give you any continues for story mode. Story's still really cool and depressing, complemented really well by Ikaruga. Having 7 weapons at all times with widely different properties helps combat the hell the game puts you through.
Definitely recommended, at least to play arcade mode.

It's a cute little experience, very short but it's free so I can't really complain, but being back in this world for even a brief amount of time was lovely.

Always wanted to try this game ever since getting a trophy from it in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Very fun concept, cute sprite work, great music.
A wonderful experience, Kirby translated to 3D game play smoothly! The levels are fairly linear but encourage exploration and have a lot of different gimmicks and set pieces to set them apart. The level themes were great too; even if you have "beach world, desert world, water world" each level had a distinct setting that made no two levels feel similar. Excellent music to accompany them too!
Surprisingly a lot of content for a Kirby game, besides the minigames and the arena there's a bunch of mini stages built around a single ability or move; they're a lot of fun and teach you the utility of each copy ability.
Only real issue with the game is that it feels slower than normal for a Kirby game (along with a few quality of life issues that'd make getting 100% more tedious than it should be such as a lack of quick restart).
Very minor complaints though, this is a great game and pretty high up on my Kirby ranking!

This is a really fun minigame collection. Some of the minigames are definitely funner than the others (I was not as into the motion games and preferred the simple reaction games personally).
Working the payment into the story was an interesting touch, especially with the game wanting you to pay was little as possible (the final price is under half what the game would cost if you bought full price, making it a pretty affordable collection for what you get).
It has that certain charm that 3DS charm that I miss. With the eshop shutting down, not knowing how it would affect this game, I wanted to make sure I "beat" it and had everything unlocked, and I am glad I did.

It's cute and gay.
Environments are cool, the theming is on point, but the gimmicks weighed the DLC down some. However, the boss fights were some of the best in the series, the final boss of the DLC might be the funnest in the series.
Awesome collection, Digital Eclipse does great work on these retro compilations. I never got to play any of these back in the 90's so it's fun to try them out, especially with the added options to this collection like God Mode. $40 is a little steep but for the effort put into the collection I think it is worth it.
Great compilation of classic Mario Party goodness only held back by a lack of content. What is there is great, it just could have really used more boards. But besides that it's a fun time and a great translation of the N64 games to the Switch.

I love this game. I love the ocean, I love sea creatures, being able to just peacefully explore these beautiful areas and watch the sea life was great. So many wonderful moments in this game, from the fear of diving into the murky depths to meet the basking shark to swimming alongside colossal blue whales. The story is told wordlessly, and while simple was still a peaceful and emotional journey. The music is also perfect, I love the OST for this game, especially the track for the final segment.
This game is entirely worth the $20 it goes for, but it goes on sale for really cheap too. If you love peaceful games where you can just take in the experience at your own pace, or love the ocean, I highly recommend ABZU.
