Did you know popular games are popular because they are good?

When I played this at 6 years old it rocked my world, 3D on handheld that went above and beyond its console sibling titles blew my mind. And it's still great today!

It's good! It's damn good!! It deserves more credit!!

Nourishment

Nourishment... 2!!!

Beautiful beyond its aspirations, and very underdiscussed as far as its technical achievement goes. Can't believe I didn't play it sooner

They do a really bad job of hiding that they wrote this during questionable political times in America but it's otherwise really stellar

In the time since this released I went from loving it to despising its bloated single-player campaign to feeling nothing but animosity towards its monetization. It feels like Capcom is always gonna be the scummiest swine no matter how much they fix up their old franchises

Easy argument for the best kart-style racer if it didn't have such overbearing CPU difficulty

Honestly? This is the best Sonic game to come out of the post-DC era until Mania

Best new game I played this year maybe. I want to be hopeful and excited for the future of expansive AAA experiences at a time where 99% of studios are bleeding out at the hands of their corporate ringleaders.

Best multiplayer experience of the year, spent about 3-4 months going back and forth on this with my brother and it's evil, it brings out the demons

It's quirky - but with a dark SECRET!! OooOOOOOoooOOooooohh!!

And that secret is MUPPET HOMOSEXUAAAAAAALS!!! OOOOO O O O O OOOOOO O O OOOOHHH!!!!!!!

Incredibly based for confirming that Amy is, in fact, a white woman

We are all WAY too generous to this janky motherfucker and will continue to do so

Accidental kino

This is great for like the first 2 cups and then it keeps going and going. Good roster tho

JaFAR, this actually IS the better one!

Mid (unaffectionate)

This is one of the worst sequels I've played in my life

I ran through this in co-op with my older brother who never plays beatemups and it was one of the best experiences I had this year. And then I realized there's like barely any other beatemups that even get close to this and I got a little sad.

Great start to one of the best series I got into this year, wish I knew about mech spam first time I played it

I could squeezehug the life out of this game

You hate Super Princess Peach because you misinterpreted its setting as calling Peach an over-emotional wuss. I hate Super Princess Peach cause it's a worse version of a dollar-store Yoshi game. We are not the same.

Dig dig a tunnel, quick before the hyena come

Curse you anti-rental corporate scum!

This was really solid when in the spots where it wasn't obviously unfinished. I really wish I didn't have to say that about every new Sonic game.

Wtf it's actually good

Why did they port this to GG? Just to flex I guess

Life-changing moment

it's good but nintentubers really neglect to acknowledge how bizarrely unfinished it is

My man Mario, you're cool, but you're bringing too much of your bing-bing-wahoo to my golf, maybe tone it down

Felt disrespected on a personal level by this one

Even as Bass this plays horribly, Inafune was on something

The courage macaroni bit but with platforming and combat

JaFAR, there's TWO of me

Tank controls are cool but this is a little overkill

Gorgeous, ambient, but not something I'd return to probably

i remember listening to this OST on my psp while visiting my uncle as a teen. He passed away a few years ago, there's no sentimentality between these two factoids but it's impossible to think about one without the other now. Life is odd.

Fantastic sequel in about every respect and peak of the series

Abominable, downright rancid balancing, thoroughly miserable, weakest of the Advance games, but still had some cool moments

grazing so close to God's light

Why did everyone gas this up so hard? This is the middest of the mid

Byotiful, a fantastic replay to end the year. Unfortunately, I can't speedrun this, and Terri is gonna kick my ass whenever we get around to racing it

Man they should make one of these with nothing but sidescrolling, there's no way they could screw that up

ALSO kind of dogshit to play but the ludonarrative power here is immaculate

Dogshit (but has a good vibe)

i mean, it's bomberman

Evil to an excessive degree, proof that maybe Sonic Team shouldn't listen to the fans as often as they think they should

Jenny read the entire Ken Penders manifesto while I raced this with Weatherby and I don't think I'll ever experience something so magical ever again in my life

A good, different direction for the series to end on, but it's poorly balanced in the exact opposite way every other AW game is. Very odd.

Mid

You can't go home again

Great, please let Ko Takeuchi work a new rhythm heaven now

Nintendo and Pokemon are going to hell

weatherby gaming

Heyheyheyheyheyhey what if, heheheh, what if, heheheheheheheh, the queen, heheheheh, her clothes, hehehehehehehehe, the clothes, heheheheheheh, they go OOPS, uh oh, eek! My clothes! Ooohhhh my goodness gracious! I am Nakey!! OOooooooh my!!!!

Pretty underwhelming, remember not feeling very warm about it

YEAR OF AMY, WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Mid by nature, dogshit by conception

Why the fuck did they put this bimbo on my mean bean machine

I gave this the most charitable attempt in the fucking world and it was still dogshit

That's some good MS soul right there

Clinger winger 2 is the second worst thing I've experienced in my life

Mid

And ya think it's bout time ya die, and I agree

Man GG fans will just lie about anything

Rareware fans are the only acceptable developer fans to mock. Actually that's not true, there's many others. But it's fun excluding rareware fans. Fuck rareware.

Dogshit

I'm not being an N64 boomer, this was actually really solid

RACIST dogshit

This sucked, why did I give it a 5???

I think this is the only time I've ever heard the N-word used in a japanese video game

I ALSO gave this as much of a charitable try as I could and it fucked me anyway, pre-Sonic Genesis RPG's really are soul-siphoning experiences

I'm sorry Jenny

There's a saying about how you have to judge games by their own merits but man it's impossible for me to see this as anything but a total misunderstanding of what made Cybernator good. Miserable, dreadful game.

Man NES stuff deserves a lot more respect

Kino

why is a 2D n64 game with like 6 sprites on-screen running at 20fps

Grinding is (sometimes) cool

They took away my jangling keys but they gave me my ball-pop lawnmower thingy instead, all is right with the world after all

Never forgiving the nintentubers for what they did to this game's price

games like this make it so confusing how irem pushed out something as poorly-balanced as undercover cops

It ain't even tetris!!!

Have you ever been 'aw shit I wanna buy a new game on the eShop but I don't wanna spend too much' so you settle for an 80% off 1.99 indie platformer with no sauce and no ideas and no future? Then you've played AVGN 1&2, unfortunately.

Mid

This game is racist against fish specifically

How do you gentrify an N64 game

Kino to the ends of the earth

Dogshit (sorry C_F it was still fun playing it w/ you)

I got a scope on my yoshi (it sucks)

kino

Damn good, one of the better SNES things I played this year

Thanks maradona

Oh, THERE'S the gameplay.

...where's the enemy design

All these Capcom Mickey games are cool but kinda just worse versions of other games they made
