I came to this after Majora's Mask and just found it to be fairly rough by comparison. While objectively I can understand this game was basically inventing the genre as it went, I find a lot to be lacking. Possibly owing to its size, there's quite a few sections that are a bit bland. There's also frustrating or confusing bits in there. This game is still super important and one of the better 3D Zeldas, its just hard for me to look past its issues.

This game made me think I didn't like first person shooters until the more modern form of them developed. It's not because of the gunplay, shooting guys is reasonably easy and somewhat fun and satisfylng. It's really good light fun that works really well. It was the mission design that put me off. Having to decipher objectives and execute them perfectly was something I was never able to wrap my head around and as a result I didn't see much of the game. Glad shooters grew past this!

It's a sloppily executed Zelda wannabe, but I still like it for its personality, atmosphere and spirit. Dinosaur Planet is a really well done setting full of lush environments, neat characters, and great music. It's nice to be in that world, and be on an adventure. The gameplay however is just serviceable. It consists of mashy combat which is pretty shallow, clunky puzzles to solve and a few bad minigames mixed in for good measure. Still, end of the day I still like the adventure. It's not bad.

I couldn't get enough of this game when I first got it. While it's not as sophisticated as later entries in the series, due to the limitations of the Gamecube it's the only one that allowed you to make as many towns as you had memory cards, and I made quite a few and got up to a lot of shenanigans making extra towns for reasons. I really loved how you could collect NES games in it, it was the first time I had encountered them. Game was simply a delight!

Pretty good simple little game, I liked that there were multiple modes here that took the conceit in different directions. Works well!

I didn't think this game was much fun and didn't spend much time with it. I didn't hate it, it was just a very nothing game to me.

I have a strong dislike of this game. It's clunky, unintuitive, very punishing, and slow. I've never enjoyed any form of it I've encountered, but the NES version seems like a bad one even beyond my issues with it due to missing one of the four levels. Obviously this was important in its time, but now a days we have good games to compare it to, so.

I don't see the appeal of this, I think it's an interesting novelty and plays okay, but I would never play it for fun.

My absolute favorite of the NES games I had in Animal Crossing, while somewhat limited in scope, this game is super fucking cool. The basic gameplay of boosting off ramps and tilting midair to land properly is really fun, there's a nice amount of courses built in, and to make things even cooler you can make your own courses if you please. I enjoyed noodling around with this so much! <3

This didn't do anything for me. No interest, seemed a bit too fiddly to bother with.

Not a great pinball game, there's better games to mess around with in Animal Crossing than this one.

Seemed a bit too rudimentary and clunky for my tastes. Didn't spent too much time with it.

Pretty fun puzzle game with a nice amount of nuance and tricks to master! I had fun playing this from time to time.

A really cool reinvention of Metroid that works really well in 3D, if only it had better pacing and structure. The gameplay is super cool, the first person exploration and gunplay works great for the Gamecube in an era before proper console shooters. It's fast, snappy and tense. However, as you get further into the game it becomes more and more of a slog. It's often really confusing where you need to go next, and very easy to get lost and frustrated. The world could also use more flavor.

For a free pinball game that came with your Windows, this game was a quite nice distraction. I appreciate that it wasn't too generic, and had a little bit of personality to it.
