A weird fun Treasure game that's experimental with its mechanics. Its alot of fun once you get in the groove wi!th the controls! Music is really bumpin too.
Camera is a bit wonky though, really my only gripe.

A great game that takes Wario into a Metroidvania-esque romp. It takes a little bit to get going but once you unlock some abilities, everything clicks super well.
If exploration were like Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, it'd be an easy 5 stars from me, but what Wario Land 3 does super well with its limitations.

A solid Crash Bandicoot clone filled with the charm of the M&Ms characters yet riddled with some frustrating things that prevent it from being great, but I didn't feel like I wasted my time with it.
Controls could've been a bit tighter and level design could've been more fair, otherwise its a solid time. The music composition is nuts.

Another great game by Treasure which translates Wario into 3D fairly well.
Movement could've been a bit tighter and the game would definitely benefit more from having more levels but those are my only quips. Would love to see another game like this, surprised Nintendo didn't go for it despite Wario World's success.

One of the best Game Boy games that aged very well. Enemy placement and some level design quirks were a bit strange but overall, a great time.
Probs one of my favorite 2D Mario games now! Love the music and visuals, and Wario's Castle is a great level.

Such an amazing game and definitely one of Nintendo's best platformers.
Incredible.
Incredible.
Beat this game years back as a kid and I've always wanted to revisit it
Still holds up! But I think the biggest issue I have with it is the lives system. I usually don't mind them in games, but for a trial and error puzzle platformer its a bit annoying to deal with.
DK's boss fights aren't to crazy either, but they get the job done.

This game was super fun to start to finish, its a bit slow, but you get used to it after a level or two.
The game is extremely short if you're not going for completion but man, I wish it were longer, its pretty clear to me that the developers wanted to make this game bigger and have more worlds but they were stuck to a strict deadline because this game coincided with the release of Epic Mickey 2.
The Touch Screen stuff was a bit tedious to deal with when it called for it, but it stopped bugging me the more I played once I learned that you can skip a ton of the "required" ones outright. Kinda made the game feel like I was scaling my own difficulty in some places. Preferably would've had the tracing stuff be locked to sidequests.
The sidequests aren't horrible, but they are a bit of busy work since you'd have to replay some levels to get the thing the character wants. You don't have to do all of them to beat the game though but I wish you could just leave the level once collecting the sidequest items.
Overall, a fun game that I'd probably say is above average in some ways. I just wish it got more time it deserved.

One of the best games to make yourself go to sleep
Wasn't a fan, I threw the towel in on this game after 2 hours. I wanted to give it the benefit of the doubt but it genuinely put me to sleep.
At least Luigi's Mansion 3 was god tier.

Yeah, no.
I played this game back in 2017 for 2 hours and some change and I just got bored. The only thing keeping it from half a star from me is visuals, and I don't really care for the OST either.
The combat system is addictive sure, but when you're not gaining anything from it why even bother. You get cash to buy more stickers but you find a ton of them on the overworld. No point.
Don't waste your time on this game.

A solid 3DS platformer and a nice little companion to the Console version of Generations. Level design for Classic Sonic past the Genesis stages were a bit screwy but I still enjoyed it. Playing as Rush Sonic again was nice but I wish the trick system from those games stuck.
I love how theres different stages and bosses but there was a huge missed opportunity to pull from Sonic's Handheld catalogue for stages. Very surprised nothing from the GameGear and Advance games show up here, only handheld rep in this game is Water Palace and Tropical Resort from Rush and Colors DS.
I think this game is worth playing if you've already played Console Generations.

Solid game with a killer OST. Love the visuals too!
2001
Solid remake that I never was able to beat as a kid until now. As a "Mario game" its solid, and definitely had an impact on the series moving forward which is nice.
