1991

Fun little overhead shooter on the Game Boy from HAL. The only problem is that it's far too short - it took about 30 minutes to complete.

Pretty good so far. Amazing music, good graphics for the time, and an interesting hybrid of overhead adventure game and shoot-em-up. The dungeons are pretty esoteric though.

A super comfy platformer with super appealing character designs and a wonderful Okinawa-inspired soundtrack. A lot of Japanese text for character interactions, and I was usually able to tell what they were saying based on the cutscenes that play out. It's pretty damn easy though.

Arguably the high point of the Pokemon franchise. A decent skill curve, fun things to do in each route, a fairly engaging story, amazing music, and following Pokemon are just a few examples of this game's strong points.

Amazing chiptune and good graphics for the time, but holy shit does it get hard. Not a good game if you're looking to unwind but one hell of a puzzler.

It was super fun on the first playthrough, especially since I went after completing the Pokedex. An engaging story too, much better than Sword and Shield's. However, once the honeymoon phase wears out, you're left with a pretty empty game with buggy graphics, barren towns, and not much to differentiate it from other games in the series as far as post-game content.

A decent Kirby game. The relatively non-linear nature of the game makes exploring the world fun, though admittedly there is not much incentive to explore. It relies a bit too much on recycled assets from Nightmare in Dreamland but looks good on the GBA nonetheless.

One of my all-time favorites. Great level design, God-Tier music, and amazing art direction even for today.

While the character sprites are very well animated and the music is astounding, the game itself is the weakest in the franchise. Levels require multiple playthroughs at a time to clear all of the optional objectives that you are given, and if you don't go for those objectives, there's very little to do. Not bad, but certainly a far cry from its predecessor.

Amazing game with beautiful graphics and sound, fantastic level design, and a quirky sense of humor

This game shows its age in a lot of ways, but Sonic and his friends are super satisfying to control, and the levels are very dense, with multiple pathways to explore and secrets to find. I personally don't mind the other playstyles (not even Big's - I like fishing).

A great dark comedy with a unique aesthetic and premise. It has a lovely cast of mean-spirited yet likable characters and an engaging plot from beginning to end. Not quite as good as the second entry though.

Amazing remake that improves on the origonal in every way. Even has a built it port to compare the two.

Great port of a great game with the bonus of adding Magolor lore and what is essentially a condensed Mario Party game but with Kirby characters.

Was having a great time until I realized I actually had to get good at Puyo-Puyo. Has gotten me interested in the series as a whole though, and Tetris obviously speaks for itself. The blending of the two games works suprisingly well.
