1993
A fun little parody to play during Halloween. Great graphics, fun upbeat music, and entertaining horror parodies throughout. A little more challenging than it would let on but the password system helps out a lot with this.
1991
A phenomenal entry in the series. Amazing atmosphere, a beautiful, more ambient soundtrack, and phenomenal controls. Also one of the easier Castlevania games, so a great entry point for newcomers.
Fun beat-em-up that's a must-play with a friend in the arcade.
2006
One of my favorite games. Amazing story, great sprite-work, a wonderful soundtrack, and a fun rythmn-based combo mechanic. Fuck the Jealous Bass though.
Despite the flack that Gen 1 gets for its perceived brokenness, this game holds up pretty well. As long as you prepare a team in advance and have a game plan set, it's not overly difficult, and the extra additions that Yellow brought, as minor as they are, made the experience a lot more fulfilling.
1996
One of my favorite games of all time. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that the remake is superior in nearly every way, especially in the graphics department.
One of the best Kirby games out there. Great music, fun abilities, and some pretty difficult challenge stages.
Still one of the best games in the series. The simple control scheme and lack of gimmicks make this a fun entry to come back to and perfect.
2008
Amazing rhythm game. Perfect way of teaching basic rhythmic skills to amateurs as well as a fun game to perfect.
1994
Super comfy game with a GOAT soundtrack, beautiful environments, and amazing controls. A smooth difficulty curve keeps it from overstaying its welcome and makes it a blast to come back to.
2023
A great return to form for the WarioWare series. This is basically a spiritual successor to Smooth Moves and fills those shoes very well by using the Joy-Cons to their fullest ability. A lot less content than Get It Together and Gold, but right in line with the rest of the more gimmick-centered entries of the series.
One of the best Kirby games out there. Typical of other 2.5D entires in this era, but with a shocking story, wonderful world to explore, and a hard-as-shit True Arena.
1990
One of the best games on the NES. Great beat 'em up with light RPG mechanics that is surprisingly pretty manageable in terms of difficulty.
Great Mario game on the Game Boy with tight controls, catchy music, and a unique set of worlds to explore. It's a little on the short side but makes for a fun couple of evenings.
2020
One of the best Pokemon games I've played despite being fanmade. The sprite work for all of the designs is consistently well done and hilarious, and all of the Pokemon are designed to have at least decent stats and move pools. The routes are true gauntlets full of plenty of trainers to keep your team in shape. The added quality-of-life improvements, such as the EXP share and revisions to HMs, all make the game feel very fair, despite its steep difficulty curve. It will test you in a way no official game does, but it is completely doable and well worth the time.
