why the fuck did they make this

This is the spiritual predecessor to dark souls, and you can really see it through it's creative decisions. Hidetaka Miyazati from FromSoftware actually a part of the development team during it's early stages before leaving the company to start FromSoftware.

the mario kart 7 before mario kart 7

unironically one of the best mario games I've played

it's simply the best mario party out there

2008

my experience with this game was as follows; decide to play it on my ds cause "this time will be when I figure out what the hell is going on". spend one hour fucking around while making no progress and then don't touch it for a year or two and then repeat.

The atmosphere of this game is unparalleled to anything else. staying up until 10pm on a school night slinging my wiimote was a magical moment I will never be able to experience again.

honestly it's a 4/5 for me, but I made it 5/5 because of how they released a game that inadvertently crushed any prospect of a future 2d mario in the style of new super mario bros. why would I pay $60 for a new mario game if "mariofan982" from Illinois can post twice the amount of content (albeit not good content) and offer that same experience?

this game is actually pretty fun when you don't have someone bitching about how "its just gone downhill from here 🤓"

this game is fucking fun, I don't really care too much for the Bowser's Fury part though

its like what miyamoto said, "a delayed game is eventually good, but trans girl wielding a yo yo is peak game design".

The only fighting game I've played is smash bros, so I went into this game completely clueless only to find out that it is some of the most fun I've had in a game for a long time. I don't know what it is, but each match is exhilarating!!! I've had games where I completely wreck the other player and then games where they fucking obliterate me, and the whole time I am just smiling. Something about this game is just so addictive, I'm excited to maybe get an actual pc so I dont have to use the potato mod and stare at pixels lmao. Definitely gonna keep playing this for the foreseeable future
