This was my first Switch game, I got this and my Switch my freshman year of college, about a year after the Switch came out. One of the best experiences I've had beating a game, I can't remember putting it down through the main story. But when I beat it, I wasn't really motivated to collect more power moons since there are so many. Now, it's something fun for me to chip away at, even 3 years later. A personal favorite.
One for the ages, some of my earliest memories in playing video games are with this one. To me, it will always be a timeless classic, something I can go back to anytime and have fun with. A personal favorite.
This one is a lot different in how it controls, they did a good job in making the player feel the weight of the second driver. Not the greatest track selection, Wario Colosseum and DK Mountain are the only two that really stick out to me. It was still a pretty hard game to beat, but this one will always be unique and that's what keeps me coming back when I'm bored.
I've played this game on and off since release, some of my fondest memories on the 3DS are with this game. It's definitely my favorite in the series, there's so much to like about it. The gameplay, the supports, the mix between challenging classic fire emblem and fresh ideas, and the timeless characters of this game make it an all-time favorite. It features a soundtrack I've been listening to for 10 years now, and I don't know if I'll ever get tired of it. Everything about this game is the beak of its series.
2007
One of my favorite Wii games. A stellar soundtrack, enjoyable controls, and graphics that still hold up. I got 120 stars a few years back, and even over 10 years after release it is still a great experience, I'm excited to play the sequel. A personal favorite.
I think I was one of few people who got this on release, I even played the demo when that came out. I got stuck at Tibby's mom and dropped it for a few years, until recently I came back to finish it. The mini games start simple but in the end get really complex, and they can be hard if you haven't played in a while. Honestly, I think every mini game needs a tutorial because of this. This one definitely is not a pick up and play, especially late game. Even though I beat it, I still feel like I haven't experienced half of the content. It's definitely a refined Rhythm Heaven experience, I recommend it to fans of the series.
2012
A lot of people complain about the controls of this game, but I don't get it. Even as a kid I didn't have a hard time with them. I have a lot of good memories with this game, weirdly enough, I really enjoyed the online multiplayer. One of the best game localizations to date, it's worth a playthrough just for that, if nothing else. A personal favorite.
This might be the game I've put the most hours in. For a long time, I considered it my favorite game of all time. I could pick it up at any time, see my girl Sprinkle, hang out with Mitzi, and feel a little better about myself. I can play with minigames with my friends on the island, get my fortune told, or go clubbing! I still love everything about this game, and I always will. A personal favorite.
I played this game when it came out, and did another playthrough about a year ago. Even on my non-xl 3DS, I still enjoyed it. Some of my favorite Kingdom Hearts worlds are in this one, namely The Grid, and Symphony of Sorcery. The Disney stuff isn't as insufferable as other games in the series, and this is the only one to feature characters from one of the best DS RPGs of all time, TWEWY. I love flowmotion, adding verticality and speed to Sora and Riku's movements makes this one the most fun to move around in. The final boss is ass, though.
This is no doubt the best way to play Ocarina of Time, if only for how it looks. Despite being an early 3DS title, this game has one of the best graphical styles on the system. I have a lot of fond memories with this game, and after 3 playthroughs since release, I can say it is one of my favorite 3DS games. A personal favorite.
2018
One of the few games I couldn't put down until I beat. Engaging characters, funny writing, outstanding gameplay, that worm feeling you get when you help someone, this game has it all! A great feel-good experience on the switch that anyone can enjoy. A personal favorite.
2013
My favorite Wii U game, and some of the most excitement I've had for a game's release. This game has everything I wanted in it, smooth controls, beautiful graphics, and loads of bonus content, including an extra character and 3 new worlds. One of the best multiplayer experiences I've ever had, me and my friend going for Champion's Road over and over until we finally got it. A personal favorite.
My favorite in the series, and one of my favorite DS games. I love how everything looks, I still think the writing is funny, and the gameplay is creative and engaging. I have some really good memories playing this game when it came out, and I still think it's worth playing today. A personal favorite.
2005
I don't remember playing this one much as a kid, but when it came out on the e-shop I got it and completed it. As a Mario Kart game, it's kind of clunky, but the rigid, early DS graphics have some charm. Some of my favorite tracks are in this one, Airship Fortress, Wario Stadium, and Delfino Square, to name a few. The mission mode is something I wish they would bring back, even if it is just reused assets from Super Mario 64 DS, a lot of Mario DS games did that, so I won't hold that against it. Plus, they did something creative with it, so creative, in fact, they apparently can't do it a second time.
This was the version I got when it came out, probably because it was Japanese themed. Even in the hype I thought it was kind of boring, especially compared to it's counterpart. A boring plot, and some of the worst siblings, Takumi, and just a flat cast in general, make this one the inferior version.
