I thought I would hate this one for the lack of the national dex, but it's not too bad, there's plenty of new content that makes it more fun. I really like the wild area, and dynamax is an interesting compromise between mega Pokemon and Z moves. I mean, I don't think Z moves have a place in Pokemon to begin with, and would much rather have had megas come back, but oh well. Max raids get old, but I appreciate them for making good IVs and hidden abilities easier to get, even if you have to use exploits. I'm excited for what the expansions will bring.
Great remake, got a lot right. I played this the night it came out and thoroughly enjoyed it. The soundtrack wasn't what I'd hoped it would be, but that doesn't bring the game down. I adore how this game looks, and it retains all of the charm it had on the Nintendo 64, but it looks good this time.
Best Jojo game, one of my favorite fighting games. This game was made for fans, it's a perfectly crafted love letter. My only gripe is that there are THREE characters from Steel Ball Run, even though it had already ended, and was standing as the longest running Jojo part. I can only hope for another game like this.

Excellent track selection, amazing soundtrack. The Rainbow Road SNES track is one of my favorite tracks and songs in Mario Kart. There is a good amount of content to work toward on your own, and the online works well. Music Park, Shy Guy Bazaar, and a great variety of retro courses make this my favorite Mario Kart entry. A personal favorite.
The best soundtrack of any animal crossing game. I think the simple models and sprites add to the charm of this one. I would say Wild World is able to remain distinct from the rest of the entries in the series thanks to it's unique features and holidays. While not my favorite, I would say this entry is still worth taking a look at.
People like this game, I'm not huge on it. To me, it just feels like Smash 4.5. I thought I would be excited for the new content, but it just didn't last. World of Light is bullshit. It's kinda sad that this is likely to be the last entry of the series, or at least Sakurai's last entry. At least I can play as Piranha Plant.

I have played Mario's Picross and the Japan-only Mario's Picross 2, and they have provided me with hours of fun. Definitely worth the like $5.00 it is. For the love of god play Mario's Picross if you haven't.
I got the special demo for this game. In retrospect, I wish I sold the code on ebay for like $1000. My best memories with this game are playing it with my friends on the bus every morning on the way to and from school. I think I've put over 300 hours in the 3DS version alone, it's definitely my preferred version. Some of my best memories in high school were with this game. A personal favorite.
Every inch of this game has love put into it, what else is there to say.
2007
A lot of people don't like this game because it's a platformer, but I think it's just as good as the other Paper Mario games. The writing, the storytelling, the characters, the gameplay, this game is so well crafted. If you've written this one off for being different from it's prequels, I urge you to give it a chance, you wont regret it.
An milestone for Pokemon. The 4th generation games as a whole represent a peak in overall game quality for me. Even though this game doesn't hold up well, it's an important first first step in Pokemon's glory days, and introduced a lot of mainstays to the series, online play, the physical/special split, the day/night cycle, etc. While this game is now outclassed by Platinum in every way, it's still worth recognizing for everything it has done for the series.
2008
My favorite Rhythm Heaven. This one has my favorite mini-games, and the touch screen gameplay is used in so many different ways, that it doesn't get old. There's plenty of content, so the experience lasts. If you've never played a Rhythm Heaven game, I recommend this one. A personal favorite.
2016
It's a great game with some flaws. Despite that, it's revolutionary for Persona, just because of how many new features it introduced, and how many new fans it brought into the series. Persona 5 was well worth the wait, but in my opinion, this game has the worst ending of the modern Persona games. Now that Royal is out, there is no reason to play this over that.
One of two five-star Pokemon games. Game Freak WISHES they could make another game as good as this one. This game stands as one of the best game remakes out there, even 11 years later. A personal favorite.
2003
I have great memories of playing this game as a kid. I loved playing as all of the different teams, and seeing how differently each team operated. It is a little clunky, bit the levels are charming and the character interactions are entertaining. There is reason to play this game if you're a sonic fan, but if you are, then you probably already have.
