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.
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.

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.
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.
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.

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.

There's a lot more to this game that meets the eye. It can feel like you've run out of stuff to do when you get everything on the island, but then you can spend time improving your mii's apartments and hooking them up. This isn't a game you can play forever, but the writing is really good, and miis are inherently funny, so it's still entertaining. Also Nintendo promised same sex couples with the next one.

This one is by far the hardest to beat. Jesus Christ it's nearly impossible to finish ONE Grand Prix without losing 2 out of 4 races to blue shells or POW blocks. Some of the best Mario Kart tracks are in this one though, like Coconut Mall, Mushroom Gorge, and Koopa Cape. This is the last Mario Kart game where you unlock characters and karts through certain objectives, which gives you plenty to do. The most dumb fun Mario Kart game.
2017
Nintendo really thought this one was worth releasing a second time, 3 years later, with the addition of some characters and karts. I played the shit out of Mario Kart 8 on the Wii U, and I was ready for a new game on the switch, but oh well. I have a grudge against this game.
2014
This is the Mario kart I've put the most time in, but that doesn't make it my favorite. The track selection is the best part about this entry, but it doesn't have much else to call its own. I do miss unlocking characters and karts through objectives, but Mario Kart Wii was the last instance of that. I like what this one is, I'm just ready for a new one.
2011
This game definitely did what it set out to do, and nothing more, and that was to make a new 3D Mario experience on a handheld. This was my first 3DS game, and I played straight through it the day I got it, like most people. Mario is fun to play as, and the levels are their own fun little toy box. Overall it's a simple, short experience.
A great Zelda experience. I 100% completed this game over winter break one year, and it was a genuine blast. The gameplay is smooth, the colors are vibrant, and the world is well laid out. None of the dungeons in this one were too bad, I really enjoyed most of them, my favorite being the Dark Palace. There's just the right amount of content in this one, there aren't too many maimai to collect, and since they upgrade your tools you have a reason to hunt for them. One of the better Zelda games.
2002
This one's really hard. I was able to beat Corona Mountain, but I still have about 15 shines left BEFORE the blue coins. It's still a great experience, though. Just not really a game you can sit down with for a while, it gets really frustrating after repeated attempts. It also doesn't help that the camera is complete garbage in some sections, and Mario can be pretty clunky at times. I recommend taking this one a shine a day.
2006
The best Tetris game, I love everything about it. The only Tetris game I've played enough to get a score of over 1,000,000 in marathon mode, and that's before the other game modes. No reason to play the others.
This is probably the most excited I've been to play a game in a long time. That being said, I just can't get into it. I think it's because this game is a lot more sandbox-like since you can place furniture outside and landscape. But I'm not really the type to enjoy those features, so I guess I felt like this game didn't add much for me. However, I'm thinking my mind will change when I have more free time and I can put more thought into it, so for now, this review is tentative.
