games i played as a kid and feel weird about reviewing now

as an 8 y/o with a 3ds i don't think i was examining these games with a fair critical eye. might revisit some of these but for the most part i just want to note them somewhere. mostly an excuse to listen to the activity log theme tbh

New Super Mario Bros. 2

Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
Mario & Luigi: Dream Team
tried to revisit this one last year and got stuck on one of the meat minibosses. i was like 10hrs in this game fucks.

i remember being scared shitless by the purple fountain on the mountain. why was that in the game. fuck. anyway i remember being stuck on the mt. pajamaja fight for ages. also the last two bosses were too tricky for me so i had to get my friend to do them. antasma was fuckin cool though! love me an edgy guy
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
this was THE pokemon game of my youth. i still remember saving up to get it. pokemon is def not my jam nowadays but i have fond memories of playing this one with friends, wandering through mauville while mashing the wonder trade button.

actually now that i think about it i never finished the postgame. something about not being aware that deoxys was shiny locked
Pokémon Moon
Pokémon Moon
i really don't remember anything about this one. i like alolan muk i think but that's about it
Pokémon Y

Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World
Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World
i do not remember much of this. i rewatched a compilation of all the little movies a bit ago? i know i got this and tomodachi life on the same birthday. i feel like out of the two of them i'd probably get bored with this one if i went back to it
Kirby Triple Deluxe

bought this one from a friend who'd sold his wii u and gotten a switch since it was a while before i'd get mine. he gave me the manual and everything. i think that's still kicking around my house despite how the game is long gone. it was always really cool to me to flip through: so many fun ideas to mess with. oh yeah the game was cool too
