Kid Icarus: Uprising
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.
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.
Super Mario Odyssey
2017
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.
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.
