In 9th grade I broke my index finger playing dodgeball. I did catch the ball that broke my finger. I went to the doctor a month later (my family thought it was jammed) and they explained I had to have surgery. We bought this game for my recovery, and I played it occasionally for 4 more years. Every time I played I thought about my broken finger. I completed the fish in the museum, which was my pride and joy.
My family got this game for Christmas. Every day of that Christmas break we woke up to my mom playing the game; she woke up early every day to be able to play it before us. She hadn't played many games since Super Mario World and Super Mario 64, and this was the game that got her to play again. She now has nearly 400 hours logged in Animal Crossing New Horizons.
This would be a 5 star game except the barrel rocket levels suck.

I love Pokemon Pearl. I played it hidden behind my AP World History textbook instead of studying from 2009-2010 (I got a 4 on the AP test, thank you very much). I must be a hater because Platinum did not do it for me in the same way. This game came at a time when I felt like revisiting gen 4, and it wasn't as impactful as Pearl was to me. I'm reluctant to say that I think Pearl is a better game, but I really did enjoy it more!
I played all of this game at my university during my last semester. It was the first time and probably last time I'll pay the game. It was a bad semester and a mediocre game; like Super Mario World but not as good!
This was my first GBA game. My dad bought it (and a GBA) when we were moving from Alaska to Texas. It was really kind of him, and I love this game. I beat it 100% multiple times, and still pick it up from time to time.
I bought a Nintendo Switch for this game. I preordered the special Let's Go yellow/brown Pokemon Switch, and then cancelled my preorder to play Switch before this game. Fall 2018 was the worst semester of my life: my wife and I moved, I worked 30-50 hours/week on top of 12 credit hours, I broke my foot, and I was volunteered on a student journal. Hanging with Eevee and watching Venusaur run behind the trainer helped get me through the worse part of the semester.
Catching Pokemon sucks, and is especially bad in the last half when ultra balls don't work.

The DS version of this game is a goofy hotel sim management game. It's full of Sims humor and is actually not a bad game?????? It has aliens if you manipulate time and a tiny desert that is supposed to feel large.

This game is almost everything that's good about video games. It's like the best of the Yakuza mini games but with motion controls.
Link rides a boat in this one, which is better than walking or riding a Nintendo 64 horse.

A few days after returning from a trip to the Iberian Peninsula I got a huge migraine and had to take a day off of work. Nothing will make you feel more like a knob than taking 2 weeks off work, working a few days, and then taking a sick day. I felt like a knob. In the afternoon I felt a lot better, so I busted out the NES Classic and played Super Mario Bros 3 for the first time. I've played it a few times since, and it's a good game! 0.5 stars removed because I don't like the run to Bowser facing the entire army. It's not very fun to me!

I played both the Wii and DS versions of this game. Both are good, both are weird.
The DS version comes close to the precision of the console version. It's weird and I'm glad that it exists.
The Wii version answers the quesion: "What if the game Skate, but with motion controls?"

I love Ultimate. This was the game that got me into the FGC. I competed in this game for a few months, and continue to play with friends and my little brother. When I played in tournaments I played against a Captain Falcon player who was, ostensibly, better than me. Now I don't want to be mean, most Smash players in my experience were nice. But this guy did not want to talk or have fun. He wasn't there to make friends. He had snot running down his nose and smelled like how Smash players are supposed to smell, but usually don't in real life. But this guy did. He 3-stocked my in the first round. 0-1 for me. The second game, I cheesed him. I spammed Ike's up special. He couldn't handle it. When he had 1 stock left and I had 2 I up specialed, ko-ing him and losing one stock. It's a disrespectful way to end a match, but this guy didn't even fist bump me. He was mad. I beat him in the next round as well, even though he was better than me. He ripped his controller out of the console and left. I stopped going to events after this because I had finals, and life just got in the way.
I still play frequently with my little brother. Squad Strike is the best mode in the game and if that were the competitive format I would still compete.
My problems with the game are the input buffer and lack of rollback netcode. This game needs rollback netcode because it is a chore to play online.

This is the best open world game of all time. It ruined the genre for me. I've tried other open world games—Grand Theft Auto IV, Oblivion, Skyrim, Marvel's Spider-man, Horizon Zero Dawn—and none of them even come close to this game. This game is alien. The world feels alive. Everything is hostile. There's depth to every character. The factions are interesting. Learning as much as possible through the in-game resources is not only rewarded, but how to play the game. I love this game with my whole heart and will always love it. There will never be anything like it ever again.

I bought this game when I bought my 3ds and Ocarina of Time 3d. Target had a "Buy a 3ds and a 3ds game and get one 3ds game free" sale. This was the day the 3ds price lowered, so I spend a little over $200 for a 3ds, a remake of one of the best games of all time, and Ocarina of Time 3d.
This is one of the best games of all time. I still think the N64 version is better. This one is pretty good though.

Everything good about the Dragon Quest series is packed into Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition. Professional Video Game Expert Tim Rogers has a much better official review of the game that people should check out, he is much smarter than me and more eloquent.
I loved turning down the volume (to get rid of the music) and watching movies while I played this game. I played the Midas tough gold dungeon while watching the movie Raw. I only speak English and Spanish, not French, so I was able to watch a movie with subtitles and play this game at the same time, and I thoroughly enjoyed both.
I have a few problems with act 3, I think it removes the impact of some of the more touching moments of act 2, but that's a minor complaint of such a long game.
