Ok in short bursts, honestly surprised Nintendo hasn't made a Warioware game for smartphones as it'd fit perfectly.

I much prefer the artstyle of Super Mario Bros. 3, the gameplay is fine but I'd rather play a different Mario game.

I love Super Mario Bros. 3 but much prefer the artstyle of the NES version, I never liked the Super Mario World artstyle very much.

Controls fell slippery, nowhere near as tight as the other games.

Super Mario Kart: Shrek Edition

Solid Zelda title, just not personally a fan of topdown Zelda.

I really do like the spritework and OST right off the bat, I just can't bring myself to actual push through the gameplay. The combo system between characters is pretty interesting, but the combat overall is you're typical Square Enix menu scroller comabt.

I really do enjoy the OST & aesthetics from Square Enix games, but the gameplay for most of their games fails to engage me & seal the deal.

The game itself is more of a "tech demo" to showcase the capabilities of the DS back when it first dropped. Lack of proper analog support really kills the experience compared to the N64 version, which is unfortunate because the updated visuals & characters are a nice bonus on top of what SM64 originally brought to the table.

Play the N64 version or if you can mod in analog support do that.

Mid 2D Sonic game, pretty much any 2D Sonic game after the Genesis is gonna be mid before Sonic Mania.

Builds on top of the gameplay improvements from Shadows of Almia by adding "signs", which are basically allows you to summon special Pokemon in & out of battle. This makes traversing the overworld less of a pain as you don't have to keep backtracking to replace certain Pokemon to pass hazards. Solid spinoff with unique gameplay experience.

Fun characters & engaging story with plenty of personality, but I'd rather just watch a playthrough rather than interact with a visual novel.

Gameplay makes creative use of the touchscreen like how the Wii version of Okami used the Wii remote, but lack of analog controls makes the overall experience rather dull.

Halfway decent 2D fighter with abysmal 3D graphics, only covers up to the end of the Sasuke reunion.

Like Super Mario 64 DS this is more of a showcase title to flex the capabilities of the DS at the time, plays fine with the D-Pad but no analog controls leaves much to be desired.
