Just as enjoyable as the first, though I do hope the next Zelda game strays from the BotW theming and style a bit more lest it become overdone.
A fun addition to the series that brings back a lot of old characters, with some very enjoyable classic gameplay. Lots of content, too.
I do miss the expressiveness of the older sprites from the arcade titles, but it's still pretty well-done visually and I believe the character are animated using some sort of 3D model or rig-based thing, which would explain why. Still, it would be nice to see some of that animation style make a comeback in a future game.
I also missed the "Chain Reaction" mechanic from Puzzle Bobble 4 and the arcade Super Puzzle Bobble, kind of wish that had made a return as well.
Overall, a fun time and worthy addition to the series.

1992
Job system baby!!!!!!!!!
Definitely not as bad as people make it out to be, but overall it feels kind of lacking in comparison to the earlier games in the series and a bit generic. I definitely get why people reacted the way they did, but on its own it's like, fine, but nothing more than that.
2015
Pretty dang charming and fun take on the series. Has some odd design decisions, but overall I had fun with it.
2018
Solid entry to the series, though a little TOO easy for my tastes at times. Still, worth your while if you like the series.
Weird, but interesting. Naoto Ohshima's character designs help it stand out and make it noteworthy, IMO.
Solid, if not a bit underwhelming in terms of roster in comparison to later titles in the series. The inclusion of original assist characters and really nice pixel backgrounds is a welcome plus.
1986
Fun, if not a bit frustrating at times. The character design is nice and I'd honestly love to see a new entry in the series a la Blaster Master Zero, especially with Sunsoft's recent return. While it's probably not going to click with people who aren't used to a lot of the more frustrating aspects of NES games, I definitely get why the game spawned a cult following in Japanese gaming circles and would love to see more done with the IP.
Very fun game, though it excels at hammering in just how difficult farming is via its gameplay.
It's more Theatrhythm, which is good in my book.
Pretty dang solid fighting game, glad this ended up getting a port and more characters.
I desperately want to see Cyber Woo and Neo Dio come back in another game
2016
With all the updates, this has probably turned out to be one of my all-time favorite entries in the series.
2022
A pretty dang good entry to the series. Flips the usual Pokémon formula on it's head in some fun ways and a lot of the new Pokémon designs are really nice.
The only major downside I found was the performance issues, which don't take away TOO much from the experience even if they're kind of annoying. I also wish some of the locations looked a bit less same-y given how big a map it is, some more set dressing could have been nice (especially the upper parts of Area Zero).
