Very disappointing for the first console mainline pokemon game. I know the comparison is overdone but the colosseum games came out years ago and look far better and play far better than this game does on a modern system. Its very obvious the game was rushed with cut pokemon, awful animations, and a nonexistent story. The progression in this game feels like a straight line that sometimes splits its about as boring and linear as pokemon gets. Its a shame a series as big as pokemon had a fall this hard.

By far one of my most hated games due to the anticipation built up beforehand and the damage it has done to sonic as a whole, the game doesnt understand its characters with everyone besides the main 3 feeling useless especially when characters like tails, knuckles, omega, etc have had huge adventures in their own right along with character development that this game chooses to ignore, the levels themselves arnt even any fun the designs are insanely boring in modern stages which wouldnt matter because the levels end before you realize it while the classic stages are so awful to control even when generations nailed classic before this, the story is awful like every story in this era but somehow worse its like they wanted to make a adventure era story but forgot to make a villian with an interesting motive (not that it matters since they recycle the same final boss from the previous 2 games for some god knows reason) along with actual pacing and charming dialogue. The only redeeming part of this game is the avatar however that mechanic as a whole feels extremely underwhelming with all species looking the exact same minus the head with customization barely existing outside of cosmetics. Look if you want to play forces just watch paint dry youd get the same experience.

Pikmin 2 manages to take everything from 1 and improve on it from the graphics to the gameplay to the pikmin themselves everything is improved. While i understand many dislike the cave system and hate the removal of the time limit i see 1 and 2 as two different gameplay styles for the series they both set out to do different things and succeed in my eyes, so while it changed alot i dont fault it for that as its not trying to be pikmin 1. With that being said the insanity of the electric hazard and how broken purple pikmin are does make the game a bit messy though regardless of that i still consider it a great game and a worth any fan’s time.

Fun quirky little rpg that caught my heart and attention back when it came out in the west. Nothing can really explain miitopia accurately its a rollercoaster of a game where you go from fighting twerking turkeys with mouths on their ass to a three headed dog with your friend’s faces on it. The best part of this game however is the freedom you have to add whoever you want to add; friends? Sure. family? Why not. Fictional characters? Go wild. Theres really no end to the crazy scenarios you can make which is further boosted by a fun and rewarding combat system. Of course however theres little reason to go back to this version as the switch release maintains everything great about this game and adds to it though that doesnt subtract from what this version started.
