I originally started this game through the demo since your progress can be carried over to the full game. I wasn't expecting much but I'm overall satisfied with the game. This is a fun dungeon crawler that's simple but has great mechanics like crafting weapons and materials. The seven characters you play as all have their own abilities but I stuck with the Archer for the final area since he is able to keep a good distance from enemies while doing massive damage. I like how the story is set up and gives you enough incentive to find the king and why he took the words away from people. If I have any complaints about this game is that the 7 characters you play as don't leave an impression. While they're cursed and can't talk, I feel like they could've shown more characterization some other way. They don't even have actual names which is unfortunate. This game is extremely replayable and for 50 bucks, I say it was worth the purchase!

I got 422 stars while getting all stars in 8 games (including Remix 1). You need 759 stars (rainbow) to unlock all levels and that may be something I do in the future but I just wanted to play some of it since I didn't play much of it as a kid. If you grew up with NES games then I'm sure the challenges won't be anything special or hard to complete but as someone who's only familiar with the Mario games, some of these challenges are difficult to complete, let alone get 3 stars. This version is a handful of challenges pulled from NES Remix 1 and 2 from the Wii U so it may be best to get those versions for the full experience. While I do like some of the remix challenges, this is a very hard game overall but I understand why it's a good game for some people. I would like to see Nintendo do a SNES Remix!

If you want to use a Pikachu on old school Pokémon, then play Yellow. If not, play Red/Green/Blue. I do like the fact that you are able to get all 3 starters. The game is the same as R/G/B, but with the Color improvements you have colors that best represent Pokemon, towns & routes, and health bars that indicate how badly damaged your Pokémon is. I had a full team by the time I got 4 Gym Badges and fought Team Rocket in Saffron City and my Pokémon were pretty under leveled for the next Gym Leaders so I spent most of my time leveling up my team battling wild Pokémon. Gary's strongest Pokémon is level 65 and my team were 57-59 and I was able to win without using any items. This is classic Pokémon so if you want to play this game then it's more than likely you are already a Pokémon fan so regardless of all the missing quality of life features present in new games, this is still one of the best Gameboy/Color games you'll experience. I have the physical cartridge but decided to play on my 3DS for the best screen, rechargeable battery life, and the ability to bring Pokémon from the game to Bank and then to Home.

Honestly, I'm not a fan when they spawn in more enemies each turn for just about every map. Like, do it for one map and do it for 1 or 2 turns. It got old and just made the DLC a drag to get through. The story is honestly whatever. There's a lot of talking and it kind of got me uninterested in what was going on. The 2 new characters are okay but I liked how you can use the other Four Hounds (Winds in this case) and unlock them for the main story. This was kind of underwhelming DLC overall, but if you want more characters and bracelets then this DLC is cool for that, I guess.
