The best Mario Kart ever brought down by a bafflingly bad battle mode. We're talking days before shipping someone went "ah shoot we forgot battle mode" and made it in an afternoon. Grateful to MK8 Deluxe for righting that wrong.
I don't know where else to brag about this but I got all the gold items and it took a long time so I'm putting it here. Thank you in advance for your praise.

Wind Waker is part masterpiece, part open world slog. The open world is empty and getting around it sucks.
I know this is an unpopular opinion but boats in video games suck, guys. Moving slowly on a vessel with a massive turn radius that is constantly at the mercy of the wind just is not fun.
Everything else in this game rules, though.

Link Between Worlds is perfect and is quite possibly my favorite 2D Zelda. I know the item "rental" system is a bit contentious but I really liked the freedom it gave you to basically tackle the game in whatever way you pleased.
Hard to believe it's been over a decade since the last original 2D Zelda game and who knows if we ever get one of these again.

Initially, 3D World feels like a step back from the extremely creative and fantastical Mario Galaxy. SM 3D World reigns it in with more contained, straightforward levels. However I'd argue that that constraint helps to focus the game into a truly perfect 3D platformer, beginning to end. (Even though the final challenge level is deranged)

Never played OG Ruby and Sapphire so this was my first time experiencing them. Pretty solid games overall with some neat quality-of-life features like the local Pokedex info so you could see if you've caught all the Pokemon within a route.
I don't know why but the game didn't really stick with me much. It felt less exciting after playing Pokemon X.
