This sure is Super Mario Bros. 2 on the go, complete with voice lines and a new boss fight. Unless you really like Super Mario Bros. 2, I don't think this is gonna be worth your time.

Mom said I'd break the GameCube if I kept tilting it around like that. She was wrong. I broke the GameCube AND the TV!
Well, this sure is a bad licensed minigame collection based on a property nobody was caring about by the time this game came out. I honestly can't tell you how I wound up with a copy of this one. All I can say is make sure it doesn't happen to you.
The best names of characters of all time.

A unique interesting homage to older games and the culture of the time. Aside from the fun NES-inspired games included here, you also get instruction manuals for each game, as well as a monthly magazine detailing secrets, cheat codes, and upcoming releases. It's an exciting playthrough that makes you yearn for simpler times.

This is a really cool Third-Person Action/Shooter that really doesn't want you to be left-handed when you play it. (Hi I'm left-handed my hands still hurt from playing this game years ago)
The gameplay feels great (when it isn't trying to kill your hands), the writing is witty and fun, the music is amazing, and the multiplayer is surprisingly engaging.
Please, Nintendo. Just a crumb of PortThisToAModernPlatform

For Pokémon Rumble fans, this sequel to the WiiWare original feels like it takes the concepts of that game and expands on them immensely. A meatier plot, more stages, a huge world to explore, and more await you in this game. The gameplay is the same from the original, but having access to more Pokémon and new moves helps give this game some extra life. I think it's definitely worth a play through!

Very happy to be a part of the "I did not have a traumatic experience while playing Kirby's Pinball Land" club.
The game is fine for a Pinball game. Nothing too crazy.

The soundtrack is kinda stinky, but this is a pretty good Picross game. If you like those kinds of puzzles, you'll enjoy this game.
This game is bizarre. It's a by-the-numbers JRPG for the most part. The music's pretty good, also. However, Working Designs has once again provided a highly questionable localization, creating one of the most bizarrely sexist dialogue choices I have ever seen in a commercial product. The rest of the localization is pretty rough, also. It's playable, but you'll be groaning a lot throughout your playthrough. If you can stomach some questionable writing, you might have an okay time with this one.

This game is a guilty pleasure of mine. Despite that, it's full of problems. Combat doesn't feel great. The collectables being nudes of your girlfriend feels weird. There aren't many glory kills and they get repetitive fast. One of those glory kills is fisting an enemy's anus. A lot of the stage design is uninspired. The 2D sections feel terrible to play. There's enemies that can kill you in one hit by decapitating you. The loading times for when you die are absurdly long. There's a lot against this game.
Despite all of that, I still enjoy it. I like the interactions between Rick and the Mask (Voiced by Disney's Pete). I liked unlocking the original trilogy as a bonus. It has the greatest "#$%@ you" dropped in 7th gen, beating out the one in DmC: Devil May Cry by a wide margin.
Playing Splatterhouse is like ordering Domino's: It's not going to be great to get through. It'll probably find some way to haunt you. You're probably going to go back for more, despite that.

Amazing love letter to the Sonic franchise. Its only crime is being too short.
Comic Jumper is a fun run-and-gun that parodies comics from all eras, as well as manga. It's been a long time since this game released, so the jokes may not hold up today, but the gameplay is decent enough to make it a fun romp.
Wild how the 7th gen port of this isn't available to buy anymore. This game is fun, especially with friends. The port it got did some cool stuff, too. There were modes that limited your quarters. You could play the different regional versions. It had online multiplayer that was dead because I was the only person who bought this port. I wish this game at least got ported to 8th gen consoles, so I didn't have to boot up my 360 to access this.

People like to lie and say this game is great or a hidden gem and I can't see eye-to-eye with them, and I like Sonic 3D Blast.
I think the level design is needlessly maze-like in places and in others it feels disjointed and off. The time travel mechanic is cool, but you can only get it to activate under specific scenarios, making it easy to get on a path that gives you consistent speed for it only to lose it because you hit a weird part of the stage that ate your speed. The limited "Past" and "Future" signs in each stage adds to this problem, making it so you only get so many chances to check out a different time for a stage. The bonus stages to get Time Stones are awkward to play. The boss fights are all weird and either end in seconds or drag for minutes.
If you genuinely like this game, good for you. I will never be able to see things from your perspective on this. At the very least, we can agree that the soundtracks for this game are pretty fire. Music is subjective as Hell, so I won't start a debate on which soundtrack is better, but I do prefer JP.
