BACKER
2019
I'm so mad at myself for not playing this sooner, but so happy I eventually did. The definition of perfection has been blank all this time...until now.
Ahh, my first Pokemon game. I didn't comprehend how fucking SLOW it was then, but I sure do now!
2007
Holy nostalgia. I used to play this so much on car rides as a kid, and going back to it today was so bizarre to see it after all these years. I haven't thought about star pipes or hex coins in ages!
Never been a huge Mario Party fan but I guess this is my favorite one, which is weird since it's a handheld spinoff.

I'll keep screaming "BRING BACK MISSION MODE" from the rooftops til the day I die.

I used to think I was the hottest shit for saying I threw my Wii remote at the tv playing bowling for the first time at a friends house. Like I was SO bad ass for almost damaging their property.
This game is good. The sky is blue. I'm an idiot.

Had to wash the taste of bad Star Fox game (Star Fox Zero) out with good Star Fox game (this).
My true childhood Mario Kart, if I don't count Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii and the Mario Kart GP Arcade games I would sometimes get to play (all of which are probably better).
I know everyone says Double Dash is the one Mario Kart that's worth going back to if you don't want to just play Mario Kart 8, but I disagree. Sure this thing is pretty old school, but it controls and looks so different than any other Mario Kart besides the original. The Super Circuit tracks are mostly really fun (fuck Snowland for them migraines tho) and getting all the Super Mario Kart tracks is a sick bonus. It's truly fun to get good at this game, as it feels so much more skill based than some of the newer titles.
I never got passed a few cups on 50cc when I was a little kid, so I'm glad I sunk like 9 hours into this to mostly complete it now. Overall it was worth it.
But man, the Choco Island tracks don't DESERVE the Sunset Wilds background and it's so SADDDD

Peppy, how do you expect me to "do a barrel roll" when it controls like ASS?
I'd love this game if it weren't for the fact that I hate it. I've put about 20 hours into it since it launched in 2016 and still haven't seen it's ending. I've "gotten used to" the controls, but just getting used to something is different from liking it. They're just awful. Plus the game doesn't look that impressive visually and the level design is so-so. I have war flashbacks to the spider-mech boss on Fichina. They absolutely BUTCHERED all range mode.
It only gets 2 stars because of the original voice actors and how sometimes, RARELY, you can get into a flow state with looking up and down from the tv to the gamepad.
But my neck still hurts, and so does my heart.
Good riddance Star Fox Zero.

Have you ever played Cruis'n Blast? Maybe not, but you've definitely had junk food before, and that's basically the same thing.

Had to use a guide to beat this (obviously) and ohhh my god even that was a challenge. Whoever wrote IGN's guide must've written one draft and said "yeah this is fine" cause wow that was confusing as hell.
But the game's okay I guess.

Happy Mario Day.
Sorry Mario World fans, this will always be the BEST classic 2D mario game, and Advance 4 is an excellent port.
But man FUCK that title. Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3. Bro that is like two steps away from a Kingdom Hearts title.

"When I look at the box, this isn't pinball? But then I play the game, and this IS pinball! You SNAKES!"

Also this game is insane for making the flippers invisible after 100,000.

Nintendo notified me that I could play FC24 for free this week. So naturally I played this instead.

Reminded me of those "hardest game in the world" games I used to play in middle school on my shitty school-owned chrome book. Oh, nostalgia. Oh, pain.
