2008
Mario Kart Wii is almost a true gem. Its multiplayer is top notch, its courses are very memorable and it is very unpredictable. The motion controls are good, but not impecable, but you can play it without Wii Remotes. I played it a lot with my whole family.

This is almost the definitive Mario Kart experience. It has everything Wii had, but better and more beautiful. The problem is that it becomes a little bit bland it some of its courses... and the Battle Mode is just a joke. That aside, the graphics, gameplay and soundtrack are just too good. It is one of the best Wii U games. But damn those 200 Koopalings in the character selection screen.
Why different skin of Peach and Mario? Why not new original characters? But okay, Link and the Hyrule course makes it worth it.
I didn't like the Animal Crossing stages and characters that much, but the other tracks are very good. It passes.
This game is plain mediocre. It exists. And it is kind of bad.
2005
I tried to start it, but there's almost to no fun involved. How did it get a sequel? It is boring and difficult to get around the controls.
2019
I liked it a lot, especially coming from a homebrew game. The creator went so far as creating 3D models of 2D enemies from the original Super Mario Land on Blender so he could make 2D sprites and put in the game. I played the first revision, and it had too much noise (Mario screams everytime he jumps, it doesn't work well with 2D games). The multiplayer is good and it doesn't hurt. It is incredible how someone could do this much for a SNES game, and it is not even a ROM hack! If you want to play Super Mario Land, play this one. Mario controls a little weird, but we start to get the hang of it with time, and it still controls better than the original. It is better than the Game Boy version.
The game is pretty short, though, but it is understandable, as it is a recreation, and the original is also short.

This is a good game, but it is a bit bland. It has a competitive gameplay. It has good visuals, but being on the Virtual Boy hurts it, as it is black and red, it hurts the eyes. It is probably the best on the Virtual Boy, but that's not saying much. But it certainly deseved a better fame.
1998
F-Zero X is so satifying and looks so good for a Nintendo 64 game that it is incredible. I really like the speed and the gameplay, but the game is just too difficult for me to complete it without save states.
1992
At the time, this game was astounding. I loved playing it as a kid. As time passed, it showed its flaws. It has stiff and slippery controls, repetitive visuals and themes, courses are very similar... but still, it is a product of its time. It was great back then, and its multiplayer was so much fun.
2004
I liked this version of the game. It is not better than the original, but has some new additions that make it very good to play. What makes it difficult to grasp are the controls: this game clearly wasn't meant to be played with a D-Pad (and touchscreen doesn't work well). I played it in the Wii U, so the analog stick worked a little better, but it was still locked in eight directions, like a simulation of a D-Pad, not really analog. I'd love to see this game with better graphics and analog controls re-released in another platform.
2000
I played it for some time, but sadly couldn't understand much of the dialogue. It is a beautiful game for the Nintendo 64, and has a nice funny looking aesthetic. The problem is the framerate... the game is too slow, getting to under 20 FPS constantly, especially with a big city. I'd like to play more of it, though, but no one is willing to translate it...
2018
It is a good tech demo for what can be done with the Super Mario 64 engine but it doesn't work as it should. The 3D parts don't work, at all. The water stages are horrible because they aren't made for the controls and camera in 2D, since they are in 3D, and the hub room has camera problems since the first time you boot up. It could be better polished. I liked the attempt, but it didn't work out well. Maybe if all of the stages were 2D, it could've turned out better.
2012
I didn't play it as much as it deserves, but I had an awesome time with just the multiplayer minigames. The Luigi's Mansion and the Animal Crossing ones are superb for an easy multiplayer game.
It is worth it to play. Every Wii U owner should buy this game to see what the Wii U Gamepad is capable of.

This game is amazing. It is very open, and gives you so many possibilities that you always want to come back and see what else can be done with it. Building is very fun and unstressful that I could play it for over 8 hours and didn't even notice. Beware: it is very time consuming, everything you need to do takes sometime to be made (playing in survival mode), because you have to hunt for resources. But it is a great game to get for an unstressful exercise. Play it in multiplayer with friends, it makes the game even more brilliant.
