For as much as I've loved previous Zelda games, this is the perfect one in my eyes. While there are some things I'm not particularly big on (I miss bigger dungeons and boss battles, and I feel they missed a lot they could have done with the Sheikah vs Yiga) the rest of the game was fantastic and I eagerly await the sequel.

SMO is by no means a bad game. It's very solid and fun for what it is, but unfortunately, I'm just not big on this style of gameplay and despite looking amazing, the game didn't wow me. Sunshine is still my favorite Mario game.
Ultimate does exactly what it sets out to do, and it does it well. There's a lot of fun to be had here, and I thoroughly enjoy it. I'm glad all the characters have returned, and I'm always eager to see who will be introduced next. I can't think of a way to improve the series any further, so well done, Sakurai.
Giving Skyrim 5 stars is more than it deserves, but the amount of joy it has brought me over the years is more than worth it. Skyrim has been a source of inspiration and comfort through some of the most difficult times in my life, and I didn't even start experimenting with mods until a couple of years ago. Vanilla Skyrim is a fun experience as it is, made better by the dlc and improved even more by the dedicated modders. While I may be waiting until 2037 for The Elder Scrolls VI, I will definitely still be enjoying Skyrim.

I bought Sunshine for my sister as a joke birthday present, and it has proved to be one of the best gifts I've ever given her. Sunshine is a fantastic game that changes up the "Mario 3D platformer" idea drastically, while still having levels that remain loyal to its roots. There are some issues here and there and I'm personally not great at the game, but it has been an essentially part of my life and I'm very glad to have the opportunity to yell about how good it is.
Brawl wasn't a bad game, you all are just mean. Though I'm so glad tripping is gone, I don't miss that at all. I was so mad about Mewtwo's removal, though.
Three Houses is easily one of my favorite games, despite its flaws. I could go on about how several of the routes have underwhelming stories or missed opportunities, but I'm not going to do that. Instead, I'm going to praise how much fun the characters were and how great the new mechanics ended up working out. I was nervous about the monastery and handling the instruction, but it turns out those mechanics were easily the most important part of the game for me. I'm interested in seeing where Fire Emblem will go from here!

I beat this game awhile back (before the dlc) and I legitimately could not tell you anything about what happened in it. I don't even remember the gameplay. That's how much of an impact it left on me. I do remember it being mechanically solid and I clearly enjoyed it enough to finish it, but that's all I've got.
One of these days I hope to go back to this game and play it all the way through, but it will probably not be the N64 version. I enjoyed what I did play of it, but I'm much more fond of the more recent Zelda games, likely because I don't have any nostalgia for this one.
Platinum was definitely a much-needed upgrade over Diamond and Pearl, but unfortunately the layout of the map was such a detriment to my enjoyment that I still never want to scale Mt Coronet again. If I never see snow to get stuck in in a Pokemon game, it'll be too soon. With that said, it's a Pokemon main line game, of course it's mechanically solid and a fun time.
Hoenn trumpets intensify... While Sapphire is the one I played most, Emerald is fantastic. Literally the only downside is the lack of physical/special split. Everything else is perfect. Including all the water.
Awakening introduced me to Fire Emblem and I'm so glad it did. The game is still very fun, though overall I prefer Fates over it. I know, I know, my taste is terrible.
Where's the Wii version for this game?? Anyway, that's the one I played, and it was very good. Twilight Princess was my favorite Zelda before Breath of the Wild, and I stand by it being a fantastic traditional Zelda game.

A solid Mario Kart game. Most of my memories of it were playing multiplayer with my sister and trying to cheese wins in battle mode. Good times...
Melee is fantastic and feels VERY different from the rest of the Smash Bros games. I wish it had been more balanced, but I do like that it still has a place in competitive even now because it's so unique.
