great game with funny characters, that also manages to be serious enough for it to be enjoyable. just a generally great vibe at all times! pit is a funny and sweet protagonist, dark pit is such a nice spin on "evil doppelgängers" and palutena is a very lovable companion/leader. even the characters that aren't part of the main cast are great and enjoyable!

my main problem with the game are the controls though. i did die quite a couple times seemingly out of nowhere, with my healthbar dropping from 100% to 0% without even an indicator as to why. i also did experience hand cramps thanks to how the game controls. as for the controls, they are smooth while in the air but a bit sloppy on ground. i dashed off too many edges on accident because running and walking are basically the same button.

i do still hope this game gets a sequel or even a remake one day. i'd like to see more of those characters and hopefully with the controls being adjusted!

the addition of cats is nice, but events like walking your dog or the tournaments aren't as fun in this game. this game lacks the charm of the first nintendogs, but it's not a terrible game either. but if i want to play nintendogs, i'll likely play the original again, instead of this version

all 8 routes are really good, but i especially fell in love with how the villain was introduced in the last route. the individual routes never felt too long and i felt like i was really accomplishing something in a short period of time, while also growing attached to all the characters in the limited time i got with them. the only thing i wasn't a big fan of was the gameplay, which made me drop the game at the very end and watch the ending on youtube. some battles and routes felt pretty easy and some felt way too hard. it's an interesting battle system, but interesting doesn't always mean good

played this a while ago with a friend and loved it, but when i tried to play it by myself, it just wasn't as fun anymore. maybe i'll eventually get into it again but i think my memories of this game were better than the actual game

i've played this a while ago and never quite got into it. perhaps if i play this in the future, i'll be able to really get into it and enjoy it. it's not bad at all, i'm just currently not feeling it!

not really for me! not terrible and this game did a lot for 2D mario, but i don't really like it much or care about it

2017

it's not terrible but after playing it for a while, it just got boring. i don't know anyone who owns this game and would want to play it together and there's not much else to do here. especially without nintendo online, there's barely any content.

i consistantly skipped every cut scene and i barely know anything about kingdom hearts (i only played days) but i still enjoyed my time with this. when i eventually play the games, i'll likely return to this game again. the music is really good though and i'll surely use the jukebox function a lot!

this game just isn't for me. i tried to like it, tried to get into it multiple times, but it's not my thing. bit dissapointed i wasted my money on it, but at the very least i now know what i don't want in a videogame

i knew how this game would end, but it still tore my heart to shreds. one of the best final battles in any game i played! trying to desperately keep zack alive, even when you know you're outnumbered and don't stand a chance. he truly was a hero and seeing him pass away hurt like hell. i have never played a final fantasy game before this one, but i still loved my time with it!

this game can be really funny when played with others, but doesn't have a lot to offer when playing by yourself

really fun game with interesting and creative levels! however, the fake out ending leading to more levels annoyed me and ultimately left a bitter taste in my mouth after having to grind for coins. i'll likely replay the individual levels, but i'll stay away from the last world

just simple fun! perhaps i enjoyed this game so much because it was just what i needed to play at that time, but i didn't even mind the ending being... unfinished.

i can see why people would be disappointed by this game, but that couldn't be me. i might even get the second game!

where do i even start here? those three games are much more different from each other than the three games in the first trilogy were. this trilogy started off very strong, with the first game perhaps being my favorite ace attorney game ever!

the first game has my favorite cast of characters and the best music in the entire franchise. it's also not too long and just hits a sweet spot with its length. i never got tired of it but it also never felt too short. after finishing it, i immediately wanted to replay it!

dual destinies isn't as bad as people pretend it is, but i still didn't enjoy it as much as the first game in the trilogy. athena and simon are wonderful characters, but don't get enough time to shine (and it sadly only gets worse for them in the next game...). i think the game didn't start very strong but got better over time. i enjoyed what they did here, but some things absolutely could've been better in this game.

and then, spirit of justice... probably my least favorite ace attorney game. i didn't enjoy the setting and i did NOT enjoy the ending. nahyuta is the weakest prosecture in the series (cool theme though, i'll give him that), i hated devination seances and i did not enjoy how apollo was connected to the events of this game. i love apollo, but he didn't need to be here. he should've stayed home, but instead he now opened a law office there. i genuinely hate this, as it just felt so out of the blue. i'd be the first person rooting for my boy to get his own law office, but this just didn't feel earned. plus, i loved his dynamics with trucy, athena and even phoenix, who he is now removed from. plus, apollo and trucy's mother being hinted at during the ending... she should've been here sooner. i loved her in the first game of the trilogy but by the time she "showed up" in spirit of justice, i was just annoyed and wanted her to hurry up.

i really enjoyed my time with the trilogy, but it really sucks that it ended on such a sour note for me. perhaps a future game can fix what i disliked, but for now, this sadly annoyed me enough that i can't get myself to rate this game any higher.

however, i did enjoy the special episode of spirit of justice, which at least made me like something about that game! soo, that's something!

i started the game on the DS, but finished it on the switch via the apollo justice trilogy. and the entire time while playing it, i kept thinking "i can't wait to replay this on the DS". it really is a great game and the nee graphics for it are great, but the old pixel style really has its charm! i really love it! great cast, great music, great everything!
