- DirectorYoshiaki KoizumiStarsCharles MartinetKenny JamesSamantha KellyWhen Princess Peach is abducted as part of Bowser's galaxy creation scheme, stalwart plumber Mario must leap to her rescue, with the help of new celestial friends and powers.
- mostly nostalgia, but also a fantastic game.
- Controls are crisp despite the Wii/Nunchuck combo.
- Soundtrack is one of the all-time greats; orchestral, electronic, and creative use of SFX all mesh.
- Beautiful worlds with creative and rewarding level design and memorable one-off mechanics.
- Surprisingly engrossing story and worldbuilding, due in major part to the hub world.
- Issues: The underwater controls are far from the smooth grounded controls (although this is something that comes with the type of course). Some levels are a tad bit time-consuming, dragging on a bit too long. My major "complaint" is the lackluster postgame- the same game again with Luigi. This isn't as much an issue due to the replayability of the base game.
- DirectorYoshio SakamotoStarsKenji YamamotoDan OwsenSamus Aran returns to the brooding planet Zebes to recover the last metroid from the Space Pirates.The pinnacle of exploration-based adventure. By breaking new ground and allowing free yet clear and subtly guided exploration at the discretion of the player (mostly). The atmosphere is arguably the strongest aspect, with some of the best worldbuilding I've ever seen in *any* media form.
- DirectorShu TakumiStarsDavid CrislipBrandon GayKou HamasakiPhoenix Wright: Ace Attorney is a video game made by Capcom in which you play the role of Phoenix Wright, a funny, likeable defense lawyer who has to face countless and often bizarre court cases against ruthless prosecutors.
- DirectorShigesato ItoiStarsShigesato ItoiYukari SaitoHirokazu KoyanoNess, a boy from Onett, Eagleland, teams up with new friends to defeat an Evil Destroyer named Giygas. During the epic pursuits, Ness and his allies attempt to find the sacred Eight Melodies.
- DirectorKenta MotokuraStarsKate HigginsNobuyuki HiyamaKenny JamesMario must travel to worlds unknown in order to stop Bowser from marrying Princess Peach.
- DirectorMasahiro SakuraiStarsJaz AdamsRikako AikawaJustin AnselmiSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate for the Nintendo Switch brings back every fighter in the history of the series, adds newcomers and over 100 stages, and introduces a new adventure mode called "World of Light''.The beauty of Smash speaks for itself- unfathomably massive roster of well-balanced video game greats with phenomenal controls, mechanics, customizable rulesets, and stages. Single-player collectibles take the forefront of the solo content, and finally have meaning (although trophies will be missed). Online is faulty, but workarounds exist with prior set-up.
- DirectorMasahiro SakuraiStarsPat CashmanCharles MartinetMakiko ÔmotoThe third Super Smash Bros. title, featuring a number of new additions, including an engrossing story mode and cooperative play, new characters, new stages, and online combat.
- DirectorMasahiro SakuraiStarsDean HarringtonCharles MartinetNobuyuki HiyamaSmash Bros. installment for the GameCube with fast-paced, highly competitive and technical gameplay of realtime chess and hype using various Nintendo characters, with simple controls yet deep mechanics.
- DirectorMasahiro SakuraiStarsJason AdkinsIsabella ArevaloLaura BaileyDuke it out in the fourth entry of the Super Smash Bros. series. New features are an eight player-mode, support for Nintendo's Amiibos, custom Miis as playable fighters, post-release DLC and more.A game with high highs and low lows. The gameplay is great, lending itself particularly well to casual play or semi-competitive matches with friends. The online is good, even to the point of surpassing its senior in quality. The single-player and extra content, however, is pathetically lacking, bringing the game far lower than I would like to rate it.
- StarsAndria BatiseKevin BlacktonBilly BrownA gang of teenagers with an affinity for underground music and graffiti artwork fight against a sinister corporation that has taken control of the city they call home.
- DirectorMasayoshi KikuchiRyuta UedaStarsBilly BrownCharles MartinetCasey RobertsonA group of graffiti spraying, roller blading, teens called, "The GGs", have to stop a mega corporate enterprise known as, "The Rokkaku Group" and their leader, "Gouji Rokkaku" who is the brand new mayor of a futuristic Tokyo. He plans to take away freedom of expression and speech as mayor of Tokyo. And it's up to "The GGs" to stop him from doing so.
- DirectorHideki KamiyaIsao NegishiStarsHellena TaylorGrey GriffinChick VenneraA trigger happy witch wakes up with no recollection of who or where she is, when a flashback takes her 500 years back in time and leads her on a quest to retrieve artifacts known as "Eyes of the World".A wild yet comprehensive romp through a crazy story, with the smooth gameplay to be expected from Kamiya's works, a fun yet occasionally drab world, and loveable characters.
- DirectorYusuke HashimotoIsao NegishiStarsHellena TaylorMark DaughertyCrispin FreemanWhen Jeanne's soul is dragged into the depths of Inferno after a demon summoning goes horribly wrong, Bayonetta goes on a dangerous quest to Inferno to rescue her friend before its too late.Bayonetta 2 improves upon the formula of the original, with nearly every aspect seeing a major improvement. The replayability of the game is far greater, encouraging repeated play of single chapters to master those sequences at any pace.
- DirectorYusuke AmanoTsubasa SakaguchiStarsMari KikumaYuki KudaraYuki TsujiSplatter enemies and claim your turf as ink-spraying, squid-like Inklings in Nintendo's ultimate messfest.
- DirectorYusuke AmanoSeita InoueShintaro SatoStarsRina ItouAlice PeraltaMari KikumaThe Great Zapfish has been stolen once again by the Octarian forces. Callie, a famous Inkling pop idol from a group known as the Squid Sisters, has also gone missing.

- Phenomenal story, atmosphere, characters, music, and presentation bogged down by massive and drawn-out map design- a relic of the archaic structure of the original game (accurate remaking to a fault).
- DirectorKentaro NishimuraTaiki UbukataSachiko WadaYou play as Eirika and Ephraim as they both set out on a campaign mission with their army to defeat Grados army who invaded Renais. Later on they set out with their army to defeat the demon king who threatens their kingdom.
- Although the plot is a simply-structured dual hero's journey and the gameplay, while fun, is laughably easy, all other aspects of the game are second to none in the SRPG genre- extraordinary characters, map design, atmosphere, music, and so on. A true strategy game mastercraft.
- DirectorShouzou KagaAs an all-out war begins a power-struggle to control the continent of Jugdral, the actions of Sigurd, the prince of Chalphy, and his army will forever change Jugdral in a game that takes place across two generations.
- DirectorKoichi HayashidaStarsCharles MartinetDex ManleyScott BurnsMario goes back in the galaxy to save Princess Peach from Bowser.
- DirectorTakahiro HaradaHitoshi YamagamiMario takes up the helm of a doctor in Mushroom Hospital. Three new types of viruses threaten healthy life, so "Doctor" Mario formulates multi-colored vitamins ready for microscopic battle.
- DirectorEiji AonumaYoshiaki KoizumiStarsFujiko TakimotoSachi MatsumotoKôji TobeAfter becoming the hero of Hyrule, Link stumbles into the enchanted land of Termina, where a falling moon will crush the world in three days.
- DirectorDan SalvatoStarsJillian AshcraftThe Character is a member of the literature club, along with four girls. In each chapter, the protagonist will create a poem based around twenty words selected by the player, which the girls will comment on and compare to previous poems.
- A rollercoaster of emotions presented in a wildly powerful way through plot twists, baiting the player, and psychological manipulation. This game has no right being as fantastic a narrative as it is.
- DirectorMineshi KimuraKenji SaitoHideo KojimaStarsQuinton FlynnPhilip Anthony-RodriguezMichael BeattieIn the year 2018, cybernetic soldier Raiden goes on a mission to stop a terrorist organization from starting a war for financial gain.
- DirectorKo KojimaGenki YokotaTetsuya TakahashiStarsShintarô AsanumaEri NakaoRyô HorikawaIn a world of endless ocean, all life lives on the decaying corpses of two gigantic titans, the Bionis and Mechonis.
