EarthBound Beginnings
-
-
Kirby's Adventure
9
Much more beginner friendly for an NES game, adore the pixel art style.
Super Mario Bros. 3
7
Super difficult to beat in one go without save states. Still prefer the original NES art style.

Game Boy

Game
Score
Notes
Kirby's Dream Land
7
Short and simple, not much replay value.
Kirby's Dream Land 2
7
Impressive and polished for a Game Boy game, but some uninspired level design.
Metroid II: Return of Samus
-
-
Pokémon Blue/Red
-
-
Pokémon Trading Card Game
-
-
Pokémon Yellow
6
I am not nostalgic with this game, super slow and janky, but still charming.
Super Mario Land
-
-
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
8
Really enjoy the quirkiness and freedom to choose worlds, controls are a little janky.
Tetris
7
Original still holds up very well, addicting formula, but without conveniences.

SNES

Game
Score
Notes
EarthBound
10
A cult-classic for a reason, sentimental and charmingly quirky, one of my favorite games of all time.
F-Zero
-
-
Final Fantasy IV (USA)
8
My first Final Fantasy game, genuinely surprised by the twist, grindy but enjoyable story.
Kirby Super Star
9
Love the package of subgames in one package, great replay value to hop in and out.
Kirby's Dream Course
-
-
Kirby's Dream Land 3
6
Super cute style, but slugglish controls and uninteresting collectibles.
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
7
Time-tested Zelda formula with difficult and obtuse moments. Or maybe I'm just bad.
Mario Paint
7
Super charming art tool, mouse controls are a bit outdated by today's standards.
Spider-Man and the X-Men in Arcade's Revenge
-
-
Super Mario All-Stars
-
-
Super Mario Kart
5
A little nostalgic, but controls have not aged well at all, CPUs cheat.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
8
-
Super Mario World
8
Such a whimsical game with whimsical music! Some mean levels towards the end.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
7
Cute aesthetic and soundtrack, but gets punishing and not very cozy towards the end.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles IV: Turtles in Time
7
Classic beat-'em-up but I'm bad at them, my cousin had this game growing up.
Tetris Attack
8
Love the Yoshi aesthetic, can be more enjoyable and addicting than actual Tetris.

N64

Game
Score
Notes
Banjo Kazooie
4
I'm not nostlagic for 3D platformers at all, clunky moveset, punishing collectible requirements, unfair level design.
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
6
Impressive and adorable visuals for N64, but sluggish movement and uninspired collectible system.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
-
-
Mario Kart 64
7
Iconic courses with really janky controls, love the soundtrack and perfectly 90's art direction.
Mario Party 2
-
-
Mario Party 3
-
-
Mario Tennis
-
-
Paper Mario
8
Surprisingly holds up as a turn-based RPG, very charming but a little cumbersome to navigate.
Pokémon Puzzle League
-
-
Pokémon Snap
-
-
Pokémon Stadium 2
6
Surprisingly beefy game with impressive features and animations, but the CPUs are unnecessarily difficult.
Super Mario 64
7
Revolutionary for its time, but super janky now. Almost always miss jumps and fall off.
Super Smash Bros.
6
Respect the roots, but the movement is a little too janky to play.
Yoshi's Story
-
-

Game Boy Color

Game
Score
Notes
Kirby Tilt n' Tumble
-
-
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX
7
Surprisingly robust top-down Zelda, but some annoying obtuse puzzle sequences. Really easy dungeon bosses.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons
6
My first top-down Zelda, really struggled to navigate as a first-timer with the changing seasons mechanic.
Pokémon Crystal
7
Charming Johto adventure with some quality-of-life features, preferred way to play old-school Gen 2.
Pokémon Gold/Silver
7
Robust Johto journey but with antiquated limitations like limited evolution stones and move tutors.
Pokémon Pinball

Notes
Camp Lazlo: Leaky Lake Games
-
-
Cars
-
-
Catz
6
Weird Japanese-inspired assets, but charming pet simulator. Game never saved my progress.
The Incredibles
6
My first beat-em-up. Restarted the game multiple times because of password system. Holds up as a licensed movie game.
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
-
-
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
8
Fun and kinetic RPG, some quirky minigames and platforming challenges. Super challening and frustrating final boss.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
6
-
Metroid: Zero Mission
8
My first Metroid game, finally understood the appeal of the series. Satisfying exploring and upgrade loop. Had to play on easy mode.
Pokémon Emerald
8
The definitive way to play Gen 3, much needed quality-of-life features for modern games. Love/hate relationship with the Battle Frontier.
Pokémon FireRed/LeafGreen
5
Technically a better way to play Kanto, but some really strange design decisions that hold back the experience.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team
7
Very impressive first entry, love the story, gets very difficult towards late-game.
Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire
7
Still fun Hoenn adventure, but admittedly limited to less modern mechanics.
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
7
Played a bootleg copy as a kid, voice lines are annoyingly charming. Somehow made it to World 5 without knowing how to run or fly.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
8
The most beginner-friendly Zelda game I played. Cute and timeless art style.
Luigi's Mansion
-
-
Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
9
One of my childhood games that my cousin owned. Super snappy and chaotic gameplay. Iconic soundtrack.
Mario Party 4
10
My favorite game of all time. Super nostalgic boards and music, mastered a bunch of minigames.
Mario Party 5
6
Feels a bit unpolished and incomplete. Some minigames are fun, but game overall feels bloated.
Mario Party 6

-
Mario Party 7
8

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
9
Standout story with diverse and memorable characters, refined combat system.
Pokémon Colosseum
4

Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness
5
Slightly more refined Colosseum but still sluggish and bland adventure.
The Sims Bustin' Out
-
-
Super Mario Strikers
-
-
Super Mario Sunshine

Super Smash Bros. Melee
9

DS

Game
Score
Notes
Animal Crossing: Wild World
7
Impressive content for the DS. Charming but choppy experience.
Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force
7
Cute and compact missions based on website missions. Classic Club Penguin style.
Club Penguin: Elite Penguin Force - Herbert's Revenge
7
Some recycled missions from the website, but better minigames and still maintained the classic art style.
Kirby: Squeak Squad
-
-
Kirby Super Star Ultra
9
Definitive version of Super Star, perfect for portable gaming. Love the Meta Knightmare Ultra mode.
Mario Kart DS
8
Fully featured portable Mario Kart that still holds up well. A little unfair item balancing.
Mario Party DS
8
Very underrated classic Mario Party. Played a ton during car rides as a kid.
Metroid Prime Hunters
-
-
Pokémon Black/White
8
Didn't love it back when it first released, but grew on me. Cool and unique story for the franchise.
Pokémon Black 2/White 2
10
Made Unova much prettier and more polished. A lot more quality-of-life features that we take for granted now.
Pokémon Diamond/Pearl
6
VERY clunky and slow, but also nostalgic and my first Pokémon adventure.
Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver
10
Filled with polish and care, one of the best remakes ever. My first ever Johto journey.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness
8
First played it on an R4 full of games my sister chose. Got hooked into the story and gameplay.
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Sky
9
Even more polished and fleshed out, essentially replaces the originals.
Pokémon Platinum
8
The definitive way to play Sinnoh. Much snappier, more lore, more polish. Nostalgic soundtrack.
Pokémon Ranger

Very charming and quirky style and gameplay. Much less forgiving than I expected.
