Now that I've spent a weekend playing Kirby Air Riders, I can confidently say:
HOLY FUCK THIS GAME IS INCREDIBLE

After 5 years of ownership and just in time for Halloween, I finally finished Luigi's Mansion... on the Switch 2 and a day late, but that latter part was Nintendo's fault!
I'm genuinely sad it's over, I had a lovely time! The gameplay could've been a bit deeper (something the sequels seemingly-

My choice for #RandomGameSaturday is Mario Tennis on GBC! A delightful sports RPG that I'm still working through, with some awesome connectivity to its N64 counterpart.

I've been getting back into the good Monkey Balls lately, so now I have an excuse to share my cool clips

Finally put in the effort to finish Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz HD, and... it ended up disappointing me, even when I had no expectations!
The first few worlds were genuinely a lot of fun, but the controls just didn't feel suited for the precision the later levels required, which just made-

I finished playing Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle earlier! It ended rather abruptly (and with an NES-esque "congraturations" message), but the experience was a good one!
The game felt really well-suited for short-burst sessions, where I could play a few levels and then put it down until later. That made-

I've been here long enough, so I guess it's time to partake in #RandomGameSaturday!
Started playing Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle yesterday, and it's genuinely quite fun! It's one of those games where I keep saying to myself "just one more level" after planning to stop, and that's always a good sign.

Went out for a family dinner and there was a claw machine full of little trinkets, where I somehow won a Dr. Slump keychain?????? How did it get to a local pub of all places??????

Couldn't get anything good written today, so I decided to have an afternoon break with Balloon Kid (played here via the GBC rerelease that's also compatible with DMG Game Boys). It's alright!
I love Balloon Fight (it's my favourite pre-SMB1 NES game by a wide margin), but BK felt held back by-

After some consideration, I think I'm gonna close the book on Wario Land 2. I finished it on Sunday and tried some of the extra routes yesterday, but I'm ready to move on.
Still though, what a great game! It brings the Wario Land series completely into its own, and I loved how inventive the-

Something I've really come to enjoy about writing articles is doing extra research, through manuals and wikis and the like. It's fun digging through all these resources and using them to expand my work!

I finished replaying Mario Galaxy 2 today! (Not entirely done yet though, gonna try for all 120 stars)
I'm definitely not in the camp of people who think the Galaxy games are these generation-defining masterpieces, but it was fun and that's all I want out of Mario!

Now that I've wrapped up all the postgame content, I can confidently say my mind was changed. PMW2R is fantastic, and I think I might even like a bit more than the first game!
The platforming's a lot more fun, there's genuinely great incentives for collecting everything, and the postgame bosses-

One good thing about PMW2R is that it gives us more of Pac-Buddy, who's one of the goodest boys

Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac is finished... and I'm honestly a little relieved, because I don't think I liked this one very much.
I'm more than willing to admit it's a skill issue on my end, but so much of the second half was annoying and felt very trial-and-error, like the game was expecting me to know-

Klonoa: Empire of Dreams is finished!
Somehow, I liked this one more than the two mainline entries! Those games could get a bit bogged down with the story and giant levels for my liking, so the more tightly-built stages clicked with me a lot more.

I got this new shirt because I thought it would make for some cute outfits, but now I'm starting to worry I'm too fat to pull off the vibe I want...

The original Rocket Knight Adventures is already somewhat of a hidden gem, but its sequel has been grossly overlooked. There's so many little details and great design elements in here, along with one of the Mega Drive's best soundtracks.
