I'll let you pick. Either:

A) My favorite 2D platformer, or

B) My favorite indie game...which is also a 2D platformer

The Godfather

I really enjoyed this! An intriguing showcase of the ruthlessness of organized crime and the upcoming Don's struggles.

But just know that there are some lines, language, and even entire scenes that would NOT fly today, even for an R-rated movie.

Despite that, still a neat watch!

Plants vs Zombies (DSiWare)

I almost got PvZ Replanted, then I learned more about it, and I'm no longer comfortable buying it.

Instead, I replayed the only PvZ game I own. And it holds up decently well. It looks and feels VERY chunky, but I can see the actual effort the devs put into this version.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment

Another fantastic Warriors game, but if you aren't already a fan of the subgenre, I don't expect this to change that. It's a great game for a niche audience, and a butter smooth 60 FPS is the cherry on top.

Also, gotta shout out that amazing story finale. DAMN.

TLoZ: A Link Between Worlds (100% replay)

This was my first Zelda game back in 2012, and it still holds up as my favorite 2D Zelda and a great place to start the series!

And despite its 2D nature, it really was a showcase for the 3D effect of the 3DS.

Would recommend to anyone, especially in 3D!

Interstellar

Despite being a big science guy, I've never seen this movie all the way through

And I see why. Holy shit it's long, and it FEELS long. It has a lot of good physics, emotional moments, and some fantasy built in

Still a decent way to kill 3 hours, if you don't mind some motion sickness

Yes, this is from the current event in DK Bananza Emerald Rush. It's very similar to Eggstra Work in Salmon Run, and with enough optimization, this happened.

And no, I didn't know there was a money cap before this.

Luigi's Mansion 3 (Replay)

Yep, definitely still my favorite LM game. I may not enjoy horror, but I do like the fun side of Halloween, and these games never fail to deliver that perfect balance between fun and spooky.

A must play for any Switch owner. Top notch controls, fun characters, good doggo

The Maze Runner: The Death Cure

Only now do I see that this series is a very elaborate version of Thompson's Violinist Analogy. Made me think a lot.

As far as post apocalyptic YA adaptations go, imo, this is one of the better series.

And this conclusion was...good. Not the best, but not that bad.

The Maze Runner: The Scortch Trials

Saw the first movie years ago, the second one definitely feels like...the second of a trilogy.

I will say, even though I don't like horror, these movies do a good job of telegraphing the threats well before the monsters show up, so I'm alright with these.

Beetlejuice

The special effects and a couple specific jokes have aged like milk, but other than that small blemish, this is a fantastic movie!

Imaginative, full of emotion, and very much Tim Burton.

And Michael Keaton is friggin hilarious as the titular character.

A Halloween-time must see!

I guess it's obvious in hindsight, but I didn't expect Nintendo to be pro-consumer in this small way

I knew some games like Fantasy Life did it, but apparently all first party Switch 2 Edition physical releases of Switch 1 games are like this, including the 3D Zeldas, Kirby, Z-A, and likely Prime 4
