12 - Grandia (Switch)

While it may not have the best story or combat system, Grandia truly embodies the spirit of adventure

Discovering new lands in a quest to uncover the mysterious downfall of an ancient civilization with some of the most endearing characters was truly a magical experience

A new Rhythm Heaven makes me so incredibly happy. I played Rhythm Heaven Fever back in 2022. It was catchy, engaging, and was oozing with charm. It became one of my favorite games of all time. It's release date of 2026 stings, but damn, I haven't had a reveal make me feel that estatic in a long time

11 - Shovel Knight: King of Cards (Switch)

Another great campaign and a satisfying send off to Shovel Knight.

King Knight has a simple yet inventive moveset that makes you strategize your platforming routes through these creative levels, testing your knowledge of said moveset.

10 - Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations (Switch)

No one could have ever prepared me for how incredible this game was.

The way they set up all of these weaving storylines and had them culminate in such a satisfying way in Bridge to Turnabout was absolutely brilliant. What a sendoff

9 - Super Mario World (Switch)

I can't believe I've never beaten this game until now, but I had an enjoyable time.

The game is a short, but sweet adventure with all of the levels feeling well designed and fun to play through. Definitely enjoyed this more than Super Mario Bros 3.

8 - Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course (Switch)

I finally got around to beating the final boss of the DLC after giving up in 2022.

Cuphead overall (dlc included) is one of the greatest Indie Games ever created and is such an achievement. The DLC was somehow better than the base game.

7 - New Super Mario Bros U. Deluxe

It's fine.

6 - Super Monkey Ball: Banana Rumble (Switch)

Had a great time playing through the story mode, especially with my girlfriend. All the stages are super fun and make you play with the physics systems in creative ways with increasing difficulty

I hate Tornado Ring, worst stage in the game

Nintendo Switch #180 - Ring Fit Adventure

This game has escaped me for so damn long. I've always wanted this game, but for some reason, I always forgot about it and never got around to purchasing it. Now, I finally have it in my collection. I hope it's as fun as everyone has made it out to be

Nintendo Switch #179 - Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights

Glad I picked this one up. I had been looking for this game for a long time, but all the copies selling on Ebay were way too pricey. Finally bought it when it was getting a reprint by VGP. I will definitely get Magnolia in the future

5 - Mario & Luigi: Brothership

I think it's pretty indictive that after I beat the final boss, I was praying that there wasn't another boss phase

I still think this game is enjoyable, the messaging of the story is as subtle as a hammer to the head, but I did feel sad at the ending cutscene

Excuse the messy bowl, but damn, Korean Fried Chicken is Goated Fr Fr

Nintendo Switch #178 - A Space for the Unbound

Got this game off of an online sale. Really excited to eventually play this. The game has beautiful pixel and character art and from what I can ascertain, tells an emotional story. Hope I find something to love in this

4 - Curse Crackers: For Whom The Belle Toils (Switch)

I wish I liked this game more. It has a timeless GBC aesthetic with gorgeous character art and solid platforming movement

But the camera is way too zoomed in, levels have too many collectibles, and the level design is just okay

5.5/10

3 - Neon White (Switch)

Great game. Gameplay and level design promotes speedrunning and genuinely feels exhilerating to complete all of the shooting and platform challenges presented

However, the game gets incredibly exhausting to play towards the end, especially the Neon Green boss fights

8/10

2 - Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney - Justice For All (Switch)

Honestly, I think this game is seriously underrated. While I do agree this will probably be the "worst" entry in the trilogy, Case 2 is great and Case 4 was amazing

The only thing that holds this game back is unsurprisingly Case 3

Nintendo Switch #177 - Ys Memoire: The Oath of Felghana

Got this game a few days ago and really enjoyed all of the goodies that came with it.

I'm excited to get into the Ys Series. I think I want to try out Ys Origin as my first entry into the series, but I'm excited to play this in the future

1 - Radiant Historia Perfect Chronology (3DS)

I really enjoyed my time with this game tackling politics related to resource scarcity and time travel

The game doesn't reach the great highs of other JRPGs and drags a bit towards the middle, but it is still an incredibly worthwhile experience

9/10

Gonna start up my media thread for the year. This will archive games and other media such as movies or tv shows that I've finished over the course of 2025

Please feel free to drop any recommendations on what I should try to experience this year

Nintendo Switch #176 - Grandia HD Collection

After looking for an ESRB copy for so long, I finally found one. This game is definitely one of the rarer games I own in my collection now. Super stoked to play this sometime this year and see if this game lives up to it's legendary status

Nintendo Switch #175 - WarioWare Get It Together!

Funnily enough, this is my first WarioWare game I've added to my collection. I've never been interested in trying WarioWare games mainly due to their short run time. Luckily, this was on sale, so I will finally get to try this series out
January 7, 2025 at 5:59 PM
Nintendo Switch #174 - Romancing Saga 2: Revenge of the Seven

The last Christmas present I got in 2024. Initially, I wasn't interested in this game, but once I heard extremely positive word of mouth, it convinced me that I should get a copy. Excited to see what this game offers!

Nintendo Switch #173 - Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake

I have been anticipating the release of this ever since it got announced 3 years ago. While I'm usually a bit ambivalent towards remakes, this will be my first time playing DQ3 so it was the perfect situation for me to give this remake a shot
January 3, 2025 at 1:29 PM
Nintendo Switch #172 - Mario Vs Donkey Kong

Got this as a Christmas present. This game has surprisingly beautiful visuals and looks like a fun puzzle game. Hope this remake brings this series back to it's roots rather than just being about the minis. I can't wait to play this with my girlfriend
January 2, 2025 at 1:57 PM
Nintendo Switch #171 - Valkyria Chronicles Remastered

Got this recently from Limited Run games. Heard a lot of great things about this series and wanted to give it a shot. I've been wanting to dabble more into the SRPG genre besides just playing the latest Fire Emblem game. Hopefully I enjoy this!
