11) Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii
-AMAZING! Honestly just another extremely solid RGG game. The combat was SO fun and the story was very well paced. The substories and side activities are AMAZING and I loved the ship stuff! I have so much to rave abt, but LaD fans will LOVE it!!!
-9/10
10) Wario Land 4
-AMAZINGGG! The GBA graphics are some of the best on the platform, and the OST is AMAZING. The game also just has really unique gameplay that feel like a continuation of Mario 2. Honestly, I don't have anything bad to say, I cannot believe Nintendo never made Wario Land 5!
-9/10
9) Parking Garage Rally Circuit
-AMAZING! The controls feel REALLY good, the tracks are really well designed and compact, the music is PHENOMENAL, and it also has an EXTREMELY charming artstyle! I just wish there was more, but its only $8! Worth every penny! Can't wait to play custom tracks!
-9/10
8) Super Mario 64
-Great! For some reason, I found the game WAY easier on NSO than I did in the 3D All-Stars version lol, but either way its great! I was so horrible at this game at first, but I really felt I was improving by the end of the game and I was even doing speedrun strats!
-8/10
3D All Stars uses the Shindou Version which has changes like no backwards long jump so it doesn't feel as good to play lol NSO is the version that matters
7) Warioware: Get It Together!
-I LOVE this game lol. I found it fun and hectic and playing as so many characters inside the microgames made me further appreciate how unique they are! The music is PHENOMENAL too! My only gripe is that sum character movesets make no sense to play lolll.
-8.5/10
6) A Game About Digging A Hole
-Its cute. A super short and extremely simple game. I beat it in one sitting and don't regret it! You just dig a giant hole in ur backyard looking for treasure lol. I thought the gameplay loop and upgrades were so fun! The game has huge asset flip vibes lollll.
-7/10
5) WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgames!
-So fun! I haven't played this game since I was really young and it's even better than I remembered! Phenomenal music, really colorful GBA graphics and the microgames and little stories are so cute! Makes me want to play even more Warioware games!
-8/10
Oh, is this one on NSO?
I never actually played it, I jumped in on the Wii version
(Which was a great get-together game at the time while I was in college)
4) Donkey Kong Country Returns HD
-Great! One of the Wii's best and such an amazing platformer! The level design was awesome and the game is GORGEOUS! I found the last world absolutely infuriating! I think my only nitpick is I wish there were more tracks that weren't based on previous games!
-9/10
Honestlyyyy I find Returns wayyyy harder than Tropical Freeze lol. I replayed Tropical Freeze a few years ago and I'm also replaying now and I find the difficulty is so much better balanced lol.
I think genuinely like 90% of my deaths were on auto scrollers lol. The fact that Returns lets you take one free hit on the default difficulty is such a nice change lol.
3) Donkey Kong Country
-Amazing! The physics really hold up today. I really love how heavy DK feels! The art and music is AMAZING too! I will say this game really made me want to throw up at times. It was absolutely brutal and not all of my deaths felt like it was entirely my fault lol.
-8/10
2) Super Mario Galaxy
-It kind of is a perfect video game. I haven't played it since it first came out so it was super fun coming back to and remembering everything again. A genuine masterpiece lol. My only nitpick is sumtimes the gravity can really disorient me lol. And its so cinematic!
-10/10
Really was a highlight of the Wii era and one of my more treasured single player games from Nintendo. Also haven’t played it much since the Wii (think I replayed it on the Wii U though, but even then, been a long while!)
1) Halo 2: Anniversary
I loved it! It was an improvement in every way over the first game and I LOVED Arbiter! I got so much whiplash from all the added lore and GORGEOUS CGI cutscenes. I also LOVE the changes to the shield and the addition of dual wielding guns! Amazing!
