Yoshi's Crafted World Got to the end credits, did every collectable, that part of the game was really fun, didn't have most of the aggravations that eventually get to me in other Yoshi games. Maybe the downside was that there was probably too much having to replay levels over and over again to collect everything. After the end-credits, things unlocked and those things brought the regular Yoshi game stuff that always grinds me down or turns me off. Not gonna bother with it.

Hated that they added gyroscope controls and God of War-esque balance-beams. Sound and music is still the game's best feature. Controls on 3DS still weren't the greatest.

Poochy and Yoshi's Woolly World Was chill, I really liked some of the level gimmicks but they didn't really revisit too many of them so it also felt like each level had something interesting going for it. Liked it better than mainline Yoshi games because no Baby Mario and no percentages so I didn't have to bother with beating every level without getting hit or get got-mad because of my OCD. Except for the Boss Rush and the final secret level, which I didn't bother with, I otherwise got all the sunflowers, stamps and wool Yoshis.

I did technically beat it (including the post-game final quest). I'm not finished with it yet because I do want to collect'em all and do other things in it, but it's being relegated to the game to play while listening to podcasts and not the game I'm principally focusing on. Besides the obvious complaints that long-time fans have (THEY LEFT OUT KROOKODILE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE), it was otherwise a solid-ass Pokemon game. Catching and collecting is always fun, I fucking loved the gyms (GYMS ARE BACK) and the focus on Pokemon Battles as a competitive spectator sport. The UK-ish backgrounds were pretty as fuck. The quality-of-life additions were welcome. I think the main villain/storyline could've been more fleshed out, but it accomplished what it meant to. Team Yell was weak as fu as far as Pokemon teams are but I guess they served their purpose. Pretty good generation as far as designs go, but super-weak when it comes to the starters.

First Fire Emblem game I've played the full way through. I did make a few save states (there was a mission I probably spent at least an hour on and I had set it up to be beaten but I was paranoid about the power randomly going out) but the only time I ever used one was on the last level, moments before fighting the boss, just so I didn't have to waste a few extra turns positioning my army (I'd already saved just before him legit anyways). I enjoyed how the DS version of this game kind of set it up like a puzzle, each map you have to figure out the optimum way to win . Or at least early on I did. In later levels, I'd turtle using my two promoted generals (Draug and Roger) with Lena healing, Hardin/Paladin, Jeorge/Sniper and Beck/Ballista back-up while waiting for the enemy reinforcements to peter out. Except in Chapter 24, where I took Tiki from level 1 to about level 20 something by OHKO'ing Dragonkin. Got kind of annoyed by the last mission. I don't think I'd like playing any more of these games without the ability to train units at least. Permadeath wasn't as bad as I thought it would be (with in-chapter save points at least), but later chapters were super repetitive with endless waves of enemies and really only a few units being useful, I'm not sure if I'd play this or casual mode in future games.

I missed some pieces of Fabric somewhere and only did about 5 or 6 Devilish Mode levels before deciding not to do the rest. Definitely the best version of the game. It got flack back in the day for not allowing you to die but the challenge is more in not getting hit and losing your beads. Devilish Mode added death and an enemy who pops up and dogs you throughout the level, so that little bit that was missing from it is now here (I didn't do it because in order to collect everything, you have to beat every level without getting hit in this mode, Kirby in some ways and the UFO transformation in particular don't control well enough to bother with that). I ended up really liking the Dedede and Meta Knight Mini-games and kinda wished they included more levels in both. The space-shooter levels reminded me that I'm getting old as my hands start to hurt if I have to rapidly tap buttons (especially such a small device). There's a lot more in this game than I remember there being, cute and good music and a good-ass game but not really a great-ass game. It does make me look forward to playing Yoshi's Woolly World and Crafted World, which I do plan to do in the near future. Fire Emblem next, though.

Link's Awakening Beautiful art-style and music (mostly, the blur is kind of annoying), I wish more of the old 2D Zeldas were remade with this style. As far as a recreation of Link's Awakening with better graphics and music, it's pretty much perfect. As far as being a full price Switch remake offering more than what was in the original package, it's pretty lackluster. I guess it at least adapted the Game Boy Colour version and the extra dungeon. I played the dungeon-maker only as much as I needed to get all the Hearts and Seashells (which I did do) and it was okay but nothing blow-away, felt more tacked-on than otherwise. Didn't bother playing Hero/Hard Mode or whatever it's called.

Loved the sound effects and music especially, the theme is so catch and I like how Luigi hums it himself when in the dark just to distract himself from being afraid. Controls sucked though (one-stick 3DS), especially on the last boss. Collected every Boo, got a B Rank Mansion and $98 million. I think I did two achievement lists and most of a third list, but not gonna do any more because said controls make attempting to play it with any kind of skill a drag.

Aight, the asterisk is now off. The Vault Shop is time-based so just have to leave the game up and running and it'll refresh every little while. Have all the spirits now.

I'm a fighting game moron so I never think to press the block button or the roll/dodge combo button, so having counters is pretty much necessary for me

Kirby Star Allies *22: Super Smash Bros Ultimate Hit the 100ish hour mark. Did all 124 Challenges, beat Classic Mode with every character (including DLC Characters), beat World of Light. The asterisk is because I still have 11 Spirits left to collect, but they're Vault Store Spirits and those just pop up randomly as you play. Also Terry and the other DLC in the future still to collect. I've never played Smash with any regularity beyond renting a few times in the N64 years. Fucking loooooved the bite-sized gameplay that you could pick up and play, how much single player content there was to do, the faux-achievements, and especially 1300+ collectables of video game characters. God damn, it's a great overall package. I mostly mained Ganondorf in World of Light (there's an easy way to cheese it with him), and Marth online, but the last thing I did was beat Classic Mode with every character and Chrom actually felt really good and had a few things that I felt Marth was missing. I'll probably fuck around with Chrom a bit more as a I play to pop the other spirits.

Nop. Similar concept w/ four players and being able to play as enemies, but that one just looks like it's exclusively boss battles.

It's like an average game as a game but a 9 or 10/10 Kirby game.

I didn't get one Star Coin in one level because I either already did it on Wii U or gave up on it on Wii U (Fire Bar Sprint, you have to accidentally get the right timing to run through a level without getting hit, shit's dumb). I was kinda hyped to pick up Mario Maker at some point but I think I'm 2d'ed out again.

Only things I didn't do was beating the last bonus level where you're being chased by Mummies for 50 floors (if I did beat it, I would've already done it on Wii U, and if I didn't beat it, which I don't think I would've had the patience for, whatevs), and getting the last purple gem in the free DLC (have to beat 25 or 30 floors while being chased by Mummies and having to preserve the Toad Brigade behind you). Same thoughts as the Wii U version, game is easy and chill and feels similar to Donkey Kong '94 on Game Boy but in 3D, probs a good game for a parent who wants to play something cute and simple with their kids.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (Platinum Trophy) That was chill and satisfying the same way MMO fetchquests can be. Battle system was aight. Still didn't like the Majora's Mask set-up, Exploration with a Time Limit is not a good combination and thank god for that FAQ (Especially hated that there was basically no point listening to anything Hope or Lightning said when it wasn't a cut-scene because you'd be wasting time). (Speaking of God, I really liked that they called Bunivelze "God" most of the time. That feels like something they would've shied away from in the past). The story was delicious JRPG bullshit. If I was following everything correctly... Oh, also Very satisfying to have all three games Platinum'd, I think only XIII-2 would be worth going back to if ever.

I just got to Day 5, this game would be unplayable without this guide

That's exactly the one I had bookmarked

I'm taking your advice and using a step-by-step guide for it too, which I probably would've done anyways because ever since Majora's Mask I've hated time-reset mechanics

Shadow of the Colossus (Trophy Clean-up) 14. Final Fantasy XIII (Platinum Trophy) 15. Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Platinum Trophy) I would liken this to a Final Fantasy version of Assassin's Creed Brotherhood or Revelations. It fixed whatever lingering issues the game it spun off from had (though tbf, AC2 was the big-fixer after AC1 and BR/R was just refining, XIII-2 was the big fixer), it played smoothly but I would say unspectaculary, more of a relaxing video game where you complete missions and collect things like AC games are than necessarily intense (probably my fault for playing on easy). There was still a few intense battles, but even the superboss felt less like he was truly difficult and more that he was just made to deliberately fudge with the battle system, XIII felt more intense overall (likely due to the unpopular feature of restricting growth to artificially keep things difficult). I think the collectible monster system is the reason why, with so many options and possible combinations they would've had to account for enough variance to not make the battle system as specific as XIII was (or maybe I just played Easy). Story I think the was poorly characterized (Noel is not a good character at all, Caius didn't feel grand like Final Fantasy should even though I liked his design), not necessarily written well but does have that "weird energy anime bullshit" going on that I liked about games like Chrono Cross and FF8 where you kinda wanted to read more about what specifically happened. That ending though Good but not great, 98% a step up from XIII. If these games weren't called Final Fantasy, we'd probably look at them as quirky JRPGs that tried something different than Nier rather than the non-MMO black sheep of the family.

Shadow of the Colossus (Trophy Clean-up) 14. Final Fantasy XIII (Platinum Trophy) I think third time beating the game (I had two other profiles that I played it on on Xbox 360), first time 100%ing/Platinum'ing it. I still think story and gameplay were okay, and still think if this game released under a name that wasn't "Final Fantasy" it'd be held in a higher regard than it is (though without the name "Final Fantasy", it doesn't get the production values). There's parts around Chapter 8 that's obnoxious because you've experienced all the roles by then and it's just obnoxiously making you hate playing with two players on purpose just so it feels momentous when you finally get three... only to pull back to two again. Fuck offffffff. I also originally thought that the drama built up between the characters was pretty well done (for anime-inspired storylines, anyways) and that they got over their various gripes too easily, and that still holds true. Barthandelus remains one of the weakest FF villains that I've experienced so far I actually spent a good chunk of the time wondering how they had enough material to create sequels because I remembered the storyline more or less being wrapped up, but then the analects/little text pieces that you get for monster-killing later (which I mostly didn't do the two other times I played this) dropped a few interesting tidbits and hints. Thinking of playing XIII-2 and Lightning Returns after this to finish off a sub-series from my backlog.

As I understand it, they just chopped out the first mission or so and released it as a retail demo. I bought MGSV Definitive and both Ground Zeroes and Phantom Pain weren't installed separately.
