I just beat __

Sonic and the secrect rings (i finnally beat that motherfucker)
 
Just finished Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake by doing both at the same time and recording the story. It was a bit hard, but it took the following in-game times: GBA is 55:53 and 3DS is 83:55. Keep in mind the added time was due to story writing as well.
 
donkey kong country 3, same save states as the previous two. the final boss and the level before that were actually pretty great so im not mad anymore!
overall good game i enjoy! even though a lot of the later levels still stink and dkc2 did a fair bit of things better. i did get a lot of appreciation for kiddy and also this game is just pretty n i really like the map exploration!
ill start going throgh krematoa now
 
I beat The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening (Switch version). Overall it was really fun, I'd probably call it my second favorite out of the four Zelda games I've beaten behind Ocarina of Time 3D and it has a good overworld and fun dungeons. I'd still put it ahead of A Link Between Worlds and Majora's Mask 3D for A Link Between Worlds having a bit of a weak story and MM3D sometimes having flaws N64 Majora's Mask didn't have like Zora Link

Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies

Just beat case 5 (though case 4 and 5 are really the same case, just split up due to plot reasons). Fantastic game, my third favorite game in the series.

Definitely going to buy the dlc eventually.
 
Jurassic Park III: Dino Defender

Well this is frankly amazing, I've finally beaten one of the very first video games I ever played. I used to play this one as a five or so year old before I moved onto Age of Empires 2 and then I received by DS and Wii and almost never came back to it since. I distinctly remember returning to it once when I was 10 or so because one of my friends wanted to play it, but the furthest I'd ever gotten was halfway through the pterodactyl level, you know the part where the two babies chase you and you have to watch out for the, you know, giant T-Rex. Anyway so today I thought I'd give myself a nostalgia blast because it was between this and continuing my Partners in Time playthrough and I said eh why not. My current PC doesn't have a disk reader so I had to get out my old slow PC but I eventually managed to get the game running. It glitched out when I tried to load save files so I realised I'd have to beat the whole thing in one sitting. And I did it, in about 3 hours. I have to say I wasn't planning on winning but I am so glad I did as it's very wholesome to beat one of my favourite classics from when I was really young. I did have to look up the solutions for a couple of parts but most of it I did on my own.

Do I recommend it? Not particularly. I'd say it's not an outright bad game, but the graphics are kinda mediocre, the music is just ok, the controls are pretty, for a lack of better word, stiff, and I think that especially towards the end of the game, it pretty much becomes a case of working out the exact sequence of actions that won't get you eaten. As you can tell by the fact I beat it in 3 hours despite working out most of it on my own and not having played the second half ever and not having played the first half in 7 years, it's a pretty short game, and afaik there's no postgame or extra content, I am pretty sure I missed a couple of bonus areas but that's it really. So yeah, it's a fine game but it's not a great game, and nostalgia by far the biggest thing holding it up for me. I don't see myself returning to this game anytime soon as I've given myself the nostalgia wave I wanted and I've beaten the game.


Verdict: 7/10 personally, 5.5/10 nonpersonally.
 
Paper Mario: The Origami King

BOI this sure was a ride! I wish I could've beat it earlier, but I had work.

After hearing what everyone said about this game, I didn't know what to expect, since some people said this game sucks, and others really liked it. The hardest part wasn't anything in the game, it was all the spoiler garbage I had to go through (prosafia must be swimming in a pool of people who got spoiled's tears). So I am being a good boy and putting actual spoilers in spoiler tags.

Anyway, on to the actual game:

I got the game at a time where i had nothing to play. I beat most games i had, I got kinda bored of smash bros, and didn't feel like rellaying games. I wanted something fresh, and origami king delivered. I liked every paper mario game I played, those being the first one, ttyd and super, so this was my first modern paper mario, and I honestly no longer wanna try sticker star or color splash because I know I won't enjoy them as much. In my opinion, this is the best paper mario game.

i guess I should go into more detail........this is by far the prettiest looking paper mario game, they somehow made it look better than color splash. The battle system was cool. Its not my favorite battle system in the franchise, but I like it. The bosses were definitely more fun than normal enemies tho. I even had fun with the vellumentals. The writing is pure gold, obviously, and the music slaps harder than my brother. This is a game I definitely recommend, or even if you dont like modern paper mario, at least give this game a go.

Ok now im getting into spoiler stuff, so dont click on this unless you beat the game.

this is probably the first time I even shed a tear while playing a video game. I never thought just one bobomb explosion would make me so sad, but here we are. I genuinely cried a bit during that scene, and im not the kinda guy who cries a lot because of media. Oliviassacrifice at the end also hit me, but its not as close as Bobby (in all honesty i found ollys death to be sadder than olivias, I dunno why tho, I really liked olivia). I think part of the reason why bobbys death was so hard to watch was because EVEN MARIO, who usually doesn't react to sad moments, reacted like me. Apparently you can get a 102% ending if you dont get a single game over, but fuck it i died a fair amount of times during my playthrough im not gonna do another one just for something I can watch on youtube. I will be trying to just 100% the game tho, already started working on it.

I think i need to address the final boss tho. Holy Shit. This is way more epic than it should be. I especially loved how you had to dodge giant ollys attacks and destroy him with hammer olivia. The beeg bowser part was also cool, like, the whole fight was just amazing. Even outside he final boss, there were some cool moments, like everything in hotfoot crater, the green streamer climax, the blue streamer climax, and even the beginning of the game. I feel like this is a game I'llr remember for years to come, maybe in 10 years itll make me feel nostalgic, heck this game already makes me feel some kinda nostalgia, like, I remember someone randomly sending me the trailer on discord in May, and me being hyped. It feels kinda surreal that the journey is over. No more hiding from spoilers, no more wishing I had this game. I knew this day would come, but I wasn't prepared for it.

Welp, I'm gonna go 100% the game now, but I should already star deciding what I should get next, probably fighters pass 2 in smash.
