Pokémon Trozei!
Trozei is a decent matching-tile puzzler with a Pokémon coat of paint, and that’s all.
Elite Beat Agents
If the gameplay could be cleaned up, this could be an outstanding franchise.
Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time
Partners in Time contains the strong foundation of the Mario RPGs, but it ends up being underwhelming nevertheless.
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Captain Toad is distinctly charming, but that’s all it is.
Luigi’s Mansion 3
By many of the usual metrics for game quality, Luigi’s Mansion 3 isn’t great, but it shines in other ways.
The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Oracle of Ages is the weaker of the two Oracle games, but it’s still absolutely worth playing.
Splatoon 2
I’ve had a lot of fun with Splatoon 2’s multiplayer. Unfortunately, the single-player portion does not pull its weight.
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Anniversary Edition
The single-player content in the Anniversary Edition is extraordinarily lazy and inappropriate, creating what might be the widest gap in entertainment based on player number I’ve ever seen.
Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda
Cadence of Hyrule is alright; its positive aspects are just less tangible and discussion-worthy.
Tetrisphere
This concept, if only it can be polished, is aching for a modern revival.
