[–] jeffw@lemmy.world [S] 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) But are there any games worth playing? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] otp@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 years ago (1 child) The Wario game is pretty good if you liked the original Game Boy Wario games. Mario Clash is a fun take on the original Mario Bros game which didn't need to be 3D, so I'm a little disappointed they haven't revisited it. Jack Bros. is notable for being Atlus' first release in the West, and I remember having some fun with that one. Mario Tennis was also pretty good, but there are probably better Mario Tennis games by now. How many consoles can say that ~28% of their library is worth checking out?

Haha permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 4 points 2 years ago It takes a bit of time for the controls to click, then all of a sudden you just catch a rhythm and it's second nature. Happened to me the first time I beat the self-destructive guy. Having to go for speed just made everything click and from that point it was all learning strategy, controlling what I wanted the game to do was no longer an issue. permalink fedilink source parent
