Finest K.

After seeing multiple great reviews and gameplay clips, I decided to buy the N64 with Mario 64 and 3 others in 2019 because I had nothing else to do. Most people who give these 5 star reviews are people who are giving it for the nostalgia or they've never played it and just think its cool. Also, poor one out for the kid who asked how to get it on the Xbox one. With this being said, "mArIo 64 Is A pIeCe Of ClUnKy TrAsH. It was made in 1996 with bad graphics so its objectively bad." You think that phrase was dumb? Well people reviewing actually are saying stuff like that. And while it is hard to literally spin around with Mario, this game's controls are so razor tight that's it is unbelievable how revolutionary they were for their time. I don't think I need to brag about how good the game is because pretty much everybody else has said why, so I'll list the down sides: 100% the game isn't so bad until you realize the second you get all the main stars that you have to collect 100 coins in every levels to get all of the stars. It's really annoying for some levels because it's like looking for water in the desert. I have yet to 100% the game, but after beating the game 4 times, I still have fun playing this game in 2020. Now then, does anybody know how to get this game on the Play Station 7? UPDATE: I hate playing this game on the switch with the original camera still in place. After finally 100% it twice, collecting 100 coins in every level isn't so bad, in fact collecting 100 of them in Lethal Lava Land was one of the best experiences I've had in the game. I didn't really touch on the camera because while I never had a problem manually controlling a camera in a 3D platformer, I do have problems with it clipping through walls or not allowing me to change it while Mario is looking in a different direction. But, its still a lot of fun to play in 2021, and I recommend to just get it on an original N64 than getting it with the 3D All-Stars Collection if you're only buying it for that.

Metroid Prime was possibly the most hyped up old game that I had not yet played, and after loving peak of the series' design, Super Metroid, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it...But I'm gonna cut to the chase. Metroid Prime has one of the highest highs in the series and some of the lowest lows in the it at the same time, seriously. For every great moment, there's a slip up pretty much right after. The new power ups are pretty cool and the old ones are put into excellent use in 3D, the grapple beam in particular is very fun to use. However, for some of these power ups, they barely get usage. This comes out clear with the x-ray visor. On paper, it sounds cool but when you combine it with the fact that the world is so big and there are barely any places to use it and you don't know where to use it, using the x-ray visor can be frustrating to put in to use, especially during one of the parts in Phazon Mines to which at that point you've already forgotten about its existence so how would you even know to use it now? The Bosses and the Environments along with their relaxing and inventive music are the obvious highlights of the game. The spectacle of each boss is incredible and each one has a menacing presence, making all of them very intense along with being enjoyable. The environments are possibly even more believable than Super's, and combined with the amazing music they blow it out of the park. Phendra Drifts is the crown-jewel of these regions, delivering some of the best music in the game and astonishingly beautiful scenery. But how much of this game is bosses and admiring scenery? Nothing really compared to HOW MUCH EXCESSSIVE BACKTRACKING THERE IS. Oh got a power up? Cool, now go across the map and back to get to the next part of the game which will take you about 10 minutes each time. Despite popular opinion, Metroid has always been pretty tame with its backtracking but Metroid Prime takes it over the limit. And even though I am the kind of person who doesn't mind going places you've already been to, it gets REALLY bad when you have to find the stupid Chozo Artifacts. While Metroid Prime has a great way of making the world more believable with these backtracking moments, it ends up dropping the ball every time after the game was just picking up speed. I love it, I hate it. I love using the boost ball, I hate fighting the phantoms. I love the music, I hate the water sections. I far and away believe why people absolutely adore this game but sadly for me, I did not like as much as I would've thought. However, this game truly does a great job of transferring Metroid to 3D and putting its own little twist on things. As their first outing, Retro did an amazing job so I'll barely give this one a 7/10.

Such an incredible movie. Really loved the CGI, so realistic, and, uh, the story was incredible to. Um, what else, oh the sound quality and voice acting really come together to make an incredible, incredible film. Just to smow and, oops sorry, someone put a typo in this script, just to show and end off how good this movie is, the quality of the graphics is increwible...sorry there was another one.

Disclaimer: I don't have any nostalgia with this game. With that out of the way, Melee is a messy masterpiece. The game play is incredibly fast paced because of a lot accidental mechanics like wave dashing and no ledge trumping. For the most part, the game can be fun for pretty much any fan of the series with some really casual casual stages like poke floats but manages to be fun for more competitive players because again for its fast paced game play. There are 10 characters, all of them being so much fun to play mostly because they're so fast. Most of these characters drop like their bricks falling from the sky and the combination of L canceling and more make some really, really quick and enjoyable matches. However, when I say Melee is a messy masterpiece, its because I mean there are some really big problems. I didn't mention when talking about the characters that there are actually 25 with 15 of them just being obsolete compared to the other 10 good characters. Also, when you play alone the game turns from gaming perfection to brainless boorishness. You have adventure mode that doesn't change every time you play and takes too long to do. You have the stadium modes that go from: Home-Run-Contest: Okay, Target Test: Good, All Star: Fine, Multi-man Melee: Garbage. Seriously, who made 15 minute melee? By the way, you have to do this stupid mode for a stage. Classic Mode is alright but when you complete it with every character there's not much to do afterwards. But the PvP game play is so incredible I have to give a solid 9/10.
