I thought I put the Land games up pretty fairly. 1 was bad, 2 was good, 3 was great

Knew you'd bring up Kirby

Sunshine had a lot going for it, but also a lot going against it for me.

Pretty much agree

They're some of my all time favorite games

The thing about the first Wario Land is it did adhere to the Mario formula still in a way future Wario games did not. There was still dying, power ups were lost when you got hit rather than sometimes gained if done a certain way. It's kind of a bridge between the two series, belonging in both at once before Wario did his own thing.

Everything you say about 64 doesn't change how poorly the controls have aged. And I did play the DS version. It controlled even worse. My opinion of it is from a reassessment of it I did this year. It's just what I think. I think you are just looking at it with rose tinted lenses too much.

The best Mario game you can get on the 3DS is Super Mario Bros 3.

Oooh, that is a good question. Gonna blog that now!

Titanfall and Layton vs Wright are my two favorites of this year so far. Though that will probably change soon with all the new games coming out.

Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 3D Mario I'd put above all those ones. They're really fantastic games. Outside there, I'd put a couple above Banjo Kazooie, but do agree Jak and Rayman Legends are much better platformers.
