Hands down the greatest platformer of all time. Everything you'd expect in a platformer is there and the memories I have playing this game as a kid and loving every minute of it is what makes this game one of the best of all times. And I even owned the domino game!
NES: 1991/08/29 | Virtual Console: 2007/11/09 | My score: 5/5.
Holy crap this is one hardcore game. Nice early generation NES graphics and catchy tunes and once you get past the first world, this game actually ain't that hard. Comparatively.
NES: 1987 | Virtual Console: 2007/02/23 | My score: 4/5.
The second game I've ever played and again, one of the best ever. The different abilities, well-balanced difficulty, the colorful soundtrack and worlds really came alive in the dying days of the NES. Hands down the best Kirby game.
NES: 1993/12/09 | Virtual Console: 2007/02/16 | My score: 5/5.
Decent platformer but completing it feels like a chore and collecting enough fruit to end a level is just kind of pointless.
Nintendo 64: 1998/04/09 | Virtual Console: 2007/10/26 | My score: 2/5.
I've watched a friend of mine complete this game in less than 6 hours. I was impressed by the speed he had done it in, but I don't know, the game just felt flat to me and really lacks atmosphere.
Super NES: 1992/09/24 | Virtual Console: 2007/03/23 | My score: 3/5.
Another Nintendo franchise I never played before I got the Wii. Great game, nice puzzles and setting and challenging boss fights. However, I have yet to finish it.
Super NES: 1994/07/28 | Virtual Console: 2007/10/12 | My score: -
A great platformer, but for me, it's just lacking. The music is not that spectacular and gameplaywise it's not that much of an improvement over Super Mario Bros. 3. Good overall, but not the best platformer ever.
Super NES: 1992/06/04 | Virtual Console: 2007/02/09 | My score: 4/5.
I just view this as an expansion pack for the original SMB, and first played it when it was included with Super Mario Bros. DX for the Game Boy Color. Nice game, but not the leap you'd expect a sequel to take from the original.
FDS: 1986/06/03 (J) | Virtual Console: 2007/09/14 | My score: 3/5.
Amazing story and gameplay, great characters and an unforgettable story make this the greatest 3D Zelda game ever made.
Nintendo 64: 1998/12/11 | Virtual Console: 2007/02/23 | My score: 5/5.
Not great like the first SMB for the NES, and a bit too hard to beat nowadays. Luckily I was able to lay my hands on the GBA remake which was pretty charming in it's own way and kinda sold me on the game.
