Still holds up quite well. Very accessible for an NES game and the color palette is very vibrant.

DuckTales
Fairly solid platformer. Really captures the spirit of the cartoon and can just be fun to pick up and play if a bit too short and if the pogo stick can be kinda finicky at times.

Jujutsu Kaisen
Pure shonen. Its narrative isn’t the best and at times can be quite frustrating, but its fights are spectacular and its characters are likeable enough that you want to see what happens with them.

Really don’t have a whole lot to say that everyone else hasn’t said already. It’s the best game in the Mario trilogy and one of the best on the NES. Anyone who hasn’t played it needs to.

Super Mario Bros. 2 (Replay)
Come to appreciate this game a lot more in recent times. I’d even say it’s better than the first game. The vertical platforming was a nice way to add on to the horizontal platforming introduced in the first game and the game is very fun to master.

Fantastic season. One of the best of the whole show I think. Highlights for me being Homer Badman, Treehouse of Horror V, And Maggie Makes Three, Lisa’s Wedding and Homer the Great.

Maybe it’s burnout from the fact that I just watched 226 Simpsons episodes almost back to back, but while Season 10 had higher highs than Season 9, the season overall felt like a drag.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the fact that enemies can hurt you while you’re walking through doors, and the fact that you respawn with 30 health, this game would actually be pretty great.

A sharp improvement over Season 1. Humor here is a lot funnier and the emotional moments are played up more. Highlights for me are Bart Gets an F, Lisa’s Substitute, The Way We Was, Itchy & Scratchy & Marge, and Brush With Greatness.
