Game 37 - Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
I’ve waited a very long time for this game, and I’m choosing to judge it for what it is more than what it isn’t. Flaws aside, there’s a good game here that does some cool things with the Metroid mythos, all while looking gorgeous on Switch 2!

Game 36 - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
My first time revisiting this one in years. Prime 3 might be the most ambitious game on the Wii, taking full advantage of motion controls and incorporating multiple planets, a wider cast, and even voice acting. Worth your time if you have a good way to play it!

Game 35 - Luigi’s Mansion
Having never actually finished a run of this game before, I thought it would be a fun game on and around Halloween. It feels a little dated , but this game makes up for it in charm. I miss this era of Mario, where every side character had a distinct personality and story!

Game 34 - Pokemon Legends: Z-A
Pokemon feels like it has evolved at a glacier pace for years now. This game finally feels like a big step forward, thanks to a fresh battle system, solid pacing, and a lot of fun side-content. Easily one of my favorites in the 30 years I’ve been playing these games.

Game 33 - Keeper
I wasn’t sure what I was getting with Keeper, but I knew I wanted to see whatever Double Fine was cooking up. And it was great! It’s a beautiful journey filled with fun puzzles and creative imagery, and I think it’ll be great for fans of games like Limbo and the like.

Game 32 - Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Rita’s Rewind
Fortnite lit some MMPR nostalgia for me, and I decided to finally check this out. The source material is a GREAT fit for this kind of brawler, and I love the ways they incorporate the bikes and zords to give you breaks in the core gameplay.

Game 31 - Ghost of Tsushima: Iki Island Expansion
I loved the base game, but never started the expansion when it came to PS5. This turned out to be a great standalone experience, and a perfect appetizer for Yōtei next week!

Game 30 - Hollow Knight
This has been a long time coming. I bought and started it years ago, but never got back to it until recently. Truly one of the best Metroidvanias out there and I’m glad I finally gave it the time it deserves!

Game 29 - Pokemon Violet
What a perfect storm this was. Coming off a decent experience with Arceus and hyped for Z-A, I found this game for $10 shortly after it received a Switch 2 update. And what a game! Bummed I let a string of misses keep me from this for so long. Best Pokemon in a long time!
