I thought about reviewing Kentucky Route Zero but I decided to review another Annapurna game instead: Wattam.

Smash on 3DS is quite good.  I do like the Wii U version slightly better mainly because of graphics, but the 3DS version is no slouch.

I have to renew my ID this year as well because in Texas we have to have these star things on IDs and driver's licenses to make them official, so I have to get my original birth certificate and possibly another form of ID and take half a day or more off of work to sit at the DMV.  I'd complain about all the hoops I have to go through for this, but if I did I'd sound politically incorrect so I think I'll just keep my mouth shut about that.

I have that Art and Artifacts book, too, as well as Hyrule Historia.

I never played this on the SNES, but I always wanted to.  Looked really good.  But my movie rental place either didn't have it or it was always out.  Can't remember.  But I wasn't about to pay full price for it.  I did play it years later on the Wii Virtual Console and it was pretty good.  Neat music and graphics.

I'm not really big into strategy games, but I did give this one a try.  I got it for Christmas the year it came out.  While I didn't finish it, I could tell it was a quality game.

I passed on reviewing this one.  Didn't seem like a good fit for me.

Here's the games on your list that I like.  So you should play them first. :)

Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

Okami

Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

Viewtiful Joe

Paper Mario

As far as Paper Mario games go, the best one is the GameCube sequel: The Thousand Year Door.

I don't like how Amano draws people, but I LOVE how he draws monsters!  That's why I really like the older FF games because the still shots of the monsters in the games are based on his artwork.

Oh man, I have so many memories with this game.  My brother Jeff and I have a history with it.  We actually owned this game, but we got it on sale from a movie rental place that was closing down.

So when the SNES was big, my brother Jeff was just a toddler.  But he still enjoyed watching me play games on the SNES.  Since I was big into RPGs at the time, he loved to watch me play games like "Chwono Twigger" and "Mario PG" as he called them.  He also really liked Donkey Kong Country.  In fact, "Donkey Kong' was one of Jeff's first words!  And poor Jeff cried at the end of Super Metroid when he watched me beat it, because he was sad about the baby Metroid.

But as he got a little older, we wanted to find some games we could play together.  Which was a little harder back then.  Sure games like Smash TV and Contra 3 had two player modes, but they were a little too hard for a four year old like him (and for me, too, to be honest).  Luckily we did find a few.  Our favorite was probably Kirby Super Star, but we also spent a heck of a lot of time with Turtles in Time.  Only problem is that when we would play, if I accidentally got one of the pizzas, Jeff would whine, "Mooooommmmm!  Cary got the pizza!"  So it was really hard to play the game when I couldn't recover my health!  But we beat it several times anyway somehow.  And give Jeff a break, he was only four. 

We still joke about "Moooommmm!  Cary got the pizza!" to this very day!
