I will definitely check out Yars Rising. And I'm glad to finally have an explanation of Bakeru! I've seen that mentioned a few times. But congrats to Zelda! A well-deserved win, it sounds like. But if you get a chance to play Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, give it a try! It is still probably cheap.
I will do that! I've heard the name mentioned but I don't know much about it.
Star Fox Guard was a boxed game but was not sold by itsef. It came packaged with Star Fox Zero. I heard it got super cheap on the secondhand market after the Switch came out. Like, people were buying multiple copies from GameStop just to have back up Wii U game cases.
I'll be sure to read your awards blog!
I am hoping to get this collection, mainly for MvC2, but it would be fun to go through the games in chronological order and see what changed game to game.
And another layer is added to the Master Plan onion!
You can do it! Let go! See the ending!
Your list seems pretty spot on. I've bought all the Mario & Luigi games (sans remakes) up until Brothership but have not played Dream Team or Paper Jam yet. So I will probably get Brothership eventually because I do love this series. I remember being annoyed with some aspect of Partners in Time but can't remember what exactly anymore. I do think Bowser's Inside Story is the best but Superstar Saga is close behind it.
Hopefully that keeps you busy all month. It would be interesting to see the evolution of a certain type of game like that.
My gosh, I cannot imagine playing I Am Bread on an iPad. The controls are hard enough on the PS5. I tried the first level and the quirky awkwardness of the controls didn't bother me. That's just how the game is, right? It's unique and almost endearing. Then I needed to get into the toaster at the end of the level and that was SO HARD. I decided right there to not continue with the rest of the game (even though I did eventually get into the toaster). The game is a silly novelty but too finicky for my tastes.
