Ultimate Gamejustice (#1)

The two games were originally meant to be three, but they couldn't get the password nonsense to work. They were also a lot of fun, but not groundbreaking. Always interesting to see Nintendo hand the reins to someone else, like with Capcom on those guys.

I had both I'm honestly not sure I beat either!
 
I have a feeling that Angel of Darkness is going to be one of the higher ones despite being the lowest score critical. I'd rank it higher for the icon that is Janice alone.

Please allow me the indulgence of posting my Janice pop-art fanart.

Not even ten eliminations in and we've already seen Pokémon, Zelda and Mario? Ruthless. This was the very first Mario platformer released on a handheld console and phew, can you say glo-up? Sometimes less is more though, and the sheer simplicity of this game means that someone was able to make a gif of the entire first level, so, enjoy!

Oh wow. I mean, this is one of the lesser Mario games in the canon, but as you said, it just feels weird to have something Mario related leave this early. Personally, the Game Boy was the first console, hand-held or otherwise, I ever owned, and of course I played Super Mario Land until my fingers bled.

And a big Kandy Ho WTF at the fact that the only point for this comes from @bakerboy92, who I guess WASN'T EVEN BORN WHEN IT WAS RELEASED.

It's not so weird, is it? I doubt even the biggest series like Mario, Zelda and Final Fantasy will have every single game make the list, let alone all of them doing well.

Many a night was spent playing Singstar 80s and Singstar ABBA! I didn’t include any Pokémon games on my list but if I were to include one it would’ve been the first Stadium game for the mini games alone, my sister played those almost exclusively together. I’d always get my ass handed to me in the digging one. The Clefairy game always freaked me out when you messed up to many times and lost, I think it was the losing jingle that scared me dddd.

I hope Super Mario Land 2 makes its way onto this list somehow if the first one managed to snag a vote. It improved from the first game in so many ways, and the levels and worlds are still so unique for any 2D Mario game. I wish I had chucked it onto my list now.

I can’t remember if I remembered to vote for anything Zelda, although I imagine it will have plenty of representation regardless.

Yep, that's objectively true. If Super Mario Land hadn't appeared in this rate at all, I also would not have noticed, probably. I agree with @nikkysan though, if Super Mario Land managed to get a point, the sequel should have at least...two.

I’m not entirely sure why, but I loved this game as a kid. I was never that into first person shooters, but this game mixed stealth and exploration into it so well. It was such a great adventure.

(I'm aware this is from a much later game but the only gif I can find from the original is of a glitch and I don't wanna be shady ddd)

Whew, back with a bang - the first cut from one of the big franchises! I have literally no knowledge of this game besides the fact that it had a pointless Pokémon-style dual release with Oracle of Ages - thankfully no one voted for that so I didn't have to navigate that complication. Small mercies. Hopefully some of you guys can fill in the details, 'cause imma let this cute gif do the talking:

YES! I am so glad someone at least voted for this game, they were on my long list. The Oracle games are amazing and Seasons would be my pick of the two, the Rod of Seasons is my favorite gameplay mechanic. Definitely pick them up if 2D Zelda interests you as they are both on the 3DS VC and really fun.

With the passwords (they are not really essential but) basically you trade them between the two to unlock items and expand on the story for the true final boss.

I feel like it's not a huge spoiler to say that we'll encounter several Fire Emblem games in the future - poor Radiant Dawn is just the unlucky first one to fall. It does have a cute blue-haired twunk protagonist though, not every JRPG has that. Almost, but not all.

Urgh, this game is so rare and I'm not about to play £100 for it. [/salt]
