With every Nintendo platform having a very early Mario title, it’s no surprise that within one year of the Wii’s release, Super Mario Galaxy graced our presences with a game that was….quite literally…out of this world! Taking a 3D Mario platformer like Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Sunshine and turning it into a spherical 3D platformer seemed kinda odd at first, but it turns out it was a very smooth transition considering. Now we have one of the greatest Mario games of all time, if not just one of the greatest games of all time.
I think it’s no secret I love Super Mario Galaxy, considering I love many Mario games in general, and truth be told, I was heavily considering this game for a very long time. But as usual, the timing never really felt right, especially considering at the time I hadn’t done Super Mario 64 or Sunshine yet. However, I wanted to make sure Galaxy was done this year in 2016. And sure enough, I was able to make it work.
Mega Man 7

When people think of Mega Man on the SNES, they think of the beginning of the Mega Man X series. However, the original series did have one game on the system too in the form of Mega Man 7. Dr. Wily finds a way to escape prison again and has started causing trouble all over the city. On top of that, a strange robot named Bass is also causing trouble. Time for Mega Man to get into action!
Not much to say here; I wanted to do a small project before Super Mario Galaxy started and I felt like Mega Man was the way to go, especially since my usual choice, Sonic, was already used the previous month. Kinda cool though that I’m almost done with the classic series. Although, that also means I may have to look into some other games of the series as well.
