302nd played so far Genre: Platform Platform: NES Year of Release: 1986 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo It seems ages since we last played a Mario game, with our limitations on the previous hundred, and our reluctance to do so after having played a lot of them in a short go while borrowing games.

299th played so far Genre: Adventure Platform: DS Year of Release: 2007 Developer: Cing Publisher: Nintendo As common as adventures are – their lack of action usually making it more playable for handheld gaming in particular – most of the bigger example tend to be a bit tongue in cheek, funny, and while they build […]

283rd played so far Genre: Action Platform: Game Boy Advance Year of Release: 2004 Developer: Nintendo SPD/Intelligent Systems Publisher: Nintendo Holding the cartridge for this game now, it’s clear why we had to import this from the US.
