When it comes to platformers, it’s hard not to think of either Super Mario Bros. or Nintendo. The Super Nintendo in particular was arguably defined best by its platformers (if not its JRPGs.)

Between the Super Mario All-Stars remakes, Super Mario World, and Yoshi’s Island, some of the best platformers on the SNES are Mario games....

Gaming trends have changed a lot since the days of the PS2, so to “hold up” also means the game is still fun to play when measured against modern classics....
There’s no denying that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is an addictive and exceptionally well-made game. It’s a title that’s easy to sink hours into through fishing, decorating and bug catching. With how gorgeous the game looks and just how relaxing it is to build up an island from scratch through steady grind and improvement, it’s no wonder it’s taken over the Internet. That being said, it’s a game that’s ever-changing, and which needs updates to balance things out as time goes by....
