Alright. I won a sealed game lot recently and was thinking I might want to unseal and play one of them.

Are any of the following good and fun to play or are they trash that is fit to only sit on my shelf and accrue value?:

Tales of Symphonia Remastered
Kirby RTD Delux
Pokemon Brilliant Diamond
Triangle Strategy
Super Mega Baseball 4
Kirby Star Allies
Sonic Mania
Sonic Forces
Mario Tennis Aces
Wario Ware: Get It Together
Pokemon Sword (lol this is a double, already have it sealed)
The Smurfs Village


Edit: Oh no, I googled Tales and the port sucked. That was the one I was thinking of most.

The two Kirby games are both good; more so if you like Kirby and less so if you dislike easy games. Wario Ware is solid fun. And Mario Tennis was alright but try the demo. I think the Pokemon Diamond remake was okay? If you get it for free it is probably great.

Most of the Nintendo first-party games should have a demo you could try. At the very least it is worth checking to see.

The tennis game is fun if you're playing with someone else; the AI is as braindead as it's always been.

Sonic Mania is inoffensive and kind of great if you're really into the old 2D Sonic games. Forces is basically another dumpster fire.

Pokemon is exactly what you'd expect, Sword is an bit of an dud with an few great soundtracks.

Triangle Strategy is something that I kind of wanted; but some of the endings and characters are fucking retarded; but you also have the option to set your own village on fire, so there's that. But the combat is fairly solid.

The tennis one is okay if you enjoyed the previous ones. It looks pretty enough; you just need to look past the gimmicky bullshit. The story mode isn't incredibly deep but you can kill an evening or two with it.

Kirby RtDL DX is one of the best games in the entire series, Star Allies is good too but it doesn't compare. Sonic Mania is also one of the best in its series, Forces is mediocre at best. WarioWare is at least good for a single playthrough, you'll know immediately whether or not you like it. Tennis is fine. Brilliant Diamond is kinda bad by Pokemon standards, Sword is really bad by Pokemon standards.

 

[NerdShamer]

Sword is really bad by Pokemon standards.

Honestly, it's more of an example of how Game Freak can cut out nearly all of the mildly interesting stuff and people will still buy it en masse. Although, in this case, it managed to be the second highest in terms of units sold. But I think Scarlet and Violet might be on track to surpassing it

From what I have played of the list:

Mario Tennis Aces is bad. It tries to be an E-Sport version of Mario Tennis and is fairly weak on content. Maybe it has gotten better since the updates, but the initial game was super boring, had barely any characters, pretty bland stages and no real side content. The mechanics and story mode give it a boost against Ultra-Smash, but I would not recommend it.

Kirby Star Allies is painfully generic and short. As a long time Kirby fan, the game was clearly rushed in comparison to the previous 3 nu-Kirby titles. Levels felt devoid of life and the game was only 4 worlds long in comparison to the usual 8. I believe there are more levels, but many are just remixes. The usual side content just feels tedious in this one as it is mostly relegated to replying the whole game but with every ally, each given a unique level, but still.

Sonic Forces was bad, but it was so bad I had some fun with it. It is usually like $10 now, which is worth it for the joke. In comparison, Sonic Mania is great and a definite recommend for a classic Sonic experience.

WarioWare is great, tons of variety, great microgames, etc..

Kirby RTD Deluxe is a remake of Kirby's best title, so definite keep.

Tales’ port sucked,

RTD Deluxe is fantastic and definitely worth playing (though might be a bit too easy if you’re more fond of challenges),

Brilliant Diamond is dogshit that’s noticeably worse than emulating the original game on DesMuMe (graphics are awful, soundtrack is bad, far glitchier, no improvements from the third version- Platinum- which makes the very flawed foundation incredibly hard to enjoy),

I haven’t played Triangle Strategy but from what I can tell it’s alright,

No comment on the Baseball title other than it sounds like shovelware,

Star Allies is one of the worst mainline Kirby titles and is braindead easy but I truly think the updates it got down the line made it worth it and the lore bits were appreciated (tl;dr: slogging through the main campaign, which sucks but is over with quickly enough, makes it worth it),

Sonic Mania is a godsend for Sonic fans and alright for everyone else; not worth it if you’re not autistic and don’t enjoy gameplay that typically amounts to “replay this level 1000 times so you can beat it very smoothly and quickly”,

Sonic Forces is hilariously bad to the point where you might get a few laughs out of it but those laughs will probably subside after the two-hour runtime,

Tennis Aces is bad and bland, it’s acceptable as a tennis game but hardly screams “Mario” and is mostly good if you want a normal tennis game with some Mario paint on it,

Get It Together I also haven’t played but I’ve heard it’s alright, better as co-op,

Sword is a travesty only rivaled by the newest games (which have reached questionably-playable levels of broken), maybe worth it if it was free but terminally boring and content-bare, DLC is abso-fucking-lutely not worth it,

Smurfs Village sounds like a mobile-game port turned shovelware

 

[whatever I feel like]

Smurfs Village is actually Smurfs: Mission Vileaf. Metacritic says its a very generic platformer. Definitely not playing that over Kirby.

It always fascinates me how often criticisms of Sonic boil down to "this game is bad because I'm bad at it".

 

[Anonitolia]

It always fascinates me how often criticisms of Sonic boil down to "this game is bad because I'm bad at it".

I’m not saying the game is bad, I’m saying it’s not worth it
Because the gameplay does in fact boil down to “repeat this over and over to git gud”
It’s a good sonic game, definitely, and even for people who don’t enjoy sonic there are some scant moments of fun where you’re just blasting through levels hardly touching the controller
But the game is cater-made for speedrunning autists, as the entire classic series was, so if you’re not a speedrunning autist you likely won’t get much out of it

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

I think I get the criticism though. You're encouraged to go fast, and the level design has never been conducive to that, often actually punishing it until you've memorized stages enough to make playing it feel good.

They're still great games but designed sort of counterintuitively. To beat a stage quickly you're going to have to replay it, that's just how it is.

It's only punishing if you have poor reaction time and don't know how to deal with hazards. If you see an enemy in front of you and don't attempt to roll through it/jump over it/look three feet in front of you at what immediately follows, then yeah, you're going to take damage. Just like how holding right+run in a Mario game is careless, sometimes you need to look at what's in front of you instead of trying to brute force your way through everything. Actually, scratch that; brute forcing in classic Sonic is less risky than other platformers since there are always branching paths, and you're incentivized to stay on a higher path - away from pits - because it's not only safer, but usually offers better rewards. Not to mention actually getting hit is much less punishing since you only need one ring to stay alive.

But yes, you are required to memorize the layout layouts in order to speedrun and get the best times. That also applies to nearly every other 2D platformer ever made. And just like with those, speedrunning is never a requirement; your only requirement aside from finding emeralds is "get to the end of the level".

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

Not to mention actually getting hit is much less punishing since you only need one ring to stay alive.

I feel like that was added out of necessity, I don't agree poor reaction time is the sole (or even main) issue with taking damage, enemy/hazard placement is. You can deal with it all if you move like a snail but nobody wants to do that in Sonic.

your only requirement aside from finding emeralds is "get to the end of the level".

Sure, in a strictly technical sense, but people want to go fast because it's fun and it's the theme of the game. I don't agree it's always a skill issue that people get hit or slow down.
