The Pinnacle of Mario's Legacy
Super Mario 64... one of the greatest Mario games of all time. Probably one of the best games of all time period. I don't know where to begin with this game's review. A great multitude of positive comments have been said about this game, I might even repeat some of these comments. To officially begin this review, we are going back to where Mario's legacy began; 30 years ago...
By 1985, the video game franchise was greatly failing. The sales dropped by about 97% between the years 1983-85. All thanks to Atari and Intellvision, video games were going to cease to exist. However, in 1985, a console was released, and not just any console. This console was destined to save gaming and will be forever remembered for it's games. This console was the Nintendo Entertainment System (a.K.A. The NES). This console was very successful for having really good graphics for it's time, the most iconic soundtracks in gaming, some of the greatest games of all time, and all the joy that comes with it. BUT, I think the main reason to this console's success is one game: Super Mario Bros. We all know the game, happy and catchy soundtrack, basic storyline, and fun gameplay. This game also introduced Mario, the most iconic character in gaming (ignoring Pac-man of course). This game ended up being one of the most top-selling games of all time, and what followed it was history.
Let's fast forward a bit, shall we? How about the year 1996? Okay? *fast forwards to 1996* In this year, Mario success only grew. He gained not only popularity, but several spin-offs and cameo's, his own TV show and movie, a legit rival (Sonic the Hedgehog), and kids were as familiar with him as they would be with Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny. At this time (correct me if I'm wrong), Nintendo announced that they were making a 3-dimensional Mario game. This may have led to many skeptical people.

Fire Emblem Review
When I first played this game, I was expecting a game that would be difficult to play on. But I was wrong. This game was the best GBA game I've ever played on since Pokémon Emerald. The story is beautiful, you have characters that are easy to make connections with, the game play is simple, the game makes you think, and it's very age appropriate. The only issue I have with the game are the below average graphics. That is all.
