I like Mario games a lot and I like RPGs a lot. However, Mario RPGs mostly haven't grabbed my attention for long, aside from the original SMRPG.

Final Fantasy VII

Super Mario Bros

Thanks for the Stretchmo reminder. I picked that up right before leaving for work. I completed all levels in Crashmo and Pushmo World and kinda forgot about this one.

Hopefully I havent forgotten anything else, since its likely too late now.

Super Mario Bros

Super Mario 64

So it looks like Fire Emblem Fates is still available in the US eShop. So I guess the early delisting was only for other regions.

I don't think FE Fates was going to be removed completely early, just that you couldn't buy the additional story paths. Perhaps they had some special thing set up to handle the story paths, which they wished to deprecate first as a trial, before removing everything else.

Later Trails games definitely auto unequip party members when they leave, as long as their quartz is equipable. I don't remember if the first Sky game did that, though.

Maybe one day I'll beat the first boss of Sonic 2 on Game Gear

I used the level select code a lot as a kid, in order to actually be able to play a lot of the levels. It's nice since the difficulty after the 1st boss isn't too bad.

Yeah, I don't use wikis for this series (or any story based series, like Phoenix Wright) for basically these reasons. The risk of getting spoiled is not worth whatever I was going to look up. I'm more comfortable with using a FAQ (while trying not to look at the table of contents), or searching message boards here if I have to, although both of those have their risks too. I'm willing to risk missing stuff in order to not be spoiled (and modern games are better about missables than older ones anyway).

That does sometimes mean I don't understand certain mechanics and strategies and things like that. I guess the further I get into a game, I may be more lenient about checking the boards here, since risk of getting spoiled goes down.

I tried to be pretty thorough in my playthrough of the Sky 1 and 2, but I did miss a few secret quests which meant missing out on max bracer level. I'm okay with that - still better than using a guide.

Yeah I read that I need to get to chapter 6 in Fire Emblem Fates before I can buy the DLC
At first I was kinda annoyed at it because I didn't plan on playing it now and I didn't want to start and ruin my future playthroughs with spoiling myself
But then I thought about it...how long would it take to get there, skipping all text and cutscenes and playing on the easiest difficulty? probably less than an hour

I did this and it took me 2 hours, not skipping text or anything. I think I could buy the story paths before chapter 6, with the NA version, but might be different for other regions. The non-story path DLC is only available with 6. I just picked up the one or two free ones.

Was kinda waffling back and forth on whether I wanted to by Revelation or not, but decided to get it, since an entire story path is a good value for money, and it's not available otherwise (for less than hundreds of dollars). Jury's out on whether I play it much though. I think that's the only DLC for any 3DS/Wii U game I've proactively gotten "just in case".

Portal 2

Dunno if this is a weird opinion but SMG2 > Portal 2 > Portal > SMG.

Mario

Incidentally, voted Portal > SMG in the other one.

I thought of both of these as one long game, more or less and thought as a unit it was really good. I thought GAA1 was fine for what it was - it wasn't meant to be a standalone game, and works perfectly well in its place.
