Wario Land and Wario Land 2 are underrated games.

I played A Link to the Past for the first time ever earlier this year on the SNES Classic and I agree, it is the best Zelda game ever.

@hassun: WL 2 was my favorite GBC game, and I had Pokemon Silver and Pinball. I had so much fun discovering the alternative routes and the "secret 100%" ending where Wario cashes out all his treasure and keys at the Genie to buy a castle Far Far away so he can sleep in peace is the best possible ending for a guy that gets awoken by a loud monster alarm clock

When Gray Ham says stuff like "I don't understand how people can lose at Lumines, I really don't understand how it's possible", I want to throw a Bacon McPork at him.
