This was fucking hard. I tend to play whatever i desire and don't focus on dates, and most games i buy nowadays go into the backlog and play them months later (im only planning on playing Mario Bros Wonder now lol), which is why i cannot decide on a 2025 game yet. You might notice that Burnout 3 sticks out in such a Nintendo centric list, and that is because i originally wanted to put the Minish Cap in here, but Burnout 3 left such a good impression that it CRASHED onto the list and took down Minish Cap. (Keep in Mind i only played Burnout 3 This month for the first time, many of the games on this list were played YEARS after they were released, but those were the games released during those years so i counted them)

There are many games i considered including such as Undertale and Ori and the Blind Forest, but i played the ports and re-releases that came years later, and it made things more complicated than necessary so i decide to exclude re-releases, compliations, remakes and all things related.

Notice how i put Shadow Generations instead of SONIC X Shadow Generations, and that is because i consider the latter large enough to count as its own game.

I don't even know how to approach this. I'd have to map out 35 years of personal gaming history. Gahhhh

I have approached nonetheless, a little more mapping from the trace program.
I'm also very glad I'm not the only grandpa
