Mario's Tennis on Virtual Boy was actually quite a good game. I'm glad a few people voted for it in the first round. I remember renting a Virtual Boy (I forget where from... wouldn't have been Blockbuster yet) and playing Mario's Tennis and Pinball for hours. I thought it was a pretty rad little system!

Man... is there a Virtual Boy emulator for any of the PC VR systems?

I wanted to like March of the Minis, but it never really stuck with me. Just felt like a less-good Lemmings.

Yoshi is a sweet little block-puzzler on NES. I find it harder than Tetris and Dr. Mario—kind of similar to Wario's Woods in the sense that it's just not as intuitive as the two big hits, so harder to get used to or harder to get a knack for the strategies or something.

I do like Yoshi for NES, I played it a good amount on 3DS when there wasn't much to play. Mario Maker 3DS feels redundant compared to MM WiiU that has online sharing. 3DS version does have some fun offline levels though.

Yoshi is the only game here worth my vote. It's a fun little puzzle game.
