The Princess and the Pauper game on the Gameboy was my first hand held console game.

Cooking MAMA (on Nintendo DS Lite)
Cooking Mama was one of my favourite games on the Nintendo DS Lite. I liked the idea of using the detachable pen in the games. As the gameplay in Cooking Mama were time limited, it made it more fun and exciting while cooking certain dishes. Nintendo 2006, Cooking Mama, video games, Nintendo DS Lite. Viewed 8, March, 2021.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
It was only very recently that I had the chance to properly play Mario Kart because I had purchased a Nintendo switch. I really like the different track courses as they are visually pleasing and interesting. Being able to choose your character and personalise your own racing kart is amusing. But I definitely understand the hype around this game! Nintendo 2017, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, video game, Nintendo Switch.
