Perhaps a bit cheaty, but a last minute addition in the form of Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again. I beat this game back on DSi, but I transferred it to my 3DS and never beat it again. But it's short, it's pretty fun, so I figured "Eh, why not. An easy last-minute addition to my list for this year." Shameless? Perhaps, but hey, a game beat is a game beat.
This is still a solid puzzler. I remember thoroughly enjoying this title as a kid, but I do have to admit it's not as glamorous playing it again nowadays. Overall the game plays fine. The puzzles are clever and fun to navigate. I do have to admit I found it getting tedious near the end, but that was more out of my own lack of patience than the game itself. You just need to clearly plan out your plan in advance, which I often didn't 100% do. Again though, my fault, not the games. If you're looking for a simple, short puzzle game to try out, or want to try the series at a cheap price, Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! is a great entry point.
So that's 37!

This is most likely going to be my number for the year. I have to admit, 37? I'm quite proud of myself. Now I know this is a pretty unfair ranking. A lot of the games on here are really short, and some people may not even count some of these. But hey, I'm not in this for any serious numbers. I just do this to get myself to play all my games, and get a neat little list on the side. It's fun to look back on what you played throughout the year. Overall I'm quite happy with how this turned out, and I think I may just join in again throughout 2018. Thanks for introducing me to this idea guys!
