While the Nintendo 64 is my favorite console of all time, I would be doing myself and our readers a disservice if I told them that Paper Mario was my favorite N64 game. Heck, it wasn’t even my favorite RPG on the system. While critics raved about Paper Mario 22 years ago, I never found…

Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 2 Information Coming Later This Year
