I haven't started up anything seriously since Donkey Kong, but I did finally clean and test out a number of 3DS and DS games I bought before my visit with family. On 3DS, I played a tiny bit of Steel Diver, Bust-A-Move Universe, and Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why'd you steal our garbage?!! (That's exactly how the box of Adventure Time has the title written out, missing punctuation and capitalization and all.) Gotta say, I find the humor of Adventure Time absolutely insufferable. Just the art style and vibe of it always made me think the cartoon would definitely not appeal to me, and if the game is representative of the humor in the show, then that seals the deal. I'm just way too old for this kind of millennial/zoomer humor, haha. (Though, I'm a xennial, so depending on what cut off point you wanna use, some would claim I'm a millennial myself.) But a Zelda II homage from WayForward? I'm potentially down with that. Steel Diver is interesting, but I can see why many people don't dig it. Bust-A-Move Universe seems like a pretty barebones rendition of Puzzle Bobble. Not even a Vs. CPU mode?

On DS, I briefly played Style Savvy, Theme Park, Mario Party DS, Super Mario 64 DS, and Cooking Mama. There's something very appealing about DS games that have you flip them and hold them like an open book to play, as is the case with Style Savvy. I have a couple other DS games like that, and it still feels really cool. Cooking Mama doesn't seem quite as fun as Ore no Ryouri, but that game set a high bar. Super Mario 64 is great in any form, but I still have a hard time playing it with anything but a standard N64 controller.
