Portfolio question. Two games enough?
Personally I try to keep 3 - 4 projects on my portfolio, but I think the amount of work you contributed matters more than anything.
You need to add more details about what you did on the projects. You say a custom engine was made, what did you do on it? Can you add any source code to show off your work?

Thank you, I added some notes of what my part was.

Best to limit it to things that are done i think and not to clutter it up with things half finished. If you have something cool that you think would fit make it look final first and then put it up.
And please drop wix. Get a custom domain. Setting up a website on a webhost cost next to nothing these days and it's really easy. Use wordpress if you do not wish to think about it.

One more question. I am currently working on a 2D game which should be done next week. Is it OK ta add that to the portfolio even if the graphics are stolen (but retouched) from nintendo games? My portfolio is based on my ability to code, not to create graphics.
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
And... NO.
Make your graphics from the start then and let it be ugly. Do not use copyrighted material.

You probably should take DUDVims suggestion, but I used sprites from Metal Slug and it was fine for me, but keep in mind that I live in a country that piracy is pretty common.
