Since they announced the remake of Super Mario RPG, I've found myself playing the original again.

In fact, I have a few classics that I still play regularly.

  • Zelda ALttP
  • Super Metroid
  • Metroid Prime (Switch remaster is πŸ”₯)
  • Kirby Air Ride (City Trial is still my go-to party game with my 30 year old friends)
  • Super Mario 64

What about you guys?

I've never really stopped playing Super Mario World.

[–] redsol2 4 points 2 years ago

Mario World world map is like a Mario Kart track at this point. Every year we take another lap.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Do you play any rom hacks?

[–] TheLameSauce 10 points 2 years ago (2 children)

If I still had my 64 I'd break out paper mario once a year.

[–] _hauf 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Done this twice since Nintendo put it on the virtual console. Still such a fantastically funny and entertaining game.

[–] redsol2 4 points 2 years ago

Love the OG! I've heard Thousand Year Door is even better but I haven't gotten around to playing it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Emulate it! Project 64 is great, among others, I'm sure.

[–] inatsera 10 points 2 years ago

honestly, i'm always running so far behind on my backlog that i rarely get to replay games. mario world/mario 64 is what i replay when they get bumped into a new service

[–] Wolfiexo 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Super Mario 64! I love that game. It brings back so much memories.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm probably too young to have it as a childhood memory, but I play it now and then on emulators, it's such a great game

[–] Frankelton 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Does Pokemon count? Because that's forever going to be my jam.

[–] 4onTheFloor 4 points 2 years ago

Been playing since Red and Blue. I always go back to the remakes for HGSS. I think they were some of the best. While maybe not retro being remakes, I still say they belong.

[–] ComeHereOrIHookYou 6 points 2 years ago

Super Mario 3, there is just something into it that I just keep coming back to.

[–] iliketurtles 5 points 2 years ago

Ocarina of Time, Super Metroid, NBA Jam, NFL Blitz....I'll probably still be playing these when I'm in a nursing home lol

[–] justlookingfordragon 5 points 2 years ago
  • Secret of Mana 1+2
  • Terranigma
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Earthbound
  • ALttP

... for the SNES. Those were the games I grew up with and every other year I get the itch to replay one of those. I've considered playing the remake of SoM 2 but the demo felt bland and off to me.

On a related note, I would totally buy each of those for the Switch so I could play them on a proper handheld, but the current system with the yearly subscription that basically only rents those games to the end user and forces them to stay online, is something I find off-putting. I'd much rather just pay once and be done, like with every other game in the eShop.

[–] KotActually 4 points 2 years ago

I spend a lot of my time around classic games but man do I still sink a lot of hours into Mario Golf Toadstool Tour. The game is about to turn 20 so I've been playing through the cups/challenges again.

Shadow Mario is still one of the coolest unlockable characters m

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Too many to list but here’s a few:

Zelda
Zelda 2
Mario 3
Mega Man 2
TMNT 2

β€” SNES β€”
Mario world
Zelda LTTP
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 3 (6)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I recently finished playing through Chrono Trigger for the first time. Holy hell, what an amazing experience. Even after all these years, it holds up incredibly well.

Super Mario RPG has a pretty fun randomizer I'll sometimes go back for a run in. Been a while since I have, but with the remake coming up might get back into it.

[–] Baaron87 3 points 2 years ago

I don’t replay games too often due to life in general and time constraints. Made time earlier this year to go back through A Link to the Past and Donkey Kong Country. Considering going back and playing Ocarina of Time sometime soon

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Man, I played LttP for the first time last year, and what a fantastic game. Totally holds up, surprisingly great open world Zelda, with lots to do in lots of interesting orders.

Honestly, if BotW looked at Zelda 1 for inspiration, I hope the next Open World Zelda looks at LttP, for inspiration on how to spread lots of interesting abilities and dungeons through a compelling open world.

[–] specseaweed 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ice Hockey and Golf. Both fantastic.

[–] FlavorPacket 2 points 2 years ago

Ice Hockey was SO good! I still fire that one up from time to time.

[–] Snes 3 points 2 years ago

Super Mario World will always be my go-to.

[–] Boiglenoight 3 points 2 years ago

I’d like an F-Zero that captures the visual style of the 16-bit version. More cartoony / anime than realistic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Oot and MM are always fun to replay

[–] CatZoomies 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Always the classic, I often return to Golden Sun. While it's great that they're adding Golden Sun 1 to Switch Online for some new gamers to try out and experience for themselves, I'm hopeful they'll remaster the three games for Switch. If Advance Wars gets that treatment, I think younger generations should get to experience these games fleshed out on Switch.

For those who haven't played or heard of GS, it's a massive cult-classic JRPG that released on Game Boy Advance in 2001. The first 2 games are a beloved series, and they made a third one for the Nintendo DS some time in the mid 2000s.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

OoT/MM, SMB3, SMW, and the DKC trilogy

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

The first thing that came to mind was Excitebike but classic makes me think of 8-bit. Super Metroid if we're talking SNES though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Super Metroid and Super Marioa64 are masterpieces.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Tetris Attack on the SNES is still the best puzzle game ever

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

My favorite part was when you had an epic 2-player battle and the SNES cpu couldn't keep up so the framerate would dramatically drop, allowing you to make more and more advance moves ahead of the block drops. 15 minute rounds would last only like 9 in-game minutes.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I never see anyone talk about Tetris Attack, but I wholeheartedly agree. Definitely one of my favorite puzzle games.

[–] Dougas 2 points 2 years ago

The original super mario bros.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Mario 2, Mario World, Ocarina of Time, Super Mario Kart, and Double Dash

[–] tree_frog_and_rain 2 points 2 years ago

would love to do an OG Zelda playthrough with my kid and then try to beat the second quest

[–] Zoness 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Gotta be Star Fox 64 for me

[–] MassKirbycide 2 points 2 years ago

Username checks out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Earthbound and Super Metroid. Though I’ve enjoyed the randomizers for Metroid more than the original game anymore.

[–] roxas 2 points 2 years ago

Super Mario Bros 3 and Pokemon Crystal are games that I always come back to, so many memories.

Zelda Link to the past is on my list as well for sure. Super Mario World. Any of the Final Fantasy games for the Nintendo consoles.

[–] Water1053 1 points 2 years ago

I've had a lot of fun with Ship of Harkinian (PC decomp of OOT), lately. That being said, Majora's Mask continues to be my favorite Zelda game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

@redsol2 I always go back to the original Warioware on Game Boy Advance. I’ve probably beaten it 5 times at this point. I also used to replay Super Metroid yearly, though I fell out of that tradition last year due to November being a busy month, especially for video games.

[–] B0NK3RS 1 points 2 years ago

N64 and Gamecube still make an appearance but most of my old favourites are on SEGA consoles so they get the most love.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Metal Max Returns. Open world SNES game. Ride around in a tank that you can customize and upgrade. Fight monsters. Jump out of the tank and explore ruined skyscrapers. Quite fun.

Uncharted Waters: New Horizons. Open world SNES exploration game in the age of sail. Trading, piracy, or make money selling your discoveries.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Yoshi's Island on SNES

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

The Guardian Legend

Best NES game.
