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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year 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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year 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.

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 1 year ago

Bro yes, ff3 and Chrono trigger are amazing. Love replaying them

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Super Mario World will always be my go-to.

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

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

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

Oot and MM are always fun to replay

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year 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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The classics like Super Metroid, Turtles In Time, F-Zero and Link to the Past are always on rotation but I always love to pop on Cybernator (aka Assault Suits Valken) for a good run and gun mech time. Time Trax is another one not mentioned often but is nostalgic for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ice Hockey and Golf. Both fantastic.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Ocarina of Time A Link to The Past Mario 64 Super Mario World Smash 64

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

Gotta be Star Fox 64 for me

Username checks out.

Yoshi's Island on SNES

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Apparently Pikmin 1 if that counts as a classic. Played it first last week, and it’s been amazing. Got the rest of the series straight after.

If that doesn’t count, I still regularly play Super Mario 64, which is one of my all time favorite games period.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year 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] 0 points 1 year ago

Super Mario RPG Super Metroid Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 and 3.

Beat those games so many times.
