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 🔥)
- 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?
- 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.
Super Mario 3, there is just something into it that I just keep coming back to.
Super Mario World will always be my go-to.
Does Pokemon count? Because that’s forever going to be my jam.
I’ve never really stopped playing Super Mario World.
Mario World world map is like a Mario Kart track at this point. Every year we take another lap.
Gotta be Star Fox 64 for me
Username checks out.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen it come up on any list, but growing up, I really loved Power Blade on the NES. Played it a couple of years back on an emulator, and it still gives me happy vibes.
Really wish it came to the Switch virtual console service.
would love to do an OG Zelda playthrough with my kid and then try to beat the second quest
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.
Ocarina of Time A Link to The Past Mario 64 Super Mario World Smash 64
Super Mario Bros 3 and Pokemon Crystal are games that I always come back to, so many memories.
Ice Hockey and Golf. Both fantastic.
Ice Hockey was SO good! I still fire that one up from time to time.
Super Mario RPG Super Metroid Donkey Kong Country 1, 2 and 3.
Beat those games so many times.
If I still had my 64 I’d break out paper mario once a year.
Done this twice since Nintendo put it on the virtual console. Still such a fantastically funny and entertaining game.
Love the OG! I’ve heard Thousand Year Door is even better but I haven’t gotten around to playing it.
