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?
Super Mario 3, there is just something into it that I just keep coming back to.
- 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.
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.
Super Mario World will always be my go-to.
Does Pokemon count? Because that’s forever going to be my jam.
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.
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
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.
Earthbound and Super Metroid. Though I’ve enjoyed the randomizers for Metroid more than the original game anymore.
Too many to list but here’s a few:
Zelda
Zelda 2
Mario 3
Mega Man 2
TMNT 2— SNES —
Mario world
Zelda LTTP
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 3 (6)Bro yes, ff3 and Chrono trigger are amazing. Love replaying them
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.
It really is a treat. I still have my cartridge with the original save battery inside. Gonna fail at some point but hasn’t yet.
Zelda
- Link’s Awakening
- ALttP
- Oracle series
Mario
- Paper Mario
- Super Mario World
Other
- Golden Sun
- Mario Tennis (Gameboy Color)
- Metroid Fusion
- Super Smash Bros 64 / Melee
- Rogue Squadron 2 and 3
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.
Mario kart Wii
Pikmin 1
Super Mario galaxy
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
Ocarina of Time A Link to The Past Mario 64 Super Mario World Smash 64
