Damn there's a lot of GG games I would play. I've had the pleasure of playing a few of these fortunately.

There's a field outside my apartment with hills, trees, and pathways that reminds me all the time of Hyrule Field from Ocarina of Time.

@ArcadianLegend99 EXACTLY what I was thinking. I'd be glad to see the original on NSO N64. I got my hopes up when I saw Treasure's Sin & Punishment, but then I forgot Nintendo published that game.

I was just thinking about how somebody needs to remake and balance this game out so kudos to them for doing this. It's just too bad that Nintendo doesn't have love for this iteration of Zelda. Maybe we'll get a remake one day.

I got excited for a sec and thought I saw "Astanax" in the title.

Most of this game is broken-- I never played a game I enjoyed playing more in concept that the actual execution as this one. I wish someone would remake and rebalance it.

I mastered the timing so I don't get it. Further I mastered the timing of the slot machine of the original SMB2 to get 3 cherries constantly, what about that?

Frasier point and click would be fine for me but this works.

I wonder what the demo games are.

I'm still waiting for a continuation of the Final Fight series since we're in the mood to resuscitate ALL the beat'em ups of that era. I won't rule this one out, but I'll need a review first.

I love me some history. That's why I'm so thankful that Hamster did the work of getting Donkey Kong on the Switch as you will never see Nintendo re-release it themselves due to what was explained above.

@Burning_Spear That makes a couple of us.

This was the question that was being raised when 3D and polygons became all the rage in the 32/64bit generation. Yet, sprites/hand drawn video games still exist and still have appeal. I'm not exactly sure his context, but I don't believe every game is good hand-drawn just like I don't believe every game is good with polygons. A designer stylizes a game in a certain format and hopefully it works for what the designer is trying to capture. If a game is a bad game, it's not going to matter what it looks like. Viable lies in the game play ultimately.

Crazy, you just never know where people get their starts.

I have always had a quiet love for Sunsoft games. I hope they can release as many unreleased games as possible as well as continue to bring back their back catalog of released games into the future.

Ghostbusters anything... Yes lol

It was the Arcades around '84 thereabouts, and it was either Donkey Kong or Pac-Man that I played first, but I believe it was the latter.

My favorite F-Zero. I really miss the custom car I created-- It required high skill to drive, but if you could, there was no turn/curve you couldn't take at high speed. If I could have just one more F-Zero in my life, with online, I'd need nothing more, and considering the GCN had online capabilities (albeit limited support), it just barely missed its chance. I can only hope for a future F-Zero, but considering all that's in MK8D, I really don't think Nintendo is even trying to make one any time soon.

I hope they get a chance to release arcade Rampage, Pole Position, Double Dragon 3, and Track & Field II to name a few. There's a couple of others that I know are next to impossible for them to appear, and that's Ms Pac-Man, Pac-Man Jr, and Q*bert. I can dream at least.

At the time I already loved geography, so mixing that with Mario made me the perfect target audience back then. It was also fun the fact that Luigi was the main star and that Mario and company were stumping around the real world-- something that was popularized in the Super Mario Bros Super show, Super Mario Bros 3 cartoon, the live-action Super Mario Bros movie, and now the animated Super Mario Bros movie.

She taller than me that's all that matters.

I actually do remember the title of this game back in the day and that is about all I can say about it. I had no idea what this game was like but I would love to take a shot at it. As I look back through past systems I've played, looking at games that I hadn't played or missed, it turns out that the Game Boy and Game Boy Color have a lot more games I missed out on then I originally thought. I'll keep an Asterix by this one.

Ah yes, when Conker was a good squirrel.

Poor Goemon. I had some surprisingly good fun, and l the world of Goemon became quite endearing to me. Hopefully someone will bring it back around.

Well isn't that just NANDy. My things are packed, I'm leaving, goodbye.

It isn't a specific place, but when I've come across grassy fields with a sparse population of trees, I'm automatically drawn back to Hyrule Field from Ocarina of Time. It's that feeling of "okay, time to cross this field!" that I feel.

Looking good! Shooting all the things is coming along!

I hate the pricing. At least the first collection is on GameFly, hopefully this will follow suit.

I never got around to playing this last generation so I'll keep an eye out for it.

I feel that Metroid's place in shifting from 2D to 3D is that it's one of gaming history's most surprisingly, shockingly, successful transitions. So many people were doubting that Metroid Prime was going to be any good at all back then and everyone was blown away, supporter or naysayer. I'll never forget when I first played it, I couldn't believe how well it just clicked-- But it did.

Bullet hell. Whelp, lost me. Hopefully it has something for the non-bullet hell shmup lover...

I'm picking on the least important thing, but calling a cartridge a "tape" reminds me of what my dad used to call my NES games lol. I was like, "but there's no tape in them like a VHS." Memories...

So many lost games from the SNES era from Square... It seems like there's always another one. I would actually consider playing this. Now if only the "found" game of Terranigma can "find" it's way to NA for a proper release that would be great.

I'm amazed at how well time has treated the GameCube controller. When it first came out I can't tell you how much people were hating a complaining about that controller. I really surprised that it's gained so much love over the years. It actually wasn't as bad at controller as many people made it out to me.

I played this before I ever played Secret of Mana, and I'm glad I played it in that order. The mysterious adventure feel, coupled with some hauntingly memorable music at times, really spoke to my 16 bit teenage years. Definitely worth a look for anyone curious. It's not the greatest in the world, but its left it mark. Give it a go, especially if you like Secret of Mana.

Interesting read! Now that I recall, I had to show one of my friends way back when the GCN first launched, so yeah, some people didn't know.

I guess if Diddy Kong Racing is on the shelf til further notice, they could always make them secret characters in, I guess, MK9. I miss Timber.

Wow... Big part of my life gone, just like that. RIP and thanks for the memories.

One day Evercade... One day I will make that leap...

What a horrible night to have gone to Romania.

Great article. I don't know why, but I have a strange feeling we will get a HD-2D Chrono Trigger remake. It's time for a grand return of that game and it deserves much more than a cut and paste port.

I need a Final Fight 4, and it can even be done by the SoR4 team for all I care.

Man I NEED this system!

I still want the Evercade. A collection I'd like to see would be Broderbund and Kemco-Seika. For the former, Guardian Legend and Battle of Olympus need to be on it. For the latter Shadowgate, Deja Vu (Was there a 2?), and Uninvited (didn't this also have a part 2?) need to be there.

I'm guessing TMNT and Ghostbusters are in there-- Game Genie was my only way to see those endings lol

I'm really in love with this system, and I normally don't get enthralled with retro systems. I simply have to get the handheld and likely will get the VS so I can play on the TV.

More Valis?! Jeez I REALLY need to get an Evercade.

I keep forgetting to pick up this system. I'll wait to see what the VS is all about first.

I feel two ways about the game. Through all the mishap of SFA's creation, I surprisingly enjoyed the game if nothing for the fact it expanded the SF canon as I always wanted Fox to visit new worlds, which may call for him to exist the Arwing at times. The biggest prob I had back then was the constant delays from when it was just Dinosaur Planet on N64 and the unfortunate transitions it undertook.

If it gets me closer to Skies of Arcadia in any way I'm down.
