What are your favorite games from the 2 systems, for example if you could go play any of the games today which would you pick?

Battle Toads.

[Baralis]

NES: Zelda and Dragon Warrior series.
SNES: P.T.O II and Romance of the three Kingdoms IV

[Desperado[1G]]

For the NES I would have to go with Super Tecmo Bowl, Zelda, and Metroid

For the SNES I would have to go with TMNT: Turtles in time, Chrono Trigger, Zelda: link to the past, Super Metroid, Mario Kart, Killer Instict, and Super Mario RPG

I shit a brick when bowser joined my party

[Kaorn]

The only game I remember is Donkey Kong Country

and vaguely some other I don't remember the titles for.

[Daccus]

I still play the two systems often, sometimes more often than my consoles and PC games put together. I'm almost due to play through Chrono Trigger and FFVI again, as well as Mario RPG. Super Punch-Out! for SNES is a lot of fun. I usually play through Flashback, Out of this World (Another World EU), Black Thorne, and Prince of Persia at least once a year. Earthworm Jim 1 & 2 for sure. Equinox was a fun game, very hard at times, too.

For NES, I'll occasionally go through Blaster Master, and Contra. I usually beat Super Mario Bros. 2 at least once a month to see how fast I can beat it. Castlevania anyone?

[Loadafreak]

Out of this World (Another World EU)

such a fun and weird game. Naked alien titties in the bathhouse ftw!

[Metal Wolf]

Nes: Duck Hunt!

SNES: Chrono Trigger, Seiken Densetsu 3, Starfox

[NewRage]

NES: The first dragon warrior game. Such good memories. I was literally playing that game before I could read. I had the dark dungeons memorized because I didn't know there was a spell that gave off light. The hardest part was the beginning when the king would tell the story, then ask if you wanted him to repeat it. I had no clue what it said so I just kept hitting 'a'.

SNES: Mario Kart (I think). Wasn't there a mario kart on the SNES, where it was hella easy to lap the other players and stuff? Or Mario RPG

Saga Frontier is a PSX game. The three Romancing SaGa games were on the SNES, but none of them released outside of Japan, is that what you're thinking of?

Same thing with Suikoden I and II.

[Attau]

I was a huge fan of the megaman series *shrug*.

Zelda games were always good too.

Indeed I did mean Romancing Saga, I was playing Saga Frontier at the time so my mind got a little jumbled.

and Suikoden I + II were both released in the US, but indeed they are PSX games.

Leave me alone, I am tired.

its only 3:30 in the morning buck up there are still 2 1/2 more hours before sunrise

5:01 AM and I've been up for about 41 hours total.

Sleep is overrated.

[Reikson]

Sleep is overrated.

No sleeping all at once is overrated, I sleep 2 hours 6-8 then 30 minutes every 3 hours. I also live in Anytown USA where I enjoy the cool evening breezes with my screen door.

[Reigngod]

I still have a working NES and like 200 games...

I really only play Zelda, and contra though.

[Crysill]

Battle Toads./thread, and so early on, too... What a shame.

[BlackVolgan]

mario paint, kirby, international cricket (that game owned)

[Suitepee]

Well since I still own a working NES...

Super Mario Bros 1. While 3 is good,the first is a simple time-filler and still fun to rush through and remember that Bowser's castle used to have those bastard repeating areas until you went the right path route bits.

Bubble Bobble as second. As hard as it is cuddly. Back in the days when games where both universally friendly and universally challenging.

For the SNES (which sadly no longer works for me) it'd have been DKC 1/2,Stunt Race FX and A Link To The Past.

[Vanno]

Shit, there were tons of great NES and SNES games

NES:
Battle for Olympus (my number one)
Rygar
River City Ransom
Battletoads
Mike Tyson Punch Out
Super Mario 2 (most hated it, it was my favorite)

Micro machines
Castelvania

SNES:
Super Battletoads
Zelda
FF3
Secret of Mana
Chrono Trigger
Earthbound

[Gunther TheBlack]

Haha i forgot about this game.


Also that game with the 2 eskimo's.

[alfaroverall]

Ice Climber?

[Gunther TheBlack]

Ice Climber?

yup!

[Ultimo]

Dang, a lot of NES/SNES games were incredible. I still use my SNES all the time, it is classic gaming (and the best console ever imo).

[Nasty]

NES: Kung Fu or Metal Gear
SNES: Super Metroid

i dont know im just guessing

[Dr Who]

EVO for the SNES was awesome

The 7th Saga was pretty cool too though it was pretty hard.

[Everto]

Final Fantasy IV.

The only good FF game imo.

[Xzi]

Battle Toads.
Win.

[akrippler]

NES : Monsters in my pocket.

Er dammit there was another game that was just like mario except every boss fight was just a game of rock paper siscors... Now that I think about it why the hell did I like that game soo much, sounds like it sucked balls.

Or the Micheal jackson video game, it was tottaly awesome. Pop some dance moves on thoose fools.

[alfaroverall]

Pardon the bump, but I'm looking for a suggestion. More on where to start than on what to play in general. I'm mainly looking at these:
Star Ocean. I have a save file that is probably around halfway through the game, but I don't remember the plot at all, so I'd be starting again. I suppose that's worth noting.
Tales of Phantasia. I've got a recent save file that is about an hour in, again worth noting.
Romancing SaGa (one of them, probably 3). Haven't played a moment of any of them.
A later Tales game (though that would make it unrelated to this thread, I don't think this alone makes this post deserve its own thread or a necro of an older thread). I've played Symphonia to completion and have played no others.

Thoughts? They don't have to be one of those if you think any other idea is tremendously better, though I've already played many of the suggestions that have been made (the FF games, the Mana games, Zelda, EVO, Chrono Trigger, etc.)

[Reikson]

go for Star Ocean

[Killuminati]

go for Star Ocean

This.

[Battle]

Crazy thread timing, my buddy and I are planning on doing some hardcore retro gaming this weekend. Gunna hit the early Zeldas hard.

[Ragnika]

Nobody likes excitebike?

I opened the thread with this one in mind so, Excitebike or Dragon Spirit for NES. Mario Kart or Killer Instinct for SNES.

[YoMaNaTiOn]

NES: Super Mario Bros 3
SNES: Super Mario World II: Yoshi's Island (the finest 2D platformer of all time)

My favorite platforms of those systems.

[alfaroverall]

go for Star Ocean

This.
Looks like I'll probably go down this route. A pity Tales of Phantasia's story is so dull and uninspired to start (the main character's hometown and family are destroyed, WAAAH, time to go hide somewhere to prevent dying, OH WAIT YOU CAN'T *insert first encounter with sinister villain and your connection to him*, get imprisoned, escape from prison, that's about as far as I've gotten), because it's got a really awesome combat system. A good ways better than Star Ocean's.

[Daccus]

If you haven't yet, Mario RPG is fun. The Paper Mario games are great RPG's too, a little childish but there's also some decent humor throughout.

[akrippler]

I opened the thread with this one in mind so, Excitebike or Dragon Spirit for NES. Mario Kart or Killer Instinct for SNES.

Im the best that ever lived at Killer Instinct; give me Jago everytime and Ill Ultra combo your ass to death.

[Desperado[1G]]

Jago was that **** ninja wannabe right?

I grew up on a street with about 8 other kids my age, and I would always beat the shit out of everyone while playing Tomahawke

and we collectively banned saberwulfe because he was a lame ass spam character

Cinder was the lame ass spame character

And no jago was the manliest of them all.

Tomahawke was dirtball you just get low and throw axes constantly.

I haven't played Tales of phantasia. But if the story sucks in an RPG I get turned off quick.
