After finding everything out about Nintendo and the VC we haven't really been buying stuff off it; haven't even looked at it in a long time. Nintendo really needs to fix their shit with the VC.

 

Super Mario World was a big draw for me.

 

also; can this thread be used for a VC wishlist?

Super Metroid, Contra III, and Castlevania all get a lot of playtime from me. Mario 3 and Mario World get played here and there as well. I cleared through Zelda: A Link to the Past as well. I really need to play OoT.

 

I downloaded Super Mario RPG and finished it, but I really didn't like it very much. Possibly suffering from the whole, I never played it back in the day syndrome. Same with Mario 64.

Yes. Playing StarFox 64 right now trying to get all the medals.

 

This game is so furry. It's the one thing I hate about it.

The game, or the series?

For the original Star Fox and Star Fox 64, I hardly classify them as furry, just because they had anthropomorphic characters. Now, when we get to Star Fox Adventures and so on, yes, the series goes knee-deep into furry-hood.

The virtual console is pretty cool. I've had a great time discovering which old "classics" can still appeal to a gamer who didn't play games until the end of the N64 generation. I'm not demeaning old classics in any way, but it's been interesting to discover which games you had to have been there to enjoy, and which ones hold a more universal appeal.

 

Here's what I've discovered:

 

Super Metroid is all kinds of awesome, now and forever.

 

Sin and Punishment is great because it follows it's muse without compromise.

 

Super Castlevania IV is possibly the best game ever. The music, controls, and atmosphere are all there. And turning the music off for the final boss, only to kick in at the end with the character theme? It's so brilliant I'm amazed it hasn't been done to death.

 

Castlevania Rondo of Blood is pretty cool too. It's no Super Castlevania IV though.

 

I don't like Super Mario Bros 3. The thing about the Mario franchise is that it cannibalizes itself. Every cool thing in SMB 3 is something I've seen a cooler version of in a later installment. Since I've played all the 3D Super Mario games and both New Super Mario games, SMB3 really held very little for me to discover.

 

I don't like Kid Icarus. Single block platforming is not fun. Replaying levels over and over again is not fun.

 

I love Gunstar Heroes. Nintendo needs to buy out Treasure. Those two companies make the best same-room cooperative play I've experienced. Together, they could unite the world.

 

I liked MegaMan until Wiley's Castle. That level isn't fun. It's brutal. The level is designed to kill you, and when the level doesn't the technical limitations probably will. The first 6 levels were great though.

 

Starfox 64 is everything I could ask from a rail shooter. I kinda wish Nintendo wasn't remaking it though, because I already know these levels backwards and forwards. I would LOVE a new set of levels with SF 64 mechanics though.

 

Metroid... I don't get it. I can see how the game design evolved into Super Metroid and the rest of that awesome franchise, but I don't understand what's fun about Metroid I. I request either recognizable landmarks or a map system please.

I think I'm gonna have to try IV then, because I've never played Castlevania games before.
