When you wall jump, wait until you see Samus' sprite going downwards.. that's when you know when to press the jump button.

No design flaws in comparison with Metroid Fusion.

This is the most underrated Mario I've seen. What a platformer! It is a true classic from the 8-bit era and a true example for art style in video game graphics. Just look at those imaginative backgrounds and tell me you don't feel enchanted.

Rondo of Blood is the best. I think the level of difficulty is just perfect for a Traditionalvania game. And it has one of the most amazing and unique environments out of the entire franchise. Plus the CD-quality soundtrack gives you goosebumps while playing. My 2nd favorite is Symphony of the Night. Never played any of the GBA or DS titles, so I wouldn't know if they're close to SotN in terms of originality in gameplay and level design.

The one that stands out most for innovation would be Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (prequel to the first, branching paths, multiple characters - each with their own unique abilities).

More Mario, More Zelda and More Metroid. I mean... who doesn't? Funniest guy ever! : )

@DkFluttershyGuy I was, for sure! Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw how gargantuous he had become. Thought he would literally eat me alive. Possibly come out of the screen too. Tho he was not much of a threat compared to his old smaller form depicted in the original.

One of the greatest games in all existence selling for 30c. No game has ever made people scream out loud like that out of pure admiration for it's striking uniquity and atmospheric nature.. It's a god send.

Still no Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) for the Virtual Console! It's been over 5 months. Not that I'm complaining.

Mega Man 2, 3, 9 and X is the line-up (X might be the best right after MM2).

@Fusion14 We may both agree that from a technical standpoint (given the hardware level and massive amount of features when compared to the Wii), the Wii is superior (and it has the Virtual Console emulating service for titles of past generations like the SNES with suspend states and stuff). But for a physical (cartridge stuffed) library, it has no competition (considering the amount of original titles it had and the much more inventive storyline concepts, character development).

Please, for the 3DS!

This game defines the word "CUTE". Everything in it is so cute and it really feeds the soul of many young players. Even the enemies look cute!

The SNES is undoubtedly the single greatest game console ever produced! I mean seriously.. there aren't any more titles of this CALIBER!

I think I see Super Mario World. Is that true?!

The SNES game is my 3rd favorite 2d side-scrolling platformer of all-time right after SMB3 and Super Metroid. My dad bought it from a store in Chicago, back in the day in '96. : ) Today, you can only wish for such innovation and art style in video game graphics! It could never be surpassed..

Forgot to mention Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project!
I've never played Dragon Warrior btw (think it will be good)

Girly: Mega Man, Mega Man! slapped

Bring us Mega Man 3!!

#1 Super Mario Bros. 3 (is of SNES quality!)
#2 Super Mario Bros. (Those high-jumps, low-jumps, mid-jumps..)
#3 The Legend of Zelda (Needed to play this one before the other Zeldas and it probably would've ended up at #2, no doubt)
#4 Metroid (This is actually my #3 because of the high replay value)
#5 Mega Man 2 (Rock on!!)
#6 Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (The multiple characters and their abilities)
#7 Super Mario Bros. 2 (Great sequel!)
#8 Mega Man 3 (The only game I haven't played on the list. It might outplace Mega Man 2, who knows?)
#9 Zelda II: The Adventure of Link (It has to be..)
#10 ??? (Don't have one yet, it might be Duck Tales or Bionic Commando)

ALttP, Super Metroid and SMW2: Yoshi's Island are the Top 3!

Wonder about the par times on this one.

Nothing can top this kind of quality. Period. It is the epitome of the 16-bit awesomeness. Happy Birthday Super Metroid!

Where is Mega Man 3?!

Both games are unique in their own way. Seasons was beautiful with it's art style and the ability to change seasons. Ages had superior dungeons and a good storyline (although it gave me a hard time). I remember that I've played (and beaten) both back in the Summer of 2002, when a friend of mine (that had a GBA) gave me both cartridges to play for the weekends. They just might be the most memorable Zeldas. They were my 2nd and 3rd Zelda games), respectively (OoT was my first in '99). After 'Ages', I bought a second-hand Link's Awakening DX cartridge for my Game Boy Color and I found it to be the most enchanting experience I've ever had playing a game. It sinks you deep into it's atmosphere with such astonishing detail that you literally forget you're playing a game. 'Ages' and 'Seasons' were greatly inspired by this game and turned out to be exceptionally good on their own.

The Oracle games and Super Mario Bros. 3 are the ones I've been waiting for ever since I got my 3DS last summer!

No Mega Man 3 for us! I hope the week after, we'll finally get it.

WOAH! This game is still a blast to play. It devours you..

Red_Kinetic said: The only Nintendo System to have just 1 Zelda game!
And what a Zelda game it was..
The most innovative and revolutionary Zelda title to date!

I doubt Nintendo will ever be this good again.
I've never experienced anything as atmospheric as Super Metroid till this very day. My third favorite would be Yoshi's Island, and that game had the most unique graphical art style for a 2d platformer. The SNES' library shines with great games like Chrono Trigger, FFVI, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Mario Kart and more...

I recall completing both games back in 2002 on a GameBoy Advance I temporarily had been given. I liked Ages a tad bit more because it was more puzzle-oriented and it gave me a hard time. Seasons had the better mechanic (considering that Time Travel was already implemented before Ages in OoT), graphical art style, overworld. Ages shined with a much greater storyline, dungeon design, items. Loved the music in both games.

Majora's Mask 3D!!!

Had never played this one before. I was amazed at how good the level design is for i'ts time. My score would be something in between an 8 and a 9. I need to spend more time playing it in order to be more conclusive, but it's more likely to be a 9/10. And the music leaves a lasting impression on me. It's absolutely one of the greatest platformers of all-time, that's for sure!

I have never played Mega Man 2. So I would love to purchase this game. People are saying that it's the best in the franchise. We'll have to see if that's true.

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and Animal Crossing: New Leaf for me! I have never played any of the Fire Emblem games, so I wonder if that would be worth it's money.
Bring in Majora's Mask 3D!!!

I love you, Mega Man!

Will definitely get Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon on launch here in Europe.

Hey everyone!
I'm from Europe and I downloaded Mario Kart 7 two weeks ago, but the file size of the game folder on the SD card says 638 megabytes (I am using an SD card reader on my PC).
Doesn't that sound too low? Just wanted to know if everything is normal with my game download.
Btw, I bought a 16 gigabyte SDHC card (Class 10) which should be just fine considering that the games don't take up too much space at all.
