Star Ward: The Clone Wars for GameCube

Alright here goes. Mine is probably a DOS game. Probably point and click. Definitely top down. You're a citizen of Ancient Rome or Greece, I believe. At the beginning, I think you wake up somewhere naked, and you pass by an outdoor swimming pool where someone is swimming. His toga is on the ground, so you pick it up and wear it. That's all I remember haha. But I've been looking for years. Have spent so much time on Google and Moby Games. I posted it to the subreddit too, years ago, but they couldn't solve it.

@Joeynator3000 Quest 64?

@-wc- I'm curious about Solar Flare but can't find it. Have a link I can see?

@EarthboundBenjy oh my gosh! Castle of the Winds has been one of mine too! Until now! This is crazy. I also was thinking of this pretty recently and noted that, in retrospect, it was definitely a rogue like. I knew nothing of the sort when I played in, probably, the mid 90s. But I've always remembered it fondly. My memory was ok on it. "The sleep that looked like a snake" always stood out to me. I cannot believe that I'm scrolling through this thread and one of the games mentioned is one of my own lost to time. Thanks so much haha!

@Taya that sounds dope!

@BreathingMiit do you think you would feel better if they had titled it differently? Like Might and Magic Puzzles, or Ashan: Clash of Heroes?

@BreathingMiit it was made for DS. It wasn't ported to mobile until four years later.

I. Absolutely. Love. This. Game. I've completed it multiple times, and I own every version. I'm looking for people to play with online. Please hit me up. My friend code is SW-6529-6262-2997

This is actually really tough. But at the same time Star Fox, obviously.

Woah! Was not expecting this. I have it for GBA, and I've started it three times, but I never got far. The limited TP exploring is very stressful, and making the wrong choice of failing a QTE can be significantly detrimental. I also find the degrading weapon system exhausting, and the battles are way way too long. I love this game in theory but do not enjoy actually playing it.

Daisy Cruise for sure. One of my favorite Double Dash!! courses.

That's dumb, just really dumb

@Bret that's great! It does look super good and I'd love to play it.

@TheExile285 Word. I recommend them. And then Guns of the Patriots. Phantom Pain is super fun but literally does not have a story, which is crazy. I'm debating whether or not to play this Snake Eater remaster or to wait for the full remake. It's one of the very very few games I've played more than once, and I'll play it again, but I might as well play he fancy new version.

@Bret How much would/will you pay for the new Warioware?

@TheExile285 Have you had a chance to play any of the MGS games?

@shgamer I've been saying for months and months that Switch 2 or whatever would launch this holiday. (And before that, I thought it would launch with Zelda.) Now I'm confident it will not launch this year. A 2D Mario flagship title was the last thing I expected, but I still think it's all they've got for this year. 2D Mario is definitely not my thing at all. But maybe then Metroid Prime 4 and Odyssey 2 will launch with their next console.

@Wheatly I was NOT expecting a 2D Mario to be there flagship game this holiday.

For me, this was yet another reminder that I really don't need a Switch. I've never liked 2D Mario games, but I'd be all about that if it were 3D. The whole time, I was thinking, "man, I wish this were 3D." I played and loved Pikmin 3, but I don't feel motivated to play 4 at all. Looks like the same, I guess, and I can't imagine dropping $60 for it. Very few of the 3rd party games excite me, with three exceptions. Penny's Big Breakaway is the obvious game of the Direct for me. 3D platformers are possibly my favorite genre. The next is Star Ocean. I never got around to playing them, and this remake looks awesome. The last is Metal Gear. I love all three, but Snake Eater is possibly my favorite game ever. Definitely was not expecting that. All three of these games are coming to other consoles, and Switch is easily the worst option to me.

@johnvboy me too. Was it not that way in BoTW? I'm sure it was.

@Debbiee sure thing! I played for an hour this morning and had the time of my life. It is on PC also, on Epic Games Store if you have one lying around. I imagine the requirements are pretty low. Oh! It's on GeForce Now also. You'd need to buy the game on Epic, but you could play it on (almost) any computer, tablet, or phone. I can tell you that GeForce Now does play smoothly, from personal experience.

@WreckitRyan What in the world is this ZL thing people keep talking about!?

@Debbiee I feel you. If you haven't heard of it, you might really like Tchia. I'm playing it now and am astounded every minute. It's not sure Switch though

@Debbiee it's a very different game to Breathe of the Wild. It's taken me a long time to comes to terms with it.

Tell me more about this ZL to flatten business...

Europe. This is an easy one.

I have a dumb question. Have that still not fixed the drift yet? Are they selling the same broken hardware in a different color?

@Astral-Grain hey thanks for the explanation. It's been a few years since I've played, but my thumbs apparently remember quick tapping the dpad to unequip weapons. Because I keep doing it and nothing happens haha.

Am I crazy or could you not tap left or right on the dpad to quick equip and unequip your weapon or shield?

@PikaPhantom dodgeball!

Airplane stuff. Hands down. One of my greatest gaming memories is flying around Wuhu Island.

@nkarafo exactly! listen to this prophet here.

@Darknilious exactly the same for me. I've completed it multiple times, and i almost never replay games.

News of the month, easily. One of my favorite games of all time, and one of the few I've completed multiple times. I own it on DS, PS3, and Steam. Videos do not do justice to the engrossing battles. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I really like the Sonic theme, so I think that's what I'll stick with. My 2DS is non-operational right now though I believe the issue is that dust/dirt is stuck between the screen and case. I've tried cleaning it out but to no avail. I found a YouTube video of a 2DS breakdown, but there are like a hundred screws and I'm afraid to break it permanently. A nice PC repair guy in the area would lik to fix it, but he's charging $50 and I simply don't have the money right now.

I don't have a Switch, but I'm looking forward to the results.

I'm excited to see a comparison video between the Steam release and this one.

I also recommend Pandora's Tower.

@Deady my PS3 stopped working and I'm still sad about it

@Anti-Matter this is the first positive comment I've ever read about Amiibo Festival. Now I want it.

Do you realize the food gates you've opened with this question? You can still add money to your Nintendo amount, right? So you can use that for the eShop?

My number 1 recommendation is Pandora's Tower. It's physically exclusive to Wii and costs a fortune. But the game is incredible, so get it virtually. Likewise for Twilight Princess HD.

Wii Sports Resort is excellent if only for the flying. Literally one of my favorite gaming experiences. Nintendoland is massively underrated. The key to enjoying F-Zero is to look at the TV screen and just ignore the flashing message. And I'm not sure there are better local multiplayer games on Wii U than a couple on Nintendoland. Wii Fit U is, likewise, phenomenal. There are a few mini games that make the purchase worth it alone.

Oh yeah! The demo for Star Fox Zero is the coolest thing I've ever played. Can't speak for the full game though.

Also, Severed, if you don't already have it elsewhere.

And any and every GBA and SNES game you can afford.

If Nintendo makes an open world Splatoon, I will cry tears of joy.

I'd take an Amiga port of Wind Waker if they wanted to make one.

EASY win for PAL

Jungle Beat is arguably THE most under-rated game of all time. Or at least the most under-rated platformer.

I'd actually never heard about this. For a second, I was hoping it was dedicated servers. If WB can have dedicated servers for Multiversus, Nintendo can make it happen too.

Only ONE Thing: lock motion controls to the Y-axis only. Like in the original. That's what made motion controls finally work and was the best first person aiming system on console that I've ever used.

This would be incredible. It's my favorite game. My wallet is ready, Kojima-san.
