Its funny that people have thought that Zelda 2 is the worst. Yes, its cheap at times, and the formula is different, but...idk i still kinda like it.
Also, i find it funny that when I got my LoZ Game&Watch, the game i have played the most on it is Zelda II. Like ive been going to town on that game for some reason...especially over my favorite in Link's Awakening.
If we dont get Neo, thats fine. I could see Agent Smith show up...or an Agent if they can't get Hugo Weaving. I could see some sort of Fatality with Agent taking over the body or using his ability to decimate the enemy, or summoning sentinels. I could see it working.
I wouldn't mind this being remade...but I also want to see a port of FFTA and A2. These games deserve to be mentioned as well even if they aren't as renown as the original game.
Shadowgate has many creepy deaths like breaking a mirror and it turning into a portal into deep space where "The grim reaper waits to embrace you." Seeing a close up of that Grim Reaper everytime you die is very nightmare fuel as well.
Uninvited had alot of memorable creepy moments (and some what the crap moments). I think what sticks out to me is the Southern Belle. And of course if you're playing the PC version (or have the Ruby in the NES version) seeing that random red skull appear is very terrifying.
I literally just talked about how I was looking forward to this. Darn. I'll survive. It'll probably give me time to finish up NEO: TWEWY and Persona 5 Strikers....
@Captain_Toad I think EarthBoundBenjy covered it well. PS1 through Sega Ages is worth it, especially considering how expensive a physical copy is and the QOL fixes. It also has some references that show up in PS4. PS2 I personally like but it's very grindy (especially in the third act). The story is top notch and there are definitely some callbacks that come up in ps4 as well. PS3 is...definitely a sidestory and other than one small reference in PS4, it pretty much stands on its own. It has some good ideas with the having different paths based on who you marry but..the game itself is kinda bland.
Personally I think to fully appreciate PS4 it would be a good idea to play 1 and 2. Some of the references would make more sense playing it. But its up to you how you proceed.
@Expa0....you might be right. Cause other than Lunar 2 on Sega Cd, the jrpgs aren't as strong as snes. And as mentioned Lunar and Lunar 2 are Sega CD, not Genesis proper.
That being said the Shining games are definitely top tier. And I did like Landstalker too.
Fusion wasn't bad....but i wasn't a fan of the linearity. The article does bring up some good ideas though...thoguh I would have much preferred they posted a picture of Nightmare rather than just describe it cause....seeing the picture would have been better.
@ncgarcez I feel like you're thinking Quackshot, which WOULD be great on the console along with Castle and World of Illusion. Heck both of those were on the Mini, so I wouldn't be surprised to see it show up at some point.
IDK if you have a 3DS, but theres a great Sega Ages port of Afterburner II that is well worth picking up. Im sad they never brought it to switch like they did with Space Harrier and OutRun
I had the game pre-ordered, but then i saw all the bugs and glitches and im like, "Never mind, I'll just wait til its more stable". Plus...I dont need that keychain so badly.
Not going to lie, seeing Claymates on this list was not expected...but I'll definitely accept it because i actually had fun with the game....though I could never get past the first world.
Already finished the demo. I definitely warmed up to the gameplay style. I will say, the brief loading time between battles (at least on PS4) definitely rubbed me the wrong way, and I hope that it changes.
If you plan on getting the game, I definitely recommend playing through the demo. Progress saves on it so you can just go through to the next in story event. SO less tutorial stuff.
Ive recently been playing COTM on portable, and ive really liked it. Ive tinkered a bit with Harmony of Dissonance...but i have to say the music in the game is not good. Though the game still plays well. I really hope we do get these games cause Id totally play it. Heck Id be happy if we got some of the DS games as well, and even Rebirth,...though I wouldn't be surprised if that were saved for a Konami Rebirth collection with Gradius and Contra Rebirth
Do it Nintendo or Terry Crews is goign to bust into the headquarters with a jet ski and start screaming about how you guys stink and need more Old Spice.
I think this list might be a bit better without the compilations...i mena thats bit cheap to put in....I also think that MM3 is better than MM2. I feel like MM2 refined the MM formula, but MM3 perfected it and added in some cool things like the slide and the first appearance of Protoman
@TDRsuperstar2 currently there are two wonder boy games on switch in addition to Monster Boy. Wonder Boy Returns is a remake of the first game and is more of a platformer. But Wonder Boy 3 Dragons Trap is similar to Monster Boy
I wouldn't sell them short. Monster Land, Dragon's Trap, Wonder boy in Monster World and Monster World IV are more akin to Monster Boy. They have flaws but are pretty good. Definitely give them a look.
This series is very dear to me so sorry if im sounding a bit biased.
@TDRsuperstar2 so the series started off as Wonder Boy, but eventually changed into the Monster World series with more focus on action. So when they brought the series back as Monster Boy it was because they didn't have the rights to the Wonder Boy name, thus we got the combination of Monster World and Wonder Boy into Monster Boy.
The original game on genesis was called Monster World IV since it was the fourth game in the monster world series (The order is Monster Land, Dragons Trap, Wonder Boy in Monster World, and Monster World IV).
Phantasy Star was a loveletter to the game. They did such a great job with the QoL fixes and stuff like that. I always recommend people play this version of the game.
Honestly all of the TechnoSoft games were given some great love. Thunder Force IV had some great extras and ThunderForce AC was really good too. And then Herzog Zwei was a great port too considering how hard the game is to find.
Virtua Racing was so cool playing on one screen with 8 players. I just wish i had 8 people to play with.

Re: Feature: The Scariest Game On Every Nintendo Home Console
Got a couple for NES. Shadowgate and Uninvited.
Shadowgate has many creepy deaths like breaking a mirror and it turning into a portal into deep space where "The grim reaper waits to embrace you." Seeing a close up of that Grim Reaper everytime you die is very nightmare fuel as well.
Uninvited had alot of memorable creepy moments (and some what the crap moments). I think what sticks out to me is the Southern Belle. And of course if you're playing the PC version (or have the Ruby in the NES version) seeing that random red skull appear is very terrifying.

Re: Poll: Which Sega Genesis / Mega Drive Games Should You Play First Via Nintendo Switch Online?
@Captain_Toad it's a shame we never got an official release of Phantasy Star: Generation 1 and 2 on PS2. Those were some decent remakes of the game.
