@quinnyboy58 In all fairness, Going Commando and Up Your Arsenal are both excellent. Maybe not as revered as SM64 or Banjo, but great games in their own right.
@LikelySatan I only got into Final Fantasy myself with FF X HD on Switch, and have since played VII-X and XII. Also have 1-6 collection. I started with RPGs on the N64 with Paper Mario, then Dragon Quest VIII on the PS2. My favorite two games, in that order, and they've shaped my tastes in games and RPGs ever since.
@Tasuki Beginning of the downfall of Final Fantasy? Final Fantasy IX and X are masterpieces, certainly not in a period of downfall. I'm not much of a FF VII fan but it definitely was not a low point.
Currently doing an Iron Man run of Shadows of Valentia. Excellent game. ORAS are also very solid remakes. SMRPG, while very 1 to 1 with the original, cleans things up so nice that I cant forget it either. Majoras Mask and Ocarina of time 3D and Links Awakening are also great.
I wish they had just done this properly from the get go, everything on the cart and 60 fps. It went from an instant buy to maybe I'll remember it when its dirt cheap a few years from now.
While none of the Paper Mario clones quite hit the mark for me, I'll keep an eye on this for a sale. Luckily for the most part I still enjoy modern Paper Mario so I'm not left wanting.
While both unlikely, Conker is probably impossible, but I loved the multiplayer so much in it. Banjo Tooie would be nice too(ie) as I never owned, only rented it.
No buffs to my poor explosher... but, there are some nice changes in here, though I feel they need to do bigger balance patches with how infrequent they are.

Re: Mother 3 Switch Icons Out Now In Japan
While I would be very happy to have Mother 3 localized, I've come to accept it likely wont happen, and the fan translation is excellent enough as is.
Re: Pokémon Legends: Z-A Announced, Coming To Switch In 2025
Glad this is the only big announcement and it's not until next year. Please let it be properly polished. 🙏

Re: Best Mario RPGs Of All Time
Paper Mario 64 is my number one, with TTYD second. And imo Color Splash and kinda Origami King should be higher, they get unjust hate.
Re: Poll: Which Of Rare's Classic N64 Games Would You Like To See On Switch Online?
@Nintendo4Sonic Welcome to Coventry Cove!
Beetle Adventure Racing was fantastic
Re: Poll: Which Of Rare's Classic N64 Games Would You Like To See On Switch Online?
While both unlikely, Conker is probably impossible, but I loved the multiplayer so much in it. Banjo Tooie would be nice too(ie) as I never owned, only rented it.
Re: Review: Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. (3DS)
@Jhomesjones Truly a very well made game, and a shame that it was dismissed by the majority of people.
Re: Poll: What's The Best RPG Starring Mario?
Paper Mario 64!
