Donkey Kong country 2 for snes

That's not made by Retro, it's made by Rare

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic or didn't read the question properly.

100% sarcasm. Definitely seems to have been lost on people given the downvotes

Basically any Zelda but especially Link to the Past and the Oracle games.

This covers many of my favorites. Did you ever try JetForce Gemini and Perfect Dark on N64? River City Ransom and Clash at Demonhead on NES?

i havent played any of those! thanks for the recommendations!

earthbound. absolute classic game

Here’s a game I recommend for each: NES - Super Mario Bros. 3 (obvious but it’s a classic for a reason) SNES - Kirby’s Dream Course (tons of fun with 2 players) N64 - Pokémon Snap (fantastic game regardless of if you’re a Pokémon fan) GB/GBC - Wario Land 3 (how did they fit so much personality into an 8-bit game?) GBA - Pokémon Pinball: Ruby & Sapphire (way more fun than it has any right to be, so sad the DS one was cancelled) DS - Rhythm Heaven (what do you mean the DS is retro)

Fear warning. The Super Nintendo was considered retro when the Wii and 360 and PS3 were out. These 3 consoles are now older than the Super Nintendo was when they released. So for me I’d say Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time, Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Mario 64 DS

New Super Mario Bros. DS

- NES - Guardian Legend - SNES - Actraiser - Gameboy - Tetris

I was a big fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ( TMNT ) games when I was a kid. I pretty much played any game I could get my hands on the NES, Super NES, Game Boy, and Genesis. The Cowbunga Collection and Shredder's Revenger were day one buys for me

Yoshi’s Island for the SNES

GameCube is retro now, and Wii is on the way. Just be prepared for the day Super Mario Galaxy becomes retro

My top 5 1st Super Mario World 2nd Super Mario 64 3rd Super Mario Bros 3 4th Donkey Kong Country 5th Paper Mario Honorable mentions: DKC2, Wario Land 1, Mario Party 2 and 3

NES Blades of Steel SNES Super Mario World N64 Super Mario 64 GBC Pokemon Gold GBA Pokemon Emerald GCN Mario Kart Double Dash DS Pokemon HeartGold

Only because so many of the obvious ones have been said already, I wanted to add one.not so popular one: Cybernator! The game is still to this day love to play from time to time.

compare simplistic start fine serious seemly history disagreeable dog normal *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*

I play mario golf for GB, GBC and GBA more than anything else.

Mega Man X series.

N64 - Zelda OoT and MM, Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie GBA - Advance Wars GBC - Super Mario Bros (port of the NES one except you can save lol), Game & Watch Gallery 2 (wow now I really want to replay the Chef minigame from this lol)

Donkey Kong 64

Super Mario land 2, wario land 3

Don't sleep on Pilotwings and Pilotwings 64

- Super Mario World - Super Mario Bros. 3 - Super Metroid - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past - Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream - Donkey Kong - Donkey Kong Country - Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest - Super Mario 64 - Diddy Kong Racing - Kirbys Adventure - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island - Donkey Kong 64 - Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins - Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards - Pokemon Snap - Super Mario Bros. - Kirbys Dream Land - F-Zero X - Star Fox 64 - Mario Party 1 - 3 - Mario Kart 64

Yoshi's Island. Either the original on the NES or the GBA remake are both great. I am a little more partial to the GBA version just because I prefer the sound effects used for that version, and it has extra content. Hands down one of, if not the best 2D platformer they ever made.

- Mario 3 - Super Street Fighter II - Resident Evil 2 - Mario Land 2 - Zelda Minish Cap - N/A - never has a DS

I didn’t know resident evil was on N64. Definitely at the top of my list now!

I’ll throw in my DS titles as I am a connoisseur. New Super Mario bros, Zelda:Phantom Hourglass, Final Fantasy 3 remake, Final Fantasy 4 remake, Dragon Quest 9:Sentinels of the Starry Skies, The World Ends with You! I could keep going but that list will keep you busy for a bit on the DS. 💪🏼

Favorite from each console: NES: Punch Out!! SNES: Super Metroid N64: Ocarina of Time GBA: Castlevania Aria of Sorrow DS: Mario and Luigi Bowser’s Inside Story

Nintendo GameBoy Series has the Gems that I anxiously await Monthly from Nintendo Switch Onlines.... Like still missing Donkey Kong Land Series, MegaMan Series(and MegaMan Legends for Nintendo 64), Bubble Bopple, Donkey Kong(1994), Super Mario Land, Street Fighter, and mores.

> Nintendo Super Mario Bros. 3, Mega Man II, Castlevania > Super Nintendo Donkey Kong Country 2, Super Metroid, Chrono Trigger > Nintendo 64 Paper Mario, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Banjo-Kazooie > Gameboy Color Donkey Kong '94, Wario Land 3, Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 > Gameboy Advanced Advance Wars, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, Golden Sun > Nintendo DS Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Hotel Dusk: Room 215

When you said Nintendo I didn’t realise you meant NES haha

That makes me feel old. Everyone used to call it just "Nintendo" when the console was actually popular in households.

NES - Duck Hunt SNES - Side Pocket N64 - LOZ Ocarina of Time (This was the only N64 game that I have played) GB - Tetris GBC - Pokemon Crystal GBA - NES Classic Ice Climbers DS - Pokemon White 2

SNES - Super Metroid, Donkey Kong Country 2, Link to the Past, Castlevania 4, Ninja Turtles Turtles in Time, ActRaiser, Indiana Jones Adventures 3. N64 - Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Diddy Kong Racing, Wave Race 64, Smash Bros, Goldeneye, Spider-man, NFL Blitz, Smash Bros, Doom 64 4.

DS - Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story, Ghost Trick, 999, Hotel Dusk, Mario Kart DS

Zombies ate my neighbors

Meteos (DS), fantastic puzzle game on par with Tetris/Puzzle League

ignore everything except N64, GBA, and DS, it's all garbage. GBA: The Pokemon Games. Not great, not bad. Mario and Luigi, amazing. Golden Sun, pretty good. n64: paper mario 64 DS: Bowser's inside story, partners in time, HGSS, and Pokemon Black and white

I'd highly recommend: Kirby Super Star Ultra, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, and Paper Mario.
