Since they announced the remake of Super Mario RPG, I’ve found myself playing the original again.
In fact, I have a few classics that I still play regularly.
- Zelda ALttP
- Super Metroid
- Metroid Prime (Switch remaster is 🔥)
- Kirby Air Ride (City Trial is still my go-to party game with my 30 year old friends)
- Super Mario 64
What about you guys?
Does Pokemon count? Because that’s forever going to be my jam.
Been playing since Red and Blue. I always go back to the remakes for HGSS. I think they were some of the best. While maybe not retro being remakes, I still say they belong.
I’ve never really stopped playing Super Mario World.
Mario World world map is like a Mario Kart track at this point. Every year we take another lap.
honestly, i’m always running so far behind on my backlog that i rarely get to replay games. mario world/mario 64 is what i replay when they get bumped into a new service
- Secret of Mana 1+2
- Terranigma
- Chrono Trigger
- Earthbound
- ALttP
… for the SNES. Those were the games I grew up with and every other year I get the itch to replay one of those. I’ve considered playing the remake of SoM 2 but the demo felt bland and off to me.
On a related note, I would totally buy each of those for the Switch so I could play them on a proper handheld, but the current system with the yearly subscription that basically only rents those games to the end user and forces them to stay online, is something I find off-putting. I’d much rather just pay once and be done, like with every other game in the eShop.
Super Mario World will always be my go-to.
Super Mario 3, there is just something into it that I just keep coming back to.
Ocarina of Time, Super Metroid, NBA Jam, NFL Blitz…I’ll probably still be playing these when I’m in a nursing home lol
Super Mario 64! I love that game. It brings back so much memories.
Too many to list but here’s a few:
Zelda
Zelda 2
Mario 3
Mega Man 2
TMNT 2— SNES —
Mario world
Zelda LTTP
Chrono Trigger
Final Fantasy 3 (6)Bro yes, ff3 and Chrono trigger are amazing. Love replaying them
If I still had my 64 I’d break out paper mario once a year.
Done this twice since Nintendo put it on the virtual console. Still such a fantastically funny and entertaining game.
Love the OG! I’ve heard Thousand Year Door is even better but I haven’t gotten around to playing it.

The classics like Super Metroid, Turtles In Time, F-Zero and Link to the Past are always on rotation but I always love to pop on Cybernator (aka Assault Suits Valken) for a good run and gun mech time. Time Trax is another one not mentioned often but is nostalgic for me.
Super Mario RPG has a pretty fun randomizer I’ll sometimes go back for a run in. Been a while since I have, but with the remake coming up might get back into it.
