I really love RPG and story games that are really artistic. I find that the ones that have really deep stories captivate me! Most are older because I haven’t had as much time to explore newer games, but the ones I have played I still haven’t liked as much.

The wind waker, wii sports, animal crossing wild world, and pokemon x and y

I'm listing my favorites or games that give me nostalgia as well, even if you have the same (especially Paper Mario being listed there, hoo boy, I'm a big fan).​

• Paper Mario 64
• Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
• Donkey Kong Country 1, 2, and 3
• Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
• Mario Party 3 and 6 (I've played all the rest as well, but like those 2 the most)
• Sonic Riders
• Star Fox Adventures
• Star Fox Assault
• Sonic Adventure 2: Battle
• Pac-Man World 2
• Pok?mon Snap
• Diddy Kong Racing
• Hydro Thunder
• Mario Power Tennis
• Kirby Airride
• Burnout 2: Point of Impact
• Zoids: Battle Legends
• Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee
• Banjo Kazooie
• The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
• Animal Crossing: Wild World
• Pok?mon SoulSilver
• WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Party Game$
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
• Horizon Zero Dawn
• Red Dead Redemption II
• The Last Guardian
• inFAMOUS Second Son
• Detroit: Become Human
• Pokk?n Tournament DX
• Super Paper Mario
• Paper Mario: Color Splash

That's all of the ones I can think of for now. I've also listed games that I really enjoyed as well besides favorites and nostalgia. For Paper Mario: Color Splash, I wouldn't normally recommend Sticker Star or Color Splash since they're not like the first two, but Color Splash can be really funny; it actually gave me some good laughs. Super Paper Mario has a really good story.

That?s a good list and it?s pretty similar to mine! But OMG I forgot about Sonic adventure battle 2! I used to play it obsessively and work to get my Chao?s into the little characters that I wanted I loved all the courses too in that game. I wish they would make a remake

I used to play that game ALL the time too! I loved raising my Chao and I would leave the game on all night (on purpose) and then wake up to see them all so different. It was so fun to do when I was younger.

 

[HopeForHyrule]

Super Mario Bros. 3
Final Fantasy IX
Lunar: Silver Star Story
Lunar: Eternal Blue
Psychonauts

I could just list a ton of games, but ones I actually have a specific nostalgic memory with:

Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart and Splatterhouse I remember playing at my step dad's apartment when I was like 4 and my mum had first started seeing him.

Sonic 2 I remember playing with the two neighbour girls (absolutely no idea of their names. I as like 3 at most) and getting to Metropolis Zone.

My dad turned up on my birthday and that's when I got Banjo Kazooie.

The hype me and my friends had for Metal Gear Solid 3 and the ridiculous speculation of what stuff we would be able to do in it.

Playing Pokemon Fire Red and Ruby with my friends in the middle of a field like every day one summer.

Wearing the Pokewalker from Pokemon Heart Gold and seeing another person wearing a Pokewalker from their Soul Silver. 10ish years later we're still best friends.

 

[Bcat]

my favorite, most nostalgic game is probably super mario world.

I was really into Pokemon sapphire when I was younger. Also I loved banjo kazooie! Have you ever played the second one banjo tooie? It was one where he went to South America to those ancient structures, for some reason I remembered that sequel a little more.

Yes they are classics! I?m trying to collect every one, but getting all the consoles and old games are so expensive!

 

[Stalfos]

The games that gives me the warmest, fuzziest nostalgic feelings are the games from the 8-bit era such as Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. Those where the first two games I played. At least as far as I remember. Other nostalgic games are The Goonies II, Kid Icarus, Bubble Bobble, Ice Climber and Phantasy Star. Even a sucky game like the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles holds a special place in my heart. <3

 

[Sashade]

Lol Stalfos, the sucky TMNT game for the original Gameboy also holds a nostalgic memory for me as well. As do Super Mario World, LoZ:OoT, and Pokemon Yellow. A few honorable mentions from me are Sonic(on the SEGA) True Lies(w/Arnold Schwarznegger for the...SNES?) and Robocop vs. The Terminator(SNES)

- - - Post Merge - - -

Oh, and also Mortal Kombat, Star Wars Squadron something, and Hey You, Pikachu!- all on N64

 

[Peg]

Here's my list (in no particular order):

• Ōkami
• Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and the Lost Ocean
• Baten Kaitos Origins
• Eternal Sonata
• The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
• The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
• The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
• The Legend of Zelda: Majora?s Mask
• Tales of Symphonia
• Tales of the Abyss
• Tales of Vesperia
• Final Fantasy XII
• Final Fantasy X
• Final Fantasy IX
• Final Fantasy VIII
• Kingdom Hearts
• Kingdom Hearts II
• Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
• Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
• Xenoblade Chronicles
• Muramasa: The Demon Blade
• Super Mario Sunshine
• Super Mario Galaxy
• Animal Crossing (GameCube)
• Animal Crossing: New Leaf

The games listed were played during very content periods of my life. To me, they were all highly immersive and/or very beautifully designed games.

I love all those classic LoZ and Super Mario 8-bit games too! Although I’m a little younger so when I was young the N64 games were already out and that’s what I played a lot.
I think it would be really cool if we could get some of those classic famous 8-bit games to have had remakes like not even change the story too much, just have it in hd from a different perspective.

[salty-]

God I have a lot
Destroy all humans 1 and 2

There's also this monster game that I honestly can't remember the name of from when I was a kid but I played this game a lot, I think Rampage?? I honestly can't be sure

 

[Liability]

Horizon Zero Dawn, Mario Party 6, Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart Wii, The Last of Us, Detroit: Become Human, and probably more

 

[Duzzel]

My most nostalgia inducing games, in slight chronological order:

Pokemon Yellow (first game ever)
Ocarina of Time
Oracle of Ages
Pokemon Crystal
Golden Sun
A Link to the Past
Wario Land III
Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life
Animal Crossing GC
Pokemon Sapphire
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles
Harvest Moon Animal Parade

All of these played such critical roles in my video game journey, I still have most of the originals! After about 2007, games I've played don't really evoke a sense of nostalgia. But I imagine as time marches on, more and more will ~

 

[lars708]

I can only think of Super Mario Sunshine and Super Smash Bros. Melee tbh

Memories of playing together with my dad and sister ;-;
