Games that you have a huge sense of Nostalgia for

I have terrible nostalgia for Bomberman Hero, Mario Party 3, Rayman 2, Tonic Trouble, Rocket: Robot on Wheels, BattleTanx Global Assault, Mario 64, Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow, Gold, Silver, Crystal, Pkmn Stadium 1 & 2, just almost anything N64 or GameBoy. It was a different time for Ubisoft who did Rayman, Rocket and Tonic Trouble. They sure don't attempt often to make cartoon or fantasy games like they use to. It's more series now like Child of Light or Valiant Hearts. Rayman was the only one to survive sorta *frowns on Rabbids*

GameCube & GBA is also starting to get me nostalgia, as it's been long enough. Mario Party 4, Mario Sunshine, PM:TTYD, StarFox Adventures, Wario Land 4, Konami Krazy Racers, Ribbit King, and those comp disks that Namco, Sega and Midway did where it had 4-8 classic games on one disk.

PS2 is a whole other bounty but not nearly as influential as Nintendo and their family.
 
I have massive nostalgia for Super Mario World. I played it all the time on my step dads SNES. Aside from it having some of my favorite levels and power ups, it's also the first game to have Yoshi, and I love me some Yoshi!
It's also one of the few 'nostalgia trips' that still hold up as a great game 20 years later. That game is near perfect.

Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie are some of my favorites. They still hold up with the same atmosphere and character that they used to, but they're a hell of a lot easier than I remember them being as a kid.

Pokemon Red/Gold. I was still a kid when Pokemon hit the shelves and was around for the Pokemania that came with it. Red and Gold are the two versions from each gen I had and have lots of memories of playing them...They're really aged these days though, I couldn't sit and enjoy them like I used to.

Jak + Daxter. It was my first game for the PS2 and it was bloody fantastic. It's a shame Naughty Dog stopped making them because it's easily one of my favorite franchises that was on Playstation 2.

Pokepark: Pikachu's Adventure and Super Paper Mario
I remember playing for hours and hours and hours and making new files to complete the whole game again.
Especially Super Paper Mario holy heck
 
Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2. Also, any of the Pokemon games from the fourth generation back, especially third gen. Oh, and The Sims.
 
I don't really understand this thread...
are you asking us what we played as we grew up and occasionally play today to get a sense of nostalgia
or just games that we played growing up that have stuck with us

I occasionally play Wind waker, since I love it and it has been remade for the Wii U
but that's about the only game that I do play once in a while, despite knowing the "ins and outs" of it

I play pokemon sometimes but I don't really get nostalgic feelings when doing so, as when I did play it I only understood like half of the game, and now that I do understand the game and its mechanics it feels as though I'm having a completely new experience on the game, not an old "nostalgic" one

y do i take things so seriously
 
For me it's Pok?mon on the GBC, I started with that and also got hooked on Mario Kart and Harry Potter games

I would say it's that. Looking back with rose tinted goggles at "the good old days" n' all that.
 
The Sonic Adventure series was the best. First five minutes of the game: BOOM! Giant killer whale chase!

Next adventure... Falling from the sky and being chased by rocket powered trucks?! Good times...

Definitely super mario world. It was the first video game I've ever played, and still my favorite mario game to this day.
 
Animal Crossing City Folk. It was the first video game I had ever played in my life. <3
 
Pokemon Ruby & Dragon Quest VIII. I can basically remember every moment I first played the both of them. Especially with DQ8 as most of the time I was stuck on specific bosses for days on end & the frustration was just building up.

They're both my favourite games as well so it makes sense that they're the games I have the most nostalgia with. <3
 
Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door. Such a great game. But the train chapter gives me the most nostalgia.
 
Paper Mario 64 gives me the biggest feelings of nostalgia EVER. Majora's Mask is a very close second. I played them both over and over and over when I was a kid.
 
Animal Crossing: New Leaf. The Summer of 2013 was so nostalgic. I also remember Mario Kart DS being very nostalgic because in 4th grade, our school let us bring electronic devices. Even though I had to use my sister's DS to play Nintendogs, mostly because it was a sort of damaged rental copy, and had to not play for the first few hours, thanks to a storm that stopped me from charging my DS, and there was lightning literally about a few hundred feet away, those were some of the best days of my life.
 
I get really nostalgic when playing the Gen 2 Pokemon games as with playing any GC title that I had when I was little.


OH AND SUPER MARIO 64
