Games you wish you could play for the first time again?

Batman: Arkham Asylum, Donkey Kong Country 2 and Metroid Prime... Respectively my 3rd, 2nd and 1st in my top 5 games of all time. The sense of discovery and empowerment... Something I never found in other games... Cough... Zelda... Cough...
 
FF IX.

My younger brother used to have an old PS1 when we were younger, a handmedown from a cousin, with FFIX with it. But we didn't have a save card (or we did and it corrupted, I don't remember anymore), so we only got to the Evil Forest and Ice Cavern part before we had to shut down from our parents and start all over again the next time we played.

Ah well, we were so young and our understanding of the game was limited to walk around, enemies and 'attack' 'attack' and 'attack'. But I always enjoyed it, especially watching Vivi, and I remember being engrossed by the music.

Just for the sake of it, I should play that game once XD
 
The original Animal Crossing. I'd love to spend hours working on Nook's Tutorial again and being so entranced by a virtual world and not have any dislike towards any animal. Also Pokemon, for nostalgia reasons.
 
I'd have to say pokemon. I played the original (sadly I have no idea were the game is now) and learning everything from having no knowledge was amazing! I can play the new games but I know how it works, I know what I'm going to find. It's also how i learned how to read. First adventure I had no idea what people were saying, I was too young so what happened was a surprise.

Or super Mario bros!! Not knowing what every level was about and how to beat it kept me playing. Now, I have nearly every level memorized. I know were there is a hidden platform, were the secrets are, what will come out of the box, ect.

Mostly old games, were it was more unpredictable. Or maybe I just became too smart and can guess a games story direction.

Awww same here, the nostalgia kills me... I wish that I could not only play for the first time again, but also as a kid. It felt less like a video game and more like a real animal village, as weird as it sounds, but that's just the power of childhood imagination I guess...

/nostalgia
 
Minecraft, Animal Crossing GC in specific, maybe WW. I know it said besides Animal Crossing but still. Best time of my life right there, my cousin and my brother played with me all the time. I remember my cousin coming up in the evening and we would play animal crossing on the gamecube around 5-8ish and catch all the cool summer bugs and fish, take turns, trying to renovate our houses, pay them off, etc. Was so awesome! Then WW came around, played it with my cousin, we talked about it quite a lot but didn't play as much as before. My other cousin also played WW a lot with me when I went down where he lived in Virginia. We played hours on end as we cleaned up his town some punk he knew irl trashed with cheats, and looked for tarantulas and scorpions, both of us were very freaked out by them but the suspense was what made it the best :D
 
okami amazing experience 10/10

I've actually been thinking of replaying this recently. I put it off for years because I just didn't think I'd be able to get into it but then I caved and bought off the Playstation Store last year and I absolutely loved it. One of the finest gaming experiences I've had the pleasure of.

Definitely Pokemon and the Professor Layton games. I had so much fun going through those the first time and it isn't the same doing it again when you know what to do.
 
Metal Gear Solid 2 or 3.

I've played both of those so many times, but the first time playing them was the best. MGS2 had a really well-written story, one that challenged the player's intellect while at the same time trying to confuse them as much as possible. And MGS3 had a really big emotional impact on me.

If there were ever any games I wish I could have a fresh experience with again, it's those two.

This this this this this.

They're both so powerful to experience for the first time. Even sitting there, and replaying them over again after having not played them for years it gets to you.
 
999, once you know the full story, even if you forget details, it will never be as interesting as the first time you played it.
I guess that's the same for every story with big plot twists though.
 
Super Paper Mario for sure. It's an all time favorite game of mine and I had such a blast with it. I love everything about it and I wish I could experience it all fresh for the first time again. Oh to relive the plot twist and fall in love with my favorite villain AGAIN. Dimentioooooooo~ X3

Er... I mean... yeah. :lemon:
 
Layton, Phoenix Wright, 999... and basically all puzzle/mystery games haha
also pokemon!!! I was so excited the first time I played that game as a kid :)
 
I would like to play Super Mario 64 again. The music was awesome and i liked playing through the levels. Brings back memories
 
The Company of Myself is one that comes to mind haha!

It's a really short flash game but I didn't have the heart to play it again.
 
Super Mario Sunshine
Mario Kart: Double Dash
Super Mario Galaxy (1st one, never really liked the second one as much...)
 
Lets see

Pokemon Leafgreen~ I was young and didn't want to train up after I got to the elite four so I continuosly restarted but I do wish I would have beat it because I have never experienced that post game.

Pokemon Emerald~ Also pretty young and kept giving up once I got to Liza and Tate since I thought they were too hard I am actually currently playing that one now and have to train up since I am at Liza and Tate kind of a funny coincedience but after I get past them it will be the farthest I have gotten but it would have been more fun to beat it my first time around

and then

Rune Factory 4~ Out of nowhere I got this game and it was super fun and I was like addicted to it and it was during my visit to Virginia and I even got my little brother to get it the only problem is once you beat the main story and get married and have a kid it gets pretty boring but just playing through the game as a first timer again would be fun :)
