Knocked out two games today so I'm ready for more and maybe others picking them for me haha.

After Galerians, I still am in a bit of a classic RE mood though, so I may try to hit up Fear Effect 2, Parasite Eve 2, or TRAG, that are all in my backlog and look similar.

Also was slightly disappointed Shantae and the Pirate's Curse was less Metroidvania than I was hoping for, and I've been wanting to replay Metroid Zero Mission again since it's on the Wii U eShop now, but the recent Castlevania thread is tempting me to hit up Circle of the Moon first. I tackled Harmony and replayed Aria last year for the Metroidvania ones, all others I've beaten but Circle is one of my favorites and it's been awhile. I'm really hoping Nintendo can put the DS Castlevania games on there too.

Also for some reason I'm thinking maybe it's finally time for Viewtiful Joe.

Well here's my backlog if anyone has any votes:

How come that backlog only consists of modern games?

I have beaten all the games shown in your quote, and I can recommend them. (I've beaten other games in your backlog as well, but I wouldn't recommend them as much as these.) The very best in the list is Nocturne. Viewtiful Joe is a ton of fun too, but only if you play through it on Adults difficulty. Kids is way too easy.

While looking at Sarge's username, I had an epiphany: Lt. Surge from Pokemon Gen 1's name is a pun because 'Sarge' and 'Surge' are the same work in Japanese (Saaji). Not even remotely important, but I was proud of myself for noticing it, I guess Xp

To Bone, anything past the Vectrex is modern.

Hmm. Are you sure it isn't because all his pokemon are electric type and "surge" is in relation to "electrical surge" lol?
