I have a DC and two modded Saturn's. I've come to accept though, I will never cover all the systems or even close to it. I feel okay relinquishing these two while focusing my energy on other sytems. The Saturn library is legitimately daunting to me and it also doesn't help that half the library was Japanese only, along with lots of insane prices. I was burning games for one of my modded Saturn's years ago, but it was a very elaborate process and I feel a bit too lazy to re-learn it. I'm sure there's some exclusives I should consider, or maybe some nice ports of 32bit stuff on DC. But yeah, I kind of feel okay not focusing on these systems much.

I also honestly don't have much interest in the NES anymore, physically. Went through two of them that died from my childhood, too much use I guess haha. And it's just impossible to find good working systems now. Top loaders are in the wild but pretty pricey. I love the NES, but a lot of my favorites have gotten ported or been in collections on other systems over the years.

Still might try and scoop up more stuff for the SNES and Genesis though. I also want to rebuild an N64 collection, regret selling most of my games for that one.

Contra III: The Alien Wars - YES! Beat it this year, damn it was amazing and holds up like magic
Ganpuru: Gunman's Proof - looks very cool
Lennus II: Fuuin no Shito - looks very cool

GameCube
Phantasy Star Online: Episode I & II Plus - haven't you played PSO a lot already? Not sure if this offers much more over other versions

Sega CD
Shining Force CD - no personal experience with it, but it sounds excellent

PlayStation
Tales of Destiny II - I feel bad owning this at its crazy prices now and played it this year, but hit a brick wall boss 5 hours in and lost interest. Think it depends if you REALLY like Tales and need more. Great graphics but seems like vanilla JRPG otherwise.

Reprise wrote:Super Nintendo:
Killer Instinct - I really dig it but it's nothing amazing
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest - if you liked DKC and want more, with higher difficulty, check it out. DKC1 is my fave, but most say this is their favorite
Pilotwings - no, don't think it holds up

Saturn:
Duke Nukem 3D - This port looks very cool and sounds great
Resident Evil - think you're better off going with the PSX versions, don't get the Director's Cut though with the weird new music

PS2:
Silent Hill 3 - do you like the first two? Get it!
Silent Hill 4: The Room - do you want something different? Get it! Love this one, sadly doesn't have a lot of fans but I thought it was amazing. One of the weirdest storylines I've ever seen in a game

PS1:
Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix - controls are very bad
Spyro the Dragon - very hard to go back to
Final Fantasy IX - not my favorite, but many fans love it. Worth checking out for sure
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - the 2D ones are in the vein of Another World, Flashback, Blackthorne, etc. Complex weird cinematic platformer. Your mileage will vary

N64:
Diddy Kong Racing
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Wave Race 64

Dreamcast:
Star Wars Episode I: Racer - really cool, but insanely hard. Couldn't beat it back in the day, it's super long too and Armored Core complex with mods/upgrades for vehicles.

Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth

I highly recommend both of these if you're ok with a lot VN style reading. I honestly can't think of anything that I disliked in either of them. Just make sure you play on the harder difficulty and play Mask of Deception first. The easier difficulty was fine for me (not frustrating but still some challenge), but it would definitely be too easy for you

Reprise wrote: Code: Realize − Guardian of Rebirth

I found this really boring and I had to drop it. If you're less picky about characters (I didn't like any of them), then it might be ok then?

My personal wishlist is super messy haha. I have a hard time figuring out whether I would like something or not, so I add nearly everything that slightly catches my eye and try to prune it later. Also I'm super forgetful

So long list in spoilers! (also not adding older games since I tend to emulate them and buy later if I like them).

Long list is long

And I'm probably missing some too gah

Post by **Exhuminator** » Sun Nov 12, 2017 2:35 am

Your list was pretty long. But, these are the ones I'd prioritize:

Gamecube:
F-Zero GX (This F-Zero was so good it killed the series.)
Lost Kingdoms
Lost Kingdoms II
Skies of Arcadia Legends (Worth the $$$.)

Wii:
Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories (PAL/JPN) (Absolutely amazing game, but play Trace Memory first.)
Endless Ocean: Blue World (Again, absolutely amazing.)
Sin & Punishment: Successor of the Skies (My all time favorite Wii game.)
Trauma Team (So underrated it's criminal.)

WiiU:
Paper Mario: Color Splash

DS:
Front Mission DS
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 (If you've never played this, do so immediately!)
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story
Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer
Rune Factory 3 (I think you would like this a lot.)
Trace Memory (Again, if you've not played this yet, do so now lady!)

3DS:
Etrian Mystery Dungeon

PS2:
Final Fantasy XII (Get the PS4 version though.)
Front Mission 4
Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (Possibly my all time favorite JRPG these days.)

Michigan (You want the PAL version, it's in English and has 50/60hz switch.)
Rogue Hearts Dungeon

Arcana Heart 3: Love Max!!!
Mass Effect Trilogy
Red Dead Redemption (If you have a 360, play it on that though.)
Rune Factory: Tides of Destiny
Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed

Gal*Gun

PS4:
Akiba's Beat
Atelier Sophie: The Alchemist of the Mysterious Book
Bloodborne
Blue Reflection (You are awesome.)
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age (Don't need that PS2 version if ya get this.)
PSYCHO-PASS: Mandatory Happiness (This might be better on Vita.)
Ys VII (What about VIII?)

Vita:
Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
Danganronpa V3
Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls
MeiQ: Labyrinth of Death
Operation Abyss: New Tokyo Legacy

Being a resident N64 fan, I'm going to disagree with some of Exhuminators opinions on your list Xeogred. Diddy Kong Racing is essential and a ton of fun, and Wave Race has aged great. I really enjoyed both.

Rogue Squadron is fine. I think the 2nd one on Gamecube is much better though.

I don't recommend Glover. It's OK, I guess, but I found the controls cumbersome and the physics awkward and it wasn't a favourite of mine. I beat it for the first time this year (or maybe last year? It was recent, anyhow)

Post by **Reprise** » Sun Nov 12, 2017 8:31 am

Ok, some really interesting thoughts on my list, guys. Thanks for sharing. I feel like I should explain some of them for context. I'll try and address people's thoughts without thiss getting to messy, if I can.

Exhuminator wrote: Killer Instinct <---I'd just play the MAME version. <--- I enjoy 'inferior' console ports of games. I find it interesting. Plus I'm a console gamer really. I don't dabble with emulators or PC gaming.
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest <---Good, hard, haven't beat it yet myself. <--- Yeah, I hear it's the best and as I own DKC1 and 3, it literally makes no sense that I don't own 2
Pilotwings <---I love this game, have beaten it many times. I have no idea how it would be to play without nostalgia goggles though. <--- Yeah, I want to get it for that reason. Loved it as a kid. Haven't played it since.

Saturn:
Duke Nukem 3D <---PC version not better? <--- The Saturn version is technically speaking an incredibly impressive port and I loved Lobotomy Software's Saturn games back in the 90s. I'm a huge Saturn fan, so this port really intrigues me. Like I said before, I'm a console gamer mostly. Digital Foundry have a great video on the DN3D ports if you're interested.
Resident Evil <---PS1 version not better? <--- Huge Saturn fan again and its ports intrigue me like I said. The Saturn version is a very decent port and has a whole load of extras that I believe may be exclusive to the Saturn version (although they could be on the Director's Cut, I have no idea).
Command & Conquer <---PC version not better? <--- See Duke Nukem. I used to own the PC version back in the day.

PS3:
Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box <---Maybe better on 360 if you have one. <--- I don't own a 360 unfortunately.

PS1:
Fear Effect 2: Retro Helix <---Plays like ass, but it's got ass, so <--- Love and own the first game, but yeah, I'm aware they've aged.
Spyro the Dragon <---Was never good beyond impressive programming. <--- I owned it back in the day and loved it, but yeah, Alienjesus posted his impressions on it recently and given the reasonably high price for what it is, I do have second thoughts on reacquiring it.
Medal of Honor: Underground <---Fantastic FPS, very underrated. <--- Good to know, thanks. I've never played it, but I always thought it looked awesome. I loved Frontlines on the PS2/GC/XB
Final Fantasy IX <---Terribly overrated. <--- Oh really? Why so? I've never personally played it, but it seems really highly rated by the fans,
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee <---Do you like burp and fart jokes? Enjoy. <--- Why, yes. Yes I do

N64:
Diddy Kong Racing <---I find it boring. <--- I personally like it. I haven't played it in a few years though, but I'm sure I still enjoy it.
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron <---Best Rogue Squadron. <--- I personally prefer the second on the Gamecube, but yeah, it is awesome.
Mario Tennis <---Boring. <--- Blasphemy!
Star Wars Episode I: Battle for Naboo <---I don't know. <--- It's made by the same team that made Rogue Squadron, as far as I know. Reviews were more mixed, but it interests me for the first reason alone.
Glover <---LOL why? <--- Haha I wanted it as a kid. Never got it, so it's always been on my radar.

Xeogred wrote:
PS2:
Silent Hill 3 - do you like the first two? Get it! <--- Yeah, love the first two and have never played any other Silent Hill games (other than the reboot/reimagining on the Wii). I'm looking to explore the series further.
Silent Hill 4: The Room - do you want something different? Get it! Love this one, sadly doesn't have a lot of fans but I thought it was amazing. One of the weirdest storylines I've ever seen in a game <--- I think it was your views on the game that made me really want to check it out. Thanks for sharing again, as what you said about it before sounds great to me.

PS1:
Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee - the 2D ones are in the vein of Another World, Flashback, Blackthorne, etc. Complex weird cinematic platformer. Your mileage will vary <--- Yeah,
I love those cinematic platformers from the 90s. They're very clunky by today's standards, but I still get some enjoyment out of them.

Just to add, I also don't think FFIX is overrated either - it's my favourite in the series.
