Together Retro 2012 Nominations & Discussion Thread

For Sports I think maybe we could do the Mario Tennis games. I know they're not very realistic or anything, but there are mario tennis games on GBC, GBA, N64, Gamecube and Virtual Boy, plus there's a new one due out on 3DS next year.

I was thinking Virtua Tennis. Those games are on like every platform including handhelds.

Two more:

June: Ogre Battle (or) Ogre Battle 64.

And 1 vote for Doom!

Thanks alienjesus. I would lump pinball in with party games this year.

As for FPS titles, May is the 20th anniversary of Wolf3d. We could do a 2 parter that month and do Wolf3d and its predecessor Castle Wolfenstien (which is like a Metal Gear title).

Pinball – Crush Series?

it's starting to look good.

Any other ideas for RPG's from anyone? Any other strategy games from anyone? Gunstar should be bolded since I co-signed it.

[TEKTORO]

I took a moment to think of stuff

Jan-Adventure:Young Merlin,Star Tropics or Golden Axe Warrior.

Feb-Fighter:Tekken 3 or Darkstalkers 3

Mar-RPG:Car Battler Joe,Final Lap Twin or PhantasyStarIV

April-Sports/Racing:CrashTeamRacing,Wipeout,WaveRace,HydroThunder or SEGA Bass Fishing.

May-FPS:Jumping Flash,sorta a platformer but I think he shoots death beams too

Jun-Strategy:Advance Wars or Ygddra Union

July-RnG/Beatemup:Astroboy Omega Factor or Guardian Heroes

Aug-Party:Bomberman in some form

Sep-Platformer:Flashback:Quest for Idenity

Oct-Horror:Zombies ate my neighbors

Nov-Puzzle:Dr.Robotniks:MBM/Dr.Mario

Dec-Shmup:Stringer or R-Type.RaidenIV maybe?

Sorry of just doing a list with little explanation,but most of it there is familiar stuff.

[Opa Opa]

RPG- How about a Dragon Warrior/quest title? I don't know which title but the series has had a rebound in the states and the remakes are readily available.

[alienjesus]

Bolded Sparkster and Gunstar because I missed those.

I'm liking the list at the minute too, I think it's looking better than this years one. I just hope we don't force through any games that actually don't really get played *cough* Populous *cough*, but these all seem like they'll be great popular choices. I want to play basically all the games in the Adventure, Party, and Shmup categories, and most in all the others.

[noiseredux]

Jun-Strategy:Ygddra Union

I'd go for this one. GBA and PSP ports.

[o.pwuaioc]

^ Bomberman! That'll get my vote.

@Noise: For RPGs, since you're asking, I'll vote for Ogre Battle (or OB64) twice, since it's not only a strategy game, but also an RPG. And it's great, the best RPG on the N64.

Another suggestion would be Revelations: Demon Slayer for GB/GBC, since everyone should play this at some point. :P
