Looking for some retro titles to play.

Metal Slug Series
-> it's one of the most simple fun-to-play 2D arcade games I've seen. Just shoot the gun, throw grenades, collect weapon power up, ride the tanks, fight the boss, enjoy the music.

It's simple, just look at the visuals, audio, the enemies character, and the backgrounds, no need to undertand complicated mechanic or read Sophisticated words.

You may stumble upon secrets or hidden places, but it's not that much important, it's simply for replayability. Ofc there's some background story behind everything, but that's on the game case and the wiki for those who cares.

• Animal Crossing

Any titles suggested would be appreciated; no need for any links or whatnot; I can source them myself~

They are all PC but pretty good.

@MrPopocap SoC and ICO I had for ps3, classics. Now that you mentioned Budokai, I will get it asap. Totally forgot about it and also the Shippuuden games from the PS2 era.

@ACertainPassingUser Metal Slug I only heard about of. It is time to try it~

@Poleg I still have all of those CDs When I got Cossacks first I was reading that thick manual all the time, damn I loved that game.

Legend of dragoon

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Dragoon

It was the first JRPG I'd ever played when I was like 8 years old it had a very unique and interesting and sometimes frustrating combat mechanic that in all honestly the lack of has always made all other JRPG games feel kinda boring in comparison to me ever since

 

[owotrucked]

Breath of Fire 3 and 4

 

[georgelee5786]

Battlefront 2 for the PS2.

 

[melchi]

There are some neo geo bundles that have metal slug and many other good fighting / beat-em-up games.

 

[gaylolis]

speaking of evo: search for eden, i found its predecessor. it had more story than the snes ver, that actually went more after the point where the snes ver ended.

man for a 1990 game i couldn't believe it still look so good.

 

[Paul_Tromba]

Castlevania, just saying.

 

[ACertainPassingUser]

Castlevania, just saying.

Richter: Die monster. You don't belong in this world!
Dracula: It was not by my hand that I am once again given flesh. I was called here by humans who wish to pay me tribute.
Richter: Tribute!?! You steal men's souls and make them your slaves!
Dracula: Perhaps the same could be said of all religions...
Richter: Your words are as empty as your soul! Mankind ill needs a savior such as you!

Dracula: What is a man?
(throws his wine glass to the floor) *Prang* A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk... Have at you!

Play Golden Sun on the GameBoy. Top-tier.

Zelda spirit tracks

 

[Einergaenger]

I really recommend Gungage for PSX! Best action shooter in the console, imo.

 

[Skyfall]

Sweet Home (NES)

 

[Anon2024]

After that:
1. Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne (Steam Version is best)
2. Wario Land 2 (3 also if you like 2) - Gameboy Color
3. Zelda Oracles - Both games. - Gameboy Color
4. Zelda Link's awakening (I haven't played Link to the Past but I've heard a lot of good things about that one too)
5. Jak and Daxter (2 and 3 also if you enjoy the first one, 2 is the best in my opinion) - PS2/PS3
6. Kirby's Dreamland 2 (Gameboy)

Those are the ones I enjoyed and I tried to go off what was on your list.

 

[Sabruness]

i would recommend the PS1 and PS2 era Ace Combat games.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ace_Combat

a fun little oddball game is Seek and Destroy (PS2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seek_and_Destroy_(2002_video_game).

of course, any of the earlier pokemon and mario kart games.
