This thread reminds me, I've been meaning to replay Secret of Mana for a while now. I still have my cartridge but I might just virtual console it, too bad Nintendo is being lazy with bringing games over to the Wii U shop.
E.V.O. the Search for Eden is also a criminally under played game. Super unique.

The games are in the same universe, but afaik there's no story relation between them. If you do play it I recommend some patience, the bosses in that game are brutal (unless you do some exaggerated grinding) and like most JRPGs of the time there's some really cryptic shit in that game, good luck beating it without using a guide lol. But overall it's a really amazing game, it also has one of the best endings in any game imo. |
Sounds pretty sweet! I prefer not to use a guide, but I'm not ashamed to use one if the only alternative is wandering around for hours on end trying to figure out what to do next, heh.
With all the recommendations I'm getting for Illusion of Gaia, I think I'll play that first, but Terranigma will come right after.

The Mana series is one I've always wanted to do a proper playthrough of, as I really enjoyed Legend of Mana of the PS1. Have you played Seiken Densetsu 3? It was never released outside of Japan, but, from what I played of it, it is pretty enjoyable, and the fan translation is top notch.
Actually, after watching a few videos of EVO, it looks like it gets pretty interesting. The sight of a bunny kicking the hell out of a Mammoth is hilarious! I should probably give it another chance...
You haven't played Chrono Trigger?? Holy crap, get that game right now!
"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

EVO is fun, and gives you a few options leveling up (you can remain a dinosaur, become a bird, a mammal, or a man to end the game for instance.)
I love the games in the Mana series that I've played, but those are only Secret, Legend, and Sword of. Sword of Mana is a remake of the first game in the Mana series on the GBA. It's a great game if you liked Secret of Mana.

Sounds like it has a lot of replay value.
I had no idea that Sword of Mana was a remake... O_O
Well, thanks for the suggestions everyone! I'll start with Super Mario World and Illusion of Gaia, but I'll be trying out most of the games mentioned in this thread...I probably won't finish many of them, though. Heh.
Zelda is majestic.
Also, a big surprise, for me, has been Assault Suit Walken (Cybernator in the west).
