So simply, which 8 bit platformer was your favorite? Super Mario Bros 3? Metroid? Mega Man? Maybe even Shovel Knight (it counts people!)

XBOX ONE/Wii U/3DS/PC

Super Mario Bros. 3.

Any other answer just feels wrong.

Pixel Art can be fun.

Mario 3 is one of my favorite games of all time, so I'll go with that one. I'd still play it if my GBA wasn't cut in half.

I'm now filled with determination.

Super Mario Bros. 3 is my personal favorite but the competition is stiff.

Mega Man 1 for me.

"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
