I don't know I just figured it did with GC controller like mine did with Melee.

#24 Fire Emblem Path of Radiance

The definitive Fire Emblem game, a great story with memorable characters, great level design, no padding, no pace brakers, not too long or too short, just one consistent, challenging and fun adventure that I can find time to replay every now and then.

It was also the one that introduced me to the franchise and have plenty of fond memories from my childhood, which from what I remember the most is the fight against the Black Knight, one of the best build ups to any fight. 

#23 Pokémon Black/ White Version

Still my favorite Pokémon adventure (you got close Sun/Moon), games with a lot of small details that makes them my favorite, the pinch theme and the last Pokémon theme for the leaders, some differences in city designs depending on the version, increasing instruments in certain town, especially something memorable in the Bridge Village, the fact that only new Pokémon show up for the main game, the great storyline with memorable characters, either be N or your friends Cheren and Bianca, the incredible OST and lovely sprite work, just an amazing title overall.

And all dem Pokéships it spawned

A Trio of Tales

  #22 Tales of Vesperia (Xbox 360) / #21 Tales of the Abyss (3DS)  / #20 Tales of Eternia (PS)

Not my absolute favorites of the series, but I find these 3 pretty much on par in terms of quality.

The Tales of series is pretty special to me, my favorite RPG series with its trademark fast paced real time combat system, they are an absolute joy to play, it has had its bumps, but overall they are games I can enjoy multiple times, even at their worst like Graces, only talking about the main titles.

Tales of Eternia is one I got to experience pretty recently and it was worth the investment, it reminds me of another title with a great development of atmosphere and setting, establishes two worlds pretty well and fleshes out their charm and personality, a pretty personal journey between the main characters, brought out by the plentiful character interaction with or without skits, has its frustrating moments (freaking Aifread) but is one of the most charming Tales of out there, 11/10 PS1 english dub ftw too.

Tales of Vesperia, still the prettiest Tales of game, with one stellar soundtrack and a cast of memorable characters that drive the plot forward through their ambitions and goals rather than the plot moving their characters forward, is a pretty set in stone cast, that while not as much development as other entries, manages to make for a pretty engaging storyline regardless, it has some pacing issues in the combat regarding skills unlocks, but once it gets going is great.

Tales of the Abyss, a title that can be pretty divisive due to its characters, if you are in for the ride, it becomes one of the darkest, most emotional and memorable entry in the series yet, Luke fon Fabre, the main character, has one of the best character arcs I have had the pleasure to experience and the whole personal stories that each main character has to settle with one of the villians makes some of the fights even more engaging.

Oh, is it Metroid: Samus Returns?

Yes.

Hmm, I never played that, but probably should try it out, as I liked Radiant Dawn.

Finally Ka-Pi guessed it. Yes, Battle for Wesnoth. I had to make a more specific hint, because it is time to unveil (already a few days late, but I'm catching up).

Battle for Wesnoth is a tactical round-based strategy with strong RPG-elements (not unlike Fire Emblem games). The fights happen on a hex-grid. While in Fire Emblem all fighters are given to you through the story, in Wesnoth you hire units of certain types additionally to the heroes you get with the story. Hiring units or recalling some you used in the last scenario costs you gold, so that limits the troops you can bring. Gold is earned by capturing villages, so if you do that cleverly, you can have a bigger army.

The setting is a medieval magical fantasy world. Many of the factions you can play are typical: humans with knights, mages or sometimes thieves, dwarfes, elves, orcs and so on. Merfolk on the other hand was something I don't see happen that often. Or undeads.

The game has currently 16 main campaigns. I say currently, because the game is constantly developed on. That is not all. The game has a thriving community, that develops tons of user-generated campaigns, maps or add-ons. Each campaign has it's own story, although they may be connected as all happens in the same setting.

If playing the single-player campaigns isn't enough for you, you can play online matches.

Something that is special is, that the game is an open-source game. Usually I see that OSS-games suck. While the open-source community excels at technical stuff, it often is missing artists or a general concise direction. I think the art here is good (although you could argue it is only 2D, but many of the games in my list are, so that shocks me not), the music is pretty great and the concept of the main campaigns is great.

The game can be downloaded for free from the website: http://wesnoth.org/
