This game blew my mind. I know it's a "cult Classic", but It still deserves more.

I never think about Earthbound because I'm constantly talking about it. Year on year.
I think I always bring it up in combination with Metroid (NES) because both have unique Hip Tanaka soundtracks that use similar techniques for different mood-based outcomes. That is, there are a lot of silent spaces.
In fact, I'm playing it right now. Halloween, the Threed zombie war is a classic.
With that thought in mind.
Again, not Nintendo, but exclusive to Nintendo consoles: Soul Blazer, Illusion of Time, and Terranigma. These games were all very well regarded in the SNES era, but seemed to be largely forgotten by the end of the N64/PSX era, with really only Terranigma (the newest one) being talked about by that point.
I think for a while these games came up in discussion during the Wii era, because we were expecting them on the VC. They didn't arrive. Then talks went dormant again. We got an ActRaiser HD remaster, which was the first game. Shiny new assets. But, ActRaiser, while an interesting game, was my least favourite of the four... don't get me wrong, I very much like all four!
