Garcian Smith said: Seconding Bomberman '93. It's the best version of Bomberman out there (yes, including Bomberman Live on the 360) aside from Saturn Bomberman, and I doubt we'll be seeing that any time soon...
@omgwtfbbq:To play 5 players on certain TG16 games, you need at least one Gamecube controller. As you boot up the game, hold down "R" on that controller and it'll register as the 5th player.
As for other games, Kirby's Adventure is the best value on the VC right now aside from SMB3. It's extremely long for an NES game, loads of fun, and only 500 points. I'd also HIGHLY recommend Beyond Oasis for the Genesis, which is a hybrid Zelda-like/beat 'em up. Think of all of the puzzle-solving and exploration of Legend of Zelda, only with a Final Fight/Streets of Rage-esque combat system. Yes, it's just as much fun as it sounds; that is to say, a heck of a lot.
If I were you, I'd probably go with Bomberman + Beyond Oasis now, leaving you with 200 points. Then, next time you grab Wii points, you can get Kirby and another quality TG16 game (I'd recommend Bonk 2, another excellent platformer, or Neutopia, the TG16's Zelda-like series - which is actually better than the NES Zeldas.) |
I agree with you about Bomberman 93 and Kirby, but Beyond Oasis??!? Damn... that game is pure awful. I expected to really like it and when I popped it in it felt like a shovelware game on the SNES. It may have some great people who worked on it but the game is HORRIBLE. One of my worst purchases easily. I'm a huge Zelda fan and I've got nothing against Zelda clones, this game just sucks.
Great games: Super Contra, Castlevania IV, Actraiser, Air Zonk, Donkey Kong Country 1 and 2, Super Metroid, Paper Mario, Punch Out, Rtype (any in the series), Star Fox 64
Each of the games I listed are must plays if you've never played them before (including Bomberman 93 and Kirby). You won't regret any of the purchases. I suggest you start off with Super Metroid if you've never played it before and grab one of the other SNES games I listed to try something maybe new to you.
You'll understand why many people chose Super Metroid as their favourite all time game, the thing is loaded with awesome from beginning to end. A lot of love went into that game and it still looks as good as ever.
