I'd still like to keep it to games from Nintendo though cause if you include 3rd party games then it almost becomes whats your favorite game.

Well, it's hard for me NOT to include 3rd party, that's all. I'm so picky when it comes to games. Hubby will be like "oh, you'll love this" and I totally don't. Or "this game is so great. you have to see it." and it's so boring. It's not that the games suck, I just get so picky. Like LoZ? Love the games and abhor playing them. Would rather cut off my hands. TP was the first Zelda game that I adored the actual playing of. Otherwise, I'd rather watch them. They're fabulous games, just not for me to play. Know what I mean?

Anyways, it was hard for me to narrow down some of my favorites too. Plus I'm not always knowledgeable on exactly who made the game.
Oh well.

The Pikimin series is also worth a mention too.

I guess 'Game and Watch' gives my age away, I grew up in the 80s and spent most of my time in the arcades at the weekends (Sega and Capcom ruled here as Nintendo had very few releases)

Never had a NES, wasn't that popular in England, most kids seemed to have home computers, like the ZX Spectrum, instead. Are NES games any good? Zelda and Metroid on the SNES are still great games to play now, but are the NES versions or were they just good at the time? Same question with the GB/GBC versions too.

You say that nintendo rpg's cannot compare with dragon quest and final fantasy.

I have one word for the best rpg series ever...Mother. Only mother 2 was released in the US under the name of earthbound. You have to play them if you love RPG's, wacked out humor, and huge lands full of quirky characters.

Of course NES games are good. I still play them all the time. Although it could just be one of those things you have to grow up playing for it to still remain great. I guess I could say the same about the GB/GBC games but if you can you should check them out at least to see what you think of them.

Well I guess I nearly forgot about Earthbound. I'll admit that it is the most unique RPG I've ever played but I still can't quite put it as my favorite. I'd like to play the one for GBA but of course it was only released in Japan.

I bought Mother 3 on play-asia.com. Sadly though, I have to use a translation. Right now, there is a super amazing sale going on there all this week where you can get mother 3 for only $15. That comes to $20-21 with shipping.

That is the best site to buy imports and the ds and advance don't have region locks so you can play them.
