SUPER G'N'G!!

Luigi's Mansion.
I kind of want to go back and play it.
And Metroid II would be a pain to obtain legally...

Dang you people for neutralizing my vote!

Shame on your for not already owning a copy.

I actually played through Metroid II a couple of years ago. It's still a fun game, but the lack of a map is really painful. It's also deceptively linear (if you can figure out where you're supposed to go next).

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #5 on:** January 20, 2009, 07:54:14 PM »

I see it goes for $12-20 on eBay so I wouldn't think it would be that hard to find.

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #6 on:** January 20, 2009, 10:54:34 PM »

I always wanted a copy of that. I wanted to buy it new, which is impossible nowadays.

Lol I think my copy is new because I believe it has never been opened!

NWR_Lindy · « **Reply #8 on:** January 20, 2009, 11:22:30 PM »

Let's make a deal!

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #9 on:** January 20, 2009, 11:24:07 PM »

I just feel stupid for never buying Metroid II whenever I saw it on flea markets and stuff.
Although I haven't seen it in years, which sucks because now I have more money to burn.

TheYoungerPlumber · « **Reply #10 on:** January 21, 2009, 12:31:05 AM »

I'd be happy with any of these games except Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts.

Sundoulos · « **Reply #11 on:** January 21, 2009, 08:01:14 AM »

I'd love to play Metroid II, but i don't have a working Gameboy anymore. The screen bit the dust some time ago.

Luigi's Mansion for me.

You can play Metroid II on a GBC, GBA, or SP... and I can't remember about Micro. I bought my copy for about $15 (Player's Choice edition) in late 1998, because the GB Color was my first handheld system. Technologically, it is a remarkable feat. It's also an interesting "missing link" between Metroid and Super Metroid.

Although I respect Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts, it is not a game I want to play again. I'm also not keen to pay $8 for a game in which I probably can't beat the first level.

Not micro, but you can play it on the Game Boy Player as well.

NWR_DrewMG · « **Reply #14 on:** January 21, 2009, 01:05:28 PM »

I voted for Metroid II just because no one else had yet, and I nominated it. But any of these choices would be great. I got SF Adventures in the mail yesterday, so I'll have that ready to go if we ever decide to do that game.

Nick DiMola · « **Reply #15 on:** January 21, 2009, 01:07:45 PM »

I will selfishly request Metroid II since I bought it recently at Gamestop during their GB/GBC clearance sale. Can't go wrong with Metroid II for a dollar

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #16 on:** January 21, 2009, 03:38:36 PM »

You suck, Nick. The Gamestops around me have crap and expensive Pokemon games.

Jonnyboy117 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 22, 2009, 01:43:13 AM »

Quick note: the runner-up in voting will automatically be included in the next poll. The rest will rotate out but could come back eventually in a future poll.

GoldenPhoenix · « **Reply #18 on:** January 22, 2009, 02:39:29 AM »

Someone must stop Super Ghouls and Ghosts.

Dasmos · « **Reply #19 on:** January 22, 2009, 10:29:10 AM »

If Super Ghouls and Ghosts does get through, I vote we all play on professional. It'll be fun.

vudu · « **Reply #20 on:** January 22, 2009, 01:50:15 PM »

You can't stop G'N'G!!

Seriously though, why are GCN and GBA games even included in this list? They're barely retro.

Jonnyboy117 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 22, 2009, 04:54:17 PM »

They were released over a year ago, and that's enough for me. The feature is not as retro-focused as its name implies.

TheYoungerPlumber · « **Reply #22 on:** January 22, 2009, 07:54:29 PM »

Ugh, I hope people aren't voting for SGnG just so they can hear the crew complain about it. If so, that's not cool, guys. We shouldn't start off this feature with such a mean-spirited attitude.

NWR_Neal · « **Reply #23 on:** January 22, 2009, 08:12:49 PM »

C'mon guys! I want to play as fraidy-cat Luigi!
Was SGnG the one where you had to beat it twice to actually beat it? A friend of mine wasted good life playing that game to completion.
