Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Ooooh... I'd love to hear some discussion on Mischief Makers. That game was great!

broodwars · « **Reply #378 on:** August 09, 2010, 02:40:50 PM »

I've already suggested Ogre Battle 64, and that recommendation hasn't changed. I'd also find discussion on Conker's Bad Fur Day; Jet Force Gemini and Donkey Kong 64 interesting, but those aren't up on the VC.

Go get an N64 and these games and play them, Broodwars. For a minute there I was thinking that my dream of wanting these games on VC had wore off on you.

I already have most of those games. I think I got rid of a few when I donated most of my N64 collection.

The Wii. It is a last gen system after all.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #383 on:** September 09, 2010, 02:23:12 PM »

Oh vudu you aren't running this.You aren't staff so keep your comments to yourself.

Kytim89 · « **Reply #384 on:** September 09, 2010, 03:26:17 PM »

I would like to nominate Conker's Bad Fur Day or TMNT: Turtles in Time for the SNES.

Halbred · « **Reply #385 on:** September 09, 2010, 03:46:32 PM »

I'm also nominating Goldeneye 007. I think it would be a good game to revisit, what with the remake coming out before too long.

Mop it up · « **Reply #386 on:** September 09, 2010, 06:34:18 PM »

Goldeneye on Wii is not a remake, Activision have specifically stated this.

Even so, it might be interesting to review what is the first great shooter on a gaming system. Personally, although I think it's still playable, it definitely doesn't hold up compared to modern shooters.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #387 on:** September 09, 2010, 07:02:27 PM »

The Wii game is based on the GoldenEye story, not the first GoldenEye game. I hate the term re-imagining as movie makers use it when they don't want to admit they are just doing a remake, but it seems to fit here.

Stratos · « **Reply #388 on:** September 26, 2010, 06:08:56 AM »

Idea: RetroActive poll including hard-to-get/rare titles. I know there are a number of them that people are always asking for and this could help satisfy those requests.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #389 on:** September 26, 2010, 06:15:10 AM »

The whole idea of the feature is to get as many people to play along as possible, so it makes sense to only choose games that are at least somewhat easily available.

Stratos · « **Reply #390 on:** September 26, 2010, 06:20:57 AM »

Which is why a poll of several hard-to-get titles makes sense instead of letting one on every poll. We could do one poll like this on occasion and let the community decide which they would be willing to acquire for the feature.

vudu · « **Reply #391 on:** September 26, 2010, 10:00:10 AM »

That's the opposite of logical. If anything, put one hard-to-acquire game in ever poll. If the community wants it bad enough they'll make it win even if it's not easy to get (see: Mother 3). If you have a poll of nothing but expensive, out-of-print games then we're forced to vote for one even if we have no reasonable means of playing any of the games.

TheYoungerPlumber · « **Reply #392 on:** September 26, 2010, 01:19:23 PM »

Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg.

Not sure this was ever nominated, and I think it would be a good off-beat title.

Mop it up · « **Reply #393 on:** September 28, 2010, 06:37:05 PM »

I don't think availability has anything to do with the ideals of RetroActive. The discussions are supposed to be about the games themselves, not how difficult they are to obtain.

Games that are difficult to obtain are difficult to discuss.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #395 on:** September 28, 2010, 07:53:31 PM »

I have to agree with vudu here, if a game is difficult to get then not many people will even be able to discuss it. To pick a game that is difficult to obtain goes against the ideals of RetroActive.

Gameboy Freak · « **Reply #396 on:** September 28, 2010, 09:56:48 PM »

I am pretty sure that these are common, so here is my picks.

Castlevania The Adventure (GB)
Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge (GB)
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow (GBA)
Sword of Mana (GBA)
X-Men Mutant Apocalypse (SNES)
Mortal Kombat Trilogy (Saturn,PSX,N64)

I'm the one who said that.

I need to check the last time we did a second-chance poll, but I think that may be coming up next. After that, I'm pretty sure we'll do DS. It'll be a nice way to say "goodbye" to that system before 3DS takes over the world. Eventually, I would like to do WiiWare.

Jonnyboy117 · « **Reply #399 on:** September 22, 2011, 02:19:12 AM »

Hey everyone, it has been over a year since this thread was last active, and we've done a few RetroActive features since that time. I can always dip back into the archive of suggestions, but this seems like a good time to solicit new ones since we're not quite sure what to do with the next RetroActive. It's too soon for another Second Chance, and the NES Ambassador games don't seem like fertile ground since we have previously tackled Zelda II. Please consider length and availability when thinking about games you want to recommend for the feature.
