Me too, it's just nice seeing old games looking really nice n slick these days. I think I just went off on a tangent again.

Yep but the other thing is that so many of the new indy games jacked that old school style and actually created better titles thanks to how gameplay has evolved and that was the gist of me starting this thread.
Using VVVVVV as an example I very much doubt I'd find any C64 that was as fun to play because it took all that was great about the older gen and left all that wasn't and that is what happens a lot now as the medium has a history to look back on and pare down to create lean retro styled games that just work.
Some of the stuff I initially went through and checked when I got the Mini after looking at all the "I'm going to add...." threads made me think WTF as the gameplay was flimsy at best and yet people seemed to go ape. That said its going to be hard for anyone going to play Final Fight after experiencing Yakuza 0 but I could easily go from Mario Galaxy to SMW without missing a beat as it plays so well and everything in it is perfectly tuned.
AAA all the way!

As I was quite a few years late to Axelay, I was prepared to give the 3D effect itself a bit of a break, although it does look a bit like a CRT with bad geometry (or a toilet roll ), but the controls didn't feel right to me either, and I also remember feeling the hit detection was a bit off on those levels.
I'd agree it would've been excellent as a pure horizontal scroller, or even with vertical/horizontal 2D stages like Salamander.
As for the SNES in total, another one for loads still being easily playable. Probably the best aged console ever.

Two of my favourite titles that hold up really well..
Magical Pop'n, great fun with tight controls and cute clean graphics, nice music, lots of secret areas and solid boss fights. Metroidy in the way new abilities (spells) unlock new areas.
Demons Crest, great action platformer with solid controls and cool jumping/flying mechanic. Multiple paths through levels with some great graphics.

But to some people the 3D effect is an eyesore.

Loads of good suggestions including my personal favourite, The Firemen. I think a fair amount of Super Famicom titles still hold up really well. Actraiser is still one I enjoy, along with pretty much everything else everyone has mentioned. Super Smash TV is a really good conversion of a great game that holds up well too, still feels nice on a pad which is pretty miraculous given the controls of the arcade.Last edited by Escape-To-88; 26-04-2018, 22:33.3DS FC (updated 2015): 0447-8108-3129

I haven't played it for a while but I still love Super Mario Kart. I only liked that and the GBA version, I didn't like the later games in the series. But I haven't played the most recent ones. But with friends in the past I could always play smk or street fighter 2 on the SNES for hours. Sadly those days are long gone.
