Which Old Nintendo Games and Series Do We Recommend?
Here are the old Nintendo games and series we recommend at The Old School Game Vault, and why.
▶ NES: Mario, Zelda, Punch-Out!!, and Shoot ’em Ups
Super Mario Bros. 3 and the first The Legend of Zelda get the recognition, and rightfully so. Super Mario Bros. 2 wasn’t too far behind.
Then I’m going with Gun.Smoke and Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! They’re two games that are fun to pick up and play.
If you’re into role-playing games, the Dragon Warrior series is worth a shot. There’s a lot of grinding in the first installment, but I’ve always thought Dragon Warrior III is the best in the series.
If you’re into light gun games, the NES had plenty to choose from. Just make sure you’ve got an old school CRT TV to use that light gun.
I’ll wrap up the NES with my favorite genre, the shmup, or shoot ’em up. Twin Cobra, Gyruss, and Gun-Nac are some of my favorites.
▶ Super Nintendo: Donkey Kong Country, Zelda, Fighters, and RPGs
The Super Nintendo saw the launch of the Donkey Kong Country trilogy, and Mario turned into an RPG with Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars.
Zelda finally got its winning formula back in The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Sorry, I wasn’t a fan of Zelda II on the NES.
Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat were two fighting series that dominated the early ’90s. Then Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy III, and Final Fantasy Mystic Quest gave role-playing game fans a solid lineup.
▶ Nintendo 64: GoldenEye, Mario Party, and ’90s Fighters
For me, one of the best games has to be GoldenEye 007. Sure, the Nintendo 64 saw the start of the Mario Party series, and those are still great multiplayer games to this day.
But I had a knack for fighters in the ’90s. ClayFighter, Killer Instinct Gold, and Mortal Kombat all come to mind. The Goemon series and Kirby were also fun.
And who could forget The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask? These two games are still being released on Nintendo’s latest and greatest consoles.
▶ GameCube: Resident Evil, Mario, Metroid, and F-Zero
The GameCube exploded with games. It seemed like once Nintendo moved past its family-friendly image, lots of great series came to the GameCube.
The Resident Evil series comes to mind. I always liked playing Resident Evil 2 with a wireless WaveBird controller.
There are many other great games on this console. The Legend of Zelda series has many entries, followed by the beloved Super Mario series. With Mario Party 4 through 7, Mario Golf, Mario Superstar Baseball, Super Mario Sunshine, and Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, if you’re into Mario, the GameCube is loaded with titles.
Other franchises kept growing too, like Metroid and one of my favorite retro racers, F-Zero GX. I still love playing it today.
Why are used Nintendo games so expensive?
Used Nintendo games can get expensive because of rarity, supply and demand, and condition. Age alone doesn’t make a game valuable, and at The Old School Game Vault we price every game by what it’s actually worth.
