Counting Classics on Consoles

Irrelevant yesses to Tetris and the Pokemons, Definitely a yes to the 2 Oracle games and... yeah, DK94. I'll abstain from the Gameboy Kirbys as I don't know them that well, and also Wario Land 2. But I didn't actually like the Super Mario Lands and (*ducks*) Link's Awakening.

Don't have any to add I'm afraid.

Have you (guess you call it that) voted for nothing, Jas

I haven't voted yet or I would have had a list, I'll take a look at them in the next day or so.

SML - nope nope nope. It's my first proper game ever, and I'll always have a soft place in my heart for it; but it was a complete departure from form, everything but Daisy was quickly swept under the rug, and it was outdated in its own console's lifetime by its successor. If SML2 isn't a classic - heck, if SMB2 isn't a classic - then this isn't.

Pokémon Pinball gets a yes. Never played it, but I've played the RSE-era sequel, which was great; and apparently the original was even better. People still rave about it to this day. That's classic material!

@Balla I shouldn't need to convince you, if you think I do then to me you should go No not a classic.

Let me put that another way. I'm curious as to why you think this is a classic. You're under no obligation to elaborate, but I'd be interested in you sharing your thoughts.

Already mentioned:

For my money, I'll chuck Mario's Picross, Harvest Moon and Pokémon Trading Card Game your way.

Ah, the Drunkalilly 10/10 approach. Mario's Picross, as the first Nintendo Picross game (leading to Picross DS eventually), gets a yes from me. Harvest Moon GB was neither the series starter nor (apparently) that great, so it's a no; and I was a big fan of TCG, but it didn't seem to spark anything in the future, nor is it talked about in hallowed tones nowadays. Abstain.

What can I say? I really enjoy videogames!

And fair play to you for that!

I'll yes your Picross, Drunka.

DO NOT TAKE THAT OUT OF CONTEXT

I'll abstain from the other two though.

I'll follow Jimbob's lead exactly! One of the better Picross games out there!

Time for another pass, adding Zero!

Wario Land 2 - YES
Kirby's Dream Land 2 - YES
Super Mario Land 2 - NO
Oracle Of Ages - YES
Oracle Of Seasons - YES
Super Mario Land - YES
Pokémon Pinball - ABSTAIN
Mario's Picross - YES
Harvest Moon - ABSTAIN
Pokémon Trading Card Game - ABSTAIN

ABSTAIN - yikes! - if I haven't played it.

Mario's Picross, ABSTAIN
Harvest Moon GB, ABSTAIN
Pokémon Trading Card Game, No

Is it me but even having a look for Top GameBoy game list's there isn't many stand out classics on the system that isn't Pokemon or Tetris.

At the moment we're set to have six that don't fall into those categories. That said, many of the great franchises were stared on the NES and expanded on later home consoles. I think we'll have even more trouble in GBA week.

I think GBA will have a few when we get to it, which I guess is after SNES & N64.

I would put a bet on the N64 having the most classics .

The SNES might surprise you, mas.

I know it's got some absolute classics but the N64 has classics after classics and as we know is GNamers fav console, with one of the main reasons because of those classic games.

Unless Andy starts voting, in which case every single N64 game will get one downvote.

Yeah but even with Andy's down vote, I think the sheer number of Yes's will make up for it.

Who the hell is voting no for Mario Land 2. That's a straight up classic.

Paper Mario wouldn't get a down vote

This.

You were torn, Jay, get off yer high horse. You can have a dumpy pony, no more.

I was torn, but I made the right choice in the end.

And I did say how much I love it!
