Howdy all!

I recently bought some 3rd party SNES controllers from daddy Bezos (Amazon) and I'm excited to hop into emulating older Nintendo stuff. Please give me some of yall's personal favorites, least favorites, fond memories or games you'd want me to play and maybe talk about!

Best,
Diet Pepsi

Thanks! Dreamcast is also one of my all-time favorite systems, it's still thinking...

The list of titles I suggested were games I've recently completed, or in the process of finishing. A few Japanese exclusives mentioned I used a English fan translation patch dl from right here, at The Repo.

Your picks were definitely eclectic! I'm in the process of downloading a bunch of games, but I thought Magical Pop'n and Dossun! Ganseki Battle looked especially interesting!
