Hello! everyone

One of my favorite romhacks is "Shotgun Mario 64"! It's funny to demolish Mario 64 characters ?

It's also fun using the shotgun to make crazy jumps.

i've been enjoying nes romhacks i found on cdromance, especially metroid rogue down and zelda ancient dungeons.
the castlevania ones are a good play too.

Brah, Rogue Dawn is awesome!

 

[Lee__Kanker]

A simple one I love: the one that fixes the brick collision in super mario all stars

Seriously why did they make it different? Was it a bug?

yup the art style is pretty goated too, metroid romhacks never disappoint

Dragoon X Omega 1 and 2 are, like, top-tier.

I really like romhacks that are just unquestionable improvements to the base game. What comes to mind immediately for me is Super Mario Land DX and Land 2 DX. They fully colorize the game, fix a bunch of bugs, and both games add Luigi as a playable character. It's kind of sad how most people, when going to revisit these games, will probably play the originals on NSO even though they're a worse experience.

Usually i like the ones the improve the standard game without breaking it.
DX gb? YES
Qol? YES
Design choises fixed? Oh, yes!

OMG, I forgot all about that! SML2 DX is beyond stellar.

AM2R is one of my favorite romhacks. It's a must play for every Metroid fan.

TBH I saw that on CDR and thought it was one of those bootleg games like Somari, but I'm going through their website and it looks really cool.

I agree! I played it on my hacked vita (RIP) and I was impressed by how polished it was. Definitely my favorite metroid game (though I've only played that, zero mission, and most of super metroid)

DX gb? YES
Qol? YES

I actually tend to stay away from the ones that change design choices, especially if I haven't played the game before. It just feels like too big a leap into being its own thing instead of being the original just better. The exception is when the original design choice is really bad, like RPGs with abysmal EXP rates.

Zelda Outlands, Zelda Missing Link, Metroid Rogue Dawn, Super Mario Bros. 3-Mix, Kirby's Halloween, Maniac Mansion Uncensored, that Beatles hack of Super Mario Bros. 2...

 

[PhrawzT]

Super Mario Land DX and Land 2 DX

Those are great, along with the Kirby's Dream Land 2 DX. I flashed all 3 of those to cartridges.

Dream Land 2 DX is also great. I had been playing on on an emulated Super Game Boy, and that just made the switch to real color later on that much more stark.

AM2R is one of my favorite romhacks. It's a must play for every Metroid fan.

AM2R, while amazing, isn't a romhack. Its a brand new game, built from scratch.

 

[Inkingsama]

The super metroid romhacks are something else. Subversion is pretty good, Escape II too although i could never get past the boss rush at the end.

Super Mario 64: Beyond the cursed mirror is so high quality that i couldn't stop playing. It has a few things that clash very hard against the overall design of the hack but it's ok, nothing that really drags down the game.

Rockman Gaiden is a very interesting megaman 1 romhack. The hack has some strange things that i don't know if they are bugs or design choices but overall, it's an enjoyable experience. Until you reach wily stage 2 or 3 (don't remember which one) because i'm 100% sure that level wasn't tested and it's impossible to beat without cheats. Megaman Reloaded is very good too.

 

[A Slime Draws Near]

I'm a big fan of Final Fantasy VI T - Edition + EX. Massive overhaul of nearly every aspect of an already great game, plus whole new systems added and the EX challenge bosses very difficult frosting on an amazing cake of a ROM hack.

 

[Thefriman]

I think my favorite are the ones that fix bugs and oversights in the original release. There's one for Castlevania Dawn Of Sorrow that fixes the glitched luck stat to make it work as intended. It makes soul grinding a lot more manageable. I also like the "single player" Pokemon hacks that make it possible to complete the pokedex without needing to trade for version exclusives as well as giving alternate means of obtaining trade evolutions. They are especially handy as it's increasingly difficult to find friends who still play the older generations of Pokemon to trade with.

 

[Sayo Sayo]

I was absolutely hooked by Mario's Zap & Dash, I don't know if I would consider it my favorite but it's definitely up there for me at the moment. I haven't even played the source material nor am I even good at this hack, but good lord is it gorgeous.

 

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

Pokemon Uranium and Pokemon Gaia.

 

[DJPlace]

the gameboy games that get turned into gameboy color are sick. it's some nintendo should of done but they nintendid not.

 

[dejiko]

i really like the moemon hacks for pokemon, such cute sprite work!
