I really liked Link’s Awakening. I haven’t played the remake though.
I played all the way back to the original Gameboy, but when I think of portable systems of the past I reflect on Patapon for PSP. I put a lot of time in that rhythm game. Wish they’d make another in modern systems.
Link’s Awakening DX, the color version on Game Boy Color, was my absolute favorite along with Pokemon Red. I also remember spending a lot of time with Kirby’s Dream Land 2.
Later, I spent countless hours with N+ on PSP. And then even later I discovered the early Star Ocean games, and now my favorite PSP game is definitely Star Ocean 2: Second Evolution.
I loved that game on PS2 though it was so intense in the endless dungeon it would crash a lot. The party crafting is so cool in it! and a wonderful story.
Yeah, it’s prolly my favorite JRPG ever, I love how big and grand the story is. In fact, the non-furry profile pic I use these days across the internet is of Celine Jules
Golden Sun and its sequel (actually second half) for the GBA.
Pokémon Emerald and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: blue rescue team were sooooo good :)
Also Kirby: nightmare in dreamland
Mario Kart DS was my most favorite that I played a lot of. It being a portable 3D Mario Kart that I can wirelessly play with other people even if they don’t have the copy of the game themselves and being able to race against other people online was pretty mindblowing to me at the time.
Beside Mario Kart DS, other games that came to mind that I played and remember liking were Wario Land, Yoshi’s Island (GBA), Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, and New Super Mario Bros.
Pokémon Crystal was my jam. Had an absolute blast with it.
I spent an absolutely unreasonable amount of time playing Pokemon Blue on the original Gameboy, and the Pokemon TCG game for Gameboy Color. Those were pretty much all I used the things for for years.
oracle of ages and oracle of seasons are the best zelda games imo. the ending of both gives you a code for the other to unlock a secret final boss.
Mario & Luigi superstar saga was fun. it has trans bowser and luigi in drag.
