TOP10 Retro Nintendo Games Recommend

For a long time, as one of the most influential companies in the game world, Nintendo’s every move has attracted the attention of the gaming. For example, Nintendo announced that it had officially entered the hand tour in the previous period. From the day of stepping into the game field, for decades, Nintendo has experienced success and failed. However, What remains most memory is the enduring game itself. Here I will recommend 10 Retro Nintendo games for you

Super Mario

Anyone who mentioned Nintendo can’t avoid this name. Since the first version of the “super Mario brothers” was born on FC in 1985, Nintendo and Mario became an inseparable one, and Mario is always the most important retro Nintendo game on every generation of game consoles, and we couldn’t imagine what the Nintendo would be like without Mario. It is reported that Mario has achieved more than 100 pieces of related works and has accumulated more than five hundred million sets of sales. It is the world’s first game of Guinness world record certification.

Donkey Kong

In terms of seniority, Donkey Kong was still before Mario, and it should have been the number one star of retro Nintendo game. If Mario has achieved Nintendo’s hegemony, then Donkey Kong has saved Nintendo’s crisis. It was because that the new arcade game of Shigeru Miyamoto opened the American market in 1981, so Nintendo had enough faith to step up and develop in this field. Like many great works, the birth of Donkey Kong seemed to be full of chance. Nintendo originally wanted to make the game with the image of the mariner, but after the copyright was not settled, he had the original role. However, when the game came out, it was prosecuted by Universal Studios, and eventually Nintendo won the lawsuit. In a sense, this is as significant as the copyright they got from Tetris after a few years, which changed the history of the game industry.

The Legend of Zelda

Compared with Mario’s popularity, Zelda has gained more professional praise. Most works have become one of the highest standards of retro Nintendo games at that time. N64’s “Ocarina of Time” became the first full score works in the history of Fami, and “The Wind Waker” continues its high evaluation, however, the origin of all is in 1986, Nintendo launched the first game on the newly launched FC disk drive, which is the first generation of Zelda. From then on, let Nintendo have another brand with equal emphasis on art and commerce. One of the original features of the Zelda series is the addition of decryption elements on the basis of traditional action games. With the continuous evolution of the game function, “Ocarina of Time” was born not long in the 3D game, a large number design of game organ encryption and decryption was first introduced without any reference, which affected many later works.

Metroid
Gunpei Yokoi, another former Nintendo game ace producer, whose Metroid refer to Mario and Zelda at the beginning, but eventually absorbed the two elements and developed a category of “Metroidvania” exclusive game terms. On the basis of the traditional horizontal version action game, it adds the 2D sand table map, equipment, props and capability upgrade, and other RPG elements, which can be freely explored. After that, probably only a few games such as “Castlevania” can be compared with it. In 1986, the first birth of the Metroid, the female characters, especially those who play the leading role in the game are still rare. So we can imagine the moment that Samus Aran took off the cover could surprised the players who first met her.

Fire Emblem

This series of life has lasted for 25 years since 1990. Known as the first ancestor work of SRPG, and SRPG’s “Pyramid top work”, it is still a few old SRPG game works that exist in the Japanese industry and continue to be active. The new system is even more controversial in the same sex marriage, which shows its influence. Compared with Nintendo’s other brands, Fire Emblem is not outstanding in sales. But the value of this series of games can not be measured by simple numbers. Unique design and game culture, unique in many game types. The relative sparsely populated audience can not conceal its important weight in the game world, and becomes the most representative brand in such games with its high difficulty.

Pokémon

Pokemon surely became Nintendo’s undisputed first game if there is no Mario. After all, with one’s own power to change the fate of a game machine, which could not to be even by Mario. So it is not exaggerated to say that Pokemon is a miracle in the history of the game. Seven years after its birth, the GB handheld game, which was already outdated, relied on this game to return to its peak. And finally become the second Nintendo’s brand with a total sales volume of over 100 million. Compared with the brand which grew along with Nintendo, Pokemon is an outsider from the beginning. such as Mario, Zelda. In 1996, the original game development company is GAME FREAK, not like the other game brand made by Nintendo. As one of the most important subsidiaries of Nintendo, the name of the Pokemon must still play an very important role if Nintendo is really linked to a hand tour in the future.

Super Smash Bros

NGC era, it is the first time that the sale crown of Mario’s series was taken away by the new brand Super Smash Bros. Compared with many old Nintendo games, Super Smash Bros, which was born on N64 in 1999, is a worthy descendant. Nowadays, a lot of the predecessors have gradually fade out, but only in the “Super Smash Bros” we can see their figure, and even some other manufacturers’ faces. It has to be very impressive. The Kirby and the Super Smash Bros is no other than the important Nintendo games that Satoru Iwata had involved in and from HAL. It can be said that this series is his witness as a game developer. In the future, Super Smash Bros may still have the appearance of Satoru Iwata Mii, and it is also the last gift he left us.

Animal Crossing

the first sale of Animal Crossing was on N64 in 2001, although its sales are impressive, it was not even one of Nintendo’s top signboards at that time. However, after the launch of NDS in 2005, the sales volume of the 12 million set is enough to make it to be a money tree in the new generation, and it has developed into a multifaceted comprehensive plan. The Animal Crossing series seems still to be the same Nintendo system that attracts all ages. Vivid cartoon image, easy and quick game process. Nintendo regards Animal Crossing as “communication game”. The charm is that it is an open retro Nintendo game without a fixed plot. Players can live alone in the game, not restricted by the common task of the game. Both children and adults can enjoy the fun of “dialogue” with the interesting animal characters

Nintendogs, Brain Age

Nintendogs took the first full mark handheld game of Fami, which has made countless people indignant. The big sale of “Brain Age” has made the players shout “the game is dead”. And behind their success is the NDS’s popularity at that time. Probably even Satoru Iwata herself could not have foreseen that her position on NDS was so successful. The platform is popular enough, and software is enough for the people. Whether it is virtual pets or quiz, they can be popular all over the world. No matter how people evaluate this history later, at least, at the end of 2004, in the most difficult time of Nintendo, the new Nintendo, under the leadership of Satoru Iwata, aims at “the expansion of the game population”, using NDS to expand the main game type from the core to the interest of the non core population. The good feedback from the market has helped Nintendo out of the embarrassment of NGC failure. The optimization and expansion of the game ecology is the achievement that NDS can not erase.

Wii Sports

When it comes to game sales, “Wii Sports” is an embarrassing name that can not be avoided. No matter how to emphasize the advantages of the mainframe bundles, or the significance of the first generation of Mario and the excellent GTA5, the nearly 100 million numbers make the name “Wii Sports” doomed have no predecessors, and I am afraid there is no later, and also a unique miracle in the history of the game. The success of Wii Sports in 2006 also represents the popularity of Wii in those days. Satoru Iwata implemented its own game concept in NDS. The host is Wii’s sense, keeping ahead of the time and not too far, which attract most people’s eyes and keep them. Xbox360 and PS3 have been beaten by an unprepared.
