About £50 avg for it

To be fair I've not spent much time with Twin Snakes, but I love the original to bits and don't really like any of TS' changes. It feels more like a fun little tribute to a classic than like the actual classic.

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sun 6 Sep 2015 - 22:55

Crazy Taxi gets a no from me. That's too much of a Dreamcast game, which is odd to say considering I voted yes to Sonic Adventure 2 though they did add stuff to SA2B for the GC port.

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Thu 10 Sep 2015 - 18:14

Before time is up on the Cube and move on to the DS

I want to put a few more up for consideration, I'm thinking there a No from most as they would of been put forward already

Baten Kaitos
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg
Doshin the Giant
Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles
The Simpsons: Hit & Run, I did play on Xbox myself but a excellent game
Skies of Arcadia Legends, More of a Dreamcast classic

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Thu 10 Sep 2015 - 18:34

I can only comment on Simpsons: Hit and Run which gets a no from me. It's a solid game, but it's nowhere near as good as people remember it to be.

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Thu 10 Sep 2015 - 18:39

Didn't NGC fart on it in their review?

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Thu 10 Sep 2015 - 19:00

An obvious ABSTAIN to everything... except Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, which gets a YES. Very fine game. Thumbs Up!

Supposedly they gave it an 80 - it's not a bad game at all, but it's not classic.

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Thu 10 Sep 2015 - 23:07

I've got to admit I did think of suggesting Simpsons H&R myself; I don't know if it's a classic though; you get to see a lot of Springfield, which we all would like, but it's still a little "pasted over" GTA.

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Fri 11 Sep 2015 - 1:59

I'm giving YESes to Simpsons and Billy Hatcher. Hit and Run was really good fun and is very fondly remembered by most of the people I know who play games. Giant Egg is SEGA's best platformer by some way.

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 10:33

I didn't know about that on the .gif and looking back on all the systems so far the Cube is the system I would have with that set of games if I can only have one of them.

On those games Balla Abstain on all of them

I've looked back at the DS Vote thread and Top DS games else where and this is such a system that I can't put something forward that shouts WOW! classic, there's good games on the system that I could vote best Fighter or what so but a classic not so much.

That I'm putting forward nothing for the DS.

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 10:46

All of the Yes to Balla's suggestions.

I'll add Star Fox Command
Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 10:56

To my shame i've not played any of those games so will have to abstain to all.

My nominations:

WarioWare Touched
Pokemon HG/SS
Mario Kart DS
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow
Animal Crossing Wild World
Tony Hawk's American Sk8land

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 11:04

Blimey, sounds like some people need to get their DS on! Especially anyone who hasn't played Ghost Trick - one of my top ten games ever. I also came late to the Phoenix Wright series (also available on iOS), and now I evangelise about them.

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 12:11

The DS to me never has that stand-out game, it started well with SM64DS which I got with my USA Import Launch system and I liked things like Project Rub but classics nah, the DS seemed to me more Nintendogs type stuff which might be considered a classic but in a different sort of way then what we would call core games.

On Ghost Trick I have played it and from the first missions it was good but when I had a massive clear-out like a month ago it was of the games to go.

On what's been out forward abstain on all of them part from
Star Fox Command No
Pokemon HG/SS Yes
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow Yes

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 12:48

I kinda agree with mas about the DS, but I'm rediscovering some of the games at the moment, particularly the early releases that are now 10 years old (!).

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Abstain
Phoenix Wright: Trials and Tribulations Abstain
Professor Layton and the Curious Village YES
Professor Layton and the Lost Future Abstain
Ghost Trick Abstain
Star Fox Command Abstain
Might and Magic: Clash of Heroes Abstain
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Abstain
Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth Abstain
Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story Abtain
WarioWare Touched YES
Pokemon HG/SS Abstain
Mario Kart DS YES
Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow Abstain
Animal Crossing Wild World Abstain
Tony Hawk's American Sk8land Abstain

I'm going to put forth games that I automatically associate with the DS:

New Super Mario Bros.
Nintendogs
Sonic Rush
Dr Kawashima's Brain Training

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 12:54

Ah, I was waiting for NSMB to come up. It was a solid platformer, but lacking in imagination, and it left a duffer of a legacy. I imagine that it'll get through because it has Mario on the front and wasn't as bad as the next two games (Zero will be to differ), but it's not a classic to me.

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 13:02

Ahhh, the DS - that's where I'm a Viking!*

Spoiler:

I'll just leave these here:

Phantom Hourglass
Dragon Quest IX
The World Ends With You
Advance Wars: Dark Conflict

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 13:57

Woo, the DS! A favourite of mine. Let's rock.

Spoiler:

I'd like to put forward Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Final Fantasy III, Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time and Hotel Dusk: Room 215.

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 14:43

Is something like The World Ends With You more of a Cult Classic, just curious.

I'm abstaining on most of them even Phantom Hourglass, part from Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin which is a Yes as I played a Castlevania on DS and liked it but not sure which one that I will Yes both.

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 15:12

Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin YES
Final Fantasy III YES
Final Fantasy Tactics A2 AB TO THE STAIN
Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time YES
Hotel Dusk: Room 215 NO (did not get into it at all)

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 15:14

Incoming list of votes

Spoiler:

I suggest:
Advance wars: Dual strike
Jam with the band
Elite beat agents/Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan
GTA: Chinatown wars

Subject: Re: Counting Classics on Consoles Sat 12 Sep 2015 - 20:48

Spattering of comments from me:

Jay, DS is a favourite console but you haven't played the PWs, PLs, or GT? Naughty

FFIII has come far enough from its origins to get classic status in my eyes. That said, there's something wrong with this system if it gets classic status and FFIV doesn't...
PiT seems to be the opposite of LoZPH (and LoZSS) to me: maligned at the time, grown in stature over the years.
I didn't like Curious Village either, Jas, but like you, I don't doubt its classic status.
Not sure whether TRP can make JwtB a classic all on its own... I'm going to say yes!
EBA and Ouendan were different enough in my eyes to be considered different games. I'd call Ouendan a classic but give EBA, a bastardised Americanised inferior version of the idea, a Thumbs Down...
