I already have Legend of Zelda: OoT and Paper Mario. I'm considering getting Sin and Punishment and Super Mario RPG (I've never played either of them, and thought it'd be a good experience). I'm also considering Star Fox 64. Thoughts?

Lost Winds and/or Sin and Punishment.

Also, nearly all of the C64 games are great if you have a little left over.

Super Mario RPG, out of the choices you have up. Everyone should play that game.

Super mario rpg. One of the best SNES games ever, and if you like rpg games, definatly worth picking up. That would be my first choice. Otherwise, any of the ones Jaguar suggested.

I wish I wasn't a Nintendo fan, 'cause then I could say "A better concole and a more worthy use for 20 quid." But, as it happens, the Wii is the best thing out there so I can't say that.

Get Sonic the Hedgehog

Super Mario RPG, for the love of god. Possibly my favorite game of all time.

Alright, alright. Super Mario RPG is a must. Has anyone actually played Sin and Punishment? Is it actually worth some of the praise I've heard about it, or is it just over-hyped because it was Japan only for so long?

If you want a good game that will keep you occupied for bloody hours until you realize its Simcity simplified and done in the Final Fantasy universe "My Life as a King" is a wonderful time killer. Coming in at $15 minus all of the DLC witch adds replay to the game I am sitting with about 22 hours on my first city and I still have 3 regions to send my peasants to.

Star Fox 64 was awesome, but it really hasn't aged well. I'd go for Super Mario RPG.

Star Fox 64 gets my vote.

I'll have to go with star fox 64 as well. I loved that game, beat it 7 times IIRC when I originally had it. Too bad I sold my 64 to get my xbox...I miss a lot of those old games.

Have a look for LostWinds - possibly the flagship Wiiware title, produced by Frontier Developments, a bit short, apparently, but Frontier Developments are a very innovative company in the true sense of the word.

Wow, I was kinda in the same boat as the OP. Now I feel old and outdated I never heard of Super Mario RPG. I've been sitting on 2000 points for months now, not knowing what to get very close to getting an older Zelda, but never crossed that bridge yet.

If they have Chrono Trigger, get it. I also highly recommend Super Mario RPG. It's just fantastic.

Sin and Punishment or Starfox 64 or both if you like those type of games
or failing that Super Mario RPG and Lostwinds

Take this with salt since I'm such a kirby fanboy but GET EVERYTHING WITH KIRBY ON IT!

Alright, Super Mario RPG just got added too, and if you like the whole "turn based random encounters" kind of thing, then you'll like it. I don't recommended only because I played it like, 4 times over on my SNES, but, if I didn't , I'd get it for the Wii.

You should get something called an emulator.

Super Metroid and A Link To The Past, as well as anything Kirby that you can get your hands on. You won't regret it.

Actually, Super Mario RPG didn't have random encounters, in the true sense of the word. You ran into enemies on the map. Sorta like Chrono Trigger.

And yes, I'd also suggest getting Super Mario RPG. And I also played it multiple times on the SNES.

Mario Kart 64 - best in the series. Bring on the flame but I still get a kick out of its with my mates.

Streets of Rage 2 if its there. Best scrolling beat 'em up ever.

And then a VGA adaptor so you can play the game on your TV the way it's meant to be played, and a controller so it feels right too.

Wait, no. It's cheaper to just buy it on VC.

Only because you're extremly discriminating about how you play the game. I assume most people have slightly lower standards with games that feature less than 100 colors.

The Streets of Rage series is indeed on the VC. I also highly recommend 2.

Starfox64 was already brought up repeatedly.

ActRaiser is a classic

Though everyone already owns it on the snes, Super Mario World is a must to own as well. It gives hours of fun.

Then there are the games on WiiWare, like LostWinds (brought up already) and that new Wild West shooter that is short, but addictive.
