Super Mario Bros is a classic that never seems to get old for me.
This is why I voted SMB, despite my love of the Zelda's and Metroid. Super Mario Bros was the first game I ever played, and even playing on an emulator takes me back to being a 5 year old in awe of his friends ability to actually control something that was happening on a television. I shall never tire of it- the simple understandable physics, the instantly recognisable catchy music and the increasing difficulty level have never- in my opinion- been so well combined in one package

QUOTE(Another World @ Aug 31 2011, 07:38 AM) zelda II is a great game and winning it is really satisfying. i haven't played it a long time. the last time i remember playing it was using the actual hardware when i was about 15. i'm looking forwarding to playing it on the 3ds. it will give me a reason to use my 3ds.

-another world
Another of my first games- definitely the first Zelda game I played. As a 5-6 year old trying to get my head around where to go next took up a lot of my time, even now I struggle to get through without help! Though it gets a lot of stick from the Zelda fanbase it stands up as a great title if you throw all of your preconceptions about subsequent Zelda's out of the metaphorical window. A bloody difficult game, albeit one I will always return to.

NES Metroid is seriously flawed in places yet is still one of the best titles- of all of them Yoshi is the poorest of the lot, the 'cash in on the success of columns and tetris' concept could have worked if it weren't so.... broken

Metroid. I haven't played the original (Played Zero mission though)
I'll be looking forward to Zelda and Zelda II also.

Not overly excited about the other games though. :/

I was hoping for zelda 2... My god I wish they'd make a proper sequel to this game. Every time someone says Zelda games are RPGs or action RPGs I correct them that Zelda 2 is the ONLY action RPG in the series.

Metroid, mostly because i've never played a metroid game before. I would of said mario bros but i've played that game over and over too many times already, so not really "hyped up", but still gonna love it xD

Of course Metroid for me, what else?

@iMasaru: I wouldn't recommend Metroid as your first Metroid game. You'd rather should play Metroid Zero Mission.

None really... NES games don't interest me much. My first console was a SNES and anything older than that I just find the graphics and sound too crappy. Mostly the sound. And not having played it as a kid doesn't help either since the only reason I play SNES games nowadays is for nostalgia.
Sound is the most important thing for me in a game, if it's great chances I'll like that game are high if it's a genre I like. If it's bad I probably won't be interested in the game no matter the genre. NES games can have a good soundtrack but can't really sound good because of the limitations of the hardware. SNES games sound great though.

I'm looking forward to the GBA ambassador games a lot though

Strange, the music & sounds in NES games is much of what keeps me coming back. I think these guys feel the same ....
