Name your top 5 2D retro games. If you have one of those 9x9 lists on hand you can post them but the number 5 really forces you to narrow it down to the absolute best.
Try not to get swayed by public opinion, if you don't care about mario don't feel obligated to put it in just because it was revolutionary and deserves recognition. This is YOUR 2d favorites, the ones that mean the most to YOU.

and remember
2D game =/= sidescroller. link to the past and pokemon are 2d games

I'm amazed at how great Yoshi's Island is today. Back then upon release I dismissed it as just a Mario game cutesified to appeal to very young children but in hindsight it's a lot of fun with some great level design.

How so?? I genuinely like all these games. they're fun, they're appealing, and they're great. Was it because I didn't have any nintendo games? I'm sorry but aside from Super Mario World, Zelda 1, and the kirby games I'm not too into a lot of their games, that's not to say they're bad, just not for me.

The taste in this thread is mostly excellent. I'm actually pretty surprised.

Why is blood coming out of plants?

Plants? It's one of the game bosses of the game. The sequence is from the ending.

Yoshi's Story

My nigga, this game has lots of replayability due to the scoring mode. People tend to shit on it because of the short story mode, but the real meat of the game is doing melon-only runs.
