Not really old, but older.

I've started playing MS, Zelda: WW and MP all the way through again. Always played Monkey Ball, SSBM, Tricky on and off, but these three beaties shall be played through unto completion again. Becuase I love them all, no matter what you no fun cynics say.

Moo.

Mario 3 is the finest Mario game ever.

Wind Waker is beautiful but just doesn't draw me in enough, and since tree-hopping to get to the evil tree dungeon, I just haven't played it.

Metroid Prime is excellent, but doesn't have enough to draw me back in to replay it.

Bah to you all.

Mario Sunshine rules in its own special way.

Wind Waker is just beautiful

Metroid Prime is inexplicably brilliant.

I never truely fell for MK64 - level design always left something to be desired.

Had a go at Mario Kart 64 last night. Feels very strange compared to the less responsive Double Dash.

I probably agree, although going back to Mario 64 straight after playing Sunshine is a horribly painful experience. First time I loaded it up I commented it looked like an Atari game. Although it probably still has the finest and most fluent control system of all time.
