STATUS: IN PROGRESS

I just want to post a handful of games that are fun to play. By fun I meant VERY fun. Now, beware. This list is LONG. I've divided it into genres for your choosing. All of these games are for the Nintendo systems only. If you have any recommendations, I'll consider it and if I say yes, put it in The Nintendo Hall of Fame. (Even though some Game Boy/Color/Advance games aren't available as of yet, I'm still adding it due to the possibility of Nintendo adding them to the eShop. Remakes are included along with the actual game)

If you're looking for Nintendo exclusive games, do you mean games that were originally Nintendo Exclusive, or have ALWAYS been? Because if you mean always you should remove Final Fantasy VI and replace it with FFIII (As in the actually FFIII) which is exclusive to Nes and DS. If you mean originally, then you forgot Megami Tensei I and II(NES), as well as Shin Megami Tensei I + II (SNES). Those are especially important because without them there would be no Pokemon

Anyway, some other games:
Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor (DS/3DS) and Devil Survivor 2 (DS) (SRPG/JRPG)
Fire Emblem titles (SRPG)
Radiant Historia (DS) (JRPG)
and...
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 1-3 (GBA, DS, WiiWare (And IPhone, but I won't count those)) as well as Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney (DS) and Miles Edgeworth: Investigations 1 and 2 (DS) all of them being (Visual Novels)

Don't forget Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey

+1 For Radiant Historia, and Phoenix Wright, and Shin Megami Tensei, and... +1 For everything.

And you should add the Mario Party games in the list, as well as Mario Kart.

[Brian6330]

I think you can soon add Rayman Origins and the new Kirby game (Wii and the different DS game) to that list :

It doesn't have to be Nintendo exclusive. As long as it is in a Ninty system. It also has to get good reviews from critics. I'll consider the games.

[Auzzie Wingman]

Cannot find Golden Sun.

RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!

Sorry, I found some phrasing in your first post misleading. In that case I recommend ALL of the above

EDIT:
A few things:
1. Good Reviews from critics means nothing. Bad reviews from critics means nothing. If they did, this thread would be pointless.
2. You completely ignored all the recommendations in my thread... I mean, come on! At the very least you HAVE to add Fire Emblem >.>
I've also got seconded and thirded for all the Megami Tensei games, as well as seconded for everything else :/
3. You have to separate SRPG, JRPG and WRPG. All are very different types of games, and cannot be lumped together.
4. Super Metroid is not an RPG. Zelda games other than Zelda II don't really count either. Even then, its hard to classify Zelda II into any of the RPG categories...
5. Don't forget Final Fantasy IV (Snes/DS) and Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (GC). You could also argue Final Fantasy I, for being a classic.
6. Outside of Final Fantasy, these are some more must have titles:
Baiten kaitos (JRPG/Card Game, GC)
Skies of Arcadia (JRPG, GC)
Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (Platformer, GC)
Pikmin 1 + 2 (Strategy, GC)

I completely agree. Western RPG's tend to be more open ended then JRPG's, and SRPG's are their own ballpark.

[StreetPassWanter]

I did say it's a work in progress. In fact, that game was next in the list of games I will put in.

1. Why exactly would it be pointless? But anyways, this isn't ENTIRELY based on critics. I will take recommendations. Plus, if 3 people recommends it, I'll add it automatically.
2. I still have a long list that I put up myself. First I'll put that list, then look at the ones in this thread. I promise I will add Megami Tensei games. Just.... wait. Wait... it wasn't thirded. I'll think about it, but 90% goes to say it will be in the list.
3. I'll consider it if the RPG section becomes too huge.
4. It's hard to classify Metroid and Zelda, since they're a mix. But a Nintendo resource told Ocarina of Time was an RPG. Want proof? Here. And again, they're a mix. If you really think so, I will go ahead and remove Super Metroid from RPG.
5/6. Again, considering.

EDIT: LOL. All of the RPGs so far are JRPGs.

Zelda is not an RPG in the sense of what RPG means. While you are role playing as link, you don't have various levels of characters for every characters(What I define as RPGS have levels in them). Your idea and reasons supporting why Zelda is an RPG have no backbone.

1. If you wanted a game to recommend, you could just look at review scores... Sadly, it doesn't work well that way.
2. Lord N and Waller were my Second and Third for the MegaTen series.
3. It doesn't work that way... These are all very different types of games, and cannot be categorized in the same section. One would b very disappointed expecting a WRPG out of Fire Emblem.
4. Zelda shows no traits of JRPG or SRPG, and the only thing it shares with WRPG is large open worlds... Which it still doesn't match, as it stays linear. No matter what Nintendo calls it, it's a pure action/adventure with puzzle elements. They probably added the RPG tag in order to sell copies to RPG starved people.

Comment on Edit: Fire Emblem isn't a JRPG >.>

[Waller]

Just one more question, SPW. Where is Proffesor Layton?!

[Bill Cipher]

I'll guess I'll add the first WRPG to help the differentiation process.
Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance

[StreetPassWanter]

OK, every pony one, calm down. I will delete all Zelda games out of the RPG section. I will also create RPG subdivisions, which will be added in the RPG section itself. Like this:

RPG

Western RPG

Blah!

Japanese RPG

I'm pretty sure that The Legend of Zelda is universally known as an Action RPG.

[StreetPassWanter]

EXACTLY!!! But since it has no MAJOR RPG elements, every one says no.
