Original: standard, 8 playable characters
Turbo: faster, adds 4 bosses as playable characters
Super: same speed as original, adds 4 characters
Super Turbo: Same number as Super but keeps Turbos speed, adds Akuma as secret boss/character

Also different ending images and character portraits, different sounds, different intros, changes in backgrounds, shotos reigning supreme in World Warrior, WW been slower than even the other normal speeds, Guile reigning supreme in Champion Edition, Super having a different announcer and more modes, Super Turbo having the super meter and been the version that uses your face as a mop...

Curse of Darkness

ok here it goes:

Super Mario World
Street Fighter II: The World Warrior
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Donkey Kong Country

well that's your call but Metroidvania is a huge genre, especially in indie games, and those two invented and codified it

That was invented in the 80s.

Kevin Butler calls you up and says "Your mom has one month to get to the end credits of one of these games for $1mil." Which game do you choose? (You can understand Japanese)

I picked SotN cause that's grandma tier of difficulty, but then I remembered you could choose Gon in Tekken 3, hold towards opponent, smash O, and defeat the entire game, and takes much less time as well.

I did not vote for SotN as a personal favorite. I've played maybe two hours max.

That ain't making it any better! Specially cause I ain't even sure if I'd put the more deserving Super Metroid in for this one.

lol Tomb Raider and Crash duking it out and SotN just sneaking in as a personal favorite.

Now SNES, wow, this is tough

I'll have to think about this cause it was Street Fighter II: The World Warrior the game that really put the console on top, the first big arcade experience at home, the game everybody wanted. But then there's SMW, DKC, LttP, Super Metroid, which were also pretty big on their own.

PS1 era Tomb Raiders were the gameplay sequels of classic Prince of Persia, another iconic franchise. It was the other side of the 3D platforming evolution opposite of Mario 64, with more realistic physics and AA leaning. I actually think it was its best moment cause exploration and careful strategies on how to actually get to hard to reach places was huge. Later on it became press A to get to point B.

k I'll do it.

Remove: Crash Bandicoot
Add: Tomb Raider

There wasn't too much that SotN added to the genre that Super Metroid hadn't already before. Even as a 2D game, fighting games were holding up that legacy higher.

there was discourse about this earlier but short version I feel multiplats are generally fine if they are still associated heavily with that system in particular. none of the Resident Evils were exclusive to the PS1 (either from the get go or for long) but nobody really thinks of the Saturn when they think of RE1! Even Symphony of the Night got a Saturn port. Obviously that goes for Tomb Raider too.

Sure, but Tomb Raider was released almost simultaneously on the PS1/PC/SAT (RE1 in the SAT was a year late, and so was SotN... in Japan), and not only that, but I consider the PC version to be easily the best. However the PS1 was the one that got more popular. It's just that it's a tight race between RE1/TR/CB so any small reason can work against their inclusion.

It feels wrong not to have Tomb Raider, Lara is easily associated with the console, but I have trouble including cause it was multiplat, even though the PS1 release was perhaps the most popular.

If this is an actual character it's purely coincidental.

I do think, and maybe this is a hot take, but the huge agreement on the four here kinda shows that the N64 first party lineup was not so hot relative to other Nintendo consoles. Its Nintendos weakest despite having some absolute classics. Just lacks the volume of their other systems.

Or that these games are really that strong. The 4P games here were must play multiplayer games of their time and none of these would look bad on a 5th gen Rushmore either.

GoldenEye 007
Super Mario 64
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Mario Kart 64

Looks pretty clear to me.

Is that you, Harvey Dent?

DMC creating character action games (and frankly God of War votes should be going to Devil May Cry instead) before making one of the best ever in DMC3

DMC is great but GoW is the one that really took off as a franchise, plus when you think of Sony consoles, Kratos is more associated with it rather than Dante.

Final Fantasy X
GTA3
God of War
Shadow of the Colossus

Not a fan of the GTA franchise but can't deny its power.

God of War was already big before part 4, which just adapted to the new trend.

No 2P simultaneous game on the NES Rushmore feels wrong.

Mania

SMB1 (The GOAT launch game)
SMB3 (iconic)
Legend of Zelda (iconic game representing AA and RPG...ish games)
Contra (This was THE 2P game of the time)

Batman

Though when I nominated it I first thought of 'Baseball', take your pick.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Mortal Kombat
Streets of Rage 2
Golden Axe

Queen

Can't believe I'm the only one with Sabbath's s/t. Sure, Paranoid has more of their hits, but s/t is George Washington himself here.

Well there's TMNT, TMNT 2... also TMNT3.

And oh yeah, don't forget about TMNT IV.

Black Sabbath - Black Sabbath (I mean this jump started the genre)
Metallica - Master of Puppets (Most Popular band and genre)
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast (It's Maiden, it's 80s, its cover is iconic, metal theatrics rep)
Venom - Welcome to Hell (started the whole extreme deal)

I'm not sure. I remember not knowing about it when Vader was pursuing Luke in his Tie Fighter in ANH, but I feel I already knew by the time I watched the ESB duel. For all I know I could've learned about it via the SNES game, how would that count?

This reminds me of one post I saw on social media in which you were given a list of killers and you had to choose who protected you from the rest.

Would James Bond himself count? He considers himself one.

The Game & Watch Gallery games. I have NES Remix Pack but I've never played it.

I'll accept blowing cartridges not making it in only cause people still believe it.
