I'm gifting my friend's child a handheld emulator and loading it up with games. It's capable of playing things pretty much up to Nintendo GameCube (It's even running Twilight Princess, though it studders in some areas).

I've got pretty much everything that exists for NES, SNES, N64, as well as a couple dozen games for Genesis. I never had a Sega Saturn or a PS / PS2 growing up though and I'm wondering what I should grab for those, as well as some more obscure GameCube titles if there are any I should know about.

Here's your chance to wax nostalgic about some old games and help ensure they make it into a kid's present. Even if I have the game already, I can still throw suggestions into the "favorites" list and make them easier to find.

  • fire emblem 4: genealogy of the holy war: story isn't exactly family friendly (though i wouldn't say anything in there is too bad for a 12 year old, i was reading worse shit in 6th grade), but it's all medieval fantasy and snes sprites so you can get away with showing more to kids. pain in the fucking ass to get through, so only if they're stubborn enough to stick with it
