I thought Portal 2 was a really disappointing sequel.

PS1, GC They were gifts from several family members
PS2, PS3, X360, Wii Saving my allowance and money from student job
PS4, XB1, WiiU, Switch Have full time job and can afford them without saving up
NES, SNES, N64, SMS, SMD, Saturn, Dreamcast Bought them used well after they were discontinued

I would go with Metal Slug. Though Contra: Hard Corps might be my favorite from both series, the Metal Slug series quality is just far more consistent than Contra's.

I've never bought an emulation device before but I will buy this and the dock. It seems like such a convenient way to play all these old handheld games.

@axel said in The EZA Community Top 25 Best of 2012!:
Next stop will be in January for the much anticipated 2019 GOTY, I feel it's gonna be an unpredictable one!

I can't believe the year is almost over already. I still have so many games to play XD

@sheria That's good to hear. I've been on the fence regarding Code Vein but I'll think I'll try it out now.

My list:

1)Hotline Miami
2)Pandora's Tower
3)Kid Icarus: Uprising
4)New Super Mario Bros U
HM)Far Cry 3
HM)Resident Evil: Revelations

I'm glad Hotline Miami made it in the top 10. It's probably still my favorite indie game ever. Gameplay is really fun and satisfying, difficulty level is perfect and the soundtrack and style are amazing.

It seems like Pandora's Tower is still one of the most underappreciated games of the last generation as it didn't make the top 25. Such a shame.

@dmcmaster But when are they gonna release Resident Evil 4 for the PS5?

Castlevania: Bloodlines and Ghouls 'n Ghosts on the Sega Mega Drive Mini.

This is probably my favorite of the "mini consoles". The emulation seems good, it has a large quantity of awesome games and I love that you can play the Japanese versions of all the games as some of the games are pretty different in Japan, like Contra: Hard Corps and Dynamite Headdy. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine even changes to proper Puyo Puyo.

Castlevania: Bloodlines was a lot easier than I remembered. I played the Japanese version maybe that one is easier, I dunno. It's still one of my favorite Castlevania games, the level design is great, it does a lot of cool stuff with its visuals and the soundtrack is superb.

Ghouls 'n Ghosts is also great. I think it's the only game in the main series that is enjoyable to play as it is not too difficult.

I am really liking it. It really tests your knowledge of those games.
