Dolphin Rec's

Want to fuck around with dolphin today. Never was a nintendrone, never had a nintendo home console. I liked the basic stuff like Pokemon and smash bros.

Is there anything worth trying that'll take the pain away today?

Here's my shit. Most of them are good, with the exception of maybe one or two.
Chibi robo and pikmin are probably good enough to lift that pain of yours

If you want to start strong, start with Pikmin

I've always been intrigued by the zelda games but never played one. Are they actually good from a non fanboy perspective or just giant nostalgic meme?

If TP and WW are good I'll totally try them out.

Same with Mario Galaxy and Meroid Prime?

Zelda games are genuinely good. Both WW and TP are very different games though, WW has lots of sailing and shit and focus on exploration while TP plays a lot more like the traditional zelda games with a bigger focus on dungeons.
Mario galaxy is surprisingly good but it can be a bitch to configure some of the controls if you don't have a wii mote since there's some levels that require you tilt the remote to move or something.
Metroid Prime is a masterpiece if you can stand playing a FPS with a controller

i need more.

>Metroid Prime is a masterpiece if you can stand playing a FPS with a controller
Just play the Wii version of Prime, and make the wiimote pointer controlled by the mouse
It's how I played Dead Space Extraction, and how I plan on playing the Prime games

Play Killer 7. You won't regret it

Twilight Princess and Windwaker are genuinely good games and still hold up IMO. While I loved playing Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask as a kid, I don't think they hold up very well today and I definately wouldn't recommend anyone who never played it to go back and try them.

1080 Avalanche. But you need a GOOD CPU.

this

is spyro a hero's tail as bad as it looks?

and how does super paper mario compare to ttyd? i havnt finished it, but paper mario on 64 seems like the best one, even disregarding nostalgia

start with wind waker, that shit is great. im having trouble getting into twilight princess

Colosseum and Gale of Darkness.

If you enjoyed Pokemon, one of these will scratch your itch. I'd say between these two you'd find more enjoyment than any handheld mainline Pokemon game whether it's for Colosseum's atmosphere or Gale of Darkness' gameplay improvements. It really depends on the person.

here's my list.
>gamecube animal crossing is better than wii
>gauntlet turned into a collectathon and looks like garbage
>mario party is kind of slow, and often none of my friends are interestde in playing it
>paper mario 64 was better
>pikmin 1 was better, fuck dungeons
>my enjoyment of sonic relied heavily on nostalgia
>star fox adventures aged like shit
>star fox assault has too many ground missions
>i didnt get far into galaxy, something seems shit about it, but i might try it one more time
>sunshine is alright
>monkey ball is really weird. i wanted to play for the mini-games, but the base game to unlock those isnt great
>smash is bretty gud
>WW better than TP
>warioware is good if you dont want any kind of time commitment involved in playing a game, like if you are drinking, want to leave to go to the bars in like 5-15 mins or something. not a great game to play for extended periods

Hero's tail is decent. Enter the dragonfly is the shitty one and I only have it because muh shitty nostalgia. Also, one of the main complaints about that game are hugeass loading times, which don't occur in the emulator

fuck, i guess ill try it out. i remember enter the dragonfly being shitty and thats where i gave up on the series. then i heard [i think the one after heros tail] had elijah wood and david spade as spyro and sparx, but i saw .5 minutes of gameplay and knew it was worthless

Get that Luigi's Mansion. Nintendo's response to Resident Evil 1.

Get a usb adapter and a gamecube controller
Play melee online at smashladder.com

Other great games games include: metroid prime, pikmin, zelda, super monkey ball, skies of arcadia, f-zero gx, fire emblem path of radiance (get the jap version with an english patch since the localized version removes hard mode)

And possibly: arc rise fantasia (with undub), donkey kong, resident evil, paper mario, xenoblade, baten kaitos

...

i play gamecube games with a ps4 controller, its pretty nice. mapping it out is pretty inutitive, too, even though it sounds weird at first

And timesplitters 2

Gotcha Force

Wind Waker is good
The only good version of Twilight Princess is the Wii U version, which I would say is really good.
Metroid Prime is my favorite game of all time
I prefer Mario 64 to Galaxy, but Galaxy is still a very well designed game

When is Rogue Leader going to run 100%? It seems to be running worse on latest builds.

Super Monkey Ball 1 & 2 are the greatest games ever made.

>Guitar Hero - Led Zeppelin
>Guitar Hero Queen

Some modded isos I found years ago on blackcats. Not sure if they're still floating around the internet nowadays.
