Chrono Trigger is a rubbish game that gives some people the sense of being open-ended and/or non-linear even though it totally isn't. And the characters are not remotely interesting.

While Chrono Cross' characters are also not generally interesting, the game is more interesting than Trigger.

Zelda I and II were the best Zeldas followed closely by aLttP and distantly by LA. 3D Zeldas generally suck, but WW wasn't awful, spoilered for non-retro.

Earthbound is pretty tedious and can be rather boring and the characters have little to no interaction once joining the main party. This can lead to a pallid overall experience, but it's nonetheless a charming as fuck game.

SCD Lunars are better than PS Lunars.

FF games and their amnesiac plot device got stale after three games in a row of that shit (4, 5, 6 or for stateside releases, 4/2, 3/6, 7). And they stopped being good by then, anyway.

There is no bad shmup.

All 16bit era Castlevanias suck, save Rondo/Dracula X. All 2D Castlevanias from the 32bit era onward were at least 'great' if not 'absolutely fan-fuckin-tastic.'

No Harvest Moon game has improved on Harvest Moon 2 for the GBC.

Super Metroid controls like shit. If it was remade in the zero/fusion engine, it would be perfect.
OoT and majoras mask have aged fucking terribly, and nobody will admit it. SMB64 has aged a lot too, but not nearly as badly.
Goldeneye n64 was and always will be a terrible game, it's just proof that any game, no matter how bad, is good with friends.
Sonic always has and always will be fucking terrible. How the series has managed to stick around for so long legitimately baffles me.

There's nothing wrong with a fighting game that doesn't use quarter circles and the like. It doesn't make your game casual, it lets people practice the more valuable stuff like how the characters work. Not every game needs to ape Street Fighter.

Every Mario game feels slippery and when reviews claim the controls are solid I just can't understand why. This goes to the early ones.

Random encounters are a design choice that should have died with the NES area. There was no point to doing those ever since the 16-bit consoles were capable of avoiding them.

Mega Man 6 is one of the better Mega Man classic games because the difficulty isn't totally retarded.

I used save states to beat Super Castlevania IV. (Love the game and the multi-directional whip, but the jumping is so stiff.)

I never play past Hey, Not Too Rough in Doom.

I think Chrono Trigger, while a fun game, is overrated. I liked Phantasy Star IV much better since it had a faster pace, better mood, macros, though I prefer ATB. It was the last Phantasy Star RPG and then they made MMOs that were essentially action Linkish games in space.

Nothing against the genre but it's more like WoW, Skyrim, etc., mechanics wise rather than an RPG.

People usually hate crossovers, but I love the idea. Put Sephiroth or even Kefka (or hell, maybe even Ultros) in Final Fantasy I and they'd be near impossible to kill, maybe even no near about it. Light Warriors have no chance against Ultima Weapon, Emerald Weapon, or Ultimecia though, but I don't care, a scaled down Emerald Weapon and Penance (at different times) would be awesome in FF1 (or any classic) but still just as hard.

If I had played the early megaman games as a kid, I would have beaten them, judging from the fact that Sonic 1 and 2 also had no saves, yet despite the fact that a game over meant starting the whole game from scratch I still played and eventually beat them.
