Games released on March 9
Five games that still hold up, from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars in 1996 to The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC in 2006
-
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars 1996
Mario sets out on his first role playing adventure, in isometric 3D, where enemies wait in plain view and a well timed press on an attack, a block or an item makes it count for more.
-
Wario Land II 1998
Turned 28 this year Game Boy
Wario sets out to get back the treasure Captain Syrup stole from his castle, in a platformer where he cannot die and enemies instead make him lose coins or change into strange forms.
-
Dragon Warrior Monsters 2: Cobi's Journey 2001
Turned 25 this year Game Boy Color
Cobi gathers a team of monsters won over with food and treats, three in the fight and the rest at the family ranch, from more than three hundred that can be bred into new ones. A second version, Tara's Adventure, plays almost the same.
-
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes 2004

A GameCube remake of Metal Gear Solid with new cutscenes directed by Ryuhei Kitamura and the voice acting recorded again.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC 2006
Nihon Falcom's Trails in the Sky goes on in a turn based role playing game so long that its English translation took until 2015, and its new chain craft lets up to four party members strike an enemy at once.
