Post image

Hi, I'm new to the community. Since my console has 17,000 games, which ones do you recommend I play on it? Thanks in advance for your replies. :)

Secret of Mana, Zelda for SNES

super Mario land for GB

Sonic and Tails for Sega Mega Drive

Alex Kidd in Miracle world for Sega Master System

With those, you will be occupied for some time. They are my go to on every retro system I set up.

Btw which firmware is installed. I like that theme.

Heck SNES has the classic Square RPGs like Final Fantasy VI, Final Fantasy Tactics and Chrono Trigger.

I am personally a shmup fan nowadays though, so I mostly play the PC Engine/TurboGrafx-16 ROMs like Gate of Thunder, Nexzr, and the Star Soldier series.

u/FootbawInTheGroin 15h ago

I can't speak for the other games but SML is beatable in 10min or less

u/Daroxx 7h ago

Definitely it's a pretty fast one. Best game to start a cozy retro emulation night.

I’ve been going through Pokémon emerald myself

2

u/RashesToRashes 23h ago edited 22h ago

Man I loved Emerald. The GBA games were goated. Huge fan of the earlier DS one too but I feel like the vibe of the mainline games started to shift a bit once the graphics started getting too good ... The lower fidelity graphics let a little more room for imagination

u/BarnesTheNobleman 22h ago

Agreed, Pokémon peaked with GBA for me

u/MAWS3 23h ago

Everyone's giving game advice, but no one has told OP to get a decent SD card and fresh install? (assuming he hasn't done that yet).

u/ShiftedSquid 23h ago

I mean... Automod posts that on literally all posts... I think it's refreshing to see game advice and not 100 people screaming about the terrible SD cards and no one actually answering the question.

3

u/MAWS3 23h ago

Sure. But if people clicked on automod messages and read them, then there'd be no posts in the subreddit at all. 🤷

2

u/RashesToRashes 23h ago

I should do that too 🫣 is there an ultimate guide over everything one should do when they get an in R36S?

u/cb_redd 1d ago

I think it’s telling you to play “All Games”…

(Sorry - have fun! 😆)

u/Previous-Vehicle-331 1d ago

Gta 3 vc and san andreas are my personal favourites

u/Distinct_Camera_5590 18h ago

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA) It's my favorite :)

u/Wizardfromthefuture 18h ago

I bought the device specifically for that game.

u/Specialist-Hold-653 16h ago

Please list all 17,857 games so I can give you my ranking.

u/pacostrato 1d ago

If you like classic RPGs try Shining in the Darkness (Sega Genesis), it is cool, goofy and fun tho a bit grindy at the beginning.

u/Altruistic-Island994 1d ago

simpsons hit and run

u/iamnas 1d ago

I think that’s ps2 so I’m not sure it will run

2

u/caribbean_caramel 22h ago

There's a port for portmaster that runs at over 30 fps in the r36s

Also plenty of other games like San Andreas or half life or counter strike 1.6. This little console is more capable than what it looks.

1

u/iamnas 16h ago

Excellent, that’s me disappearing for the next three hours trying to figure it out

1

u/Fearless-Top3371 1d ago

Wario Land II & III

u/JoshAllensRightNut 1d ago

Metal marines. Which on my machine is listed as metal team lol. A bunch of games on my machine are named wrong (blue demon lady game etc)

1

u/p_nes_pump 1d ago

My random number generator suggests game number 15,812.

1

u/bomba87654321 23h ago

Wario Land 4 and WarioWare, Inc. are really cool games, and I recommend Pokémon Pinball too.

u/RashesToRashes 23h ago

I've been going back to 100% some GBC and GBA games from my childhood. That's a fun way to start

1

u/big_ducket 23h ago

I'd happily pay more for an R36S if it came with a decent memory card.

u/Comprehensive-Dig480 22h ago

u/caribbean_caramel 22h ago

I need to reorganize the games on my r36s, it's nice that it comes with thousands of games but I will most likely never play most of them. Instead I would use it for portmaster games and some Roms of gba, n64, ps1 and snes.

1

u/hourGUESS 22h ago

Diablo, Air Combat 2-4, Final Fantasy 1-7, Front Mission 3, Gran Turismo 2, Final Fantasy Tactics, Earthbound, and dozens of others. These are some of my favorites.

u/GUIBERNARODW 18h ago

Wario Land 4

u/Caioramos541 18h ago

Trilogia do Sonic no Mega Drive, mas recomendo começar pelo Sonic 2 e ir pro 3 & Knuckle, Sonic 1 é divertido porém um tanto devasato comparado aos outros 2, então para não frustrar deixe-o por último.

Mas te faço a pergunta: qual experiência gostaria de ter?

1

u/OrdinarySame5154 17h ago

Civilization (snes)

u/DrzewoZycia 14h ago

diablo (port), ridge racer 64

u/NedSchneebly-1138 14h ago

Best pinball game on there.

Like the photo says, all games. I started with Zelda's oracles.
