List your favorite and most nostalgic video games?

Other than Animal Crossing, Pikmin 2 instantly comes to mind. I'll always remember my first playthrough of that game. I still enjoy playing it to this day (although sadly I can't right now because my disk broke).
 
super mario bros
persona 5
animal crossing new leaf
lola and vergina
carasel
peppa pig
fire fighters
pokemon platnium and heart gold
 
Animal Crossing: Population Growing.

Other than that, it would be Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. In my opinion, the greatest Zelda game, if not the greatest game on the Gamecube. That cell-shaded cartoon style of graphics is beautiful, and my favorite style of any Zelda game, with Twilight Princess coming at a distant second.
 
Final fight, the arcade version. It was the first game I eved finished so it has a special place. Other than that the original Crash Bandicoot games, especially Crash Team Racing. I am very excited to see that masterpiece finally remastered.
 
Oooh.... The Sims 2, Super Mario Galaxy, the early titles in the MySims franchise, and even AC: Wild World!
 
To name a few:

- Harvest Moon A Wonderful Life
- Kirby Air Ride
- Any of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games that came out for the GameBoy Advance/DS
- Sonic Adventure DX
- Sonic Adventure 2 Battle
- Sonic Advance 1, 2 and 3
- Any of the Crash Bandicoot games that came out for the Playstation One and Game Cube
- Also the first Crash Bandicoot game that came out for the GameBoy Advance
- Pokemon Pearl and Diamond
- Animal Crossing Wild World / Let's go to the City
- Pokemon Colosseum / XD Gale of Darkness
- Super Smash Bros. Melee / Brawl
- Spyro A Hero's Tail
...
 
Well, there are many games which are nostalgic to me. Some of them are:

  • Luigi's Mansion
  • Super Mario Sunshine
  • Crash Bandicoot Wrath of Cortex
  • Mario Party 4, 5, 6 and 7
  • Nintendogs
  • Cooking Mama (the very first one for the DS)
  • Kirby Air Ride
  • Wii Sports
  • Mario Kart Double Dash
  • Animal Crossing Wild World
  • WarioWare Touched!
 
Games that I feel nostalgic for are definitely Mario Party DS, I'm pretty sure that was one of my favorite games almost ten years ago. There was just, at least for a DA game, a lot to "explore" and many different ways to play. I also have a few good memories playing multiplayer with New Super Mario Bros. The DS lite was my only console back then and I couldn't tell the difference between what a good game was and just shovelware. I didn't know about most of the classic DS games until years later. Several games I didn't own but still played at someone else's house was Wii Sports, Wii Sports Resort, and Mario Kart Wii. I liked the course "Coconut Mall" in particular in MKWii, something about driving around a mall was quite magical to me.

The original Spyro trilogy, hands down. I've played it and beat it over and over again ever since I was five, and to this day, i still love it and have fun. Reignited isn't bad at all, I love the graphics, but it will never hold a candle to my childhood favorites.

Pok?mon Pearl and White meant a lot to me as well, because 10-year-old me worked my butt off saving up money to get them both. I was three cents short for White, but the clerk let me buy it anyway--i could've cried, I was so happy. Pearl being my first, it paved the way to an outright love of all Pok?mon. Icy the Empoleon will be hitting 10 years old soon, and I will cherish her forever.

Magical Starsign, despite being the sequel to Magical Vacation (which was only released for the GBA in Japan), was my first ever RPG. It was difficult for me at first, but I started to get the hang of it. I lost it for three years or so, only to unexpectedly find it again and finally beat it. The art is unique, the characters are well- formed, and the story was awesome (but be prepared to get hungry, as many people and places were named after food, which I didn't realize until I was older.) It was very fulfilling, and I will gladly play it again, especially now that my brother has a copy, and we can play PVP.

On Xenoblade, my first playthrough was over 200 hours. I wanted to beat and complete everything, including beating the overpowered lv120 superboss (which involved a lot of stress, preparation, and panic on my end, but darned if I didn't do it). I still have five achievements left I'm still trying to complete.

The Kingdom Hearts series as a whole will always be a big part of my gaming life. I've loved each installment, and have tried playing them all to the fullest. Alas, my brother will forever have me beat XD

Bayonetta, I absolutely love, and am still attempting to get pure platinum ranks on every level.

It would be wrong to leave out AC Wild World and New Leaf, because they did wonders for my mental health during a bad time. I can have fun and be calm at the same time, and even share that fun and peace with others

Cool Spot on the Genesis, because it was silly and challenging all at once.

And last but not least, Mario Kart, because my whole family will play it together, and the commentary involved is hilariously legendary.
 
- Animal Crossing New Leaf (back when it came out in 2013)

Super Mario Bros for NES is my first game ever and I have the most memories towards. But I also remember playing plenty of other games that, for me was such a huge part of my childhood like Bangai-o, Sonic Adventure 2, Jurassic Park, Grandia 2 ( My favorite game of all time, still to this day), and some other ones. Essentially anything that was on PlayStation 1, or Sega dreamcast lol.
 
Probably

• Skylanders: Spyros Adventure
• The Simpsons: Hit and Run
• Pokemon Diamond and Pearl
• Wii Sports. I remember I once hit my brothers arm with the remote whilst boxing him.
