Besides the mainstream classics that you love and enjoy, such as Banjo-Kazooie and Ocarina of Time, I'm wondering if you guys enjoy the more obscure and not so popular games just as much.
Here are a few I like/want to play.
Tomato Adventure
This Japan exclusive game was developed by Alpha Dream (I'm sure I don't have to tell you what they are best known for). It may look simple and childish, but the gameplay is pretty deep and everything looks cute and gorgeous! I like the character designs and the Action Command-like gameplay. Definitely Alpha Dream's most creative game and something I would love to get my hands on in the states (also, a sequel would be nice).
Freshly Picked Tingle: Rosie Rupee Land
Don't be so quick to judge this game because Tingle is the main protagonist. The first official spin-off of the Zelda games holds up pretty well. Sure, some of the characters are ugly and the guessing game mechanic can drive some people off, but if you look past that, this game is a lot of fun! It's full of humor, has a deep plot with nice side plots, the battle and bodyguard system are brilliant, and you'll never run out of uses for Rupees (unlike in other Zelda games)! I'd play it myself, but I didn't have much luck obtaining it (even though I do live in Europe).
Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts
While a black sheep, the latest title in the Banjo-kAzooie games has a lot to offer. While the famous duo is not much to look at, the rest of the character designs are actually appealing and the scenery is beautiful. The charming humor and dialog is still there and it is chalk full of references. Even though the platforming is scarce, creating and piloting your own vehicles is the next best thing as you take on challenge after challenge. Say what you will about it, but I had a blast with this game throughout almost all of it!
