The worst part about making a list of your top games is that, inevitably, you'll forget something that you regret. You'll come back a day later, realize your mistake, and beat yourself up. In my case, I got down to the top 10 or so, realizing I had missed some games, but it was simply too late to add them back in. Not only that, but over time, things change. You replay titles, reminisce about your younger years, and things rearrange. All of these thigns happened while making my list, and in the many weeks since it has been completed. No list is perfect, and mine definitely isn't. Recently, I've been playing through all of my old games, and I've really wished I could redo my list. Here is a list of some of my favorite games I wish that I could go back and work in. Some were forgotten, and some were ruled out. Whatever the case, they're just further proof that there can never be a final "best games ever" list. Even with this addition, there are still games like Oracle of Ages, Sin & Punishment, Gunstar Heroes, Demon's Crest, Ikaruga.... well, you get the picture... that didn't make the list.

5. Bubble Bobble

3. Kirby's Super Star
2.Casltevania: Rondo of Blood/ Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse/ Castlevania II: Simon's Quest
1. Strider 2
"I love me some Strider 2 every now and then."Same here, even if I managed to finish the game in 34 minutes. That was the only real flaw.
"@Tireyo643: There is also a version on wiiware with 4 player multilayer and tonnes more levels. I haven't played it, but from what I've heard it still manages to keep the magic of the original, so you might want to look into getting that, rather than the VC version. I'd check out reviews first though."It's not out in the USA, and I don't know where he lives, but that could be a problem. It's supposed to be pretty good, though. I have stick to the VC NES version on Wii, personally.

"@Tireyo643: You should buy it! Bubble Bobble is a classic! Even better when you have someone to play it with."
I'll think about it.
@BoG @MattyFTM Is there a new feature here on GB? I noticed that I got a message that ya'll commented to my response in this blog. That's really handy!
Rondo of Blood is a great game. Castlevania is up there with my favorite franchises and that is one of the best. And I really haven't played Mega Man 9 yet, so your praise has me curious. Still, I really have never been able to play many of the games except 1 and 2 so the difficulty might put me off.
I enjoyed Bubble Bobble when I was a kid, but upon revisiting it, I'm not overly fond of it. It's still a fun little diversion, but it's just not one of my favorites any more. However, I'd definitely agree with the rest of your choices - Megaman 9 in particular is a really great game.
