Any must play Retro Games that anyone here suggests?
In particular looking for anything on GBA, N64, or PSX but really just open to any suggestions!
#Must Play Retro Games

Chrono Trigger and Tales of Phantasia are my go-to old games
Earthbound is really good, too
Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask too

Alright
N64:
Bomberman Hero (3D Platformer)
Space Station Silicon Valley (3D Platformer, also on PS1)
Sin & Punishment (Weird… rail shooter… thing. Japan only, fan translation exists.)
F-Zero X (Racing, fast as a fucking squirrel on crack)
Ogre Battle 64 (literally the one good RPG on the console)
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (Weird 3D Platformer Zelda-Clone thing, extremely Japanese)
PS1:
Megaman Legends 1/Megaman Legends 2 (3D Platformer/Shooter/RPG things)
The Misadventures of Tron Bonne (prequel to the above, easily a top 5 game on the console for me)
Nightmare Creatures (Gothic hack & slash. Often jokingly called a prequel to Bloodborne.)
The Legend of Dragoon (Tired for second or third best RPG on the console)
Xenogears X (The game Legend of Dragoon is tied with)
Rising Zan: The Samurai Gunman (Hack and slash platformer thing. Extremely Japanese. Very weird.)
GBA/GBC
Wario Land 3 (Insane 2D platformer that was one of the first I know of that went “what if the player character couldn’t die”)
The Legacy of Goku II/Dragon Ball Z: Buu’s Fury (Genuinely. No joke. Some of the best ARPG’s on the console.)
Megaman Battle Network 2 & 3
(Good RPG’s. You can skip the first one, it has a comically eyesore inducing set of backgrounds.)
Justice League Heroes: The Flash (An astoundingly good Beat’Em’Up with a fun assist gimmick.)
Gunstar Super Heroes (Followup to Gunstar Heroes on the Genesis. Extremely good Run & Gun. Has a fun thing where more story happens depending on the difficulty level of the run.)
Shaman King: Master of Spirits (An astonishingly good licensed Metroidvania.)
Metroid Fusion (A very good Metroid game.)
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow (CASTLEVANIA GOES ANIME BAYBEEEEEEEEE and it’s a good metroidvania ig)
I will now shrivel back into my hole, but there you go @azure holly

Funnily enough I knew of Sin & Punishment already lol

Everyone talks about how Symphony of the Night is the best Castlevania ever made, but I put it second to Aria of Sorrow, just above Dawn of Sorrow in 3rd place
It is telling that Koji Igarashi used the backbone of Aria of Sorrow when creating his Castlevania spiritual successor Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night

rhythm tengoku for the gba
a beautiful sendoff to the gba era along with mother 3
metroid zero mission also be one of my favs
nonono puzzle chalien also be one of the best widget games i have ever played
i also liked warioware twisted because it had the gyrometer
gba truly the best handheld to come out of the beginning of the century
tekken had a game for the gba, although it won't hold your interest for very long
mario & luigi: superstar saga is certainly worth playing, as is kingdom hearts: chain of memories and kirby: the amazing mirror
i gush too much whenever i talk about the gba
(gba) games i haven't played but are still worth a mention are: the various sonic advance games, megaman zero series, mario vs donkey kong, mario kart advance, and the various spyro and crash bandicoot games
