Mega Man X Collection. After this I'll need to find a way to play the last two games.

I've got both of the PS2 sequels, and while I don't exactly know how well they are compared to the PS1 original, I still really enjoyed playing both of them. tbh, out of those two I like Ape Escape 3 more, but I'd say both of them are worth a look in, definitely.
Ape Escape 2 contains all of the different monkeys (Which I think actually appeared in that game as one of the new additions), and you also get to fight the Freaky Monkey Five, (Which I believe was also a new addition).
Ape Escape 3 has the stuff from the previous game, plus these "morphs", which change your character into ones with new abilities. You could turn into a medieval knight, a cowboy with popguns, a ninja who has robot mimics, and about 4 more. Plus you get to play Mesal Gear Solid (Yes, it even contains a Solid Snake monkey in it), if that kind of stuff interests you. There's at least over 300 monkeys to catch in this one, including about 17 extra which you can unlock by entering character codes at the start menu.
Like I said, I enjoyed both of the games, but I guess you can only make the decision for yourself as to whether you'd want to pick up either of them or not. Personally, I'd recommend them.

I just beated Super Mario 64 DS. I think its what every remake should be like. Its shame that Ubi always messes up their remakes (RDS, R3D, R3HD). Nintendo should teach Ubisoft how to make remakes.

Poor Mario had to share his cake with Yoshi, Luigi and Wario in the 64 DS version. XD

Rayfan has quite the point. A lot of people really overexaggerated about the 3d remake, I did encounter one stupid glitch in the sanctuary of Stone and Fire which made it unable for me to complete the level and have to restart. :x
Though simply because the game had 1-2 things we didn't like is no reason to hate it. Though it was a rather rushed remake, but it wasn't really that bad.

The only reason why I disliked the R3 HD remake was due to the fact that the game CAN FREEZE your system (it happened to 2 members here), the game is so flawed, (a glitch has occured a while back to me and Stace where the game DOESN'T EVEN LET YOU ENTER THE FINAL LEVEL.), and the weird fucked up textures. Otherwise, I suppose it still had that wacky Rayman 3 spirit.

Ahaha, I say the same! I already enjoyed the original but the DS remake made the game even better. A gem from the Nintendo DS I must say.

I already exposed my argument, I don't feel wanting to repeat.

I didn't say anywhere I hated Rayman 3D, at least it is much better than the Rayman DS game, that's for sure.

I also had the freezing glitch in Rayman 3 HD, twice or thrice if I remind well. It never stopped me to enter in the Tower of the Leptys by the way.

Anyway, I finished Paper Mario and wrote a review in my dA page. :D

Rayfist could have mentioned me inside the plural word since I argumented about the game.

i have been playing fallout tactics,and its one of my favorites games of the series,but its not my fav
btw i played fallout new vegas dlc dead money,and ITS ONE OF THE WORST DLCS I EVER PLAYED,AND IM NOT TALKING ABOUT DLC THAT ONLY GIVES SOME STUFF,im talking about dlcs that give new weapons,missions,places and etc.The dlc tryed to be something scary ,but its boring,easy,and its annoying,the stuff that it gives to the player sucks,the place is boring to explore and it was bad,really bad,and the only reason someone would buy it would be for getting new perks and more 5 level ups

I am interested in the Wii game too of course, but I'm giving priority to the GC one since it is older (and rarer) than the Wii one.

I'm kinda delayed too, I know there's a 3DS game of Paper Mario coming out. ^W^'
The wii one WAS VERY DIFFERENT. VERY VERY DIFFERENT. The odd one out. It didn't share the same battle elements, and the whole game is 2d, though you flip to 3d. The concept is cool, and it wasn't BAD. Though the 3ds version will certainly fix this, can't wait.
Still it had good characters like Francis ,Count Bleck,O'Chunks and Mimi. Chapter 4 in the game is awesome too.

I found Super Paper Mario to be senselessly dull and boring. The first two were far better.

Hmmm, I heard that in Super Paper Mario you can switch between 2D and 3D. Do Badges still exist in there, and Star Pieces?

You can switch between the two, but the problem is that it doesn't feel like it provides freedom, it just feels horribly contrived.

@Haruka

And I never said you did hate Rayman 3D, I was not reffering to you D:

Though Rayman 3d was alright imo
I think Super Paper Mario was OKAY, but if you slide it next to the others, it just doesn't cut it for me. :tssk:

Meh, Super Paper Mario is underrated. I did find the stuff you do in Flipside to be horribly boring, though.

I actually really enjoyed Rayman 3D, I always wanted to play a decent port of rayman 2 on the go, the IOS and DS versions both didn't do it for me. For me Rayman 3D controlled perfectly and I didn't find any major glitches aside from one minor; the harmless fish often seen swimming about lacked textures so they were basically balls with eyes. :P

No instead you get Catch Cards which lets you deal more damage to the enemy on the card. Star Peices are replaced with Maps too. TTYD is better for optional things like the Trouble Center.

Hmm, seeing your comments on Rayman 3D makes me wonder if I have a bugged out copy of it.

Some issues I have found with my copy:
  • The intro cutscene stops before having fully zoomed in on the Buccaneer (so you see pipes instead of just black);
  • When transitioning from one area to the other (like going to the first piranha area in the Fairy Glade), the music instantly cuts off and switches, instead of waiting till the next measure;
  • The textures for the cages are upside-down;
  • The textures for the big Yellow Lums' and Purple Lums' wings are inverted as well;
  • The fish textures are rather messed up, like Bzzit already posted;
  • Several sound effects are so quiet, they are barely audible (for example, Rayman firing an energy ball)
Am I just being too nitpicky for my own good?

I never ran into the game breaking glitch in the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire though.
And I really like that the level geometry is even more detailed than in the DreamCast version. That is a great thing about this version :)

I've started a save file on Rayman Advance, I've never beat it.
