I've reactivated my Gamefly account

Because I decided there were finally enough games out there for me to bother. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for particularly awesome Wii, DS, GameCube, or GBA games I should rent from them. Here's what my Q looks like so far:

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories (Wii)
MadWorld (Wii)
House of the Dead: Overkill (Wii)
No More Heroes (Wii)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Reflex (Wii)
A Boy and His Blob (Wii)
The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures (GCN)
The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap (GBA)
Spider-Man: Web of Shadows (Wii)
The Conduit (Wii)
DK: King of Swing (GBA)
Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast (Wii)
Mario Party DS (DS)
Mario Party 8 (Wii)
Metroid: Zero Mission (GBA)
TMNT: Smash-Up (Wii)
TMNT: Arcade Attack (DS)
Resident Evil (GCN)
Gun (GCN)
Kirby: Squeak Squad (DS)
Kirby Super Star Ultra (DS)
Kirby & the Amazing Mirror (GBA)

And of course, you know I've played all the big releases from Nintendo. So, aside from them, is there anything I'm shamefully neglecting?

Rent "It's Mr. Pants", Rare's whimsically psychotic GBA puzzler. It's challenging.

I've actually played It's Mr. Pants. I found it curiously addictive.

The latest I ever get them is 3 days after I get the "we've sent your game" message, and that's coming from the Austin to Delaware. It's not as fast as going to Gamestop or Steam, but it takes 6 months for the rental cost to reach $50.

Make sure you play Big Bang Mini and Elite Beat Agents on the DS. You might end up with an already completed game (EBA does not have a way to clear data; not sure about BBM), but they are still both very different and very fun.

The other two I'd suggest would be Okami (Wii, a lot like TP) and Metal Arms: Glitch in the System. (GC)

I could give you more good games, but I'm guessing you aren't much of a RPG fan from your current Q.

I'm not hugely into RPGs that don't have the word "Mario" in the title, but I did enjoy Skies of Arcadia Legends on GameCube immensely, if that serves as any sort of an indicator for you.

^ But do you actually like the Mario RPGs or do you just like them because they're Mario? Because SMRPG, at its fundamental core, is still similar to others RPGs.

Well from what I know of PM TtyD and SMRpG while they are for the mostpart traditinal JRPGs they also mix in alot of the Mario style and have a good bit of humor to them. Along with that they seem to be abit self aware as well, I can't see any FF or Tales of games doing anything like the Step in here and come out in Glorious 8 bit pixil art even as a call back to the roots of the games. Earthbound maybe but even then Earthbound lives to both mock popculter in geniral yet have a deep and immursive storyline.

SoA was very similar to the first half of Final Fantasy VI in terms of most of its plot and cast. The battle system is almost completely different, and it's overall a lot more serious of a game than Mario or SoA, but the GBA port might still be something worth looking at.

From what I've heard of Infinite Space it sounds like SoA in space with a more detailed ship/fleet customization system. Unfortunately the reviews have been pretty mediocre, and I can't give my own opinion on it because I haven't played it yet.

I do like the battle systems present in the Mario RPG series, yes. It's more engaging and less passive than some, what with the action commands and all. I tried the original Final Fantasy for NES (via Virtual Console) recently, though, and found it to be pretty dull.

I've also enjoyed installments of the Mega Man Battle Network series, probably for the same reason; more action, less sitting back and waiting for the computer to move your guys and then the enemy's guys.

Also, he knows about timed hits.
