I’m looking for recommendations for games to get for my retroid picket 3. I like platfirmers, metroidvania, turn based games and driving games.

Any suggestions gratefully received!

Thanks in advance.

Edit: thanks for all the replies - so many more than I expected! Plenty for me to take a look at. :-)

    The device looks like it’ll be good to play most games upto the PSP. While I can suggest the usual suspects, Super Metroid, Metroid 4, SotN, Pokemon I’m going to suggest odd-ball games which I like

    Game Boy

    • Super Mario Bros Deluxe (NES Mario 1 & JP Mario 2 with saves and bonus features)
    • Harry Potter 1,2,&3 (Turn Based RPGs, bit rough but an excellent sound track)
    • Mickey’s Speedway USA (made by Rare, fantastic soundtrack, top down racer, GBC game so controls are wonky)

    GBA

    • Crash Nitro Kart (smoother and plays better IMHO than Super Circuit, controls require some patience to master)
    • Spongebob Squarepants the Movie the Game (Made by Wayforward, and is better than I’d expect a license game to be)
    • Jurassic Park Operation Genesis (Zoo tycoon with Dinos on GBA)

    Genesis

    • Ren & Stimpy Stimpy’s Invention (beautiful and painful platformer)
    • TMNT Hyperstone Heist (Turtles in Time, but legally distinct so Nintendo didn’t sue)
    • Scooby-Doo Mystery (A point and click adventure on the Genesis, yes they made one)

    SNES

    PlayStation

    • Pac-Man World 20th Anniversary (3D Platformer that’s aged well)
    • Scooby Doo and the Cyber Chase (A 3D Platformer that hasn’t)
    • Harry Potter 1&2 (We have the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time at home)
    • Rugrats Search for Reptar (if you like the show you’ll like the game, otherwise it makes PS1 Hagrid look like the monalisa)
    • The Emperor’s New Groove (3D Platformer that’s aged a lot better than it should’ve)

    PSP

    • Star Wars Battlefront II, Renegade Squadron, & Elite Squadron (same concept, 3 different implementations, all have their pros and cons)
    • Modnation Racers (yes they ported a PS3 game to a portable with less power than a PS2, and it’s not half bad)
    • LittleBigPlanet (same deal, just with a platformer)
    • LEGO Star Wars II/LEGO Indiana Jones (PS2 games ported to PSP)
