Nice! I have a friend with an original Berzerk standup.

Here's a mostly forgotten one: Phantom 2040 for SNES

Not truly a metroidvania, but an interesting platformer shooter with branching paths and many different endings.

IDK what games are actually compatible with your device, but I do have opinions about cool older games.

turn based:
Civilization
Master of Magic
Champions of Krynn, Death Knights of Krynn, and Dark Queen of Krynn
Shadowrun Returns, Shadowrun: Dragonfall, and Shadowrun: Hong Kong
Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magic Obscura

platformers:
Noita
Dead Cells

driving:
Gran Turismo 4

My RP3 is how I got completely absorbed into the trails series. Starting with Trails in the Sky and Trails in the Sky Second Chapter on PSP.

Not sure what they have available, but Advance Wars and Tactics Ogre I both had fun with. I heard good things about the Disgaea games (the fourth one in particular), too, but never played them.

It's a top-scrolling shooter, but give Tyrian 2000 a go. It's free on GOG.

Raptor: Call of the Shadows is another nice one by Epic Games' then competitor Apogee.

Milon's secret castle. Top notch NES game.

You can't go wrong with Sunsoft's NES library for the most part. Those are some of my favorite games on the system.

Earthbound on SNES is a timeless one. Advance Wars is an excellent turn-based series. I played it on GBA, but there are a bunch of versions.

Earthbound ♥️

I've been going through the old Final Fantasies. I finished FF5 and FF6 last year and recommend both. They have great pacing (They change things up before it gets too stale) and if you keep an online guide handy, it's not as frustrating as it was when I was 10.

I've been enjoying 30xx. It's a Megaman inspired game with lots of replayability.

Colin McRae Rally 1 & 2 for driving games.

How are you liking the RP3? I don't own a handheld myself but I'm always tempted to get one.

I realised after posting that it's actually the rp3+, but I love it. It's really versatile in terms of gaming and will play lots of games.

Cannot recommend Panzer Dragoon Saga enough. One of the best looking Sega Saturn games. Its a JRPG with turn-based battles, a super unique system. Along with the rest of the Panzer Dragoon series (though they are on-rails arcade shooters), not sure the RP3 is powerful enough for original Xbox games.

For driving, I am sure you've already been recommended the usual, but to reiterate: anything from Gran Turismo, Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, Collin McRae, WipeOut, Need for Speed, and Sega GT are all good picks.

Highly recommend a good pair of headphones for Panzer Dragoon Saga as well when playing on a handheld. It has an excellent soundtrack.

Yeah this game is amazing and barely anyone has played it

Can you adjust it to 4:3?

VanHalbgott OP ,

I could, but I don’t want to.

Lifecoach5000 ,

That’s crazy talk!

Norgur ,

Finally someone who doesn't notice the stretch of 4:3 to 16:9 less than the black bars to the sides. Someone like me.

Maruki_Hurakami ,

Same here!

Oh, is that why some people prefer stretching? It looks awful to me.

You monster. The only games I widescreen are GameCube with a hack.

constantokra ,

I hate your opinion, but I like that you're confident about it.

pimento64 ,

Not valid

NewNewAccount ,

Love this. It’s wrong, but I love it!

Like everyone else I am offended.
