Good shoulder buttons, Flipnote Studio (possibly with a 3D graphics creator), and a VC that updates every week. Thank goodness we have VC, let's just hope Nintendo sticks to it...
First one is my favorite. I haven't played much Zelda, but I find the series simply fascinating. First one is the most shallow plot wise (naturally, it is an NES game), but the classic hack-and-slash gameplay will never be beat.
There was this one stage in Donkey Kong Country- Early on, I believe- it was one of those stages where you have to shoot yourself into barrels. I kept on dying at the exact same point every single time! I nearly snapped my controller.
