Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The original PlayStation release is the only one that has the terrible (in a good way) translation and voiceover work. It also holds up perfectly - I only played it for the first time a few years ago, and it's easily my favorite Metroidvania. It's still the king of the genre that partly bears its name, even decades after it came out.

super metroid. (Please note there's a run button.)

I loved when old games had a basic mechanic you could ignore for 99% of the game, but you'd softlock yourself if you forgot it exists.

Crouch-jumping was another offender.

Just replying Soma Bringer for the DS. Never got an official English translation, but the fan translation is really good.
It's an action RPG with loads of character customisation, and a very robust multiplayer mode.

Dragons Blood/Draconis on the Dreamcast. It's a great forgotten romp through a grimdark fantasy world.

Any Zelda, most Fire Emblem games, most Final Fantasy games, Final Fantasy Tactics, Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre, lots of JRPGs (Mana, 7th saga...), Chrono Trigger, most Castlevanias, Summon Night (1 and 2, both GBA games), some of the Metroid games, Mario RPG... This is easily 500h of games.

Dark Chonicle/Dark Cloud 2, it's one of Level-5's best games of all time on the PS2
