There are two mini games that stand out for me, and had me totally losing some focus on the actual main game. It's:

Triple Triad - Final Fantasy 8
Fishing in Zelda OoT

These "mini" games feels like independant games of their own.

I can't believe how shitty(and confusing) Tetra Master in FF9 felt compared to FF8's Triple Triad.

That shell thing in Mario DS.

 

[lachesis]

Sakura Taisen (series)'s mini games in general. I especially liked Cocrique (sp?)'s mini game in ST3.

The Hypno minigame in the first Pokémon Stadium was quality!

I think they shoved Tetra Master into FF11 and forced anybody who wanted to play it to pay an extra $1.

I will agree with you on fishing in OOT. I must have put several hours just beating my records. :lol

It's simplistic, but I loved the generic casino machine that forked out extra lives in Mario 2. I worked out the timing perfectly so that I always got the maximum number of lives, and I always played with Toad so that I picked the most shrooms. Nostalgia talking? Probably, but that's ok.

I also really dug the Zelda fishing game.

The Mercenaries - RE4

 

[hobbitx]

Absolute tie between the Xenogears battle arena and the Chocobo Racing area from FFVII. Calling these "mini-games" is a real understatement because they were amazing and I'd totally buy these seperately.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Xenocards in Xenosaga
Tetra Master in Final Fantasy IX (Hey, I loved it)
Spheda in Dark Cloud 2
Fishing in Dark Cloud 2

 

[StoOgE]

that thing with the slingshot in Mario 64 DS. Also, most of Feel the magic.

Death Tank Zewi - Mini Game from Duke Nukem 3D (Sega Saturn)

7 Player madness!!!

[yoshifumi]

pretty much any fishing minigame
triple triad card game from ff8

 

[Trakball]

Ryo: "Would you like to play a game of Lucky Hit?" :lol

"Okay! Just this once."

I can't believe people are fronting on the Mario Party series in general.

"How about a game of lucky hit?"

:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol


I nominate Monkey Ball Parachute

 

[Trakball]

Oh, fuck yeah, Monkey Target. How could I forget that?

 

[Spiritreaver]

I second Sphere Break, Triple Triad (did anyone play those online versions of it?), and Tetra Master. I also found the little Cactaur shooting game in X-2 to be cute, and enjoyable because of that.

I'm not sure if this can be counted, but I really loved Ballista, the PVP game in FFXI.
