Final Fantasy VI will probably always be my favorite. The opera scene, the world getting destroyed, suicide attempt, Kefka... It just was the perfect RPG and still very playable today.
I had completely forgot how good 3ds rainbow road was. But the other tracks are great too, definitely my favorite wave so far, with Boo Lake being the most surpringly great track!
I know lots of people are sick of Metroidvania style games, but not me. Hollow Knight was unbelievably good, and I usually buy most of these on sale later on anyways, unless there's a collectors edition offered!
So many amazing games. Super Metroid or Prime will always be my favorite, but I thought Dread was very overrated, while the 3dS remake Samus Returns was underrated... I loooved the music in that one!
Fun list, so many good memories. If Tears of the Kingdom has epic dungeons and boss battles combined with the great overworld of Breath of the Wild, it will be the greatest game in history.
@KateGray hey, it's your list! I love the original trilogy, but some of the newer games had better cases for sure. Did you guys not like case 3 from Resolve? That may be my favorite case of the newer games. And honestly, any list with Ace Attorney games makes me happy!
Not gonna lie, I'm SHOCKED that the 3rd case from Great Ace Attorney Resolve is not on here. One of the longest and best "regular" cases in the series, awesome music and characters throughout (Drebber and his theme are so good), and a somewhat surprising culprit that helped tie into the overall corruption theme.
As someone who played them, I would definitely suggest playing 3 first, because it's a good game, but 4 is really really good so save that for after you finish 3.
This was an amazing game, but I honestly prefer the Ogre Battle and Ogre Battle 64 games... Nothing else quite like those that I can recall. This one is like final fantasy tactics and other strategy RPGs, just a bit more complicated. Still awesome tho!
I'm not asking for much here. Just about 10 proper, unique dungeons and epic bosses. Please. The overworld of BOTW was the best ever by far, but the dungeons were so blaaaaaah
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is insane in its track options, great control, online joy, etc. It's almost unfair to compare it against the others. No idea how Mario Kart 9 will outdo 8
Started with Metroid when I was 9, but I didn't really enjoy it. Metroid II I liked a ton as a kid, but then Super Metroid is when I fell in love with the series. I've played and enjoyed all of them, but never gave Other M a chance due to all the negative reactions. Thought about trying it finally...
So I was an unfortunate soul that bought this game for Wii U... So if i want it for switch, should I just wait for all the DLC to be released then buy the inevitable full version, or just buy it now and keep getting DLC every few months?
49.99...for a 16 bit remake? Good lord the Great Ace Attorney was 29.99 for 2 full modern games... Hard pass til price drop, cause I'll get it eventually.
Was hoping this was a satire article... Cmon, you're trying WAY too hard to be edgy and different. No one who hasn't had 20 shots of tequila or several sniffs of yeyo could possibly believe Sunshine is even in the top 3 of 3d Mario games.
Excited for this. Terranigma really needs an official western release as it was awesome to play even tho being so dated. The 16 bit Era was so awesome!
Never played since I didn't want a PSP, so definitely going to give this a shot, but may wait awhile as many Switch ports seem to do better after a few updates and fixes.
I think I'm one of the 3 or 4 people on Earth that didn't think Half Life was that good...so never got around to trying Portal either. Definitely going to try it, but hoping there's a physical edition announced soon.
Loved it! Great variety of boss battles, fair but punishing difficulty, and just plain fun to play. My backlog is so full that I'll be several years behind for the rest of my life. Just now playing Mario vs Rabbids and can't believe how good it is.
I can't believe how good the first game is. Currently playing as I'm like 4 years behind on my back catalog, and it really is a great game. I was almost shocked haha
