It’s never ideal to lose exclusives, it’s even worse when you’re a brand new console just bursting on the scene. Now with Rayman Legends and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge going multiplatform, and several other third-party games mostly backing the other consoles, it’s become hard to justify a Nintendo Wii U purchase.
Relive the golden age of gaming with these timeless video games. From Wind Waker to Monkey Island, get ready for a nostalgia-filled ride.
I'd put Street Fighter 2 over 3. 2 and all its different versions dominated the arcade scene back in the day in a way that 3 never did.
Agreed, Same with Metal Gear Solid imo. Came for Bioshock and was not disappointed. Would easily put Burger Time or Space Taxi over tempest. Also, OG Sim City and Oregon Trail. Mario 64 as well. Just too many!
Me too. I didn't have a GC until way later and never played it. I've been waiting on Nintendo to release the HD edition on the Switch for forever, but they just won't!
I never bought a Gamecube, I've always had an urge to play this game, maybe it'll get a remaster in the future.
I played it on WiiU for the first time and it remains my fave Zelda game to date. So much character and a real sense of exploration without the open world bloat.
Ms Pacman?
Robotron?
SSF2 Turbo over 3 simply by the 10000000000's ports of the game we're still having
Castlevania SOTN?
Zelda Link to the Past over Wind Waker
Super Mario Bros 3?
Chrono Trigger?
Resident evil4?
COD MW2 (the original)?
Uncharted 2
Metal Gear Solid?
Here's my reasoning for all of them versus the list proposed in the article.
They are still quite enjoyable from start to finish on their original platform, unlike some Wind Waker or Okami that are fun when you play the remastered version (unless you call: forced to watch a 20-minute cutscene or have to blow for wind chance constantly fun).
Some of them are the pinnacle of what the console could do (MGS, Chrono, MGS)
Lots of them are still considered the go-to-go game for their genre.
Bayonetta's character design and abilities have changed a lot since the series debuted in 2009, with new costumes and dark arts in every title.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
A new IP developed by Game Freak? Wasn't such a thing being released in 10 days? Oh that's right, it is. I don't get why everyone complains about Nintendo not making new IPs, although it's not the majority of what they do, and they don't do it nearly as much as other companies do, they still do alot.
I think Nintendo will have a really amazing E3. There are a lot of games we know are coming in the second half of the year with plenty more that are sure to ve announced.
I find it idiotic to judge a console just on the first 4-6 months, its that the case, all consoles would have been terrible, there is always a software drought after lunch. As for the 3rd party stuff, it has been an issue since the N64 and nintendo is still here, i do feel that Nintendo is trying to get more support but a lot of devs are kinda biased and wont even try to release their games. But there are always going to be some great 3rd party effort and amazing 1st party games. And as a multi console/PC owner, i dont have to worry about 3rd party games anyway
What I find exciting, is that instead of Nintendo focusing on hardware this year, they will be focusing on games. All games. Lots of games. And that's what we all want at this point, so I think it will be great.
I have no doubt this will be an E3 to remember. I hope it surpasses the Twilight Princess reveal years ago. Seeing the trailer as well as the crowd reaction was amazing. I too expect Retro to reveal that they are working on another Metroid game. They did such a great job on the Prime series and I hope they continue to support the series in some way.
Hopefully Nintendo will have the VC with remote gamepad play up and running by then. Thats the one thing that has pissed me off since day one about the Wii U.
