That Shigeru Miyamoto is a genius is common knowledge. It was no surprise that GameSpy billed him as the most influential person in gaming. Yet what many people don’t realize is that of all the Zelda games, The Wind Waker has turned out to be the most accurate reflection of Miyamoto’s mind.
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.
In a new interview with IGN, Shigeru Miyamoto talks about designing Super Nintendo World, his opinion on video game stories, and why Nintendo is more than just a game company now.
At least the onecin hollywood is kond of a let down...too small, 1 ride, and 1 restaurant...lots of cool moving things, but once you see it thats it...kids could have fun if the lines dont ruin it.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
Not knocking the article, but WW took so much flack back in the day when first came out...why is it that so many people in the media are now praising it? The HD upgrade. The original toon shading is much better design than this upgrade and the game was brilliant then. I hate the media.
I remember seeing what they had done with Wind Waker the first time and was like WTF. I still bought it and after about two hours into the game I was like, WOW don't judge a book by its cover. It was an amazing game, in fact I liked it better than Twilight Princess. I mean all of the console Zelda titles are instant classics. I guess I should have trusted Nintendo more when I first saw WW. Now I am looking forward to seeing what how they upgrade it. Can not wait.
I agree with the Author, I think WW is closest to Miyamoto's Mind- WW was great I just did not live SAILING.
-Mostly, switching from the Map and then having to Change wind directions with the Baton. If they Stream lined that I would like it more.
Sorry Mario, Wind Waker is the best game Nintendo ever published.
I´ve always found the wind waker to be the best game ever. It took flack because there are a lot of gamers that think more mature graphics is cooler and better. It's the tabboo of liking something that looks childish. The cell shaded graphics of wind waker just gives the characters a whole other level of facial expressions and life. That along with the exploring of the sea which I found awesome.
