i personally disagree with sonic,although im a huge fan no one can deny the crap ton of well crap games hes had only recently has he begun to get better,but it is all opinion though to me the prince has stood the test of time,literally.

MWH3943d ago (Edited 3943d ago )

regardless, the point is he's still here and one day he might regain his momentum.

pr0t0typeknuckles3943d ago

but regardless,the point is even though he is regaining momentum,hes lost so much respect,due to the amount of bad games hes had,people now will no longer give sonic a chance for his new games even though theyre amazing,all they think of when they see sonic is sonic 06,or unleashed night time levels,or sonic 3d blast,etc...,believe it or not some people dont like colors or generations,and i dont know why.

SegaGamer3943d ago

I can and will deny it. Sonic games in my opinion are fantastic. I prefer the Sonic games from Sonic Adventure onwards over the 2D games. Let's be honest here, the only reason people call the newer Sonic games crap is because they let nostalgia get in the way. If Sonic's first game was Sonic Adventure people wouldn't be saying Sonic games are crap.

pr0t0typeknuckles3943d ago

not really,i started with the adventure series,and i played the origonals after,but sonic has had a lot of bad games,sonic and the secret rings.black knight,sonic unleashed night time levels,sonic shuffle,sonic r,sonic and the fighters,sonic 2006,he has had some terrible games,but regardless like i said i still love the character,but imo,hes not a character that has stood the test of time imo.

MWH3943d ago

the thing is, SEGA is the one that may have lost some respect, it's SEGA's failure not Sonic's. Sonic himself as a character is still popularity and likeable and fans still looking forward for decent Sonic games.

I'm a veteran Sonic fan myself and I agree with some of what you said only because I feel there's a Sonic fan in you, but nonetheless, to argue on this is just futile.

let's just hope they do at least one more decent Sonic game in our lifetime.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI3943d ago

Terrible list. It's more like 'hey these are iconic characters'

Sonic really hasn't; more crappy titles than good.

Link definitely has.

Solid Snake is not exactly an old character. That being said, Big Boss has been featured in more games now than him.

Mario sure.

Megaman, no. Why? Because capcom is dead set on making sure he doesn't get a proper new title. Only cameos.

EvilFluff913943d ago

What do you mean Solid Snake isn't an old character hes's just as old as Link and Mega Man he was created in 1986/87 just like them. On another note it's a shame poor Crash was killed in his prime,he had so much to give. :(

mephman3943d ago

He probably forgot that Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 existed.

KrimsonKody3943d ago

I would've put Mega Man 1st.
Mario 2nd.
& Sonic 3rd.
I love all three of them, but I think MegaMan MAY have more games than Mario.
Not sure.

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno69d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

FinalFantasyFanatic100d ago

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon100d ago (Edited 100d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

anast100d ago

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul100d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

Zelda Fan Brings Godzilla to Life in Tears of the Kingdom

A fan of The Legend of Zelda has recreated the iconic Japanese monster Godzilla in Tears of the Kingdom using the game's Zonai devices.

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
