2013 has been a amazing year for gaming, two new consoles in the PS4 and the Xbox One, titles such as GTA V and The Last of Us that showed to some that great story writing in video games can happen but it was one little handheld console that had one of the worst launches in recent times that turned 2013 into something quite unbelievable in the terms of games it pumped out. In term of games it released it was the best console for 2013.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.
Game Rant participates in the Megaton Musashi World Cup, checking out the game a little bit beforehand and winning the first round match.
After being benched for 20 years, and returning only to be forsaken again despite being a splendid game, it's time Kid Icarus gets salvation.
Most people consider a portable system and a console to be two totally different machines. That being said I think the 3DS had a great year and has an excellent library of titles. Especially in the world of RPGs.
RPGs were great this year and I'm hoping to get into more of that this year - when I have the time that is.
As a JRPG fan, i think 3DS was my favorite console of 2013, i enjoyed more...
