Mike Bowerman of Gaming Rebellion Writes: "Late last year, a fan-made album titled “Harmony of Heroes” was released to the public for free. The compilation of video game music was both enormous and incredibly well done. Through all the fantastic music, however, there was one song that really struck a chord with me (pun totally intended). “El Pájaro es la Palabra” is a rendition of my favorite composition in my favorite Legend of Zelda game, The Wind Waker. The song is a superb version of the Dragon Roost Island theme; I wrote about why I enjoyed the piece so much on my site.
I got to sit down with Laura Intravia and chat with her about the song, her musical career, what video games she enjoys, and how she came to be involved with Harmony of Heroes. Laura is an amazing woman: she has played in the popular Video Games Live!, has been nominated for awards, and simply does some awesome musical stuff."
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.
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.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
20 years later, The Wind Waker’s Ganondorf is still The Legend of Zelda’s best villain.
