Favorite Series

[Mr. Wiggles]

Just about every one of the most recent installments in every Nintendo series has been in some way a blight on the franchise, I'm tempted to not even bother. But no one wants to hear that whoole song and dance from me again, so... overall, I'd say Zelda, hands down.

I can understand if people didn't like Twilight Princess (same old, same old) and Mario Galaxy (Too easy, also same old), but you can't honestly tell me you didn't love Metroid Prime 3.

MP3 (which is great) was same old, same old. TP, uh, I didn't eat up the Peter Jackson-esque visuals (which is what everybody wanted), and that is all that was all it really had going for it.

[Chupperson Weird]

as well as Sonic (although he's not entirely Nintendo)

In fact, he isn't one bit Nintendo at all!

Also, why is it in style to hate good games these days? Mario Galaxy is amazingly fresh for a 3D platformer and I don't really know where you're coming from with the Peter Jackson comparison but I will say that Twilight Princess was easily the most enjoyable Zelda game I have played.

I can name two off the hat: Boloblins riding those boars, Orks riding wargs, And that guy (Can't remebers his name right now, uh, Ganon's puppet), he looked an awful lot like the Sauron's messenger from Return of the King.

Seconded. As I have said before, I feel many people here have registered just to complain about how terrible games (all of which I've found awesome) have become. It's getting irritating, and it makes me want to not come here anymore. Along with the rude sarcasm and general n00bish behavior that has recently occured here, I just may take a break from this place.

I guess I refined my posting schedule just in time, then.

I had to say the Metroid series. The first few 'roid games were all really awesome. Sure the Metroid Primes brought shame to them, but they were decent, and Hunters had awesome multiplayer. I like the Mario series, but overall there are way too many spin-offs. The only Metroid spin-off was a pinball game. Honorable mention goes to F-Zero and Star Fox (both of which are missing from the poll).

[Vidgmchtr]

Sure the Metroid Primes brought shame to them,

They did NOT bring shame. The Prime series is the reason WHY I sort of like Metroid.

[Chupperson Weird]

Um, do you understand what that sentence even means? He said they were a lot better than the 2D games.

[MEGAߥTE]

No, he didn't.

[Vidgmchtr]

Yeah I read it as the Metroid Prime series sucked compared to the side-scrollers (Metroid, Super Metroid, II, Fusion, Zero Mission, etc.). I don't feel that's true, because I like the Prime games even more than the others.

Thirded. I don't see why people hate some of the newer Mario games. I do think they could afford to cut back on the spin-offs a bit, but I like all of the non-spinoff games I've played (haven't played Galaxy, but I'm sure I'll like it). I'm keeping my hopes up for another major Mario adventure on the Wii, maybe not like another major 3D game, but at least something like another RPG.

Guess I was thinking "put them to shame." Remind me not to post right after I get up in the morning.

What's ironic about the spinoffs thing is that this season has shown what is possibly the least amount of Mario spin-offs yet.

Yes, I'm glad about that, but I was referring to games like Strikers and Baseball (they weren't bad games, I just think they were unneccesary), and there'll probably be more sports games like that in the future.
