ICrappedMyPants | 302 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Mike Tyson’s Punch-out!! My first foray into video games was watching my cousin play this game and then letting me try at the tender age of 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really find MM2 and MM3 interchangable to me without the nostalgia. MM2 had better weapons (Metal Blades overpowered though), but both had great music and MM3 added the slide. MM2 is the most fun for me but 3 is really the masterpiece of the series especially from a perspective of level design. I absolutely love returning to the remixed levels and the reveal when you fight the robot masters from 2. I always wished the MM2 bosses would give up their weapons leading into the Wily stages. Can I get a hack please? Anyone? Beuller? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reed Rothchild | 9,525 Editorials Team · Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 SNES aside, these two: I won't get into all of the reasons why but the storyline is amazing (Bungie supposedly recycled it for Destiny) and the multiplayer is bar none the greatest ever 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMark0673 | 197 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Top Man, regardless of his excellent animation, renders MM3 unfit to be superior to MM2. I mean, he’s just a top... (half) kidding aside, I do like the slide mechanic, but I always thought rush was sorta forced and gimmicky. That being said, the only games I kept when I sold out were my MM games, so the whole series is worth noting for “great” games IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If by technically better you mean full of massive slowdown because they didn't have time to make their modified copy paste of Mega Man 2 run smoothly, then yes Mega Man 3 is technically better than Mega Man 2.

Glad to see you make the move over to VGS! My MM2 proto is legitimately the only item I’ll likely never sell. Wouldn’t be interested in most 5 figure offers even if the “value” is far less. I’m getting buried with that one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I get a hack please? Anyone? Beuller? Amen. I've never run into another weapon that had as much use or that I liked as much as the Metal Blade. Fantastic weapon power economy, can be fired in any direction, and kills 99% of everything (as well as activating alternate reactions in some enemies not visible using any other weapon--hit the rolling crabs in Bubble Man's level with one to see it in action). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Metal Blade weapon should be in every game, Mega Man or otherwise. Sure it's overpowered but that's why it's so damn fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strange | 1,700 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Final Fantasy III/VI. You’ve heard countless times about the world, the characters, the music, the story, the villain, etc. Spoilers for a Super Nintendo game: I’ll never forget the feeling of when I first explored the World of Ruin and heard that demented organ under the blowing wind, and going into a town for the first time since the “end of the world” and seeing people sitting in the streets next to campfires, listening to the bartender go on about how he actually misses the days the empire occupied the town because his bar was more lively before the world was destroyed, etc. It just all sat with me in a way no game had managed to before. And the final battle with Kefka mirroring The Divine Comedy was really interesting. I still love the organ solo from the Heaven portion, and the sad and emotional section towards the end of the final movement. You can hear the desperation as Kefka realizes he’s likely finished, and the final attack that causes the screen to go red and shake, it’s all just such a well put together game. I loved every minute of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guitarzombie | 924 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 BTW I would totally like MM3 better if it was actually finished. I think MM2 is the better game but MM3 is just way too hard in the beginning and way too easy at the end. The music for MM3 is better than MM2 though from a music geeks perspective. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guillavoie | 1,208 Events Team · Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I'll go with team StarTropics in this thread, because there is so much charm in preferring the NES franchise that never got any reboot outside of the NES lifespan. Not even a mention in Super Smash Bros. trophies and stuff, right? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 (edited) I think it's gotta be Chrono Trigger. The graphics, the music, the mechanics, and even the simplistic story woven with interesting characters. It's as close to perfect as any videogame has ever been. It's a truly special game. Some other beloved games for me (in no particular order): Spoiler FF6 FF7 Castlevania: SotN Super Mario Bros 3 Rocket League Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past Secret of Mana GTA: Vice City Metroid Prime Breath of the Wild Celeste Damn, there are a lot of good videogames.

Wasbi | 6 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 If I were to pick one it'd be Fire Emblem Sacred Stones... But it changes frequently lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightowljrm | 72 Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I don't think I could pick just one, so I'll name a couple: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, and Breath of the Wild are all among my favorites for different reasons. Stardew Valley Xenoblade Chronicles Castlevania (and Castlevania III) Super Mario 64 Sky Kid Those are some of my all-time favorites. It's really hard to pick a "favorite of all time." If it had to be, it'd be one of the Zeldas I mentioned. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
