Market-wise, yes. Actual content (games), no

I mean, Zelda Wii U + TP HD >>>> Bunch of mobile spin offs + Pokkén.



Bet with Teeqoz for 2 weeks of avatar and sig control that Super Mario Odyssey would ship more than 7m on its first 2 months. The game shipped 9.07m, so I won

Zelda will have a better game with Zelda U, but as far as an 'anniversary' goes Pokemon will easily have the best one. I mean they have freaking Superbowl commercial! They're going all out. I think there is a new movie as well?

 


yep, there is a new movie every year, also this year's one should be the one where they spend a little more money since it's the one where the third leggendary appears (excluding the Kyurem one, that was just BAAAAAAAAD) ...

I didn't know there were that many! The last one I've seen is probably the one with Lucario which must be like 10 years old by now. Maybe I should watch a new one. You seem to have seen them all, are there any which are particulary good? (besides those from gem 1 and 2, I've seen those)

I'm not that big of a fan of Pokémon movies but I've seen most of them for one reason or another, I suggest you to look up those from generation 4 ("Giratina and the Sky Warrior" and "Arceus and the Jewel of Life" more than any other ) which should be number 10 to 13 iirc (I know for a fact that Arceus is number 12) 

then I suggest you to skip the whole gen 5 movies (or if you want to try watch the one which was double for Black and White, Movie 14 ) , don't even try to watch Keldeo vs Kyurem, that by far is the worst one I've seen, Genesect vs Mewtwo was meh too...

For VI° gen I still haven't seen any of them but saddly the line of bad games seems to not have stopped, if you missed on them I suggest you to watch Pokémon Heroes and Jirachi Wishmaker too...

Dragon Quest 30th anniversary is pretty significant in Japan.

But outside of Japan ? DQXI certainly won't come to the west in 2016 meaning that the only games we'll get are DQVII and DQVIII on the 3DS both of which were already available on other systems...

Yes.. (if sony haven't made a perfect VR Crash Bandicoot game)

Pokemon Z will be announced soon, maybe, hopefully!

Can't even think of any other gaming franchises having anniversaries this year. So in that sense, I agree.

Here you go

If they even announce Metroid, it would probably be my favorite annaversary moment. It's 30 years is this year too.

For me it's Zelda. Pokemon Go and Pokemon Z couldn't hold a candle to Zelda U imo.
