Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Will any game come out in 2018 that is better than Breath of the Wild or Mario Odyssey?

Depends on if Death Stranding is coming out this year. Other than that, there might not be any games this year to top those metascores, except maybe RDR2, but there’s certainly no shortage of quality regardless. I wouldn’t be surprised if games like God of War, Spider Man, Detroit, and Dreams can easily achieve that 90+ mark, but they’re probably not gonna hit 97+. I cant think of anything on the Nintendo exclusive side that will be a 90+, unless MP4 releases this year.

Wow, the disparity between critic score and userscore is pretty deep in Zelda and Mario. I guess MC users prefer Persona 5 over Zelda and Mario.

Thanks to trolls and haters that cant accept that Zelda or Mario are have best reviews games in years. For instance I remember that at begining Zelda BotW had plenty of 0 and 1 scores.

 Can’t stop the trolls. I remember seeing plenty of 0’s for TLoU, from people blatantly admitting they never played the game and are only giving it a 0 because they’re sure it doesn’t deserve high scores and they want to “balance things out”. Bleh...

cant think of any games atm that would top it, but I know who would be right up there alongside of them if it releases this year, Kingdom Hearts 3

my levels of hype is on the same level for it as it was with botw,mario

Metroid Prime 4 could be stellar both critically and according to the gamers at large, if done right. We can all hope! As for a 2018 release...time will tell.



I think Metroid Prime 4 has a high chance to disappoint. People are expecting it to be great based on name alone. The design team of the original Metroid Prime is long gone, the Switch is not capable of the highest fidelity graphics (and lets face it, the main attraction for Metroid Prime was it was one of the first really high fidelity games of its generation, MGS2, Gran Turismo 3, and FFX were the other three at the time).

Metroid Prime 3 showed that even the addition of story, WAY better controls, and more impressive boss battles was not enough. It’s a series with a formula that requires high end graphics to work.

What the Metroid franchise needs is something else, not the Prime formula, something to boost it to new levels in the way that Breath of the Wild did for Zelda. The re-invention of Zelda with Breath of the Wild has taken the franchise to new heights both critically and commercially. High-end graphics were not necessary, the games other strengths stood above all else without the need for them. I don’t think the Prime formula has the strength to take it to the next level - especially if Namco is doing it.

Unless Nintendo pulls the veil back and something WAY out of left field occurs with someone like Ken Levine at the helm.

 

Either way, it won’t top Breath of the Wild; that is virtually impossible for any FPS to ever do.

Breath of the Wild was such an experience that will be hard to beat. Although i believe have don't even know most games coming this year yet i doubt anything will be better

We'll have to see. Even if the Metascore isn't as high there may end up being something that I enjoy as much. However, I still need to play those two games!



Breath of the Wild is most likely going to be the top game of this generation. The next game that has the best shot at topping Breath of the Wild is the next Zelda game; any expectation of that hitting before 2020?

I can’t see Nintendo tying up multiple dev teams again for such a massive project until the next time they need a game of that magnitude; keep in mind they had 300 EPD members plus all of Monolith Soft Kyoto and around 60% of Monolith Soft Tokyo for a fair portion of development. I think the next Zelda will be something like Majora’s Mask, as far as having a larger hub town in the middle goes. It may have more characters and dialogue, but having a world that tells as much of a story as Breath of the Wild... unlikely.
