This year I've resolved to not buy any new games so I can complete that pesky backlog of mine. Since this year I'll hopefully finish all the older games from gen 3-7 that I haven't gotten around to complete, I may as well find out what people love in case I missed a few gems.
So I was wondering what your favourite game(s) from gen 3-7 is.
Mine is Xenoblade Chronicles for the Wii since every aspect of it catered to what I personally love in a game (beautiful environments, non-linear gameplay, epic story telling, amazing combat, brilliant OST, ridiculous amount of content, and that special nintendo polish)
My top 5 are:
1. Xenoblade Chronicles
2. Ocarina of Time
3. Super Mario 64
4. Metroid Prime
5. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (specifically for the Chao garden genetics component)
What are your top 5?
Games can and should tell stories and share ideas through their mechanics. This is the intrinsic element of the medium and this is how experiences should be crafted in video games. No company does this as well as Nintendo and their echoes from the past.
