So there are no great retro games, just naustalgic fans that believe games like Xenoblade, Mario Galaxy, Suikoden II, Final Fantasy VI and VII, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, Tales Of Symphonia, ect are great in terms of quality on the platform they were created for?

I have never disagreed more with anyone on this forum ever. 

This could be.... Wait for it... The GREATEST DISAGREEMENT IN GAME FORUM HISTORY!

read carefully my friend, there is no greatest Game ever that stand in the test of Time, there will be another game that will surpassed every great game in the future that's the rule of thumb of live. The past will just another past and it will be surpassed by a new one.

being surpassed has nothing to do to standing the test of time. games like zelda a link to the past, chrono trigger, tales of symphonia, xenoblade chronicles, mario galaxy... were amazing when they release, are amazing now and will keep that way forever. THAT is standing the test of time.


It's way too early to say Xenoblade Chronicle will stand the test of time.

For one, the controls were clunky, even when it came out. They're not going to get better over time. On the contrary. The other games you mentioned use sprites that can always be appreciated because they're basically drawings/cartoons with controls that are just as good now as they were back then. Xenoblade's graphics are already outdated, and controls, as I said, are just as clunky as they were back then.

You're way too quick to include Xenoblade. But that's expected from you.
