| MTZehvor said: I'd put both 2002 and 2007 above it. 2007 gets plenty of attention as is, but 2002 was a fantastic year as well. A Zelda that I would still consider better than BotW in Wind Waker, Metroid Prime (which I would consider to be superior to SMO based on what I've played of the latter so far), Metroid Fusion, Mario Sunshine, and Ruby/Sapphire. I think I could go either way on whether 2013 is better than 2017 as well: FE: Awakening, ALBW, Pikmin 3, and Dual Destinies + Wonderful 101 if we're allowed to count third party exclusives. |
Wind Waker is my least favorite mainline Zelda (yes I even liked Skyward sword better), SMS is my least favorite 3D Mario (M64, SMG1, SMG2 were better). But yes, Metriod prime was f-ing the shit. That game was mindblowing for its time.
The but the key difference is back then Nintendo was still making games for gamers. 2 of the 3 (between Metriod, Zelda, and Mario) were considered letdowns at the time. Where as in 2017 no one was expecting much from Nintendo... and then turned around and delivered what I think to be 2 of the top 10 games of all time.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
