#31 - This run and gun platformer has one of the most brilliant opening stages of all time.
#30 - Of all the things this character has been the "hero of" over the years, this is undeniably the lamest one.
#29 - A remake of one of Nintendo's oldest classics, which had indeed aged horribly.
#28 - "Yeah, right, ____. You always right. That's my homie, Mr. Right."

#30 - wind waker - hero of the winds

#29 donkey kong 94

...both wrong actually, #29's been guessed already.

About #30, that's the second time people went for The Wind Waker. I honestly fail to see how being the "hero of the winds" is lame, I mean sure it's not the best, but you're still the hero of an element of nature and stuff... (and no Peelman, it isn't Twilight Princess either, because that Link is actually called Hero Chosen by the Gods, which is arguably pretty alright). (...) oh well, I'll just go and say it's a handheld game. It can't get much easier than that.

#31 extra hint: this opening stage ends with a scripted sequence where you're defeated by the boss and are eventually saved from death by a certain friend.
#28 extra hint: the name I omitted on the quote is "Carl".
#27: this is the only game in this long-running franchise to be released on 3 consecutive home consoles from different generations.

yea, I don't get why Wind Waker. Anyways.

#30. The Legend of Zelda Spirit Tracks.

#31. Megaman X (had to edit the number, oops lol)

#27. Resident Evil 4?



Entropio said:
#29: This game developers planned to create an evil version of a famous female character.

Nobody? Ok, 2nd hint:

29. 2nd: They created an evil version of a famous male character, brother of another famous male character that already had an evil version.

And...

#28: This RPG was created by the same developers than #29, who had created another RPG franchise for a different console manufacturer.

Yes.



30 – Caesar III


I’ve already talked about Sierra’s City Building Series in my #34 entry, Pharaoh. Caesar, set in Rome (I’m going to be pedantic: although the game is set in the Roman Empire, and you have to communicate with the Emperor and fulfill his orders, chronologically the game takes place during the Roman Republic; of course I couldn’t care less, the game was incredible) was the first title in the series, and Caesar III, obviously, its third sequel.

Although it might be a similar game than Pharaoh, Caesar III is some above it in the list because of some (pretty subjective) factors:

  1. I’ve always preferred Roman over Egyptian setting (See my note about Roman Empire-Republic, if something like that happened in Pharaoh I would have never noticed).

  2. You have to manage the favor of the Roman Emperor. If it falls very low the emperor will attack your city, and probably destroy it. Intentionally lowering the favor while preparing for the civil war was one of my favorite activities in the game, and I was actually able to defeat him some times (then he would attack again with a bigger army unless you regain his favor).

  3. The Mediolanum level, where you have to fight against Hannibal, and his elephants, several times, was awesome and epic (although, once again, historically inaccurate).

Actually it is neither. Hero of Twilight is a fan invention and Hero Chosen by the Gods is just a sentence spoken by one of the spirits taken out of context; the spirit just says Link's a hero that is chosen by the gods, note the lack of capitals, it's in the cutscene (and goddesses actually, the spirits can't even get that part right). Besides, aren't all Links heroes that are chosen by the gods? The Wind Waker's Hero of Winds-title for Link is also debatable if you asked me, because the way it's said in-game feels more like a little side-joke than a serious grant by the King of Red Lions. And speaking of Heroes, what is he supposed to be called in Spirit Tracks according to you then, because I don't recall a mention of a Hero of Trains, Spirits or Tracks or whatever in the game. Talk about hints that are false...

Anyway nerd-mode off.

The world's best dinosaur embarks on a journey that is out of this world

#31
Get ready, bring a friend along for the ride
Going around and around, dodging flying items and traps set along the way
Though you may be in the lead, be wary!
Feel a chill run down your spine?

#32
Our hero goes on a epic journey,
one we have seen too many times, in fact..
But this time, rather than being grounded to realism,
our scope is expanded beyond the horizons

I don't know, wild guesses because they don't seem to 100% fit, or maybe they do, and coincidentally all Nintendo games but; Yoshi's Island, Mario Kart Double Dash and Mario Galaxy?
