The winner for me is a tie between SMG and SSBB. 1.- SSBB 2.- SMG

 Yes. I would have to say this. Too much going for both of them.

Do you guys remember early/mid 2007?

Everyone talking about the Big 3? Metroid, Galaxy and Brawl?

That's the origin of the term. Of course MKWii would make more sense, but it was never part of the big 3.
That's because those were the Big 3 of holiday 2007 ... until Brawl got delayed.  There is no reason to call those 3 the "Big 3" anymore.

Well, it's been a month since SSBB came out so I think it's time for this thread...

We all know the "Big 3" were very hyped and stuff, but which do you think is the best?

Which was the most influential? The most important?

I personally think Super Mario Galaxy wins almost every category, it's a brilliant game, with some of the best game design in years, and it proved that Mario can still be Game of the Year, and that Nintendo can still put out a AAAA game. It's also the first widely accepted "E" Game of the Year in 7 years! Truly innovative, and I think we'll still be talking about it 5 years from now. It's also IMO my favorite game ever. What Super Mario 64 and Sunshine should have been, SMG is the true evolution of 2D Mario.

As for Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I find it very good but, a month later, it's become horribly boring to me. My friends don't like the game, it gets boring fighting against CPUs and the online is unuseable pretty much.

And MP3...I never played it.

Definitely Super Mario Galaxy for the best of the 3 though, in pretty much everyway.

But what do you think? Which is your favorite? Which do you think is the most influential?


 Being we are in Nintendo Discussion, we must only be talking about games for the Wii (when I think big three, I think Mario, Halo, and FF).

Anyway, I am going to gripe at you for three things (and then go away :p).

1. How can you say a game is better or not better if you have never played it? MP3 might be the best game ever made, and you would not know it.

2. Metroid only has two titles with over 2 million in sales, and none over three million. Zelda has 8 games over three million, with two of them being over 6 million. If you are going to have a "big three" on nintendo, Zelda needs to be one of them :)

3. WTH is a AAAA game? 

OT. SMG was my favorite of the games you listed. :) 



AAAA is a term people use when they want to say a game rises above AAA because it is (or will be) a legendary game, one of the few that remain known to most all gamers of the genre even many years later when the "AAA" games are a distant memory. SMB, SMB3, SM64, TLoZ:OOT are among the most obvious.

At least, that's what I think.

No, they were the big AAA games that Nintendo was getting. For most of 2007, they were infact the only announced AAA games. Everyone was discussing them, which would sell the most, be the best etc.

So please, everyone, stop ranting about "OMG why isn't mario kart wii considered on the big 3 or ZELDA", they were never part of the big 3.

 



Top 3 favorite games: Super Mario Galaxy, The Sims 2 (PC), The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

I always thought that AAAA was like AA but with less achohol and twice as good. naw just kidding lol, I think Final-Fan has the right idea^^;

 Holy crap, SSBB was definitely the best game out of the "Big 3."

SMG came in close second, because it was definitely a great game...great fun, definitely great polish.

And Brawl's online system is a little shoddy, but it's not quite unplayable...I've had a bunch of online matches with friends as well as random people.  But Brawl was just an epic launch...we played that thing for over a day straight...pretty much non-stop, really.  And I still play the game nearly every day, and my friends love it...it has much more lasting appeal than the other two games since it's multiplayer.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Super Mario Galaxy. It was just amazing the first time through.

Super Smash is good but didnt add anything that made me fall head over heels for it. I see it more as a Melee V. 2.0

 What is wrong with Melee 2.0? There was almost nothing wrong with melee.



Since I haven't played any of that yet... Tetris FTW!
