there is nothing wrong with sonic adventure 1 and 2. so the initial transition was fine they jsut fucked it up later.

Castlevania is the obvious choice here.

If you want to count them, Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic R came first and were in 3D, and were abysmal.

Castlevania and Contra are shoe ins for the worst examples. Earthworm Jim also. Some may disagree but I hate Mortal Kombat's 3D transition.

Nintendo does the most bang up job of transitioning 2D to 3D, but even then I prefer Mario, Zelda and Metroid as 2D games over 3D ones.

The two I consider doing the best changes were Metal Gear Solid and Grand Theft Auto, just because I truly felt they were better in 3D than 2D.

 

Sonic 3D Blast was a genesis title...and a pretty good genesis title at that. But it wasn't next gen or a big move from 2D to 3D...

Sonic R was a racing game...terrible racing game

I think Sonic's first true 3D game was Sonic adventure...but to each is own I guess.

i concur with your view about Metroid, as Super Metroid is one of the best games there are, and anybody who believes MP is a better game than Super Metroid are wrong.
But the point was transition, which would only take Metroid Prime into consideration ,And i believe that was a smooth transition

 

I agree from that from an overall success standpoint, the transition was smooth, I just don't like the 3D Metroids at all and I am filled with nothing but loathing for Hunters.  I'm frothing at the mouth just thinking about how much I hate that game.

I give that post a 9.6.



Thank god for the disable signatures option.

I thnik Nintendo did it the best.

To make the BEST 2-D franchises (Mario, Zelda, Metroid). Then transform them into the BEST 3-D franchise is no easy feat. I think games like MGS made the transition because the 2d ones weren't exactly great (IMO).

the 3D games being better than the 2D games doesn't need to be a requirement, plus how can you top games like Super Mario Bros. 3, Zelda: ALttP, and Super Metroid, But i'd say Metroid Prime, Mario 64/Galaxy, and Ocarina of Time did a wonderful job living up to those games since all 4 are in the top 10 highest rated games ever made.



Best : Metal Gear
Worst : Mega Man, Castlevania



Signature goes here!

Best: Mario, Metroid, Zelda

Worst: Castlevania, Pac-man, Megaman



Pixel Art can be fun.

Best: Mario
Worst: Uhh... Hmm... I really don't know. Pokémon, I guess, but that's because they never make any proper 3d-games of it.



The Best : Zelda, Mario

and I think Prince of persia isn't so bad I'm talkin about the sands of time transition.

The Worst : Castlevania, Mortal Kombat.



@Incandescence
yeah got a bit carried away with that statement
But its true, Super Metroid far surpasses any of the 3-d Metroids,and i can say that with considerable conviction. Contradict me if you feel like doing it
