Do You Have Any Unpopular Gaming Opinions?

[strangenova]

While I would agree that the number of games that I like on the system is far smaller than any other major console, I still like it a good amount. Now I'm curious what your faves are.

Ocarina of time, mario kart, Diddy kong racing, paper mario and super smash bros...with an honorable shout out to kirby 64

That's a good list.

I agree these are good games (haven't played Kirby 64, and I don't care for Paper Mario) but I'd argue they have since better sequels or remakes that makes these obsolete.

yep! Which is why I just don't care for the console anymore. I like those games and they've been redone in a better form elsewhere

Ocarina of Time is the only one that's been remade, and sequels are supposed to be better. They're often not, but a sequel is supposed to take what made the original good and make it better, and Nintendo usually does a very good job of that. That a remake or sequel is better is definitely not a mark against an original.

It depends for sequels. If Ocarina didnt have a remake, it is a definitively unique game in its own right. But for games likes Mario Kart and Smash, there really isn't much incentive to play these anymore with the newer releases.

I would say you're wrong about Mario Kart actually. I still feel the N64 release is the pinnacle of the series, though it's an excellent series over all. But you're right on about Smash.

There's a lot I like about the original Smash, though. I like that the pace is a little less frenetic. I know folks loved the spaz-fest that was Melee, but it took me quite a while to adjust to the speed of that game.

Also, Melee nerfed the heck out of Kirby. Boo.

The original is my favorite of the series.

I think, at the time, it was the place for kart racers, it played host to two excellent Zelda games, had Mario 64 and its Rare imitations, and Goldeneye / Perfect Dark. Oh, and Paper Mario! Those made it worthwhile, in my mind.

Plus, delve down just a bit more, and there's a good Ogre Battle game, weird stuff like Hybrid Heaven, Blast Corps, so yeah, I think my number on that is probably a bit higher than yours... but it's still not very large. Probably 20-ish.

I will say that I LOVED Perfect Dark when it came out, and still have fond memories of it. Not sure if the control scheme/graphics hold up today though. That is one of my beefs with the N64 is it feels like the graphics just don't hold up today while I could happily play a 16 bit console or the original Playstation. Dunno, probably that muddy look of some N64 games.

Also loved/have fond memories of Pokemon Snap, so I suppose there are a few games I could revisit.
