That's right. It's that time again. So let's hear your pathetic opinions
First let me start off by saying I prefer playing
one or two games that completely amazes me, rather than playing 5 or 6 games that I get enjoyment out and I consider Good to Excellent. Which is probably why after playing Metroid and Mario Sunshine, I like my GC better than my PS2.
1)
Nintendo (EA or woteva they are) :- I've always been a Nintendo fan. I just prefer Mario/Zelda games over most others. They seem to fill the void with my gaming. Especially nowadays (or so I'm hoping with Zelda). But Mario Sunshine was a great start!
2)
Squaresoft:- FF/Chrono Trigger series/The bouncer!! (j/k) I love Rpg's and the best developer for Rpg's is Squaresoft (IMO)
3)
SNK:- I love SNK fighting games........especially KOF. I've been playing games like KOF and Samuri Showdown for ages.
4)
Capcom:- I don't like the Capcom adventure/action type games (e.g. Onimusha, DMC) but I do like their fighting games. So they get my number 4
5)
Retro Studios:- Maybe it's a bit too soon to put them on my list, but Metroid has done what Nintendo normally does. Fill the void with empty gaming. So just from one game (yes one game), they nab the final spot.
Developers that missed the list
*Silicon Knights - They have only one game (ED) but it was very different, and I loved the way the story was mixed with the gameplay. A unique gaming experience, but I still wanna see what their follow up games are gonna be like
*Konami - I loved MGS, but was disappointed with MGS2. I know it's hard to make sequels when you have to improve on the previous games, but MGS2 was one of those sequels that didn't win me over
*Rare - No games have been recently made by Rare (Except for SFA) which I didn't like very much. Still waiting for a new Perfect Dark type game for Xbox, and hopefully Killer Instinct!
*Namco - There's been many great games for Namco, Tekken 4, SC2, Xenosaga (which i'm yet to play so I dunno if it's great). But Tekken 4 and SC2 haven't really interested me much on the arcades. I've played both (especially T4). I'll probably get the GC version of SC2 due to Link.
* Camelot - Where the hell is Mario Tennis for GC?!?!? I loved the N64 version, and think that it plays much better (and more accurately) than the Virtua Tennis game).
