Overrated and underrated Nintendo classics

[ZeldaFreak]

Just because you prefer the way the Avance games play out doesn't mean the whole series should be canned, the original was great fun for those who didn't think of it as an Advance Wars game.

 

Batallion Wars became great fun later on in the game and was very challenging at points, the only problem with the game is that it was too short and there was too little content, with Online Play and probably at lot more missions going to be added to the sequel I think Batallion Wars will be a great success among hardcore Nintendo fans as long as it is released at the right time.

 

And what the hell is Master Wars?

 

Just think advance wars on the wii ported exactly with more missions and multiplayer.

 

And Batallion Wars the only problem I had was the gameplay itself should of been developed by Intelligent Systems instead of Zoe Mode (or as they were previously called Kuju Entertainment)

I found it quite boring...like most Mario platformers. I think Sonic, Kirby and Donkey Kong do a better job at 2D platform games.

 

kirby? WTF ill accept the rest but KIRBY!?.........KIRBY

oh i'm finished

You need to think of it less as Advance Wars on consoles and more as just its own game, then you can truly appreciate it.

 

I think Advance Wars will remain on handhelds and Batallion Wars will remain on the consoles, so a DS sequel will be much more likely instead.

Well surely we should change fire emblem games to the ones on the GBA then to Dynasty Warrior type games? No?

 

They could of concluded the franchise like advance wars but in 3d. Seen as it originally started on the NES. But yeh If I think of it as a sperate game, its not been balanced properly.

Actually I would think of Fire Emblem being an epic RPG instead if that were the case.

 

Well fine alright, I don't see this agreement going anywhere productive so we'll just agree to disagree, I like Batallion Wars and the fact that Nintendo tried to do something new while you would have preferred it if they sticked to the traditional Advance Wars formula, fair enough.

Over Rated - Burnout series, first Zelda game.

 

Under Rated - Majoras Mask, Baten Katios

 

Can't think of any others right now.

its not by Nintendo but GUN on the Cube is seriously underrated. One of the most fun GC games I've played for a while.

 

great stuff.

[mcj metroid]

mario strikers is underrated already. It's the best multiplayer game from nintendo in years:)

I think Excite Truck is overrated by people on this forum to a fucking ridiculous degree. I got bored of that game in under 2 days.

[Zell]

I think people had to justify the wii's poor graphics by saying it had good games. Seeing as the wii doesn't have any apart from Zelda, people have had to label average games as good games (Red Steel...).

That's why i said years:)

Well said. Red Steel is alright, and games like excitetruck and Korinpina (or whatever it's called) look fun, but to say they are good/great games is going too far. I should be getting my Wii next month, and I know the games i'm getting are going to be Manhunt 2, Resi4 and Strikers. Excitetruck looks fun, but no way am i paying full price for it.

[Fierce_LiNk]

Nobody's justifying anything. We were all pretty pissed that reviewers actually put the game down, and therefore put many off the game. We were all led to believe it was a bad game. A few of us picked it up, and so by word of mouth, people were able to see that "hey, it's not a bad game. Not bad at all. Infact, it's fucking excellent."

 

Excellent replay value. It's addictive. I don't know how many times I've clicked retry just to beat my score. I can't say when was the last time I did that in a racer. It's fast, it's fun, and it's pretty unique, as it's the first truely great Wii racer. It's been ignored by the masses, but there is a small following here of people who do love the game. I'm one of them.

 

Goron, have you got Excitetruck? If not, give a go. Seriously, you'll change your mind when you say "it looks good, but how can it be great?"

Hmm. Gamestation are selling it for £20, so you never know. Thing is, I can Resi for the price too (£22), but we'll see. Does look fun though.

20 quid is a steal, dude. Go for it. Seriously, there are very few on this forum who have regretted it. Do eeeet.

Underrated: Star Fox

 

Overated: Dare I Say, Twilight Princess....*Hides Behind Couch*

Super mario kart:

15 years later and i still can't control it.fzero>mario kart

 

 

Never a truer word has been spoken - I just don;t se the appeal of marioKart at all and I hate any ind of spin off game ala "Diddy Kong" etc.

 

F-Zero on Snes all the way!

 

As for Underrated games????

Can't really think of any - perhaps Red Steel - while not perfect - its way better than Gamespot reviewed it as.

[The Bard]

Ah yeah, that reminds me. I don't like the Mario Kart franchise as a whole. It's hideously overrated. The DS version is a good game though.

[mcj metroid]

But even the ds version could be so much more.

 

F-zero gx is better than any mario kart game peroid. So underated it should win this thread. But some bitches found it too hard... (no offence bitches:))

[Zell]

Yeah, f-zero gx was pretty much the perfect futuristic racer. No-one appreciates it mastery enough.
