Woohoo, official off-topic thread!

Pokemon got stale for me after Gold/Silver, personally. I still buy and play the new ones, but they just don't have the same feel that the old ones did to me.

I can't comment on Star Fox, having never played them, though I'm sure GK will go off on that 😛

Star Fox 64 was far and away among the absolute elite of the N64's games, surpassed only by Ocarina of Time.

Badass.

Star Fox not very good? You poor dumb boy.

Star Fox 64 is the pinnacle of the N64 era, second only to Ocarina of Time itself. Great gameplay, excellent graphics for the time, the first use of force feedback (rumble) in a console game, inspired music, some of the best voice acting in a game of that era, snappy writing telling a light but entertaining story, and homages galore both to the first game of the series and many, many other sources.

SF64 reached a level of perfection that most games of today still fail to achieve, (sadly, this includes its own sequels) and to call yourself a fan of Nintendo while missing out on this game is a travesty. Moreso since it's now easily obtained on the Wii shop.

Peppy! Long time no see!

Actually when I heard said it isn't very good I meant the newer ones. A typo on my part.

I haven't heard many people exactly praise the original though.

Don't even go there about missing the game. I wanted a ****ing 64, but I got screwed. That shit makes me rage.

The original on the SNES is great too, but it's one of those games that defined Nintendo Hard. SF64 is better because it's 60% of the original game and 20% of the scrapped second game, made better with better music, characters, voice acting, tighter controls, and entirely new content on top of all that.

And again. Get it on the Wii. Or buy a 64 and the game cheap on eBay.

Is Shawn Roberts that actor who played Ice Man in X-Men?

True, Mario (and not just his spinoffs) is doing better but Zelda lost its magic it once had. Yes, Wind Waker is great but I don't need cel shaded Link to take over the series. And Tingle needs to die. Good thing he was absent in TP.

Brawl may be good but it turns into lag hell online. Kirby lives on in the DS since he's better off there.

As for Pokemon, I'm surprised it lasted this long. It will never be as good as G/S (and thats why both had remakes). Nintendo should stick with Golden Sun and try to get a real Final Fantasy game again and not just remakes.

They need Star Fox back to its roots and more third party. And less easy games.

Of course, I'm not saying Wii is a failure.

I prefer Zelda to Mario a billion times over. 3D Mario games just are not as good as the old 2D sidescrollers, in my opinion.

I'll go it alone from here.

Hey fox get these guys off of me

Also on the subject of L4D and Nintnedo did you know that the voice actor for Zoey, (Jen Taylor I think her name is) is also the voice of Princess Peach in the Mario series and in another console platform, Cortana from Halo.

Kratos has a buddy.

Technicly Drax hasa buddy, since he's been around since the 70's.
