    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3

    Still not the best Tony Hawk game, but oh man, what a game.

    Super Mario Sunshine

    Super Mario 64 has better game design and is possibly the greatest game ever made, but Sunshine holds a special place in my heart.

    Resident Evil 4

    I've finished NieR recently and enjoyed it. However, while I acknowledge that I have been unfair to the game in the past, I still think the hype is way over the top. That game could have used a lot of trimming. RE4 is near perfect, even if the shooting feels dated now.

    i can't say why, because i truly don't know, but Goldeneye wasn't really a part of my childhood. it's peculiar. i practically lived at my best friend's house, who had an N64 and a Bond-obsessed older brother we idolized, but i just don't remember really playing it. THPS3 is maybe my favorite THPS. i'm gonna play some today.

    Mario Sunshine is a very good, very cool game. it is a product of maybe the most interesting era of Nintendo when they were innovating on their own formulas a few years before people were calling on them to. i love Sunshine. but Mario 64 is an accomplishment on nearly every level, is still fun, and i think Mario has a perfect verb set in that game. the back half gets to be a slog but i will never tire of getting the first 50 stars or so.

    never played either :(

    i'm playing SotN for the first time right now. it's aged like the finest wine. inventory is a mess, but everything else is fucking perfect. the Relic system was so ahead of it's time, functioning like a cheat code menu of sorts, it is a densely packed map loaded with things to find and i am now gonna play every good Castlevania available. i went into Halo 3 in the last post. fond memories but didn't stick with me.

    THPS3
    Mario Sunshine
    NieR Automata
    Castlevania

    Mario Sunshine was so much fun and such a wild change and risk after 64. Love it so much


    NieR is just an all around incredible game, one I think about often still and plan to replay again soon. RE4 doesn’t hold up as much as I wish it did. Went to replay it this year and had a hard time getting into it again

    Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (57) - Probably my favorite of the original 4 THPS games. I spent so much time with this one.

    Super Mario 64 (89) - I love Sunshine a lot but I gotta go with the classic on this one.

    NieR: Automata (73) - In a battle of games I’ve never finished, I’m going with the one that does more unique and interesting things.

    Castlevania:Symphony of the Night (24) - Halo can’t compete with the reason why there’s a “-vania” in the word “Metroidvania.”

    also Bloodstained, of course

    Having recently watched Giant Bomb's Steal my Sunshine feature, there is a looot of bullshit in Super Mario Sunshine. Even still, it has an atmosphere that no other mario game has and I think that puts it above 64 for me.

    Interesting matchups in this one. I don’t love Mario 64 as much as most people, I think probably because I didn’t play it around it’s release and every 3D Mario after it has felt better to me.

    RE4 is still the best game of all time, so
