This console generation as a whole is lacking in quality games, especially when compared to the generations of the past.

People who criticize Sony need to realize they basically have no true competition. Sony simply isn't pressed to bring out titles like they were last gen. Sony would rather watch their console sell right now considering where the PS3 left them.

Nintendo's home console business is minimal at best and Microsoft will be playing catch up for many, many years.

If true, it's a godsend for any fan of Nintendo in terms of hardware. It would need to win over everybody else though.

Either way though, I remember something called Project Cafe and in the weeks leading up to it's launch there were numerous leaks (I'm sure Chaz remembers) about that console and quite a few of those leaks were spot on.

Still though, I'll believe it when I see it..

VI > VII > IV > V > X > XIV > IX > III > I > XIII > II

The one's not listed are just so 'meh' that I haven't cared to finish them...

I've got the copy that comes with the wolf Link amiibo on preorder. Really excited to play through this one again.

Well, last year Rare seemed to be trying to get back on track...

...then they do shit like this.

If true then that's a pretty decent attachment rate for MS.

Exactly.

The 3DS is practically JRPG king right now. If you like JRPG's, the 3DS is essential and you'd be stupid not to own one.

However, people have mentioned Advance Wars but I honestly don't miss those games. Especially with the way Fire Emblem and Pokemon are doing on the 3DS. I'd argue that Fire Emblem and Pokemon have, quite frankly, never been better... and this is without even mentioning that OoT, MM, and ALBW can all be played on the system.

The 3DS definitely stumbled and fell out of the gate. The mistakes tarnished the handheld and admittedly, the initial launch model of the 3DS was incredibly lacking. But that was years ago and 2016 looks to be a killer year for the handheld.

I wanted to add this in though.. The lack of a great Castlevania, (proper) Metroid, or Mega Man game will never settle well with me.

I really, REALLY like the newest one..

It came out the same day as Fallout 4. That's what ultimately killed the sales of Tomb Raider.

Not saying the Xbox exclusivity didn't hurt it.. yeah, it did. However, I don't think that killed it as bad as some people in this thread are making it out to be.
