I think I am of an opinion shared my many around here: We should have stopped with SNES... or at least of taken things a bit slower. Until we switched to 3d, 2d games were gradually getting better with each the designers of each year's games building off of the experience of everything previous.

This was all lost when we switched to 3d. When we first moved on to Nintendo 64 and other comparable systems, things were rough but we expected the systems to hang around for a while so that the designers could refine things and find the optimum. It didn't work that way. Every other year they come out with a new system and a whole new way of making games needs to be developed. And right when things start to have a hope of getting good again, the cycle starts all over.

I am one of those people that want to scream at the heavens 'Leave the damn thing alone already!'

I hate to disagree, but the last system run through wasn't so bad. There were an insane amount of good games made during this recent period. I think the art of 3d has been quite mastered by now, and if you want 2d the GBA has more than enough to keep you satisfied. Personally I do prefer 2d, but 3d is here to stay, and its getting better and better.

But I've made my support of the GBA clear already anyways, right? :thumbsup:

Ah, okay. Hm... are there any good rpgs for the Gamecube, besides of Tales of Symphonia? My CG collection consists of the two Legend of Zeldas, the two Metroids, Mario Sunshine, and ToS.
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.

Sonic Gems is another collection of old Sonic games. It has most of the Game Gear Sonic games, a platformer called Vectorman and Sonic CD, Sonic Fighters and Sonic R.

RPGs?

Megaman X: Command Mission.
Lord of the Ring: The Third Age (all three systems).

Also, get Eternal Darkness. NOW, mortal!

I never got to play this one. How different is it from the original?

... aside from the VMU mini-game being gone. *sniffle*

As far as I could tell it was the same game with a little extra stuff added...

Lord of the Rings: The Third Age is essentially a ripoff of the Lord of the Rings plot (You're not the Fellowship but you stalk them through everything important!) using the Final Fantasy X combat system, ripped in its entirety, and employing the basic "learn new skills by using your current skills" system.

If you like fusions of different ripoffs, Third Age is for you. >.>

And yes, I too throw my support behind Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door.

If you're looking for a good GCN game, I would suggest Geist. It's not an RPG, but it is a very fun poltergeist game with a pretty good plot.

Hey, if it ain't broke...

At least now people can play it on a system that you can actually go to a store and buy... *misses the Dreamcast*

I do have Command Mission for the PS2 ('though I wish I had it for the CG... that doesn't take a jumpstart CD for the memory card). Skies of Arcadia? I think I've heard of that one before... did one of the predecessors for that game have a chick wearing a pair of pants with only one pant leg?

And I still haven't seen any of the Lord of the Rings movies yet...

Actually I don't think less good games are being made in each console generation, I think roughly the same number of good games are being made each console generation.

There are 2 problems:
1: We want to assume they are made by the people that made the good games last time around, this is usually not the case.
2: There are a LOT MORE GAMES being made, and most of them are crap.

Yes, well. I liked TTA, and that's all I care about.

... At least, until the ending. But it was fun.

From Russia With Love is a good adventure game.

Also, Viewtiful Joe is just OLD SCHOOL. And there is no school like the old school.

Alright, I think that beefed up my list quite nicely... by the way, does anyone know when the FF IV Advance is coming out? I found this big ass ad from Electronics Boutique, but I'm not sure if some of the release dates in here are valid...
