Best Gaming Title Screen

Fantastical

I wanted to post Xenoblade, but a bunch of people already did.

I really like the simplicity of Mario Kart 8's title screen.

Yep, really love this one. Looks very nice.

Hard to think of the best. Before I knew anything about Guilty Gear I saw this in an arcade and thought "I wonder what sort of this game this is?"

Best thing about the Mario Kart 8 title screen is that smooth ass bass lick of course.
 
It seems there's probably a tendency for devs to want to avoid putting one of the best tracks on the title screen, because they would rather it be associated with the gameplay. But really, it can set the mood for the entire game, as can be seen in Kingdom Hearts, Ocarina of Time, Civ 4 etc.

In general, I think people/devs severely underestimate how music affects the way they perceive the game since it's not something that can be directly seen. Your mood as affected by music can completely change how receptive you are to a game.

It's embarrassing to admit how much I love this title screen. I never thought I'd choose a Persona game as my favorite title screen.
The moment I bought my first piano, I sat down and learned this track.

I prefer the portable screen, seeing FeMC and MC phase through the moon makes me feel nostalgic as hell.

Damn, how could I forget Persona 4's! Both the PS2 and Vita versions have really fantastic title screens. Probably the best.

Surprised to see no mention of Red Dead Redemption's.

The MOH Frontline one gets me every time. With the sound fx that it is. Funnily enough, I can't post the image as a word in the link had come up as a swear..

I've always been partial to Secret of Mana's title screen. As with many of the others posted here, the music has a lot to do with it. Actually, I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned it in this thread yet.

Also, I Agree completely with Super Mario Bros. 3.
