I'm not surprised if Rayman is better than Mario. And by that I mean, this Mario and the New Super Mario Bros series. It looks fucking amazing. I really don't like the new style of the Mario side scrolling games, I really wish they'd try some art like Rayman for their next 2D game. (which obvious won't happen with the WiiU Mario game)

Nice to see Rayman is back! Can't wait to grab it on the Wii!

Cool. I've been more hyped for Rayman Origins that Super Mario 3D Land for a while now. Rayman is exactly what I've been begging for from platformers for years, while Mario looks like another thematic retread in the redundant footsteps of NSMB DS/Wii, only even further dumbed down for the sake of "accessibility".

1. Melee
2. There were other games on Gamecube?

It's not a niche title when everybody who's heard of it realizes that it sucks.hyduK said:

Only thing questionable about Four Swords being on there is the fact that it's not in the top 5.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Welp, I guess I'll be the first to say I agree with their list. I might not have it in that exact order; but it seems a pretty solid list nonetheless. I'd put Phantasy Star Online in there somewhere; but otherwise, it gets my support.
Wtf at Billy Hatcher, someone in the staff must have really loved that game. I think RE 4 deserves the #1 spot, with Metroid Prime right next to it.
No pikmin 2 is also a crime, but damn the list does remind me that the gamecube had some excellent games, maybe even a better lineup than the Wii.

I'm sure Nintendo is trying to forget Eternal Darkness ever existed. It doesn't fit well into their blue ocean strategy.

I have a LOT of trouble believing this to be true.24FrameDaVinci said:
edit: also that list.... Billy hatcher was SHIT. Pikmin 1 deserves it over Pikmin 2 just for the originality aspect. Pikmin 2 was the longer better game though.

I think the real crime is the complete omission of Super Monkey Ball on that list. There's a zen to that game that reminds me of my favorite old school arcade games.

Billy Hatcher? WTF is wrong with people? Billy Hatcher was crap.
Why? Not only does the a lot of what we've seen of Rayman Origins seem to be heck of a more creative than anything in 3D Land so far (Tetris stuff, for example), Rayman also seems to have super-fun coop gameplay. And the pace in Rayman Origins seems to be a heck of a lot faster, at least when people who know what they are doing are playing it.catfish said:
Uhh, what kind of stupid logic is this? Of course the better game ALWAYS deserves to be higher up on a Top list. Originality doesn't top quality, come on.
. I would have bought it if it was on PC and had online coop.ThatObviousUser

I remember looking at the images being released over the past year or however long it's been in development and feeling like I'm the only one who didn't think they look horrible.

Wow, sooo great that Rayman is on top of his game again.
Here is a game that shows what can be done if great artists are givin the freedom to do something they think is fun. The joy is radiating from the screens.

I am liking what I'm reading in that Rayman review a lot. So hyped for it and its fantastic artstyle. I can't wait to see it for myself on my TV (and also Vita next year).ItWasMeantToBe19 said:
As for that GameCube list... Baten Kaitos Origins, Eternal Darkness and Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance seem to be missing. :/
I met with Michel Ancel years ago when he presented Rayman for the 1st time at a fair in Paris. I was amazed, the art style was unique. At the time the game was planned for a Jaguar release and it is one of the reasons I bought the console (the other one being Alien vs Predator). In the end the game released on Playstation first and I got it on this platform. Good memories.

How do you figure? There are very few things shown the the trailers that hasn't been done in a Mario game before. Which isn't too surprising. Mario has covered a lot of ground is some 20+ years. The thing I find funny is, you'd call Rayman creative for putting its own stank on classic platforming tropes while 3d Land is not creative for doing the same.
Rayman Origins seems like a game of its own, whereas SM3D Land doesn't really seem to be offering much that hasn't been seen in 2d or 3d Marios before. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about 3D Land and I'm sure it's an excellent game, but much like New Super Marios in the past, everything kind of feels too safe.Dr.Hadji said:
Rayman Origins with its crazy humor and clever surprises just seems something that I'll be playing with a constant smile on my face. Of course final judgement will have to wait until I've played both games, but at this point I'm willing to bet I'll have more fun with Origins.
Many of 3D Land's levels seems like they are straight from Super Mario Bros 3., but with a kind of Little Big Planet like depth added to 2d levels (though, not with the kind of "planes" LBP has that you need to switch between), others look like something you could expect from those FLUDDless Super Mario Sunshine levels with some tools from Galaxy added into them. Nothing wrong with them per se but, again, Rayman looks to have a more distinct style, which 3D Land lacks.
