The Persona team makes the best menus. See Catherine.





Edit: Helps to see it in motion and hear the great music that slowly kicks in.

God Catherine's title screen was great. Really makes you understand the personal hell Vince was in

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Yes.

Persona 4

Kingdom Hearts

Xenoblade

The holy trinity.

To contribute, here's some that I really like.


The Absolute King of all title screens. = THE WIND IS PUSHING MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Final Fantasy XIII Title Screen

Final Fantasy XIII-2 Title Screen

Both give me that hard to describe magical feeling.

I think the litmus test for a good title screen is whether or not you pause to watch/listen to it every time you start up the game.

I really like the Persona 4 title screen. It gives me a good feeling (accompanied by the music).

I was going to post this one too.

 

[-duskdoll-]

Dearly Beloved really made it work though

I would leave the menu screen open for hours just so i could hear the music.

 

[Durden77]

The only thing I don't like about Metroid Prime Trilogy is that this thing isn't in there.

Yeah that bummed me out.

https://youtu.be/TFBUtNrw6xM

It was the hypest shit ever.

Also, Super Mario Bros. 3.

It doesn't even have a title tho. No fair.

Aw man I forgot this one, the Dark Arisen one sucks because I can no longer feel the wind pushing me when I play the game.

 

[BLOODED_hands]

Alot of good choices but this is my fave just for nostalgia sake.

Dearly Beloved really made it work though

You are also right that Dearly Beloved carries it tho.

Others I enjoy are often the title screens that transitions straight into gameplay. I think God of War does this often right?

 

[sikkinixx]

When the sword slides into the Z. Magic.

 

[JaseMath]

First time I saw this I was like, now this is the god damned Batman.

 

[ScaryMonsters]

The screen itself isn't cool so much as the intro (which name drops the title itself) is. That said, the title card drop syncing with the music fading out is dope as fuck.

It's the freakin best!

Also just remembered:

 

[mcz117chief]

Also, the first title screen to win Grammy award

 

[batfax]

 

[onepiecefan]

MGS 2,3 & 4 had great title screens, even V and GZ are pretty cool. TLOUs title screen was also excellent.

 

[Levyne]

I was gonna post the Final Fantasy X-2 title screen, but it is actually quite ugly, now that I look at it again.

It does, however, have some fantastic music.

[epmode]

A recent one that I really like is Super Mario Maker. The UI isn't great but it gets 129536892439826 bonus points for being playable:

[Dremorak]

Xenoblade

Any Question. The answer is always Xenoblade

 

[Pro]

With the Title Theme

And the changing Day/Night cycle. Yeah.

 

[Ishida]

All the previous answers are a joke in comparison to the best title screen of all time.

Chrono Cross.

[StayDead]

Let's you play a level in the background and there's easter eggs.

 

[01DragonFly]

Ocarina Of Time.

Xenoblade

I really like all of them.

 

[Sub_Level]

Came in to post MGS2 but OP already did.

Hats off to the Sierra version of Half-Life.

 

[SquirrelWide]

Seconding the nod for Catherine.

[GravityInsanity]

 

[Einchy]

Halo Reach

 

[BiggNife]

MGS4's title screen (along with the music) is maybe the best part of the entire game, and that's coming from someone who mostly liked MGS4.

GOAT Title Screen


YOU DIDN'T POST THE SUPERIOR VERSION

 

[Dimmle]

done

 

[TheLastCandle]

Xenoblade or Metroid Prime are definitely my top 2.

Edit: And Phantasy Star Online.

 

[Mupod]

Red Alert 2 is the first time I ever felt like Millhouse playing Bonestorm. Can't find an animation of the actual menu that isn't running at like 4 FPS but who cares, that fucking theme:

https://youtu.be/nqZ4ZonQb9U

It's free on Origin right now, too.

 

[Beelzebufo]

First two that came to mind were the Wind Waker and Rayman Legends.

 

[naitosan]

Gears of War (X360)

[Fjordson]

The World of Warcraft one

 

[Psymatiq]

Best game ever

 

[GRIMREEFZ]

SUPER MARIO MAKER. IT CAN BE WHATEVER YOU WANT

 

[Auctopus]

OP and first post are excellent choices.

 

[Einchy]

WoW: Cataclysm

Not the best xpack but it's my favorite login they've done.

 

[Broken Joystick]

I CAN HEAR THE MUSIC JUST LOOKING
