Mine is Luigi's Mansion. After the revolutionary Mario 64 I had hyped myself up for the second coming. The mother of all games that would drop me to my knees. Something that would again set a new benchmark for 3D platformers, introduce an unfathomable co-op mode (how the fuck would that even work in 3D? Who cares, in Miyamoto I trust), and new innovations that would set my mind on fire every 20 seconds like Mario 64 did on release.
After years of Miyamoto teasing Mario 64-2, a disappointing N64 generation, and all the hype around Gamecube, my fucking god we got a shitty little fucking whatever the hell that was called Luigi's Mansion.
In hindsight it wasn't bad, maybe it was even good or great. But after Mario 64 and the pressure of being a launch game, fuck Luigi's Mansion. Fuck it to hell. I can never look at the LM franchise objectively now, it's shit on my shoe. It's probably brilliant, no, I'm sure it's brilliant. But context, man, context...if only it wasn't a launch game with all the baggage that came with it
