I had no expectations for this direct given its the last Switch one, but wow, this was incredible.

Though that MP4 trailer is pretty yikes. Either that was terrible marketing or you gotta wonder if MP4 can even outsell Dread.

If Nier doesn't count, sub in Chrono Trigger.

If Nier doesn't count then, we'd need to replace DQ3 as well.

"Friday" is iconic for being bad, so it's Rushmore worthy, meant for us or not.

IDGAF about Captain & Tennille. I think it's just a mediocre song. But ask anyone who was a young adult in the 70s and they'll cringe at the thought of it. So to me it's Rushmore-worthy.

Oh I agree. I'm just saying I don't agree with kids songs being exempt, but making it fair game to go after pop for preteen/teen girls when we're mostly a bunch of 40 year old men. Baby Shark is pretty notorious for being extremely annoying.

Yeah I'm not voting for kids songs because those aren't made for us

Stuff like Baby and Friday aren't really "made for us" either. Friday's like a preteen pop by a 13 year old and Baby's a teen bop for teenage girls during Biebermania as well.

Friday definitely was not supposed to be bad but the girls that came after were trying to get that big Friday energy. I won't NOT count them but it seems silly to vote for anything but Friday from that series

Fine I'll change my votes:

Baby Shark
Friday - Rebecca Black
Blurred Lines - Robin Thicke, TI and Pharrell
Ebony and Ivory - Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder

Baby Shark
Friday - Rebecca Black
Chinese Food - Alison Gold
Thanksgiving - Nicole Westbrook

Though not sure about having 3 Patrice W ilson songs, since it almost feels ironic.

Yeah, I'll echo FFIX being a weird choice for this topic. FFVIII and FFX are better examples.

SS performed poorly even in its GotY poll on GameFAQs. Its reputation has probably gotten a bit worse over time, but not that much.

The game still got 93 on Metacritic, so it fit the "critical success" at launch criteria that's listed and the Switch rerelease that fixed a lot of issues still dropped to 80 so there was a clear critical re-evaluation. Compare that with other games like Xenoblade that launched with 92 and its rerelease only fell to 89.

Bioshock Infinite
Resident Evil 5
Goldeneye 007
TLOZ: Skyward Sword

I'm guessing the lack of votes for SS is because gamers turned on it so fast that we don't even consider it to be held in high regard to begin with?

And RE5 is the most striking example to me. In about 15 years IGN went giving RE5 a 9.3 to publishing this:

If Capcom were to make a faithful remake of RE5, it would be a complete shitshow in the review threads.

Yeah I would agree with TLOU2 counting but not TLOU1 for reasons Leon brought up.

I'd agree with FFVI counting, although it's definitely murkier with ensemble games with a massive cast and a main protagonist that's not centralizing.

There's also the grey area with games allowing a choice between fixed protagonists of differing gender like RE2. I imagine fully customizable protagonists like Skyrim probably wouldn't count though I see P3P often in lists of classic otome games.

These sales figures are hardly surprising. FF's a series for Millennials which is hardly a growth market and even within this group, FF's been more or less dead in Japan.

Let me tell you about a little system called the 3DS.
It's now also on Switch Online too, but that doesn't mean Gen Alpha will grow up loving OoT.

There must be a lot of old people voting for OoT for win. Doubt many Gen Z even know what the game is.

OoT is probably closer to Citizen Kane, at least in terms of topping GOAT polls and reception. I honestly feel like I've seen Super Metroid more than Metroid Prime in those context.

6 years is not counting the reboot. It's 8+ with that.

6 years is also what BotW took.

Sure, but that doesn't mean much, since we don't know Nintendo's internal projections for budgets and sales for those games and whether MP4 went through further development issues.

Would Nintendo spend 6 years making a new FE with a massive budget? That's what MP4 is.

I highly doubt Nintendo planned for MP4 to go through the development hell that it did. I mean Skull and Bones is supposedly a "AAAA" game that took a decade of development but yet I don't know if Ubisoft is internally projecting it to be going to be one of the most successful games ever made.

You could basically make all of the arguments youre making against Metroid against Zelda before the Switch. The key difference being that Metroid just had its best selling game ever! I think for a Metroid game Prime 4 will be huge. It would also benefit a lot from being an early or launch Switch 2 game.

Metroid's always been much more niche than pre-BotW Zelda. OoT and TP were both around the 8 million mark, which is significantly better than anything Metroid's done. Metroid Dread did as well as it did because it took advantage of the massive Switch install base but even then it wasn't able to outsell something like FE3H and nobody would think Nintendo would pull a BotW style launch with FE.
