What's the most impressive Nintendo game? Not the best game or the most fun game, but the one with the most execution and polish and skill, something that shows off the full powers of Nintendo as a studio
>>12555778The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time/thread
>>12555778Mentioning Zelda is cheating so i'll say Kirby Air Ride, it basically perfected kart racing.
>>12555780There are more technically impressive games on the system. A better case could be made for Link's Awakening on the original Game Boy.
>>12555792Pokemon had more screens and items especially if you count each pokemon as an item and they all have unique ids. Far more impressive than Links Awakening
>>12555781kart racing had peaked and died by the time air ride came out.
>>12555801that's just like, your opinion man!
>>12555778The original Super Mario Bros.
>>12555778>Nintendo as a studiomario kart series>>12555781>kirbyNot developed by Nintendo>>12555797>pokemonAlso not developed by Nintendo
>>12555778Pilot Wings 64 is incredibly impressive because PC games at the times focused on the simulation and sacrificed graphics to have longer view distances such as Apache Longbow. PW64 was dense with the amount of detail it had.It was outsourced but sold as a Nintendo game anyway.
sm3, smw, or mario 64 are all good picks
Say what you wanna say - it's tiring, reddit-tier, sꚛyshit, lame take, etc.This, alongside crash 1, was genuinely revolutionary and sold 3D games as the way forwardBefore that, you had sort-of pseudo 3D like wolfenstein, doom, UU, arena, etc.The best case for 3D was system shock, which still is a bedrock of a game, still nowhere near as "3D" as crash and sm64It's like Newton and Leibniz independently developing calculus
>>12556420Was there really no 3D game close to this level they could look at when they were developing this stuff?
>>12556439Best i can think is Descent, but it had that "dungeon crawler" feelIt was a hard sell for the crowd, specially when it controlled like a pig back in the day and looked like this
>>12555780fpbp
>>12555778If we’re talking NES
>>12555778Yoshi's Island even though it's boring>>12555780Just because it's your favorite game and it caused arrested development, doesn't mean it's the best at everything. No game running at 20fps should be considered as the most impressive Nintendo title in technical terms.
>>12556480One of the best games ever. Great AI, great graphics, nice levels, nice bosses, nice weapons, it had it all. Not an easy game by any means and fuck those Gatling piggies.
