What's the black sheep of one of your favorite franchises? You know, that entry that everyone either acknowledges is the weakest, most hated, most annoying, or is casually ignored or pretended it doesn't exist?Pic related.
If only it had more content. . .
I've seen some people play devil's advocate for the weaker Game Boy games, Wily Wars, even the worst of the MMX titles. But nobody defends this one.>>12921589Even if you were to restrict yourself to /vr/-safe entries, Double Dash isn't the black sheep, Super Circuit is.
>>12921589What the fuck are you talking about? That is when Mario Kart got good, every game before had way less content too
>>12921790I liked it. It just seems like whenever I bring it up everyone hates it
>>12921790Retard>>12921792Everyone did hate it. Your intuition was correct.
>>12921790>every game before had way less content too>half the number of tracks that Super Circuit had

Zelda 2Dragon Quest 2Final Fantasy 2ActRaiser 2Ninja Gaiden 3Castlevania Dracula XXCoincidentally people saying this are retards and they're all the best in the series or close to it
People hate this one for a reason. 90% of the game is spent running through the same areas over and over doing menial tasks. The repetitive tournament arcs don't help, either.
>>12923047I could put up with a lot of this game's bullshit if the combat was fun, but it's horrible. Just look at the list of new enemies, there isn't a SINGLE one that is fun to fight, they all have super obnoxious patterns
>>12923007>Zelda 2thisPeople who say that Zelda 2 is a weak Zelda game have never played it
>>12923047for me it's park area 3
>>12923063Zelda 2 is an excellent game as games go, but the people who typically like Zelda enjoy it because it's like a breezy walk in the park where you poke around a quaint fantasy world, have a few easy fights, solve a few easy puzzles and get rewarded. Zelda 2 is more like an NES game which is an adventure but also tries to challenge and push the player. No surprise that fans of the series hate it so much.
>>12923109It's a Zelda game if it were made by Sega

>>12921571>SD1 was successful and became a classic; got two remakes and one reimagination>SD2 was a clusterfuck (but it wasn't Squaresoft's fault) and even then it became a classic for many kids in the West; got one remake that was even worse than original>SD3 was successful and became a classic in Japan; got one fantastic remake>LoM is 10/10 in pretty much everything except combat (which is like 1/10 at best) and thus still loved by people; got one remaster and anime adaptation>SD5 was great but NetEase began firing dev team 4-6 months prior to game's release, so the game does have a bunch of bugs and lacks in post-launch support>various experimental games (Children and Heroes; Legend also counts) had almost nothing similar to mainline series in terms of gameplay, but they passed as non-mainline titles>mobile games (Friends, Circle, Rise, Echoes) had various amount of success (I enjoyed Rise the most, wish I could try Friends before it EoS'd) but nowadays you can't play them anywayAnd then you have SD4Mind you, this shit came out in 2006 - by then Dark Cloud 1&2, KH 1&2 and DMC 1&3 were out. Devs knew how to make good 3D ARPGs / Action games, even S-E ones.And yet Ishii goes "damn, Gravity Gun from HL2 looks fun, I want it in SD series!", drops original gameplay of mainline titles and turns SD4 into clunky platforming hell full of tunnels and 5~10 floor clusterfuck ruins that are pain in the ass to navigate through. With fucking vine Gravity Gun, elemental bullets (that you HAVE to save for boss fights), poor variety of melee combat, 3D Classicvania stage structure, level/stat wipe after every cleared stage and painfully boring story + cast.SD4 was memoryholed by S-E themselves - it never got any sort of remaster or remake since release.
>>12921571Spider-Man: Web of Fire (32x)It was a failed title on a failed add-on/console, it'd take 4 years before Spider-Man finally got something good again with Neversoft's title, and while the 90's had some decent Spider-Man stuff, we were on a bad run when this one got released, it felt like an appropriate way to end the decade.It's a shame too, with polish this could've been the Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin 2 we never got, that would've rocked.
>>12921571Is this intentional bait thread? Are you actually fucking retarded? KQ3 is easily the most interesting of the series. What a fucking waste of a thread, I'm tired of these dipshits.
