Phase 1
Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Star Fox, Kirby

Phase 2
Mario 2, Zelda 2, Earthbound, F-Zero, Smash Bros, Metroid 2, Animal Crossing, Wario

Phase 3
Mario 3, Punch Out, Kid Icarus, Fire Emblem, Zelda 3, Smash Bros 2

I didnt put pokemon cause I think TPC wouldn't allow it
I know I'm a little late but
Phase 1
Xenoblade

Its story is just asking to be made to a movie or even an anime considering how long it is.

If Xenoblade was an anime I'd watch the crap out of it. Please Nintendo. Please.

The sheer amount of cutscenes is ridiculous. The story is actually really solid. Seeing those fights in anime style would be amaze.

Honestly, I want a Punch Out anime
The game itself already focus on fight scenes anyway
Besides, who doesn't want to see Doc speaking japanese?
Or just having Little Mac shout "ORAORAORAORAORAORA"

Near the end of the game, my team was Melia, Reyn, and Dunban (working my way to max affinity for the party!)

This usually resulted in some very humorous bouts of dialogue...
[collapse=]
You can't have a rainbow without Reyn, baby!

Dunban, I think you need to have a talk with Reyn.

No, let's pretend it didn't happen.
[/collapse]

This game is gold.


Regarding party line-up, I found that Melia is particularly amazing to play as once you figure out how to use her, since she can topple anything on her own in seconds and her moves are very effective if used correctly. I usually would have Sharla for healing, then the other character can be anyone since they just need to help with enemies, though Shulk isn't the best option since he's more defensive and not well suited to drawing aggro (and has a terrible habit of using completely useless Monado arts). I usually used Seven as the third member in this case, but that's just personal preference. The other ideal team setup would be Shulk > Dunban > Reyn, in that order for optimal break/topple/daze, with Dunban and Reyn completely keeping anything from targeting Shulk. Of course, any of this also depends on what arts you have set up and how you prefer to play in general.
Yeah I'm late but Xenoblade is the best ever.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a Tekken character finds its way into Pokken. Maybe Kuma.

Anime is still good while pretty much all 'normal' cartoons have turned just aweful. I can't watch Disney Channel or Cartoon Network with the 'shows' they have on nowdays. :/

That's because most cartoons are either LOLSORANDOM crap or Pretentious Hipster Bull****.

That is sadly true. Actually, I can really like 'random' shows. Family Guy does it pretty good nowdays. But even being random is hard to master, and most shows doesn't quite make it.

This is all just my opinion, of course. I am sure there are exceptions with there being some good shows. I just feel the quality has dropped drastically in recent years. Even the artstyles. :/ So many of them screams 'this was the easiest way to make things animated so we don't care if it looks super cheap'. And it saddens me a little.

Only 2 of those shows I like on that list, Regular Show and Gravity Falls. I dropped Adventure Time a long time ago and Steven Universe bored the hell out of me

>No mention of Archer and Bob's Burgers

Not to start a flame war but man, I feel like that show got so overhyped due it being the only good show with writing and the memes. It was okay but goddamn that show can give you diabetes.

I've not seen super much by them all, but very few of those seems to be above average. Adventure Time seems pretty interesting, though. I have meant to try it. :s

But I still feel anime is much better, overall, nowdays. Aside from overdone laws has made everything Yaoi be overly censored. >3>

All the good Doctor does is just throw random colored pills at viruses though :smirk:
To be fair, they have introduced a few new features over the course of the series such as germ buster so I suppose they could do a few more interesting things for him if they where to ever wish to but the good Doc has more or less established his place in the series now from the looks of things so I don't really see them doing anything overly drastic for him in the future. Much like Toon Link, Falco and Ganondorf and the like etc.

Good thing the Layton series has a bit more to work with though and they can always do a few interesting stuff with Lip and Mallo too if they wished to.

Anime belongs in the trash.
Well, I can contest this. Sort of.

Anime is a visual medium. It conveys a story visually, the same way a movie or a television show would. Arguably, with the amount of CG and technical feats film has managed, it could simply be called a style of telling a serialized story or a style of presenting a film. There's nothing inherently wrong with the concept.

The issue is that it's heavily diluted. You could say the same of American film and television, but we (as viewers) typically have ways of shortening the list. In television's case, it's a lot easier to find shows that are well written if you look at cable television. Network TV? Mostly garbage, and it's not because they're not allowed to swear or have graphic content. It's in the poor rehashes of scripts.

With anime, it's a lot harder to identify the gems. For once, the popular series at this point tend not to be good, and the anime fandom is incredibly toxic and defensive. It's hard to get a straight answer on what shows are good, so people will often get different people giving radically different answers.

I don't think it "belongs in the trash", but shows like Sword Art Online, Attack on Titan, and Akame Ga Kill being popular (alongside the still-somehow going harem genre) over actual well-written works like From the New World is pretty strong evidence the medium has recently taken a huge nosedive since 2010. Of course, I'm just another biased (and somewhat disgruntled) anime fan that loves it for the same reason I love films/TV.

You're welcome to your opinion too, but I don't think it's fair to trash an entire medium when many series in that medium are as well-written as the best shows America has produced.

Can I just say I like SAO?
Before you get the pitchforks, I like the first 13 episodes. Like, not love. AKA actual Sword Art Online. Nothing else exists after that.
ABSOLUTLEY.
NOTHING.

Me and my friends were on our "otaku' phase when it first came out and we watched the whole first season
I do not like remembering those days
It's basically a harem anime with swords

What I will say about anime is that I grew to hate it as the years grew on. Mainly because it became so otaku. To me anime was an art but if you want real art and a real anime I just watch Miyazaki film. Those are the most amazing pieces I have watched when it comes to cultured art. The music including in that as well.

P.s sorry if this offended anyone about the otaku comment.

I haven't slept so I don't feel like going into super detail and apologies if my points aren't so strong but I'll try lol.

FMA is overrated but Gurren Lagann isn't? shows like Cowboy bebop, evangelion and gurren lagann are just as popular as FMA and JoJo so your statement feels pretty meh.

Danganronpa the animation wasn't that great tbh, the game did it better and the anime didn't do the game justice.

I don't understand what's so bad about attack on titan? I'm assuming it's purely because it's popular lmao. The fact is people who hate on the show would be calling it an underrated masterpiece if it hadn't been as popular as it is.

I feel there's a BIT more to it than that. But again, only the first 13 episodes.
Holy **** what the hell happened from then onwards. Jeeesus.

I'm not an SAO fan, but I get why it's popular. It appeals to a teenage demographic the same way that Michael Bay movies do. Lots of fanservice and action, little thought goes into the story. It plays out like one of those fantasy things you might do when you're younger with your toys and whatnot.

It's essentially like a fanfiction written by a teenage boy. As much as it fails on every level at connecting emotions, I can have some level of respect for it because I don't honestly believe it ever intended to be anything except wish fulfilment. As far as I understand, it was a secondary project by the writer who made it anyway.

One thing I don't get is why people like Aincrad so much. I'd call it the worst part of the show, honestly. It has the most plot holes, it's the laziest at storytelling, it wastes the premise and a potentially good villain, and half of it or more is filler that borders on harem stuff.


I... don't know why AoT is popular, though. I've never actually seen anybody, not even fans, contest that the show has poor characterization and pacing. The script is among the worst I've ever seen. With how much dialogue there is, I'd assume that target audience would just get bored of it. I mean, nothing actually happens in the show. If I were to spoil everything about AoT in this post, it'd kinda be like me saying "btw White Walkers are in the prologue of Game of Thrones."

I'd love a perspective on this, actually.

Oh wait, you were serious...
How can Gurren Lagann be overrated if the popularity it gets is deserved? :cool:
I didn't play Danganronpa so the anime seemed pretty good to me :dizzy:
Attack on Titan is there because I still remember the never-ending crossovers
2 friends of mine want to watch a hentai with me for ****s and giggles...I'm okay with this
Plot twist: it's Boku no Pico :troll:
