:(:(:(:(

You're not missing that much. The first Paper Mario was far superior to the second one, in every possible way.

I also like that you put Earthbound ahead of M3.

I was under the impression that they were only published by Nintendo, but I guess you could be right. Not sure anymore.

But yeah, I dunno, I just liked the atmosphere in Earthbound a lot more than I did in M3. Not quite sure why, though!

I completely agree about EarthBound being better, which is why it made my list and M3 didn't. Although for me a large part of that was because I felt the team you got was better. I agree about liking the atmosphere better as well though.

Earthbound was unlike everything I've ever played, but I couldn't really get attached to the characters since they didn't have much backstory.

Mother 3's characters (or at least the ones in Lucas' family) were built from the ground up and it was really cool to see them change as the game went on. It also dealt with some surprisingly mature themes (Tanetane Island: need I say more?) and the whole experience got me so attached to the characters it'd probably sound ridiculous to even try to explain the full extent of it, especially since the only visual representation provided was a handful 2D sprites.

I'm a huge sucker for a good story in a game though, so that's probably why I enjoyed it so much. It wasn't a perfect game, but definitely an experience that's going to be hard to match.

The answer is Starfox.

First 3D Nintendo game ever.

Best soundtrack ever.

Full game in 20 mins! Weee:

Do a barrel roll?

yoshi's island for SNES.
I LOVE this game.

*sigh* those were the days...

I still think Ocarina of time is one of my favourite games ever. Sure new games may come along but I dont think any game will ever get it right the way ocarina of time did.....I wish I had my n64 to go play it right now

MARIO FTW. Everything else, gtfo, kthxbai.

My favourite game of all time would have to be Super Smash Bros., followed by Super Mario World for the SNES, and let's not forget Pokemon G/S and Paper Mario. SSB had so much replay value, it was the perfect game when playing with 3+ people.

Methinks next the MI Meetup needs some SSB64.
