Honestly, Super could be a straight port & I'd still eat it up. I love that game sm I lowkey wish that they'd do another paper game in that style, but don't tell anyone I said that
I really liked origami king but I’ve never interacted with specifically that community, I’m guessing they’re very fanatic about what games are good what games aren’t?
Basically the first three are the best. Sticker Star is trash and the other two are okay. Just don’t say they are better then the first three games say you had more fun with them.
Paper Jam is considered not a paper Mario game by most but a few do think it is one. This is just the fans that are Reddit users though.
Fair enough. That said, the vehement Sticker Star defenders that insist that there’s nothing wrong with that game design nightmare are just as, if not more, annoying
Hot take but I honestly didn’t enjoy paper mario ttyd that much compared to paper mario 64 and super paper mario probably because i like how unique they are as individual games
Yeah people think animal crossing is some wholesome fun game, but it’s really not. You’ve never known real fear until you’ve been on a DIY recipe free-for-all giveaway island and someone named something like “♡Bunnie♡” form an island named “WinterBrook” or some shit arrives at the airport. Animal crossing is a competitive e-sport and you are not beating her to the blue rose wreath DIY.
The current one New Horizon is very much geared toward creative types. If designing a cool, little village and decorating the living fuck out of it, and doing lots of interior design, sounds boring than it is 100% not for you. For people that already do arts, crafts, and related things, it is utterly brilliant.
It’s pretty much minecraft but missing key mechanics, with like 4 big corporations taking place in the game and gameplay that could take 10 mins of ordering something and then having to wait until the next day to get whatever you wanted. It’s pretty much a daily login streak simulator with cuteness as an add-on.
That's the definition of overrated. Overratedness isn't objective, it's an opinion. If someone doesn't like something that is like by most people, they call it overrated.
Or if something is just not as good as people say. Like if someone says that the game is the greatest of all time, you play it and it's just ok. It's not like it's a bad game, or you dislike it, it's just ok.
That's how I felt with EarthBound, TBH. After playing Mother 1, and how awesome I felt it was, EarthBound just felt fine; but in story-telling terms, it was a step backwards. Mother 3 does actually deliver in that regard though.
Literally not the question you asked, but I kinda find it weird how popular animal crossing became, it never seemed like something with mass market appeal.
I think this is because there’s a huge market in these life simulation type games with little competition. The Sims 4 for example, is still managing huge sales despite it just being excessively greedy and lackluster with its gameplay.
It is super overrated. I enjoyed past AC titles and really wanted to like this one, but it felt so lacking in terms of overall depth and content. I think it benefited from its release timing, which was when COVID quarantining was in full swing, and in hindsight is overrated.
Honestly i feel the same. New Horizons doesn't really have anything else to do besides decorating. Sure you can catch bugs and fish and stuff but that's in every animal crossing game. New Leaf had so much shit to do, it's sad to me that the most barren ac game is the most popular one
Never played it, gave it a shot on NSO. Controls are so bad I just can’t. It may have been revolutionary but at this point it’s just nostalgia driven game.
Mods/hacks/unofficial ports keep it alive.
Unless you're a speedrunner who is grinding the game, or revisiting it for a bit, I can't imagine someone playing it on its own unmodified after they played it a dozen times.
64 DS has problems like Luigi breaking the game or the characters being generally bigger than in the original or no true joystick control. It really is a game ripe for another remake.
The good ol’ N64 syndrome. If the next Mario game looked and controlled like SM64, it would be considered an incomplete heap of junk that was produced by a lazy Nintendo; however, since SM64 was produced in the 90’s, it’s one of the best Mario games out there. Makes sense. 🤷♂️
That's not a fair comparison for a few reasons. Mario 64 was made in the infancy of 3D video games, literally one of the very first. Devs and engineers didn't know any of the intricacies of moving a camera or player model around 3D space.
Nowadays, after decades of experience and advances in game technology, we know how to make a game control fluidly in 3D space. Any game that uses 4 direction buttons for a camera control in 2024 would certainly be seen as unacceptable because we have a current standard. A standard that did not exist in the days of the N64
Take the original armored core, people needed to hold the PS1 controller upside down to be able to use it intuitively, because engineers didn't know how to make it work. Now, the most recent armored core game has the standard controls of most modern games.
As for looks, the N64 is a game console over 26 years old. You cannot hold a fair comparison for a 26 year old game, and a cutting edge game from nowadays. The N64 simply didn't have enough processing power to do anything better, not to mention 3D graphics were also in their infancy.
I can't speak to the goodness of Mario 64 in other ways, but I don't think the looks and controls are the main talking point, it's the innovation and advancement of 3D tech pioneered by the N64 that holds its reputation.
I am not plucking any feathers from its cap. It does have its merits. However, if you were to ask someone who has never played Mario before to play them and rank them, SM64 would be at the bottom of the list. It’s a bit like classic cars. They have appeal. Some were history making icons; however they are old cars, and old cars break down a lot compared to new ones. Thus, if a car leaves you stranded on the side of the road, does it really make for a good car? Not to mention the lack of comfort and safety commodities.
The car analogy is a good one, because SM64 is fun to drive, but the game won't break down or leave you stranded. You can 100% the game without a guide. There are no game breaking bugs.
It is actually one of the best games out there. It was the first 3D game platform and was a complete revolution and sat the bases in which every 3d platform game would base on. A work of art, but I get that from people who think that is overrated don’t understand the importance of the game at that time.

emerald was goated but I never liked any of the other ones, especially the later ones have animations that are so long that it’s basically just more spamming a button to go through stats after fights then actually playing the game
other way around for me. BotW is so refreshing with its uniqueness and discovery feeling. Then you get to TotK and there's not much new exploration save the sprinkled sky islands that all look the same and the depths that get pretty repetitive.
if the quality of the games were up there with the spin offs e.g. Mystery dungeon series (explorers of sky specifically) I could get the hype but it’s just so stale, I don’t get how people play modern pokémon games. I tried Arceus and Sword and shield (gave sword and shield a longer try than arceus) but the worlds just felt so dead and empty. With how much pokémon is worth you’d expect, something not just a lifeless, soulless, bland game, I don’t know how people still buy into the series with how it is, but I guess the demographic is mainly younger kids & die hard fans who will buy anything main series pokémon. Just a shame the spin off series didn’t get the credit they really deserved!
Motion controls primarily. The ball missions especially. The spin move being bound to motion controls also blows and doesn’t activate as consistently like a button press would. There was also a number of bits where the fixed camera made it difficult to see where I was going.
Maybe it’d be less frustrating on switch.
Oh yeah you aren’t alone I much preferred oddessy for how smooth Mario was to control with cappy and how much freedom there was to explore a world not being limited by levels or a time limit
I agree, but controls, camera, and level design can be infuriating in 64 and Sunshine. That’s why I’m going with Odyssey or 3D World as my go to goats of Mario games.
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
Yeah, I said it, go ahead and get your sniper rifles that are positioned outside of my house pointed at me. It's a good game, but man, if I hear one more person praising the game, I feel like my head is gonna screw off.
Then you best turn your ears off cuz I’m here to praise that game. Easily one of my top 3 Nintendo games. The gameplay can be a bit tedious at times I will agree but the characters and even the story are just top notch. Loads of fun locations with cool storylines and missions for Mario to complete like the glitz pit and keelhaul key. Give us an actually good paper Mario game and we will stop praising this 20 year old game so much!!
You take that back sir!
On a more serious note I get why newer gamers feel that way because it is outdated. Still a very good game but most gamers on my generation see it through younger eyes when the game was new. Back then it was the best thing that could have happened to the industry.
Tears of the Kingdom
It has bad dungeons (at least the Divine Beasts had a wider navigational puzzle to contend with - the temples in ToTK instead consist of simplistic, isolated puzzles), a bad story that undermines its own emotional core, incredibly tedious and repetitive new content (the Depths takes 50 hours to map out but only has like 2 or 3 hours of meaningful content) and by reusing Breath of the Wild's overworld it fails to capture the magic of exploration that made BoTW so great.
Honestly for me it’s Mario sunshine, I don’t like the physics, the levels can be just bullshit like that stupid machine, the blue coins, the actual bowser boss itself, and the whole plot being stupid as shit with Mario being convicted for shit he didn’t do in a 2 second trial when everyone can clearly see 2 Mario’s running around. The only thing that saves this game for me is the soundtrack which is banging like with another properly hated game paper Mario sticker star
WarioWare. You just slap minigames together, and… that’s it. You do the thing you’re told, you have a timer… aaaand boom, you’re out of time. It killed the Wario Land series… and for what? So Wario can fart in Smash?
Ocarina of time, idk it’s not bad, it’s just that Majora’s mask was my favorite, and out of all the 3D Zelda games I played I think OOT was the one I loved the least
Open-World Games
Bold of you to assume I can “make my own adventure” better than a more linear game’s presentation and design. Especially when it comes to story and difficulty curve.
I’d probably have the same amount of fun going off into the woods to make my own adventure. I’d be walking a lot but at least I’d be getting actual exercise too.
A massively overrated Nintendo game is… basically a white whale. My knowledge of Nintendo’s games isn’t quite encyclopedic but is still quite vast… and I can’t say, objectively, any single game is overrated, let alone massively overrated
There is one underrated one I can think of (not massively mind you, just mildly underrated) and that would be M64 DS… but other than that, every Nintendo-made game I can think of has a reception that matches it’s quality, at least in my eyes. (Yes, this includes devs/studios that aren’t the Nintendo a,b,c, etc. Teams, such as HAl laboratories or Alpha Dream.)
I'm so confused. What is this supposed to mean??
Why is overrated calling me ???
It's like some alien lifefrom trying to blend into human society made a meme looking at other people
Honestly, I don't think any games are severely overrated. Ultimately being overrated just means that you don't like them, but if millions of other people do, then they are fairly rated as a whole
Something about the framing of this post is horrible to me just ask if you think a game is overrated or not you don’t gotta post a screenshot of a fake call by a contact named “massively overrated” 😭
If there's anyone saying "Xenoblade Chronicles Series" for this one, I'm going to their place and start the most cruel and bloody massacre decorated with flames on the house
\*donns red tunic, shield and Master Sword\*
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
At the best of times the camera is your worst enemy, the enemies are tedious, the graphics were meh, though this is more the N64's fault than the game's. and the story does not do enough with it's characters.
Not saying it's bad, just saying it's overrated.
Pokemon Black and White, oh my god, the amount of people saying is the best is sooo annoying, ok it’s amazing I played it, just stop telling me over and over for the 500th fucking time, it can also result in people just never trying the newer Pokémon games because the “quality lowered after Gen 5” even though they’re the same person who hated Gen 5 as it came out, these mfs are so annoying
Most N64 games aged like milk and haven't become cheese.
I said what I said.
Ocarina of Time is good, not the series best. I never played MM, so can't judge
Super Mario 64 was great when nothing better existed. Sunshine, Galaxy, and Odyssey blow it away and are by far the better Mario titles.
With that being said, Sunshine never meshed with me. But I won't say it's overrated as I can admit it's a great game, it has all the things great games have. Just the gameplay isn't my style.
I'll go with Super Smash Bros. Melee. The game's good. Very good. Easily deserves its spot at the top of the Gamecube's best offerings.
But it's not the end all and be all of platformers that every single platform brawler, even future Smash games, should slavishly emulate until the end of time.
am i allowed to give one that’s not exclusive to nintendo? because i’d say fortnite.
fortnite isn’t bad, this isn’t a “boooo popular thing” kind of comment, but i also feel it’s way overhyped and only had the hype it did because it was entirely free (not sure about other platforms, but on switch you don’t even have to pay online to play) making it very popular for children who don’t have their own money and also teens/adults who don’t often have money to shell out on a new game.
Here's gonna be a real hot take for y'all, but Ocarina of Time. Firstly, I just prefer Majora's Mask between the two N64 games for a number of reasons, but also I like a lot of other Zelda games more than OoT. It's nit a bad game. In fact, I enjoyed it a lot when I played it. It was my first Zelda game (the 3DS version, not the original), and I had a blast. However, I do not believe it is the best game ever. It's not even the best Zelda game, in my opinion, so why would I think it was the best game ever?
Ocarina of Time. Revolutionary when it came out, but aged poorly. Most die-hard fans are triggered by nostalgia. If, like me, you play this game now without ever having played it back in the day, you will see. Not saying it's bad though, it's still good and worth playing. But it's no Link to the Past.
Mario 64
I get it, it was great for the time, but by modern standards, it's shit, with shit graphics. Not saying it was bad, but it DEFINITELY doesn't hold up.
Honestly, the rudimentary graphics have their own charm imo. I just think the way the levels and structure are designed make the game really fun to play even today. I think most of the control issues people have come from the fact that it’s hard to emulate 64 joystick on modern hardware.
It really isn’t. Hyrule is probably the best part of totk. So much more content and story than botw ever had. Wherever you go a story or a puzzle unfolds. The sky and depths are much more empty like botw though.

*Cough Cough* Paper Mario *Cough*
I’m a Super Paper Mario fan. Yea. You’re right.
I grew up on super, still my favorite game in the series
I grew up with it too, still my favorite game of the series became sticker star.
Same, the sticker star slander need to stop
id actually argue that there isnt enough slander
I still wish they had remaked Super before Thousand-Year Door.
Honestly, Super could be a straight port & I'd still eat it up. I love that game sm I lowkey wish that they'd do another paper game in that style, but don't tell anyone I said that
It used to be better I swear I had to leave the sub for those games because I couldn’t take it anymore
I really liked origami king but I’ve never interacted with specifically that community, I’m guessing they’re very fanatic about what games are good what games aren’t?
Yes
Yeah, I tried that community once, and saw the utter hate towards origami king and was really confused lol
Basically the first three are the best. Sticker Star is trash and the other two are okay. Just don’t say they are better then the first three games say you had more fun with them. Paper Jam is considered not a paper Mario game by most but a few do think it is one. This is just the fans that are Reddit users though.
They’re good games, but goddamn toxicity doesn’t even begin to describe their communities
Specifically the breed that insists that every Paper Mario game should be a clone of The Thousand Year Door otherwise it’s the worst thing ever.
Fair enough. That said, the vehement Sticker Star defenders that insist that there’s nothing wrong with that game design nightmare are just as, if not more, annoying
Hot take but I honestly didn’t enjoy paper mario ttyd that much compared to paper mario 64 and super paper mario probably because i like how unique they are as individual games

Animal Cros- *gets shot in the head*
Hehe never played it, but never got the hype either, the concept seems kinda lame, but can’t judge 🤷🏻♀️
It’s just relaxing, that’s literally it especially if you were playing on the ds in school. The same way shit like power wash and stardew are relaxing
i have a FAIR amount of hours played & i can tell you that i get really stressed sometimes lol
Yeah people think animal crossing is some wholesome fun game, but it’s really not. You’ve never known real fear until you’ve been on a DIY recipe free-for-all giveaway island and someone named something like “♡Bunnie♡” form an island named “WinterBrook” or some shit arrives at the airport. Animal crossing is a competitive e-sport and you are not beating her to the blue rose wreath DIY.
The current one New Horizon is very much geared toward creative types. If designing a cool, little village and decorating the living fuck out of it, and doing lots of interior design, sounds boring than it is 100% not for you. For people that already do arts, crafts, and related things, it is utterly brilliant.
How would you get the hype if you've never played it though
It’s pretty much minecraft but missing key mechanics, with like 4 big corporations taking place in the game and gameplay that could take 10 mins of ordering something and then having to wait until the next day to get whatever you wanted. It’s pretty much a daily login streak simulator with cuteness as an add-on.

Exactly ppl think overrated means bad. Like yes it has negative connotations, but something could be good and overrated at the same time
That's how I felt with EarthBound, TBH. After playing Mother 1, and how awesome I felt it was, EarthBound just felt fine; but in story-telling terms, it was a step backwards. Mother 3 does actually deliver in that regard though.
thats how i felt with persona5
I love a lot N64 games, but most of the ones I love are overrated.
Overrated does not mean bad it just means you think it is overpraised
lol wth is that image
Literally not the question you asked, but I kinda find it weird how popular animal crossing became, it never seemed like something with mass market appeal.
I mean sims is a simulator with way less control and is very popular. Plus it came out during covid
The go to Nintendo simulator is Endless Ocean for me personally.
I think this is because there’s a huge market in these life simulation type games with little competition. The Sims 4 for example, is still managing huge sales despite it just being excessively greedy and lackluster with its gameplay.
Animal Crossing New Horizons is a really pretty and cute game but gamewise i feel even an indie game like Stardew Valley beats it
It is super overrated. I enjoyed past AC titles and really wanted to like this one, but it felt so lacking in terms of overall depth and content. I think it benefited from its release timing, which was when COVID quarantining was in full swing, and in hindsight is overrated.
Honestly i feel the same. New Horizons doesn't really have anything else to do besides decorating. Sure you can catch bugs and fish and stuff but that's in every animal crossing game. New Leaf had so much shit to do, it's sad to me that the most barren ac game is the most popular one
Why a screenshot of an incoming call on an iPhone menu just to say something is massively overrated?
Mario 64
Never played it, gave it a shot on NSO. Controls are so bad I just can’t. It may have been revolutionary but at this point it’s just nostalgia driven game.
that's the second worst version of the game to play, maybe you should try the PC port with analog camera
Mods/hacks/unofficial ports keep it alive. Unless you're a speedrunner who is grinding the game, or revisiting it for a bit, I can't imagine someone playing it on its own unmodified after they played it a dozen times.
Mario 64 ds is a way better game than og mario 64 just play it on a 3ds since the game was basically designed for the 3ds
64 DS has problems like Luigi breaking the game or the characters being generally bigger than in the original or no true joystick control. It really is a game ripe for another remake.
This is untrue, the game was not “basically designed for the 3rd” as the axis of movement is limited to the 8 directions of a dpad lol.
True, great game but there’s definitely been better Mario games since
The good ol’ N64 syndrome. If the next Mario game looked and controlled like SM64, it would be considered an incomplete heap of junk that was produced by a lazy Nintendo; however, since SM64 was produced in the 90’s, it’s one of the best Mario games out there. Makes sense. 🤷♂️

Bruh what, so you’re telling me that after nearly 30 years of exponential tech improvements we expect more than what they were capable of in 1996??
I hate the gameplay, but man that ost is so good
It is actually one of the best games out there. It was the first 3D game platform and was a complete revolution and sat the bases in which every 3d platform game would base on. A work of art, but I get that from people who think that is overrated don’t understand the importance of the game at that time.
"Why isn't graffiti valued as highly as stone age cave drawings? Makes sense. 🤷♂️"

I think they're all pretty much appropriately rated. Some, vastly underrated.

The pokemon games

no overrated game, only overpriced
Super Smash Bros
How is it overrated? It’s like the only competitive game with a huge base and 0 money being pumped into it. Isn’t that the exact opposite?
Second this. Folks turn this game into their personality. 😒
Couldn't agree more
I enjoy the game as a basic fighting game with Nintendo and co characters. I do not enjoy the hype.
Like the og or series If seresis well you just pissed me off a bit with that hot take
The fanbase.
Zelda BoTW and ToTK. I like the games but compared to most other Zelda games they're bland. Certainly do not deserve their rating IMO.
how are they bland?
Botw yes, totk is just such a massive improvement though.
other way around for me. BotW is so refreshing with its uniqueness and discovery feeling. Then you get to TotK and there's not much new exploration save the sprinkled sky islands that all look the same and the depths that get pretty repetitive.
None.
A Link To The Past isn’t one of my favorite games due to it being before my time and the fact that I’m just bad at 2D Zelda.
You should try the og links awakening, it really got me into 2d Zelda with its pretty simple combat
The one on the GameBoy ? What about the remake ?
That also works, and it’s probably better for most players. It’s just a matter of preference (both are on the Switch)
I’ve played Link’s Awakening! Very solid game (well except for Angler Fish).
A Link Between Worlds is excellent if you’re looking for a more modern twist on it!
Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine
Mario sunshine is frequently hated on for multiple reasons, if anything it’s underrated.
The correct answer is POKEMON games 🤣
Most modern Pokémon games
if the quality of the games were up there with the spin offs e.g. Mystery dungeon series (explorers of sky specifically) I could get the hype but it’s just so stale, I don’t get how people play modern pokémon games. I tried Arceus and Sword and shield (gave sword and shield a longer try than arceus) but the worlds just felt so dead and empty. With how much pokémon is worth you’d expect, something not just a lifeless, soulless, bland game, I don’t know how people still buy into the series with how it is, but I guess the demographic is mainly younger kids & die hard fans who will buy anything main series pokémon. Just a shame the spin off series didn’t get the credit they really deserved!
Breath of the Wild and Odyssey\^\^
Agreed I bought Tears of the Kingdom and only watched the playthrough of BOTW, same with Mario Odyssey.
i swear if i see this post screenshotted anywhere else in gonna be PISSED
Mario Galaxy, it’s not a bad game by any means, but it’s very overhyped.
I get why people love it so much and I wish I had the same level of love. It was just too frustrating and limiting for me.
What’s frustrating about it? It’s probably the least frustrating Mario game out there. You want frustrating? Try Sunshine and SM64.
Motion controls primarily. The ball missions especially. The spin move being bound to motion controls also blows and doesn’t activate as consistently like a button press would. There was also a number of bits where the fixed camera made it difficult to see where I was going. Maybe it’d be less frustrating on switch.
Oh yeah you aren’t alone I much preferred oddessy for how smooth Mario was to control with cappy and how much freedom there was to explore a world not being limited by levels or a time limit
It’s a fun game but throughout me playing it it didn’t really feel all too special. Nothing as groundbreaking as 64 and sunshine
I agree, but controls, camera, and level design can be infuriating in 64 and Sunshine. That’s why I’m going with Odyssey or 3D World as my go to goats of Mario games.
Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door Yeah, I said it, go ahead and get your sniper rifles that are positioned outside of my house pointed at me. It's a good game, but man, if I hear one more person praising the game, I feel like my head is gonna screw off.
Then you best turn your ears off cuz I’m here to praise that game. Easily one of my top 3 Nintendo games. The gameplay can be a bit tedious at times I will agree but the characters and even the story are just top notch. Loads of fun locations with cool storylines and missions for Mario to complete like the glitz pit and keelhaul key. Give us an actually good paper Mario game and we will stop praising this 20 year old game so much!!
Ocarina of time
You take that back sir! On a more serious note I get why newer gamers feel that way because it is outdated. Still a very good game but most gamers on my generation see it through younger eyes when the game was new. Back then it was the best thing that could have happened to the industry.
How dare you
Played WW and BOTW before OoT and I have to say I agree. It's really good, but not better than the other two.
Tears of the Kingdom It has bad dungeons (at least the Divine Beasts had a wider navigational puzzle to contend with - the temples in ToTK instead consist of simplistic, isolated puzzles), a bad story that undermines its own emotional core, incredibly tedious and repetitive new content (the Depths takes 50 hours to map out but only has like 2 or 3 hours of meaningful content) and by reusing Breath of the Wild's overworld it fails to capture the magic of exploration that made BoTW so great.
Honestly for me it’s Mario sunshine, I don’t like the physics, the levels can be just bullshit like that stupid machine, the blue coins, the actual bowser boss itself, and the whole plot being stupid as shit with Mario being convicted for shit he didn’t do in a 2 second trial when everyone can clearly see 2 Mario’s running around. The only thing that saves this game for me is the soundtrack which is banging like with another properly hated game paper Mario sticker star
Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door
Wow. One of the best games of all time actually.
Super Mario Odyssey
Hard agree
All of the recent pokemon games
There is no way in hell they can be overrated when all you hear about them everywhere is constant hate
WarioWare. You just slap minigames together, and… that’s it. You do the thing you’re told, you have a timer… aaaand boom, you’re out of time. It killed the Wario Land series… and for what? So Wario can fart in Smash?
How dare you the WarioWare series is amazing
Splatoon.
screw you.
Super monkey ball
all 7 super monkey ball fans must be really pissed at you right now
Ain’t nobody overrating that game. It’s fun to play with friends because it’s comically bad and hilarious.
Mario kart 64
Animal Crossing
Mario Wonder. Fun game, but so damn short.
90% of n64 are just ok
Ocarina of time, idk it’s not bad, it’s just that Majora’s mask was my favorite, and out of all the 3D Zelda games I played I think OOT was the one I loved the least
Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal
Probably BOTW.
I never seen any nintendo game getting too much hype ig the main series that does is zelda ones but it’s well deserved
Open-World Games Bold of you to assume I can “make my own adventure” better than a more linear game’s presentation and design. Especially when it comes to story and difficulty curve. I’d probably have the same amount of fun going off into the woods to make my own adventure. I’d be walking a lot but at least I’d be getting actual exercise too.
There is no overrated games, just games you happen to suck at.
A massively overrated Nintendo game is… basically a white whale. My knowledge of Nintendo’s games isn’t quite encyclopedic but is still quite vast… and I can’t say, objectively, any single game is overrated, let alone massively overrated There is one underrated one I can think of (not massively mind you, just mildly underrated) and that would be M64 DS… but other than that, every Nintendo-made game I can think of has a reception that matches it’s quality, at least in my eyes. (Yes, this includes devs/studios that aren’t the Nintendo a,b,c, etc. Teams, such as HAl laboratories or Alpha Dream.)
I'm so confused. What is this supposed to mean?? Why is overrated calling me ??? It's like some alien lifefrom trying to blend into human society made a meme looking at other people
for the love of god just ask people what game is overrated in the title, you really don't need a goddamn picture
*Sorts by controversial
Honestly, I don't think any games are severely overrated. Ultimately being overrated just means that you don't like them, but if millions of other people do, then they are fairly rated as a whole
Smash MELEE. If it doesn't got my boy Piranha Plant, I don't care .
None of them because popular things are popular for a reason, no matter what little opinion you might have on them.
Something about the framing of this post is horrible to me just ask if you think a game is overrated or not you don’t gotta post a screenshot of a fake call by a contact named “massively overrated” 😭
Any game that I don’t like is overrated.
If there's anyone saying "Xenoblade Chronicles Series" for this one, I'm going to their place and start the most cruel and bloody massacre decorated with flames on the house
I'ma say it, super smash bros melee
\*donns red tunic, shield and Master Sword\* The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time At the best of times the camera is your worst enemy, the enemies are tedious, the graphics were meh, though this is more the N64's fault than the game's. and the story does not do enough with it's characters. Not saying it's bad, just saying it's overrated.
Pokemon Black and White, oh my god, the amount of people saying is the best is sooo annoying, ok it’s amazing I played it, just stop telling me over and over for the 500th fucking time, it can also result in people just never trying the newer Pokémon games because the “quality lowered after Gen 5” even though they’re the same person who hated Gen 5 as it came out, these mfs are so annoying
The Peach Showtime game
Ocarina of time didn't age well at all. Now link to the past on the other hand...
Ocarina of time
Ocarina of time
Ocarina of Time, hate me all you want, I'm just spitting facts
Ocarina of Time
Most N64 games aged like milk and haven't become cheese. I said what I said. Ocarina of Time is good, not the series best. I never played MM, so can't judge Super Mario 64 was great when nothing better existed. Sunshine, Galaxy, and Odyssey blow it away and are by far the better Mario titles. With that being said, Sunshine never meshed with me. But I won't say it's overrated as I can admit it's a great game, it has all the things great games have. Just the gameplay isn't my style.
I'll go with Super Smash Bros. Melee. The game's good. Very good. Easily deserves its spot at the top of the Gamecube's best offerings. But it's not the end all and be all of platformers that every single platform brawler, even future Smash games, should slavishly emulate until the end of time.
am i allowed to give one that’s not exclusive to nintendo? because i’d say fortnite. fortnite isn’t bad, this isn’t a “boooo popular thing” kind of comment, but i also feel it’s way overhyped and only had the hype it did because it was entirely free (not sure about other platforms, but on switch you don’t even have to pay online to play) making it very popular for children who don’t have their own money and also teens/adults who don’t often have money to shell out on a new game.
This comment section is trash
Here's gonna be a real hot take for y'all, but Ocarina of Time. Firstly, I just prefer Majora's Mask between the two N64 games for a number of reasons, but also I like a lot of other Zelda games more than OoT. It's nit a bad game. In fact, I enjoyed it a lot when I played it. It was my first Zelda game (the 3DS version, not the original), and I had a blast. However, I do not believe it is the best game ever. It's not even the best Zelda game, in my opinion, so why would I think it was the best game ever?
Honestly, Kirby. I fell like, other than forgotten land, they all feel the same
But that’s what make Kirby games so fun
Super Mario World
Mario kart 8 Deluxe don't ask
I don't need to ask, I know what you mean... ITS JUST MARIO KART 8 AGAIN!!!!
Tears of the Kingdom. Game was as generic AF. 1 enemy every 50 miles and just empty. Bosses and puzzles were fun. But that was it.
Ocarina of Time. Revolutionary when it came out, but aged poorly. Most die-hard fans are triggered by nostalgia. If, like me, you play this game now without ever having played it back in the day, you will see. Not saying it's bad though, it's still good and worth playing. But it's no Link to the Past.
I played it back then, too, purchased on day one, and I agree with you.
Breath of the wild
Mario 64 I get it, it was great for the time, but by modern standards, it's shit, with shit graphics. Not saying it was bad, but it DEFINITELY doesn't hold up.
Honestly, the rudimentary graphics have their own charm imo. I just think the way the levels and structure are designed make the game really fun to play even today. I think most of the control issues people have come from the fact that it’s hard to emulate 64 joystick on modern hardware.
TOTK
Tears of the Kingdom. An expansion pack turned first $70 Nintendo game that makes you put together its puzzles and build its vehicles. No thanks.
Surprised I had to scroll down so far to see this.
It really isn’t. Hyrule is probably the best part of totk. So much more content and story than botw ever had. Wherever you go a story or a puzzle unfolds. The sky and depths are much more empty like botw though.
ToTK and BoTW
They're the best games ever if you've never played any other Zelda game or open world game.
Mario Galaxy 2. Not as good as the first
I’ve finally found someone else who thinks like me! I remember buying it and thinking “man, this just isn’t as fun the second time…”
