Point still stands though, that Metroid has been completely ignored more times than Star Fox.


Objectively wrong.

Or do you need to find something else to take attention away from the fact that you're wrong?


What am I wrong about?

Oh yeah, I forgot about Hunters and Blast Ball LMFAO


What the fuck do you think that was?

Sorry, I forgot that things literally need to be spelled out for you.

Oops, I forgot about DS games. You're right, there aren't more Star Fox games than Metroid.

That better for you? Do you understand now? Or do you need to find something else to take attention away from the fact that you're wrong?

Forget to switch alts?

It's Mario, Zelda and Pokemon.

But Pikachu doesn't make as cool "epic drawings" so why don't we just pretend that it's Metroid to make Metroid fans happy?

Kinda like we pretend that F-Zero is still relevant for the F-Zero fans?

You say that Metroid being ignored more than Star Fox is objectively wrong.

If that was true, they wouldn't have ignored Metroid for two whole consoles.

Like, you literally can't keep up, can you?

Were there any Star fox games between the 64 and wii u releases? Metroid had at least 3 during the GC and Wii generations if I'm not mistaken.

I really think it's hard to match a third series with Super Mario or The Legend of Zelda. I don't feel like any Nintendo game comes close, other than Pokmon, which is second party.

Metroid has more games than Star Fox. It cant possibly have been ignored more if it has more games. Stop playing dumb.

But hey, show me the Star Fox games on GB, GBA, Wii, 3DS (no, SF64 3D doesn't count).

And the trinity was established by literally everyone, about 30 years ago. This isn't related to sales or popularity in the modern era, it's about those being the big 3 Nintendo ips in the NES days. They've been called the Nintendo trinity for decades, despite the fact that other series have beat one or more out in sales since then.

This.

Youngster_Joey_ posted...
Protip: Things change in 30 years. "literally everyone" isn't an authority, especially when "literally everyone" isn't agreeing with you in this very topic.

Once again, stop please. You're embarrassing yourself.

Superman/Wonder Woman have fluctuated in popularity a bunch of times. You don't replace them because of that. They (with Batman) will forever be the DC Trinity.

I haven't played that one yet, but I was imagining a very atmospheric third person stealth section. Like maybe early in the game there is a massive beast that Samus can't take down so she has creep around it whenever it pops up.

I think Metroid has a lot of potential for other types of game play in addition to her main shooter/adventure.

the joke is that i've grown weary over kojima's bullshit in the gaming industry, and it's clear that as time goes on all he really wants to do is make Mature and Cinematic Experiences that rival film. death stranding is going to be shit, i can feel it in my motherfucking bones.

I just got a PS4. Not really looking forward to finally seeing the anti-hype regarding MGSV. It's gonna break my heart, isn't it?

As Characters, do any of them have an actual personality? The games may be good, but the characters themselves aren't really something with their own defined personality afaik.

Mario seems like a leader type. Link is definitely the strong quiet type. Samus is serious.

From what little I know about them lol

I always presumed they were blank slates on purpose, so whoever was playing could more readily identify as "the hero" of the game, and just had generic hero traits to them.

I think so, too. The old silent protag technique. But they all have their little quirks.

Mario has some slapstick and sillyness, but you can tell he's serious about fighting when needed.

Link can be a bit naive, but he is also determined to complete his quest.

Samus seems to be the most serious. Like the Terminator. She is a cold blooded bounty hunter, after all.

Pokmon is first party. There's no such thing as a second party franchise.

Top 3 what? Just wondering what's so difficult about understanding the trinity nickname. Literally gamer history and CE is failing.

I put Zelda games overall above Metroid games, but Link has always been a very boring character on his own. Hell, even Zelda in the games is more interesting than him.

Well, it's just the discussion flow. I made a topic asking who's the best character. P standard. But the people seems stuck on what the Trinity is. But when me and others educate, casuals be like "nah it SHOULD be..."

I'm just saying like how can we be GameFAQs if most CEmen can't recognize these things. Idk if just getting old or what

They've just always been the trinity. Just like Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman is the DC trinity.

You don't replace Wonder Woman just because Harley Quinn is more popular.

Seriously this. NintendoFAQS of all places doesn't get this?

How is Batman going to take Superman or Wonder Woman's spot if he's already in the trilogy
