It's also Super Metroid looking stronger in 2015 than in any prior contest.

Super Metroid never got a fair chance to show what it could do before 2015, although nearly losing to Super Mario Kart isn't a good look.

It seems like there is a bit of a correlation in the last two polls between games with stronger critical cachet approving over time. Obviously, all of these games have good critical receptions, but the more GOATy titles seem to be improving relative to the rest of the field. That's how reputations develop in pretty much every other cultural area throughout history, so I guess it shouldn't be surprising to see it happening here as well.

Super Metroid was definitely underappreciated in its own time, despite being critically lauded.

But, it might not be that bad either. Super Mario Kart is probably quite strong.

Yeah, it's possible SMK is just underappreciated. Mario Kart 64 did fairly well in that contest, all things considered.

Super Metroid wouldn't struggle to beat it now though, I'd imagine.

GoldenEye hasn't exactly aged too well. Back in 2009 it was arguably a top 20 game. In the 2015 contest it had clearly lost a step and with GameFAQs not caring about FPS it could be even weaker now.

Though I think it'll be the strongest FPS (unless you're counting games like Fallout 3 as an FPS).

To be fair, Goldeneye has remained as an extremely powerful game despite many people complaining it's aged horribly.

It's basically Pokmon R/B/Y at a smaller scale.

@Advokaiser Because the pics from RE came out yesterday and the pics from Bebob came out a few days ago. Also I am tired of this:

Developer: Hey this game has 2 women that are in relationship! Cool huh?
Average Guy:Oh I see and how is the gameplay?
Developer: You fucking sexist! This game is stunning and brave and contains minorities! What else matter? And they are somewhat ugly too! Just how are women in real life! Fucking sexist!

Or this one

Developer:This game stars a single black dad who has an autistic son. Sad things happen...
Average guy: Oh I understand. And how is the gameplay?
Developer:Fucking racist! This game is stunning and brave and stars minorities! Fucking racist! Who cares about other stuff?

Same with shows and movies. Everytime a new game/show/movie comes out you always heare about representation and stuff like that. I mean starring big buff white dudes or hot women with half their tits hanging out is so racist and sexist now that it is basically a death sentence.

I meanis it really that important for Americans? Can't we just have fun? You do know games/shows/movies are a form of escapism right? Even the remake of Saints Row is becoming woke! Damn!

@pjbasis
I haven't played that game but I have seen a walkthrough of it. It is a parody game after all.
I just want to be able to get excited about a game/show/movie without articles popping up all the time asking about inclusivity and stuff like that. Must everything be into politics and genders and stuff like that?

A pro tip in life is to not care about articles and stuff. I mean I think those conversations can be worthwhile, but they don't have to impact your enjoyment.

I can watch a youtube video analyzing the sexism and racism of the 007 franchise, basically agree with it, and then still have fun watching a James Bond movie or video game.

That's because you have the ability to compartmentalize. Sadly, a lot of outspoken people can't enjoy anything unless it's been completely sanitized to satisfy their political views.

you can have those things. The original Cowboy Bebop still exists.
If a different team of people is making a new version of a thing, why would you expect them to keep everything the same? If theyre not going to do anything differently, whats the point of doing it at all?

if you get upset about a lady character wearing more pants or whatever maybe thats an issue with you. wokeness aside, youll have a better time in general if you dont get hung up on everything being the same forever and can just let yourself enjoy the new thing for what it is.

I don't agree with Safer at all, but this is a stupid argument. Game of Thrones was good because it was such a close adaptation to the books compared to most adaptations out there. The changes in Netflix's Death Note were awful.
