Best Year for Gaming (Releases)

[Finch]

OH GOODNESS. I FORGOT NAPPLE TALE. BEST YEAR.

[Finch]

Yup. Everything that's ever been is accessible, new stuff happening in every genre.

SHUT UP YELLERDOG, SO WRONG.

[Yoshi]

2011.

Yup. Everything that's ever been is accessible, new stuff happening in every genre.

Which is exactly why I specific releases, as oppose to cumulative bullshit.

[Finch]

I think this year is the best one we've has since about 2000 or so.

I was telling Geen this yesterday. Most of the games i really liked were portable and a lot were ports, but they were ports of games that weren't officially released in English before or games that were really different than the original release.

[A Robot Bit Me]

OH GOODNESS. I FORGOT NAPPLE TALE. BEST YEAR.

Did the translation patch ever come out for this? I'd very much like to play it in English.

Legend of Mana (BETTER THAN SECRET)

Fuck you.

somebody card me

[Diff-chan]

Secret of Mana is so overrated. I'm sorry but you know it is true.

Regarding 2011. Not only do we have a lot of cool new games, but re-releases/updates of stuff like:
Guardian Heroes
NBA Jam
Daytona USA
Radiant Silvergun

I mean, sheeeit, this year is so good we got two Marvel vs. Capcom games.

Yeah, but there were a lot of positives too.

edit: I think you have to wait about five years to see the relative quality and importance of a year, so it's really hard to judge the current generation objectively.

[YellerDog]

Daytona is better in 2011 than it was in 1993.

Despite the lack of playable horses. (DLC!)

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

2000 was the year.

Vagrant Story
Final Fantasy IX
Legend of Mana (BETTER THAN SECRET)
Mega Man Legends 2
Cool Cool Toon
Majora's Mask
Breath of Fire IV
Sin & Punishment
Persona 2: Eternal Punishment
The Misadventures of Tron Bonne
Marvel vs Capcom 2
Torneko: The Last Hope
Threads of Fate
Metal Slug 3
Ogre Battle 64

If i want to cheat, i can even add the jp release of Paper Mario, and the console releases of Gunbird 2 and Street Fighter III: 3rd Strike.

2000 is better than every other year ever.

Planescape Torment. Since Deus Ex was december 99 we can fudge it a bit and say it was 2000 as well.
