Famitsu asks four top Japan devs their picks for top-3 of all time

Kadoman Otsuka, assistant editor-in-chief for Japan's Famitsu magazine, has a weekly column page in the mag where he talks about...mostly game-related stuff, although (like a lot of other video-game editors that need to fill up space on a deadline) he veers off-topic a lot of the time. This week's Otsuka piece is worth paying attention to, though: While drinking with some of his game-dev pals, he decided to ask them what their top three all-time games are.

SF2 would be a decent shout for how big it was at the time but as I had an Amiga and not a SNES it didn't really affect me the same way. Same for Tetris -the Gameboy version was one of the most important games of all time but I didn't own a Gameboy. Both Super Mario World and Sonic would have decent shout for being in any list but that was pre-consoles for me. Lemmings and Sim City were massive deals in the history of gaming and possibly Civilisation should sneak in with them. PC games Doom, Quake and later Half Life should also get honourable mentions. Where would the world be without Championship Manager (now Football Manager)? I will go for 4:

1- Championship Manager
2- Sensible Soccer
3- (Elite 2:) Frontier
4- Secret of Monkey Island

What's with the love for Xevious? That game was OK, but...really?

Honestly I really changed my mind on Fi with the remaster because they didn't make her interrupt your gameplay every 5 seconds, that drastically changed my views on her

Inverno89d ago

Technically she's in ToTK but obviously can't take any other form than the sword she was made into. Also the companion feature has been done plenty of times in Zelda, I don't think it'll add anything new. If anything should be brought back it should be the Minish.

Directionless Modern Zelda Should Return to its 3D Roots

Matt from We Game Daily writes "The Legend of Zelda series has gone in a different direction. One which, try as I have, I just can’t get on board with. Here is why I think Zelda should return to its 3D roots."

Amen! A good, tight, Zelda game with a focus on dungeons and puzzles. Let people have the new style Zelda if you gotta, but let us have the OoT style games too. That's not without precedent either, the handheld 2D Zelda's in the style of A Link to the Past etc have coexisted alongside the 3D Zelda's before

As much as I like BoTW, TotK, I need my traditional Zelda games as well, I could not endlessly play the open world Zelda games, plus it's harder to keep those fresher than the traditional games.

Eidolon120d ago (Edited 120d ago )

BotW was just as fresh to the franchise as OoT was. TokT was great but the next LoZ would have to move from that formula to be fresh again. There's only so much they can do with the hardware. I think they focused too much on making the world big instead impactful. I felt the world was sort of empty and repetitive in TotK, sure there was a lot to do but no more difference a Ubisoft game..

I wouldn't worry too much. Nintendo knows what they are doing.

Ristul120d ago

Wind Waker had a perfect balance of open world and a cool, well hand-crafted design. Maybe try to keep the open world but put in effort to make more memorable story driven quests and locations.

I like it would also be cool if some created Dragon Caesar in the game I would love to watch the two going at it.
