Yeah, SMB3 didnt poop on SMW
Granted, it was better, it just wasn't by a large margin at all.

I honestly think Super Mario World is the better game, even if Super Mario Bros. 3 has more stuff, and did it first. I can see arguments the other way, but I'm pretty set in my opinion here.

SMW is a meh rehash of SMB3. Come at me, bro.
Seriously though, SMW isn't a bad game, but I've never found it to be a particularly interesting game. SMB3 kind of did the same thing already, and did it better in my opinion, and by the time SMW hit the market in the west, Sonic 1 was already out and sported faster gameplay, graphics that IMO were, and still are, better than SMW, music that was better than anything I'd ever heard in a Mario game (Sonic 1-3&K still shit all over Mario soundtracks IMO), and a protagonist that was way cooler than Mario. SMW was just left as an OK but ultimately kinda forgettable game that was bested by both its immediate predecessor and its closest competitor.

World is definitely superior to 3, but both are amazing games. World is a 9, and 3 is...I dunno, 8, maybe 8.8 8.5?

People that prefer World to Bros. 3 are like people that prefer 64 to Galaxy. Wrong.

Er, actually, I've never played Super Mario 64. I didn't get an N64 until Majora's Mask came out, so I ended up playing OoT at my friend's house, and my cousin who owned SM64 never let me play it because he was sorta spoiled rotten and rather bossy. So I ended up not playing it at all.
This week hasn't let me have room to breathe, lol.

Galaxy is a better game than 64, I guess. But 64 is far more memorable. I can recount a bunch of shit from 64, but can't for the life of me remember anything about Galaxy. I also had less fun with Galaxy as well, so...yeah.
*hasn't played more than a few hours of either*
Majora's Mask for the sidequests and you can be a Zora.

64 is by far a more important game than Galaxy (it's definitely one of the most important games ever made), but personally I've never liked 64 at all because it just drops you into the world and goes 'go do whatever the fuck you want, I don't care'. I prefer Mario games to be more linearly progressive.
As for Zelda, those games just bore me stiff. I did enjoy Darksiders though, despite its awful character design.

Majora's Mask, all the way! One of my favourite games of the forever!
Next question: Final Fantasy IV or Final Fantasy VI?*
*Professor Beef has to vote for one of them.

And Beef doesn't like either of them. Hahahaha.
Anyway, I just noticed that Big the Cat has been excluded from that avatar list, so I suppose Sega really did ditch him. This could be a good thing or a bad thing for a theoretical Sonic Adventure 3. Unless people really really liked playing his section.
Well, while we're on the subject, why do you find them the most intriguing?qq more said:

Majora's Mask all day, erryday over HOoT.
This is all because I sent your voter cards to 123 Fake Street, isn't it!?
I guess if I HAD to choose, I would choose 6.

I would feel uncharacteristically sorry for SEGA if Episode 2 really has bombed for them. It's by no means one of the great platformers of this gen, but it's a vastly better game than Episode 1 which didn't deserve any of the praise it got... Or what could be construed as high praise for a Sonic game at any rate.
EDIT: I have no idea what these rankings are for BUT HERE WE GO:
SMB3/SMW2:YI/DKC2, SMG2, TLoZ:WW, TWEWY

If you want people to buy your sequel, don't botch the first game.

I think this statement may blow the minds of every GAF member, but I've never played OoT from the first visit with Zelda and onwards. I've also never played Majoras Mask either. To be honest, Wind Waker is what introduced me to Zelda, with it's nice cell-shaded graphics, sea travel, dungeons, etc.

I got in with the NES games some, at at friend's place, but Link to the Past was the first one I owned. And then I played the hell out of Link's Awakening, which was basically as much of a SNES Zelda as possible on the original GB.
Ocarina of Time... I've played through it so many times, up until some point partway through Link being an adult, and then "something" happens. I get side-tracked. I lose my save file. I get stuck in the Water Temple (twice) and don't want to sit down with a Youtube and try to figure out where exactly I'm stuck. A new version is set to come out (Collector's Disc, Master Quest Disc, 3DS) that someone's told me I should play instead... I've seen the later parts of the game in videos, just never gone through them. I have the 3DS version, but I'm so impossibly sick of the early parts by now...
Majora's Mask I've only played about halfway through.
Wind Waker I totally cleaned up, and honestly... I wasn't impressed with it the way some people were. That's a completely different can of worms, though. I did like Tetra, which the game actually goes out of the way to make her pretty useless later on.
Twilight Princess was goddamn awesome, though. My favorite 3D Zelda, although I admit I haven't gotten far into Skyward Sword.
Oh, and Galaxy 1>SMB3>Galaxy 2>SMW>SM64>Sunshine

...Nope, my brain is still intact. The only Zelda game I've finished was Minish Cap. It was one of the first 3 I played.
The second I played was Four Swords on GBA.

First one I played was LTTP, but being the superficial 6 year old I was I didn't get into the series until I played Link's Awakening since it had more of a plot. Even though from a technical stand-point LTTP is a masterpiece out of the 2D Zelda's (and nowadays I do love it) but LA is the one pre-3D I feel the most attached to. Still dig OoT, MM and the other 3D Zelda's but after replaying them WW is usually what sticks with me the most, while LA sticks with me out of the 2D ones. It's probably more than a coincidence both of those games share a lot of themes and settings.
And over 30 hours spent in Binding of Isaac after only owning it for two weeks suggests I would be all over a new overhead Zelda adventure

Is today opposite day or something? Super Mario 64 is better than Galaxy, even though Galaxy tidied the mechanics up quite nicely. I much prefer the nonlinear level design sensibilities, honestly.
Ocarina has the more interesting mainline quest, Majora's has the more interesting side missions. In a pinch I'd probably say I prefer Ocarina, but Majora's is a very very close second just due to how different it is.
What was your first clue?

I've actually only played three Zelda games for more than 5 minutes: OoT 3D, Link's Awakening, and the first game. Dunno why, but Zelda games bore the hell out of me.

I suppose if I ask about your favourite Persona game, mainline Phantasy Star game (ie: the numbered ones), Genso Suikoden game, or Fire Emblem game, I'd barely get responses, eh? 
what's worse is that i can hear it in my head

This is what happens when Sega doesn't give us Sonic Generations DLC to talk about.
Probably gonna read them tomorrow since I've got the day off.

Never played a Persona game, and don't really care for FE. Suikoden II's my favorite Suikoden game though, and Phantasy Star IV is undoubtedly my favorite PS game, period. (Numbered or otherwise)
