It's kinda related to the best intro but for some old games that couldn't play FMVs and such, sometimes their title screen is just awesome.

One example is Pokemon Sapphire, the title music is good, you see Kyogre in the background with its red stripes flashing and the Press Start flashes on, waiting for you.

Who could forget MegamanX's TS. The music beats on while the X is being drawn. Sometimes a good title screen just pumps me up to play.

So which TS make that effect on you?

The new Fight Club game has some nice title screen/interface stuff going on. I'll hold my tongue about the rest of it, though.

Ace Combat 5 has a very pleasantly minimalist introductory interface.

DFS.

Super Mario 64 still has the best. It's one of the few that gave you something to play with, without worrying about collecting a score or anything videogame-ish.

 

[Sriram]

I would say the most memorable for me would be OOT. The music, link on epona riding across the field, and that sound when you press start. Its just so good.
Recently, pikmin 2 had a cool title screen, with all the stuff going on and all the different seasonal backgrounds.

Actually one of the worst in my mind. (EDIT: I should clarify that - in the worst of notable games I can immediately remember. I'm sure if I spent a few minutes I could dig up any number of far worse ideas)

ZOE1/ZOE2 have pretty cool title screens, and one of the Red Faction games has a really stunning Mars topographical look.

Metroid Prime has an awesome title screen.
The micro view of the Metroid is slick.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Shin Megami Tensai Nocturn's title screen is pretty fucking badass.

 

[mattx5]

Mario 64, Zelda OoT and Metroid Prime are all badass. Wind Waker was pretty cool too.

Thinking back further, Mario Kart on SNES had an awesome TS, with all the racers duking it out, side scrolling style

 

[GDJustin]

Super Metroid's title screen MUSIC is the best... does that count?

MGS2 demo

MGS2 demo

Wow, I had never played the demo of it. That looks a bit like the title for the first Metal Gear Solid for PS1!

 

[Coin Return]

i spent like 5 min just messing around.

Oh and Resident Evil, when the dog jumped up at the guy and there was a stupid blood splatter. And when you hit start the guy said "Resident Evil..." is a rapist voice.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

Metroid Prime has an awesome title screen.
The micro view of the Metroid is slick.

I'm not exactly in love with Metroid Prime, but I would totally agree with that. I love the position change that takes place after each menu option.

 

[Sagitario]

I've always loved the title screen from the Zelda games... (specially Majora and TWW)...

Tales of Symphonia title screen is beautiful...

 

[LakeEarth]

 

[Deg]

Metroid Prime

 

[king zell]

OoT + Metroid Prime + SM64 + ToS

too many .. can't decide

 

[Myoclonic Jerk]

Metroid Prime

 

[Joeholley]

Prime or Mega Man 2. Still love how he gets the hat and flies off the screen when you hit start.

 

[Kobun Heat]

Actraiser.

 

[teepo]

oot and prime.

 

[Pfucata]

I don't know if it was #1, but definitely Super Mario World for the SNES. (and for the record, that was the only Nintendo console I owned)

 

[ArcadeStickMonk]

Metroid Prime

I mean I really dig Bloodrayne's with the sketchy music and bad film affects over the shot of Rayne's mouth, wide with ectasy as blood drips past her lips.....

But just hearing that Prime title music instantly makes me eager to devote a week to it... again.

 

[LakeEarth]

Are there any pics of the Echoes title screen yet? I wonder if they try to top Prime's title screen or anything.

 

[cvxfreak]

biohazard zero for the GameCube. Not RE0.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Halo.

did you play the demo?

 

[Shads]

I've always been impressed with Twisted Metal: Black's title screen. It felt like a DVD menu and I loved the camera work when navigating through the menus and it feels very Se7en inspired.

 

[LakeEarth]

did you play the demo?

 

[Sagitario]

This is the screen from disc 1... the one from disc 2 is better (basically the same, but at night).

 

[Stryder]

Metroid Prime, even if just for the music alone

 

[SolidSnakex]

Shin Megami Tensai Nocturn's title screen is pretty fucking badass.

Winner!

 

[Anyanka]

Twisted Metal Black.

 

[spookyfish]

Actraiser.

I'll second that ....

 

[Dave Long]

Gungrave. Awesome.

 

[Mashing]

Metroid Prime came immediately to mind... just all around awesomeness from that one.

 

[Sullichin]

Metroid Prime by far.

 

[SvelteBoy]

Halo. Best opening theme yet.

 

[op_ivy]

halo 2. by so far its not even funny
