Nintendo went a step further in promotion of the game by offering a limited edition console bundle in Europe. Now, that bundle will be released in the U.S. as seen in a recent magazine ad.
Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.
Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?
Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise
Thought the same - very bizarre!
RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.
Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.
DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.
AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.
I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.
Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?
I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.
"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.
In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
After becoming acquainted with the colorful cast of adults in Fire Emblem Awakening, the story soon turns into a tale of time travel involving the children of all these characters.
Are these the best Fire Emblem first-gen characters? Fire Emblem Awakening is not only filled with tactical battles and intense strategizing, but also colorful characters who sometimes fit into this medieval world and sometimes seem better suited to a slice-of-life anime.
The awesome limited edition that so many of the Japanese missed out on... would be an instant purchase if it was a XL 3DS
argghhh
I'd trade in my 3DSXL for that if it was a 3DSXL as well, too bad. On a higher note I'm super excited for the new Fire Emblem ^^
Yea I like my Black 3DS. If it was XL I'd buy it day one.
I'll need to upgrade to XL eventually once Smash Brothers is released. It will almost be a must.
What angers me the most is that they didn't release this limited edition bundle when the 3DS got launched. I mean come on. I already have a 3DS, and I do want this one too, but I obviously wouldn't want to pay the money again, it would be so much better if they released this the first time, rather than now.
