This is some weird mental gymnastics to get those as a trilogy.
I pick Super Mario Bros, SMB3 and SMW as best 2D trilogy.
...You yourself picked Metroid 1, 3 and 4, why can't he pick Mario 1, 3 and 4?But the Super Mario Bros is already recognised as a trilogy. You can't just put Mario World there.
Yeah Fusion is essentially a 2D OM prototype. Space ship setting, 'authorising' abilities, Adam, talky talky talky. The only real difference is voice acting and expectations.I have retroactively disliked Fusion because it planted the seeds for the disgrace that was Other M. The whole backstory with the Adam AI always seemed unnecessary and badly written but Other M took it to a whole other level of crappyness.
I have to admit that it the fight against the Omega Metroid was awesome and caught me off guard at the time.
Why leave out Metroid 2? It's a lot better than Fusion, which feels it belongs to another series.
Another vote for Ace Attorney though.
Nah.While I played Metroid Zero Mission, I couldn't stop thinking that, if it wasn't a Nintendo game, the praise for it would have been much different. There's been some time since I played it, but it always seemed like a lesser entry in the series. Super Metroid and Fusion, on the other side, are much better games imo
The bad mouthing of zwñero mission in this thread is disconcerting, its a freaking amazing game, a 2d masterpice, and i love it more tha the other 2, and thats already difficult to accomplish because i absolutely love the other 2.
Nah.
My favourite of the 3 is zero mission, ans y played super and fusion first
What...one can't just discount Metroid 2 and make up a trilogy.
Thank you! :)You tell em. I was really impressed by all three.
Nice avatar, lol
Zero Mission is a good game but way too short. Its so easy to finish.Zero Mission is the best game in the entire series, hands down.
He wasnt on any directional part of Metroid 2. If you count the remake Samus Returns though is 4 games, as he was executive producer in that and its obvious it has his fingerprints all over it.
If we're talking masterclass 2D trilogies here, I'm surprised the Gargoyle's Quest trilogy hasn't been mentioned:
Gargoyle's Quest (Game Boy)
Gargoyle's Quest II (NES)
Demon's Crest (SNES)
Each game is among the most polished games on their respective console (Especially notable in the case of the first Gargoyle's Quest; Foor as eaely in the GB's lifespan as it was, it's a more polished and mechanically sound game than some of the platform's later releases), have excellent audio/visual design, iterate on its formula in meaningful ways (Though GQ2 admittedly leans a bit more into being a retread of the first game), and most importantly, didn't overstay it's welcome. Demon's Crest more or less represents the absolute peak of the formula they built up to that point for the series and served as a perfect way to cap things off.
My man!If we're talking masterclass 2D trilogies here, I'm surprised the Gargoyle's Quest trilogy hasn't been mentioned:

Each game is among the most polished games on their respective console (Especially notable in the case of the first Gargoyle's Quest; For as early in the GB's lifespan as it was, it's a more polished and mechanically sound game than some of the platform's later releases), have excellent audio/visual design, iterate on its formula in meaningful ways (Though GQ2 admittedly leans a bit more into being a retread of the first game), and most importantly, didn't overstay it's welcome.

Yeah but it was made by a Spanish studio. That's why I wasn't too keen on including it
