I wonder why Tekken 3 of all things… The only difference between entries in that series is slighty better graphics each new release (don’t get me wrong, I love Tekken something fierce). The gameplay they established in the first one has carried on for over ten years now. Perhaps I’ll have to read some reviews of this game to get some insight. :-P
Ocarina is sooo overrated. It would have been a great game if it hadn’t stolen everything about it from Link’s Awakening.
It is upsetting that there are no games prior the PS/N64 era.
I think Tekken 3 represents the series at it’s creative peak. I’m not a big fan of the series but I remember 3 more vividly than the others.
I agree with Lutraphobic. Most of my favorites only got respentation through sequels. SMB3 ftw!
