What is your favorite video game franchise?

I'm a Zelda fan. The Legend of Zelda has been a big influence on me, especially since it was what got me into archery (even before Hunger Games rolled around and then suddenly having a bow made you popular). I've been playing each game ever since I got introduced to The Wind Waker at my cousins' house. That one is still my favorite game overall (Breath of the Wild is a different beast all together, so that one is a very close second).

And it's not just the games either. The Zelda manga are really great too. I just recently purchased the first edition of the Twilight Princess manga and... well, it certainly is a LOT darker than the game. There are things in there that would've bumped up the game's age rating from T for teen to M for mature. It's still awesome though.

 

I grew up on Halo. My dad introduced it to me and I was instantly hooked.

It's not just the games either. Halo has miniseries, a ton of books and comics that are awesome.

 

Star Wars. Just any Star Wars game I take a shine too. From KOTOR to SW:TOR. From Battlefront to Republic Commando. I love them all, even the unwanted ones. CoughEABattlefrontCough

 

Ace Attorney franchise
Also Dangan Ronpa
Also Animal Crossing
I love all three of them ;w;

 

@Hraesvelgr I'm also a fan of MH (..if my avatar, which needs a change, didn't point that out already). I'm still pretty new to it, with only 4U and Generations on the 3DS, though.

One of my favorites is Spyro, as in, the original trilogy and the Legend of Spyro trilogy.

 

I'm a big fan of a lot of franchises (mostly Nintendo), but the one I would have to pick would probably be the Mario & Luigi series (though that's not really a franchise itself). Bowser's Inside Story was the first one I played and is still one of my favorite games to date. I also have a bit of a story with it; I first got it somewhere around the holidays and played it a lot over that winter break. But, on the last day I had off from school, I ended up breaking my DS as I was in the middle of the boss fight with the Wiggler. I went probably about two years without a DS or anything until I bought a 2DS on another winter break, to which I immediately started playing the game again. And now I always am reminded when I replay the game when I get to that battle "Hey, this is where that two year gap was!"

I also do have fond memories of Super Smash Bros. Brawl, as that is essentially the game that got me into video games. And I still love that franchise to death (even though they pitched the story mode from Brawl...)

 

Besides Pokémon:

--Super Mario Bros.
--The Legend of Zelda
--Final Fantasy
--Dragon Quest
--and many more!

 

Besides Pokémon?
Sonic the Hedgehog
Kirby

been playing those two franchises for as long as i can remember. probably been playing sonic for longer than Pokémon to be honest haha. also been playing kirby for a long while too but i haven't played as many games in the franchise as i have for Pokémon or sonic. still enjoy it a lot though!

 

Golden Sun, Ace Attorney, and Etrian Odyssey, in descending order - those are franchises that all hold a special place for me, as I find the games perennially beautiful and entertaining. Now that I've also found out about Ghost Trick, I fold that into the AA franchise because it's made by the same person, and is made in much the same style (and humour).

For the former two, I make it a point to replay through the games on a regular basis. For the last one, that's harder to do because the games are so large and extensive, so instead, I savour the experience as I go, and consider the replays later - since it's more about the journey and the memories than anything else, at least for me. Also, the characters, music, and environments are all very pretty.

 

Gah.. hard to choose. Pokémon aside, I also really adore Animal Crossing and it's one of my favorite types of games. Relaxing without any competitive aspect (that can stress me out) and I can customize my look, collect items, and converse with cute animals. Hard to go wrong there, especially for someone who is a casual gamer nowadays like me.

aaand I know you said to pick one but I also love Harvest Moon for similar reasons and feel it deserves a mention. ♡ Nice to play at my own pace and in easygoing game environments that don't force you to spend six hours grinding lol.

 

Beside Pokémon,I Like Kingdom Hearts,Fire Emblem,Sonic,Kirby And Yoshi.
(But In My Imagination Universal,Kirby And Yoshi Is Replace By Another Trending Games Of Last Time,Angry Birds.Up To 5 World Of My Imagination Universal Are From A Video Game Franchise.

 

I've really been wanting to get into Harvest Moon! Do you have any recommendations as to a good one to start with?

 

It's funny you mention that. I think Dark Dawn is actually the entry point for a fair amount of people into the series now, given its 2010 release date (as opposed to 2001/2003 for the first two). I started playing the series in 2005, so I managed to go in order - and was hype for a third game long before it was ever announced. (I'm pretty sure after I finished the 2nd game I waited for the 3rd one - and now I'm waiting for a 4th one, which may never happen, but I can dream.)

How'd you pick up copies of the other two games, if I may ask? Both of them are on the Wii U Virtual Console, so they thankfully aren't hard to find anymore.

 

I always thought Zelda was my favorite video game franchise. Now I'm not so sure. Definitely is still one of my favorites, alongside Metroid, Luigi's Mansion (which became a series thanks to Dark Moon), Pokémon, MegaMan, and Mother/EarthBound.

 

I can't choose just one. Mario, Zelda, Kingdom Hearts, Dynasty Warriors Gundam... there's so many to choose from. ;_;
