that's a drat fine game in its own right but it's not on the level of Earthbound. music isn't as good, enemies aren't as good, the game is much shorter, and i honestly prefer earthbound's lighthearted story to mother 3's constant emotional gut punches (although drat if that ending isn't cry-worthy)

Best overall game in terms of how much fun I had for the longest stretch of time would be Smash Bros 4.

My favorite game of all time is probably Final Fantasy VI even though I didn't like any other game in the series.

In terms of there being absolutely no boring parts and I always want to replay, and it having the greatest ending in any video game ever I'd say Earthbound.

i found Mother 3's music way better than Earthbound's, to be honest. also i prefer emotional gutpunches (see: my av).

link's awakening is on the list of weird games where instead of the handheld games being watered down trash it's as good as it gets

also on that list: the two towers and return of the king games for gba are actually better on gba than on gamecube or any other console

witcher 3 obvious answer but i like driving this poo poo towards handhelds before they're forgotten, rip

It's amazing to me that Link's Awakening is a Game Boy game. Super Mario Land looks like something you can play on a wristwatch from the 80s and Link's Awakening looks almost like an SNES game. And the music and sound effects are fantastic.

Anyway most Zelda games are poo poo but A Link to the Past, A Link Between Worlds, and Link's Awakening are loving incredible. The rest can be skipped.

While I think the Earthbound fan community is a bit obsessive, I totally get it. The game really is more or less perfect. I can't think of a single spot when I'm bored playing it. Even though FFVI is my favorite game, there's PLENTY of incredibly boring parts in the game.

I think the most amazing thing about Earthbound is the ending. I don't think I am spoiling anything here but it's the only game I can think of where when you beat the game, there's still stuff to do. It isn't "over". As a matter of fact, you can "play" the ending as long as you want. It's so, so loving cool and I have no idea why I've never really seen it in any other game. Compare that to something like Link to the Past and the only thing left to do once you beat it is just keep beating Ganon over and over again.

Mother 3 was good but it isn't even on the same planet as Earthbound. Honestly I didn't even know what the gently caress was going on in the last hour of Mother 3.

In which case the answer is Doom

The new Doom is also pretty good. I'm playing it right now and I just killed the Cyberdemon

Old Doom holds up pretty well if you run one of those high-res programs

The creator is apparently an rear end in a top hat but Brutal Doom owns face
