what's painful about punch-out 2009
>MG
>Doing okay
>FF
>Royalty
This isn't the late 00s anymore.
>Metal Gear
>doing okay
>sonic and mgs
>doing okay
>metal gear

Did you even play half of these games?
put snake in painful death
>Fzero
>PunchOut
>Painful Death
They died peacefully with good games.
They were simply abandoned and never returned to.
Castlevania however was a horrible last breath.
DK isnt healthy
Joker is very healthy.
FireEmblem is begrudgingly royalty these days
Snake died painfully.
it's like you never left the 00's m8
it sucks
Where's Yossi and Mr. Wario Ware?
persona is doing much more than "okay"
Nothing at all. The painful part is that Nintendo won't follow up on it.
You don't play these games.
>snake
>doing okay
Are you brain damaged?
Forgot to fix Snake
Poor son of a bitch had a hard life.
FF has a really popular MMO so it's pretty royal in that regard.
>Mega Man on Last breath.
We just got 4 collections + Mega Man 11 with X9 possibly on the horizon. Put him at doing okay.
Honestly, what the fuck has Pac-man got in the oast 10 years?
>Starfox
>Last Breath
>Mega Man 11
I'd say Last Breath or Suffering is right
He and Samus came back but still rehashing the same trash and problems as always
If Woomy has another hit game does she get promoted to royalty?
>MGS
>not painful death
>FF
>Bayo
>Donkey Kong
>Pokemon
>not suffering
>Animal Crossing
>not Healthy
>Extremely Healthy
Consistently getting big releases with big sales / promotion to back them up
>Healthy
Gets a big release every here and there, but is still often considered a very noteworthy title when it does happen, or just makes a lot of money regardless of quality
>Eternal Life Support
Despite a slew of mediocrity in past years, they will never die simply due to how iconic they are
Everything else should be self explainable
Tried my own spin, how yall feel about it?
>They died peacefully with good games.
You could almost argue Punch Out died peacefully (even though most expected a sequel by now) but not F-Zero. not when it's last hurrah was on a bombed platform and people can't even tell you what series Falcon is from
>DK isnt healthy
Sure it is. Returns and TF were decent hits. It was never a spinoff-crazy series except for that dark age with the Climber games, and it's likely to get a new game on the Switch.
>FireEmblem is begrudgingly royalty these days
Don't fall for the Smash shilling. It's a niche series at best. Normies don't know shit about it and it don't even sell as much as Kirby.
>Snake died painfully
Metal Gear as a series is going to be fine. Decent amount of people don't like the direction it's going in but that's besides the point. It hasn't been hit too hard yet.
user... 2009 was 10 years ago...
Star fox was literally never good. The best game in the series was 64, and even that game is pretty ass nowadays when there's much better games like ace combat to play. The gamecube and DS games were shit. 1 and 2 have aged like milk. The 3DS port was just "okay". The wii u game was dogshit. Fox at this point is basically just a melee meme.
Was Snake's death truly a painful one?
I mean the sickness (the journey) definitely was painful, but surely it can be argued that his final moments were at least peaceful?
I speak of both the character and the series
Kid Icarus Uprising was the best Star Fox game in years.
Final Fantasy is definitely not doing as well as its peers on this list. Metal Gear is dead. Samus has a pretty good game not too long ago, with another on the way. F-Zero and Punch-Out didn't die any worse than Mother or Kid Icarus. All four series has good games released and then just stopped.
Donkey Kong isn't in a bad place, but I dunno if I'd say it's a healthy series. Its future is 100% up in the air, it was basically dead for a long time until Retro gave it some love. We don't know if they intend to continue working on the series, when a new game will come out, or if it'll be even half as good as the last two if someone else gets their hands on it.
>FF
>Royalty
After XIII and XV, it's only "Doing Okay"
Imagine if retro gave wario land some love.
>Castlevania died painfully
What is the Netflix series
Anons, a new mg is probably in dev right now, all the staff recruited in 2016 wasn't for survive. Murata also still is at Konami with rising writer and both didn't worked on Survive. Donna Burke also teased a new song.
Kojima may be gone but a good game can still be made for sure. And Survive was just a cheap spin off like the acid games, thinking it was a big main game is retarded.
a painful death
This is fact and you can't debate it
Snake himself was an amazing person and deserved to live longer, but at least he died happy. Can't say the same for the series, though, kek FUCK BIG BOSS.
11 is one of the best games in the classic series, with more new ideas than 9 and 10, and sold well given the series' history.
>not when it's last hurrah was on a bombed platform and people can't even tell you what series Falcon is from
That game is considered to be the peak of the series + it still had an anime and one more GBA game afterwards. That's not a painful death, a painful death is when it dies in some horrible manner like a terrible reboot or a complete blunder like MGSV. No one would say Contra died painfully even though its last few games didn't sell so well, because those last games were fucking amazing and left the fans pleased.
>It's a niche series at best.
It's doing about as well as all the other mid-tier popularity JRPGs like Persona and Xenoblade, especially with the gacha shit, so your asspain about the Smash roster is irrelevant. That's just sales though, the upcoming game looks horrendous and might just kill the momentum they've built up.
>MGS4 was the denouement
>still got a 5 anyway
>it was released unfinished after exceeding schedule and budget
>Kojima was fired over this
>MG Survive was made to try and squeeze some profit out of the MGS5 debacle.
No peace here, brother.
>a successful western adaptation of a video game is somehow a painful death
I find it adorable when shitposters reveal in their own posts something that tips everyone off to the fact that they never played certain games. I’m going to bet you’ve MAYBE played 64 and none of the other ones, but you have a chip on your shoulder for some retarded reason.
my gf mains ridley
I play Ken, Richter, Ness, and Isabelle
What does that make me?
Star Fox died painfully. Punch Out died fairly peacefully. A Punch Out!! wii sequel is definitely on the top of my wishlist, but I'm okay with the series ending on such a 10/10 installment. Kid Icarus Uprising 2 is also a big possibility.
cope. The SNES games were laggy pieces of unplayable shit and the DS had that dumbass tactical shit and was only known for its weirdass storylines especially the one where Krystal cucks fox. Adventures was just a mediocre Zelda game that had nothing to do with star fox, and assault was only a good game 30% of the time.
I main Mac
>western adaptation isn't a painful death
Reminder that if you're not in blue you don't belong on Yea Forums.
My top 6 most played characters are all in different tiers.
>Kid Icarus Uprising 2 is also a big possibility.
A new Kid Icarus is possible, but Uprising 2? I don't think so. Sakurai said he's done with the series, anybody else who steps up will probably do their own thing with it.
Good Boy Tier
Sonic is still alive because Sonic fans, in addition to their million other fucked up fetishes, are masochists with a long fucking fuse. That it took Rise of Lyric for them to put their foot down said it all.
I can't for Star Fox to finally die for good.
This garbage series is a cancer for Nintendo and would be dead for years now, if Fox wasn't Miyamoto's Furrsona.
Literally the most overrated Nintendo IP, even mother fucking Sonic is better.
>Bayo anything but Chad
Don't even need to look at the rest to know it's wrong.
>gf
>Kid Icarus Uprising 2 is also a big possibility.
not without sakurai
I don't understand why you would put xenoblade or final fantsay as struggling. As much as you didn't like Xenoblade 2 or Final Fantasy XV they both did great commercially and Xenoblade 2 brought a relatively unknown JRPG game into the normie light. Also Square Enix is milking the MMOs to death so there's no reason to say either series is struggling even if you didn't like the recent games.
>irrefutable
>Metal Gear doing ok after survive
>Persona not a healthy series despite 2 announcements in the past 2 days
>DK healthy despite no new games in 5 years

Why is Sakurai so fucking autistic when it comes to making sequel ?
I know using an IP to death is bad, but there's a midle ground between that and waiting 10 fucking years to make a proper following to a beloved game.
Why does Uprising need a sequel? It's a very complete game. It's normal for somebody to want to make a new game instead of something derivative.
While MG Survive was definitely a spit in the face to something, did anyone even care enough to be bothered by it?
I sure didn't, but I'm not everyone. I try to look at MGS5 as what it was, and while not great, was fun, and it had enough content/story within it for someone to be able to write the series off for themselves as just simply finished.
Snake living through games like the way Captain Falcon does seems like an okay way to to continue to celebrate the series.
Though Fzero at least needs another shot at a game before truly going out like Snake has
F
>Healthy series
>Bayonetta
Funny joke.
these are always the worst tier lists
TO FIX THE FUCKING MELEE CONTROLS
FUCK EVERY TIME I TRIED TO USE A MELEE ATTACK BUT THE GAME REGISTERED IT AS A RANGED INPUT
FUCK EVERY TIME I TRIED TO USE RANGED ATTACK BUT THE GAME REGISTERED IT AS A MELEE INPUT
FUCK EVERY TIME MY MELEE ATTACK LOCKED ON TO ONE OF THE ENEMY'S SHOTS AND I GO FLYING OFF TRYING TO SMACK A LASER
FUCK EVERY TIME I TRIED TO RUN AWAY FROM AN ENEMY NUT JUST ENDED UP SPINNING AROUND THEM
AND FUCK EVERY TIME A TREASURE CHEST DROPS A POWER I ALREADY HAVE, AWARDING ME WITH LITERALLY NOTHING
why the fuck was Becky and Stacy so accurate
I'm a ROB main so I agree with this chart I guess
My pet after I ninja pull in Classic
I hope Star Fox gets an amazing series revival, Star Fox is fun as fuck, and you're a kill joy faggot.
tbf sonic is doing WAY better now than he was in the 2000s
