>>713504532 (OP)A lot of Nintendo IPs had their most unique entry here. People have a hard time outgrowing first impressions, so I can see autists being hellbent on arguing why the Fludd is the definitve Mario experience over smooth movement options and better camera found in later entries.
Melee also kinda fucked up a lot of Nintendo fanbases retroactively.
Other than that, pretty good console and pretty good generation. I was fortunate enough to have both the PS2 and Gamecube at the same time, while having a close friend with an Xbox.
