i just completed zelda: majora's mask (ridiculously easy bossfight!)... and i have to say: what a crap ending! :-s
All the endings of nintendo-games on the N64 have been really dissapointing (mario64, papermario, ocarina of time...). All those games are absolutely fantastic, but the endings suck.
In the good old SNES-days they used to make special pictures or animations for the endings... but on n64 they just use the same old graphics as in the game itself... extremely unsatisfying.
Anyone know of any N64-games with a beautiful and satisfying ending? And how does sunshine-mario end? (if anyone here has completed it already)... or pikmin for that matter... any nintendo-game really :-)

Mario Sunshine's ending sucked almost as bad as the game itself
I thought Ocarina had a good ending! I gave up on Majora tho, it was hella pants =oD

Half-Life's ending was a big letdown after such a great game. That's probably the worst ending I've ever played through.

why did you finnish it if it sucked so bad? ;-)
And yeah, i finished that entire part of the game on the moon it one try! It was crazy... the only slightly difficult part was the dungeon where you had to roll as a goron across those narrows ledges... but you can't loose any hearts if you fall off!
And the bossfight... i just walked up to that thing and hit it a couple of times... and that was it... how dissapointing.
Ganondorf in Ocarina of time was alot harder to beat!

I can't actually think of a game I've played with a good ending (and I've been playing for 15 years).... maybe Super Mario... something

heh :-p
Would you believe this is the first time i've ever heard anyone say something negative about mario sunshine!
(still looks forward to it).
Super Mario Bros 2 (NES) had an amazing ending. That final picture of Mario sleeping looked great. Unlike anything i've ever seen on the NES.
And if i remember correctly you could also see the words 'the end" being written onto the screen... it was really great for it's time! I was amazed when i first saw it.
Can't remember any of the other mario's endings though... probably they weren't very special.

Yeah I was gonna mention that one, that had a cool ending. Plus the bosses in it were always quite tough. Well I thought so until I played it on ZSNES and finished the fucker on my second go. Oh well.
And Mario Sunshine is OK - it just doesn't advance on Mario 64 much, you don't get to fight properly (mostly use your water gun to waste people), the camera is pretty fuckin ropey and it's so FRUSTRATING you'll want to KILL THE WORRRRLLLLDDDD

-And I agree with worski about Sunshine. I'd also like to add that the theme of the game is a major turn-off.. If I wanted obnoxiously bright colors I'd drop 3 tabs of acid and chew on a box of crayons.

you should play Conker's Bad Fur Day... it consists almost entirely out of such parts ;-)
Easily the most frustrating game i've ever played. But also very very funny... i kept playing just to see what would happen next. But all the while i was screaming at the television and nearly wrecked the controller... damn... i hate that game!

Actually the holiday-theme of mario sunshine doesn't seem too great to me either. I'll probably still by it... you know, because well.. it's mario :-D
And i'm hoping the gameplay will be so great i'll forget all about the holiday-theme ;-)
And what's wrong with the camera? Did they change the system from mario64? I thought it worked excellent there!

The theme doesn't really ruin the game... I thought it was bearable. The camera almost ruins it though! You use the second joystick (on the right) to control it... and it just doesn't work properly when there are buildings around. Oh to have Lakitu back...

I loved the part where you had to fight the big pile of shit that was singing an opera :-p
So funny i almost forgot to fight it. I particularly loved the way it warmed it's voice (mi mi mi mi mi) before it started singing ;-)
All the movie-parodies were cool also. But for a game that funny, the ending was rather sober to say the least. They should have saved the best jokes for the ending damnit! Have some reward for all your troubles.
I'm still having nightmares about having to swim through those sewers with the rotating knives... ouch

I was quite impressed with GC Zelda when I first saw it running (unlike 99% of people) but I dunno... I've sort of gone off the idea of it now... especially after Majora's.. that game was just complete shite, it wasn't fun to play, it made my life a misery! And despite what Shigsy says, I think everyone really would have liked to see a dark as fuck adult Zelda game

Mario Sunshine is awesome, and I've come to LOVE the camera! It's second nature to me now. The game makes me want to piss constantly, though. So much water. It also makes my mouth crave sugar for some reason.
A wicked ending is Chrono Trigger... you actually walk around a castle and talk to the Squaresofy Developing team, they hint at ''Chrono Trigger 2'' and say other crazy shit.

Pikmin is DEFINATELY worth it. It is fairly short -but- the gameplay is so enthralling you'll play it over and over again. I haven't had so much fun playing a game in a looooong time. It's probably one of my top 5 favorite games of all time.. It has definately earned it's place in the Nintendo Hierarchy i.e. Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Starfox... If you decide to buy it and you don't like it, I'll personally refund your money.

Let me know what you think.
Starfox Adventures is another good game that ends all too soon. I just read that they're making a new Starfox R-Wing based game for the GC; a proper sequel to the Nintendo 64 one.

"especially after Majora's.. that game was just complete shite, it wasn't fun to play, it made my life a misery!"
ehr... really? What did you think about Ocarina Of Time then? Majora's Mask felt to me like an improved version of OOT! I had incredibly much fun playing it. Link is a great character, and all the worlds were much better designed than in OOT. It took me a couple of plays to get used to the three-day-cycle though... sort of annoying at first, but in the end i just loved it :-)
And i have always thought (and still think) the GC-zelda looks amazing, like a dream come true. Who'd want a dark adult version of Zelda when you can play this instead? It reminds me very much of NES & SNES episodes of zelda! (and that's a good thing imo)

ocarina of time vs. majora's mask... i definitely prefer ocarina --Â mostly because of the ambiance.
the ambiances of the two games are really different; when i saw the first images of mm, i thought it really could have been a dream i'd have had if i dreamed of ocarina of time, you know, how dreams distort - replace - ??? things... this isn't necessary a bad thing but i really prefer ocarina of time, it's warmer and i got more into the ambiance of it than in mm.
and in oot i haven't found zones where i was stuck for days and days (except one room i haven't found in the temple of water), getting mad while trying to solve it -- and this is definitely a good thing.
besides oot had more temples.

Yeah i see your point. Sometimes Majora's Mask does feel like a weird distorted version of Ocarina. (i thought especially the jungle-level was really weird... strange colors). I see what you mean about the ambiance. Ocarina had that "magical kindom" feeling more than Majora's Mask.
But on the other hand, i thought Hyrule Field was very dull... just a large open space with not much happening. Whenever i think about Ocarina... i think about endlessly long walks from kokiri forrest all the way to the palace.
Termina Field is much more exciting AND it has the classical Zelda music playing :-)
I also loved the fact that those annoying gold skultulas were only on two locations, and not all over the place like in OOT.
And yeah, Majora's Mask had less temples, but you had to do much more inbetween the temples... which i loved, especially helping all the people in your notebook.
I wish it would have been the first zelda game on N64 :-) That way it wouldn't seem like a strange version of ocarina. I feel ocarina has a nicer ambiance, but majora's mask is better balanced.

hm... for me it was the other way around. I found Majora's Mask to be more frustration-free than ocarina. I never once had that feeling of not knowing what to do next... it was always clear. Maybe I have just been lucky in stumbling on the solutions this time? I got stuck on OOT many many times

nope, i don't even thinks it's been released over here yet. America is always faster with the releases :-/
(altough the game 'doshin the giant' apparently won't be released in america at all! Only in japan and in europe... hehe, don't know much about it though).
In fact, i don't even have a game cube yet! I'm waiting for a Game Cube + Mario Sunshine set to go on sale. And maybe another price-drop? ;-) Altough it's probably too soon for that.
I can't imagine buying a nintendo-console without a mario-game at the same time... it's a tradition that goes way back to when i got my first NES + mario bros.... ahh... memories memories...
