Title: Favorite Videogame Intros?
Post by: azure on July 26, 2016, 01:33:30 pm
Heyo VGC, big fan of intros to games that get me pumped to play, or are just enjoyable to watch. Wanted to see some of the communities favorites as well.

No way I could list all the intros I like, so I'll start off with a few:

Best intro ever.

Popful Mail (Sega CD)
How can you not love this?

Super Metroid (Super Nintendo)
Just those first few seconds into the title screen. Spooky excellence!

Last Blade 2 (Neo Geo)
Seeing an intro like this on a system that came out before the SNES was amazing.

(Serious answer: Nier, Soul Calibur II, the Kingdom Hearts games, Silent Hill, and Parasite Eve have some of my favorites. I'm a sucker for horribly aged FMV.)

Wild Arms 3.

I didn't really care for the intro in our version of Wild ARMs 3, but the Japanese version was great.

Tales as a series should be listed, ha.

Yeah, the series has some great intros. Of course, there are some that I skip as soon as I'm able to. Tales of Eternia and Tales of the Tempest come to mind.

One of my personal favourites will always be the intro to Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When I got this game as a kid, I already was a pretty big Nintendo fanboy. I never heard of Smash at that point until my dad got it for me. And to then see that intro, with all those characters all looking so cool,with that music, in one of the best-looking games I had ever seen at that point, it really made a huge impression on me.

I could literally spend all day listing game intros but I'll do my best to whittle it down to a few favourites. No more than one for a series. Goddamn this'll be hard.


Nearly any of Tales' openings can go here, I have no idea which is my favourite so I went with Abyss because why not.

I'm going to stop now before I fill up the entire site. If we could use spoiler tags there would probably be ten times this many.
Edit: Sod it, there are other openings I love too much to leave out so I'll just link them so they don't take up space. Mostly from the same serieseses as above.

Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer's Call/Nocturne (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RdbZeOxL2o)   Persona (PS1) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9QjitKE1eE)  (PSP) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_sR-LFfZAU)   Persona 2: Innocent Sin (https://youtu.be/EPKXEF1z5ac?t=20s)  Persona 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxNAwZ-A88w) / FES (https://youtu.be/Icol0dtcxnU?t=12s)   Persona 4 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h73LvR8V2LA)  Arena (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSZ0UZl1JUw)  Ultimax (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uhD8P7_llf0)  Golden (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7H5pYCw4ET4)  Dancing All Night (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddXM6HX1PgU)
Tales of Vesperia (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgp687_walkthrough-tales-of-vesperia-opening_videogames)   Graces (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SymLluPY-ig)   Xillia (https://youtu.be/Dm-IYaf_hag?t=3s)   Xillia 2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MB4bvAK__Ks)
(That was the least horrible upload of the English Vesperia opening I could find)
BlazBlue: Continuum Shift (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x42hulk) / Continuum Shift II (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x4cq0hr)   Chrono Phantasma (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssQv6mfuLM4)
Zone of the Enders (https://youtu.be/MuQ3taVNLj4?t=14s)  /  2 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTrJGaGXdRE) (That hasn't been extended, it really is that long)
Tekken 3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IsvtUxEFQaU)
SUPERBEAT XONiC (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFDbwv6KIHo)
Zero Escape: Virtue's Last Reward (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAvCssRk9DY)
Parasite Eve (https://youtu.be/XbzDzF4R2w0?t=30s)
Dark Cloud (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v701fW803dQ)
NIER (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8XTbluLDyE) (The start alone makes it awesome)
Silent Hill (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRIjNtSOwNM)

I just really, really like openings. There's absolutely nothing like a well-made opening that tells you what you're about to get into and gets you pumped to play it.
Actually, forget that. Just put a really good song in it and I'll love it.
YEEAAHH.

This is hands down one of my all-time favorites. It really raised the bar for me in terms of gaming and made me an Ys fan for life.  ;D

Here's 10 favorites of mine in no particular order.  :)
