Pretty much anything that was on the N64! My faves being Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64 and Banjo Kazooie. As well as the pokemon stadium games

and for more recent games, I'd say every one of the Assassins creed games. whenever i get a new one or havent played it for a while, I always watch the opening video scenes.

I love the Super Street Fighter IV Opening. I like how it plays the characters' theme songs. Also, Juri is such a badass in it. <3

I don't normally think much of anything for dubstep but it works for this. I love it when games in general have animated openings like the Tales Of franchise.

The unfortunate thing with the Tales of Zestiria is that they had legal trouble with the artist for the song and had the lyrics removed from the video in a patch not even a couple days after the English launch. The instrumental version isn't anywhere near as good.

 

And then this one I just love for the band playing in the song more than anything:

Sonic Unleashed had a pretty good one. And it was about the only good part of that game.

I absolutely love the soundtrack <3

I like the last one mainly for how awesome the graphics look, especially for its day. Sadly the game itself was just okay.

I can't wait for Nier: Automata, if you couldn't tell.

Ah, I LOVE the MechWarrior 2 and 3 openings. They're so good. MechWarrior 2 and 2 Mercenaries are my favorites, especially the base MechWarrior 2 intro. So much nostalgia.

I also really love the original MechWarrior 5 intro, but sadly that game never actually released, and this intro was all we got. Now PGI () has the game rights. Hopefully with them being bought out recently the quality of their games will improve. I'm pretty hopeful on that.
