Top 10 Video Games, Movies and Shows That Are Greatly Overrated Due to Their Nostalgia Factors

The Top Ten
1 Titanic (Film)

Every teenage girl back then would treat you possibly even worse than Paper Mario community treats Sticker Star (Worse than COVID-19, Ebola, Hitler, Satan etc. combined)

Think its overrated check out Titanic: The Legend Goes on, The Legend of the Titanic, Tentacolino (In Search of the Titanic). The first in the American dub had a rapping dog, the second had an octopus that saved everyones life and the sequel to the second had them in Atlantis!

If you thought that Titanic was a disgrace to the Titanic, wait until you see the animated Titanic trilogy.

I don't care about "Jack" and "Rose", I don't care about their romance or romance in general, I don't care if a character dies, I don't care about its awards, I don't care about this movie at all.

The reason? It was just an insult to the real life tragedy.

2 Super Smash Bros. Melee

I 100% agree. Melee fans will insult SSBB and SSB4 because it was made afer them. The fans are the kind of people who leave ranting bad reviews at the day of release that are basically there to say that Melee is better. Yes, Brawl wouldn't exist without Melee, but that does not automatically mean it is better. Besides, SSBM was secret (hence the 'Project M' a visitor put), so Nintendo didn't know what fans wanted, unlike later SSB titles. Any time I see a crazy Melee fan I just want to leave.

Say the stupid reason that annoye everybody whit me guy: IT NOT MELEE!

It's not melee. So it is actually good.

Brawl is better because of Project M.

3 The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time

I didn't even know this game existed until I started watching video game YouTubers years back. I thought, "Why does this always have the best gameplay, the best graphics, or the best storyline? " I think people are blinded by nostalgia. Kinda like a food/drink you used to love as a kid, but when you try it as a teen it's okay or you maybe even hate it. The people who worship this game do not have that thought process, it is only good because they grew up with it. The first Zelda game isn't even as popular as this one! I have sadly never played a Zelda game, but even I know this is overrated.
Get The Legend Of Zelda: Overrated Of All Time to #1!

Heck, in retrospect, I would say that Undertale actually kind of deserved to beat Ocarina Of Time in that stupid GameFaqs poll.

Or maybe that stupid poll shouldn't have even existed in the first place because there is really no such thing as THE best game ever, regardless of Undertale being a goddamned phenomenal and beautiful storytelling experience of a game.

I guess what I'm really trying to say here is that it really doesn't take much of a game to beat Ocarina Of Time by today's standards, you know? :/

This one gets on my nerves. You're telling me, over the span of 20+ years, no one has made anything better? Remember the horrible water temple? The game isn't that pretty, aiming with the bow is awful, and there is so much god damn waiting.

Compared to Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, as well as other fantasy games like Final Fantasy XII, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and Xenoblade Chronicles, this game just doesn't hold up anymore.

4 Final Fantasy VII

What, one of the best games

5 Pokémon Red

Very little replay value. Also, Charizard isn't that powerful.

Regular Charizard sucks. I can defeat him with Stone Edge in one hit and then Charizard dies bye bye.

Seriously though, this game is boring now. Why would you play this when there are tons of other Pokemon Games.

A perfect example of how nostalgia clouds judgement

Pokemon red is extremely adorable and great!

6 Star Wars

The most overrated franchise in existence but I still respect it's special place in history.

"Space opera." How do those two words make any sense when you put them side by side?

Yes. But I can't say the same for Empire Strikes Back.

Gundam is better.

7 Street Fighter II

Disagree. Amazing and fun game that revolutionized the fighting game genre.

I disagree One of the best fighting games I’ve ever played. 6 years of playing and I still have yet to master it.

8 Mega Man Legends
9 Voltron

The Netflix show is overrated. I’d much rather watch Gundam or Evangelion when it comes to anime with giant robots.

10 As Told by Ginger As Told by Ginger is an American animated television series aimed at teenagers, produced by Klasky-Csupo and aired on Nickelodeon.

What a boring, teen-pandering rip-off of Arthur.

The Contenders
11 Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs
12 Will & Grace Will & Grace is an American sitcom created by Max Mutchnick and David Kohan about the relationship between best friends Will Truman (Eric McCormack), a gay lawyer, and Grace Adler (Debra Messing), a straight interior designer. It was broadcast on NBC from September 21, 1998 to May 18, 2006, for a total of eight seasons. During its original run, Will & Grace was one of the most successful television series with gay principal characters.

If you take your nostalgia goggles off, you'll find out it's pretty unfunny and offensive to gay people.

This show got a remake on Stan.

13 Pokémon (Anime)
14 Banjo-Kazooie
15 Battle of the Planets
16 The Lion King

I watched it recently. It still holds up.

It gave spotted hyenas a bad rap!

Better than The Black Cauldron.

17 Full House Full House is an American sitcom created by Jeff Franklin for ABC. The show chronicles a widowed father, Danny Tanner, who enlists his best friend and brother-in-law to help raise his three daughters.

My little sisters are obsessed over this show along with its sequel Fuller House even though they weren't born in the 1980's-1990's.

18 The Dark Knight

Great movie but not the best Batman movie. In my opinion Batman (1989) is much better

19 Barney & Friends Barney & Friends is an American children's television series aimed at children from ages 1 to 8, created by Sheryl Leach and produced by HIT Entertainment. It premiered on PBS on April 6, 1992. The series features the title character Barney, a purple anthropomorphic tyrannosaurus rex who conveys educational ...read more.
20 Mean Girls

Seriously, this movie is overrated by every teenage girl/young woman on Tumblr who grew up in the 2000's! What a mean-spirited movie!

What a dumb movie.

21 Conker's Bad Fur Day

Loved that game

22 Power Rangers Zeo
23 Earthbound

Why would you vote for Earthbound it is actually amazing still to this day and it is really good

I thought this game was underrated.

Yeh this games is just AWESOME!

24 Star Fox Assault

No one thought this was good. Oh wait that was Adventure...

25 Dragon Ball Z Dragon Ball Z is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation. Dragon Ball Z follows the adventures of Goku who, along with the Z Warriors, defends the Earth against evil. The action adventures are entertaining and reinforce the concept of good versus evil. Dragon Ball Z teaches valuable ...read more.

The battles are too drawn out and the plot is contrived. On top of that, it seems like Akira Toriyama needs to give every character a power that will enable them to blow up the universe 50 times.
