Games in series that transitioned to 3D (fully rendered/models/cinematics) and generally claimed to be the best in the series
there's definitely more but these are the first i can think of
6 Games
While this game still has 2D backgrounds, it was the first in the series to have 3D models, thus I'm considering it a transition to 3D
Though the models were always rendered in 3D, this was the first to be fully rendered in 3D in terms of backgrounds (and moving camera)
