Agreed! That's some Movie level stuff right there! Played this one back then too! Read Jean Reno will gladly reprise his role if they ever decide to re-release or remake the game...

My favorite is still the beginning of Blaster Master when you take off in Sophia 3rd(yes i know in the original that is the planets name, but still). That game will always be my favorite nes game ever.

Also still love Ninja Gaidens cinematic cut scenes.

Always found these 2 very special:

Monster Hunter Freedom Unite and Portable 3rd's intros were so cool!

And they also gave you sneak peeks of the cover art monster!

Might be specific, but Deus Ex. However, I am not talking about the cinematic, though that one is pretty peak. I am talking the second you open up the game and start it. Never had a game make me THAT pumped to play it with just its opening theme.

The first few minutes of an adventure of any sort can either get you Hyped or Intrigued on what to expect. Here's what comes to mind on some of the best.
DMC3

Final Fantasy VI

Soul Reaver

I’d say for me it’s wild arms. the anime opening is great

Saw it the first time and it compelled me to play it. Then I went and bough the AES with it the same day. The dude when I busted out the cash, "Are you gonna buy a 3DO?" I was "NAH, I'm good..."

KH birth by sleep

Namco x capcom

Tatsunoko Vs Capcom

[Fray Guillermo]

Surprised no one has said Bioshock 1 yet

 

[Turbo Kid]

Very few series can consistently nail an intro like the Mega Man X series can and contrary to what some fans say the US versions typically have far better music than their Japanese counterparts with their generic jpop crap.

I personally love the Tekken 4 one I re watched it so many times as a kid

Rygar also was quite good

Duke Nukem: Time to Kill had a strong intro. It introduced me to Stabbing Westward.
