NE: "As part of its send-off festivities, Nintendo Power compiled a list of the top 285 Nintendo games of all time. The magazine specifically chose the number since 285 issues were produced since its inception in 1988."
Pac-Pix launched in 2005 as a Nintendo DS exclusive, and deserves to make a comeback on modern touchscreen devices.
The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.
This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.
Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
The new Nintendo-focused emulator for the iPhone is now available with support for several classic systems.
Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
Majora's Mask and twilight princess in the 30's!!!
i can't say i agree, but i'll at least respect their opinion.
There's no way I'd put Super Mario Galaxy at number 3. Ahead of ALL those awesome games. Nah.
Also, Pokemon Red & Blue number 204?!
Oh, I thought it was how many games Mario has been in. :P
Just kidding, but he HAS been in 244 games, so not quite 285.
The real list -
1.Ocarina of time
2.Super Mario Bros
3. Mario 64
4. Pokemon Red . blue . yellow
5. Smash bros (can't decide which one)
6. The legend of Zelda
7. LOZ ALTTP
8. Mario Galaxy
9. Metroid Prime 1
10. Skyward Sword
My list :)
In terms of raw gameplay, I would've sure thought Galaxy 2 would've beaten out the first one...
Awesome that Astro Boy is at 38! Even though it's a licensed anime game, it is a great game!
Surprised that Ninja Five-O even made it...
I think Earthbound should've been higher.
This list has some I guess "lesser" known titles and that's cool to see. I think most, if not all the games on this list are great.
