Did anyone really think Nintendo, or any company for that matter, could match or beat what they did in 2008?

indiemike5201d ago

It could be possible, since they have so many big first-party titles coming out this year.

IanCube5201d ago

True, but just goes to show you how much Ninty has to do NOW to have a year similar to 2008. They have to release ALL 3 of their biggest IP's.

Crazy.

indiemike5201d ago

True. I still think that even with massive success, it would be smart of them to jump ahead on their next home console. Otherwise they could risk falling behind in a really big way.

I mean they aren't struggling, but the Wii is already outdated hardware. Their best bet is announcing something big before Natal releases.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

Nioh games definitely up there at the top alongside Ninja Gaiden BLK.

LoveSpuds466d ago

There is a decent fan base for the Nioh games, but still think they are criminally overlooked and under appreciated.

I just bought the PS5 collection to replay them again with all their DLC, a sweet collection for my games shelf for sure.

Yea, those gardens haven't been plowed in over 10 years now though. Imagine if they cultivated it, let it grow again.

Amazing what ya can do with a samurai sword lol 🤣

tehpees3466d ago

The honourable mention though.

TheSenorCheese466d ago

originally it wasn't going to be included because of their take on Samus' character. But the gameplay's actually not bad.

Vits465d ago

Honestly, I don't know if we can even blame them for that take. Nintendo's Sakamoto was credited as the writer and from what we learned later with the Retro Studios interviews for the Prime series, Nintendo apparently never saw Samus as this stoic badass that most of the west imagined her as. Going as far as describing her as "motherly".

Ninja Gaiden was dope but I don't really care for alot of their games.
