Forums - Gaming Discussion - Your Top 50 Games: 2013 Discussion Thread (The Final Day!)

Darn it, got so distracted by the War of Resolution and Wii U Sux part 162 that I forgot to create my list. >_> Better start doing some work.

I just finished my Top 50 for the year too! It's pretty similar to last year, but there are both old and new games on my Top 50 for the first time. For instance, my #50 is the successor/reboot of a popular series of NES games... any guesses?

The fact that it seems so simple (and the fact that nobody else has tried to guess it yet) makes me almost certain that this is some sort of  malicious bluff, and that what I'm about to say is exactly what you want me to say... But since no one else seems to be willing bite the hook for me, Mega Man X?

Oh, and here's a hint for my #50:

If you take the square root of the number that appears in the title of this game, subtract from that the number that this game is usually placed at on the final results threads, the result you'll get is equal to the number of major console releases this series had seen outside of Japan up to and including this one.

Yeah. A needlessly complicated-sounding math hint. I'm sure I'm going to be popular around here!

Punch Out!! Wii? It's between a remake and a successor.



Signature goes here!

Cooorrect! Aww. I thought it would be a little harder than that. :(

But yeah, there really weren't many other feasible options if you know the results from the previous years. But well done anyway.

You said "series", so I'm going to role out Punch-Out!!, Excite Truck, A Boy And His Blob, Bionic Commando, and many other reboots in franchises with only one NES game.

Thus leaving Mega Man 9 as the best answer I can come up with right now.

Edit: Unless it's Contra 4. I forgot about Contra 4.

Noone has got mine yet. A shame. Thought it was easy...



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

My #50 is a portable spinoff from a franchise that seems to lost its way this generation

Some games I'd like to see move up in the overall rankings:

Tomb Raider (196)
Ico (181)
Deus Ex (166)

I hope all three break into at least the top 150.
