Hey, Platina. Make the next one a Mega Man one.

2nd this. A top Mega Man list would be awesome!

I don't agree with the exact order, but at least the right games made the top 3.
Those three are classics, the others are not.

I actually absolutely think 3D World could be viewed as a classic in time.  It has fantastic level design and a feel and look distinct from past 3D entries.  And I've played and thoroughly enjoyed Galaxy, played 64, and dabbled in Sunshine but 3D World has the best design in terms of platforming challenges and structure.  And unlike 3D Land, it has an identity to it.

I think if 3D World was going to be seen as classic it would be already. Galaxy certainly was 3 years after its release. 3DW is largely forgotten, because as well made as it is, it is ultimately rather forgettable.

Or it could be that Galaxy was tied to a console with 100mil install base with agressive marketing and 3DW is tied to the lowest selling Nintendo console with the hands down worst marketing and PR of any Nintendo device (and 3D World launched in the 2013 Holiday season, the nadir of Nintendo's marketing) barring the Virtual Boy.  Also, I don't find it forgettable in the slightest.  The biggest problem 3D World has is actually that people wanted Galaxy 3 and got something entirely different.  I actually found the first impression of Galaxy far weaker than 3D World.  Since i had seen images and videos of the aesthetics, that "WOW" moment wasn't there and stripped of that the first several levels of Galaxy are remarkably humdrum.

It's got nothing to do with the install base, games like Splatoon and Mario Kart 8 got plenty of recognition of their excellence in spite of being on Nintendo's worst selling console. 3D World just didn't wow most gamers the way 64 or Galaxy did.

Great list!!
Mario 64 deserves all the love it gets and the Galaxy games are masterpieces too.
I'd like to play 3D World but the Wii u is too expensive and there aren't that many games on it that interest me



Switch 3D Land and Sunshine and you have my exact ranking.



Exactly how I'd rank them, with the only exception that I wouldn't put 3D Land in last place. 64 at the top is the only true outcome for sure.

Anyway I'd say Mario Kart next, because that way I can actually vote!

Lol the most predictable top 3 I've ever seen. So when will Nintendo make a new Galaxy or 64 style game?? -_-

Switch launch.

 

 

OP: Good for 1 and 2. 3 is just inferior DLC, it should be Sunshine.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


As for myself, I was actually expecting Galaxy to be on top, or at least have the points a lot closer to each other..

I haven't played 64 for myself, but I rank 3D World above the Galaxies :p

All great games, however
