Around the Network

Splatoon, Kid Icarus Uprising, Super Mario 3D World, Uncharted 4, Killer Instinct

Honorable mention: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze



1.) Splatoon
2.) Mario Kart 8
3.) SSB Wii U
4.) Pikmin 3
5.) Infamous Second Son

I'm sure if Zelda had released by now, it would have taken up the second spot making an all Nintendo top 5 but, that's my list. Nintendo really did win the generation imo software wise.



1) Dragon Age: Inquisition. - I got all the shards (Still working on bottles), killed all the dragons, completed every quest and I enjoyed every single part of it.
I need more of this.

2) Sunset: Overdrive. - Game eeks character, never takes itself too seriously and is just a ton of fun, it should be a staple in any Xbox One game collection.

3) Battlefield 1. - Amazing graphics on PC (Sadly, less amazing on console.) with some pretty rock solid mechanics, wide open spaces... And an actual campaign that is worth playing. No seriously.

4) Civilization 6. - Just one more turn please.

5) Overwatch. - Sure it lacks content, only has a handful of maps and game modes... And we have only gotten a single map since launch (8+ months) which was Eichenwalde. - If you ignore the 3v3 map Antarctica, we also got only 2 new characters, Anna and Sombra.
But it eeks charm. And I still find myself playing it daily in short bursts, it just needs more content, that was a criticism that held true on launch and holds true in 2017.

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


5. Bloodborne: I really enjoyed Dark Souls but never got to finish it and this version with faster gameplay and a few new mechanics really impressed me.

4. Fallout 4: I liked it at first but I was dissapointed with changes such as dialogue and the perks system. Once survival came out, it changed the game for me and made it 10 times better, it actually felt like real survival.

3. InFamous Second Son: Even though it's far from perfect, combat and traversal was fantastic, the new powers were awesome and i enjoyed the story as well.

2. Wasteland 2 DC: I simply love this game. The lore, story, the Strategy-based combat (which I'm usually put off by) Everything just comes together wonderfully.

1. Uncharted 4: By far, the best of the 4. Even if it feels like you've been there, the finale to the series is just a great send off. Coupled with a great Multiplayer and new survival/horde mode, it's fantabolous

Honorable Mention: I really enjoyed dying light. In a world full of zombie games, the fast-paced parkour action was really satisfying. I also haven't finished it yet but Ratchet & Clank is fantastic and I will starting The Witcher 3 soon



"Trick shot? The trick is NOT to get shot." - Lucian

1. Pokemon Sun & Moon
Huge improvement over Gen 6, trials are a nice change of pace, the new Pokemon are pretty good, setting is great and I like the new focus on story and characters. Other than it's just Pokemon.

2. Super Mario 3D World
This game is so good that is should be illegal, by far the biggest highlight of the Wii U's library. It looks great, there are tons of levels and they are all great, you have choices of playstyle, the new power-ups are great and even multiplayer is really good. Style and substance.

3. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
ALTTP in a fresh coat of paint with some new bells and whistles that introduces new gameplay styles and dimensions. The great thing about ALBW is that it builds on the base of it's predecessor to make ALBW feel unique. Really they could have just made a remake or remaster of ALTTP but they didn't.

4. Super Danganronpa 2
A visual novel that is often compared to the Ace Attorney series but what makes it stand above AA for me is the overall better characters and gameplay which gives it some replayability.

5. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

While this game is pretty controversial for numerous reasons, it also introduced a lot of cool ideas and it was an overall blast to play. The amount of options and variety that you have at your disposal is insane.

Honourable mentions that didn't make the top 5:
-Dragon Quest Builders
-Dark Souls III
-Bloodborne
-Super Mario Maker
-Fire Emblem: Fates
-Rabi-Ribi
