#14: What is a man?

Trucks gets an almost clean sweep!

Correct!

Awakening is one of the reasons why the 3DS is a fantastic system. I like tactics titles and therefore I like Fire Emblem, and Awakening surely is a great Fire Emblem title. Probably a reason why Sakurai included a whole bunch of characters from this games in Smash.

Awakening follows the story of Chrom and his warriors as they fight against the quite of bunch of problems cropping up over time. Your characters becomes their tactician as you control the whole team on the battlefield. The story stretches over multiple years, but also includes the time traveling children of the characters you play, as they come back in time to avoid the dark future.

The game has the tactics gameplay the series is known for and works the formula well. You have some specialties through the teamups. The presentation is pretty good and still helps to keep a good overview of the battle (which is in my opinion very important for this kind of tactical gameplay).

As this game was a very successful title it helped to bring the series more into the spotlight.

Great guess. Correct!

Close enough, it is actually Dynasty Tactics 2. Dynasty Tactics only had the the 3 campaigns.

#15 is still unguessed, it is a famous RTS.

Age of Mythology?

I had that game myself in this list, great RTS.

Guessed by The_Liquid_Laser

Mario is the quintessential 2D Platformer series, if you think about the genre, you think about Mario. 'Super Mario Bros. 3' is the quintessential game within this series. This is where everything was perfect. Levels, control, art; all perfect. This game controls so intuitively and fluently, it feels like the controller has vanished and you manipulate Mario directly with your own hands. Imagine them being morphed right into the television. Anyway, this was one of the games I frequently played with my cousin on my aunt's old NES, whenever we weren't playing Duck Hunt (#47) or Soccer (#49). This game is much more complicated however, and we were nowhere near good enough to get very far. So we continued later on with the All-Stars version on SNES, only to fail again. So later, I got it again on GameBoy Advance. Where again I failed. Control may be perfect, I'm just terrible at 2D Mario.

I loved LucasArts adventures and the first Monkey Island is one fine example of their great work. The game was designed by Ron Gilbert, Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman and is a great achievement for them.

This great is not made with difficult puzzles in mind (although they can sometimes quite the brainteasers) or action and player death. The main focus for this game lies in exploration and just outright fun. The game has humour at each corner. Like the above message after you poisoned the guard dogs. Or who played it might remember the red herring (which was an infamous item in one of the Zork games, as it had no use in any puzzle). Or the hollow tree stump which you can examine further. Or the guy who wants to be asked about Loom. And most importantly the time you learn sword-fight.

The premise of the game is simple: You play Guybrush Threepwood and you want to become a pirate. For that you have to overcome three trials. In the course of the story you also want to win the heart of Elaine Marley and then there is this rumour about the ghost pirate LeChuck!

The game is a classic and pretty much every adventure fan should experience this joyride. If you own an old copy, you can run it again with the trusty DosBox or ScummVM. If you need a copy, you get the special edition with beefed up graphics (which in my opinion miss in part some charme of the original) but also the possibility to switch to original graphics at diverse shops. Or you can play it in the browser at archive.org.

Next is a hard to guess game, especially for non-Europeans;

#15: This game based on a well-known comic has the basis of the campaign map in common with a famous and successful turn-based strategy franchise, though my game predates that.

And another reason why the 3DS is one of the best systems of all times is Kid Icarus: Uprising. Created by Masahiro Sakurai (Kirby, Smash Bros) this game was the sequel for the nearly two decades dormant Kid Icarus IP. Sakurai modernized the gameplay and added some stuff, and some more stuff and even more stuff. This game is filled with endless possibilities.

The single player mode sees you playing through missions, which each consists of a flying part in which you are restricted in your movements to the screen and the main flight path controlled by Palutena, while you shoot enemies. Then a ground part, were you move more freely. And finally a boss fight. Sakurai throws in enough stuff to keep things fresh though.

The story is long-winded and includes an enourmous cast of mythical characters. This includes a whole bunch of gods and their champions. And all of them are constantly talking in some banter, mostly at the expense of Pit, the playable character.

The difficulty of the missions can be adjusted, but you risk more hearts on higher difficulties, but may get bigger rewards too. The game also has an enourmous amount of weapons and other stuff. A multiplayer mode is also included. This game blew me away and kept me glued to the 3DS for a long time. I think this game would be a great candidate for a remake or even a sequel on Switch, so Nintendo take the hint!
