I do respond to your games! I said Metroid Prime was probably my favorite shooter (It's much higher on my list) and one of my favorite gamecube games, and that Kirby too was also a great choice. Don't want to expand on Metroid Prime too much because it's much higher on my list

For Super Star, I'm not as huge of a fan as others, but other Kirby games do make my list pretty high. and I just realized......I may have missed 1 really fun Kirby.

I can easily name a top 100 games too, in fact I'd rather do that. So many great games just didn't make my cut off.

Also 3 Zelda's, but non Ocarina of Time? hm. Well OoT isn't my favorite either, but I still rank it above almost any console Zelda.

Actually, you'll find that not a single N64 game is on my list, and only a few PS1 games are.  That generation sucked balls (had the technology to make games 3D, but not the ability to make them look, feel, or play like anything more than ass).  It was that transitional period and I hated it. Zelda was no better, though that was admittedly more the fault of the console than the game itself.  Hell, the Smash Brothers Series is amongst my all-time favorites, and I simply cannot return to the original Smash Brothers. 

You are a graphic whore... (not to insult, nost people are).

I think the very opposite of you, N64 expanded the limitations of gaming, and gave Nintendo the ability to add innovation and quality to all their games. I think the best Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, and damn well Star Fox titles were all made on the N64. Since then Nintendo has just tried to make games that matched up in quality, only only now with some of their Wii franchises are the pseudo succeeding.

However I don't have and PS1 games on the list. Final Fantasy was best in 2D, and I never played FFIX, Front Mission, or Chrono Cross on PS1. Only Ps1 games I actually look back and would even add to my top 100 are Gran Turismo and Twisted Metal, but TMB and GT3/4 are the best of those franchises.

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA no.  

I am not a graphic whore, I never was and never will be and hate graphics whores because it's their kind who are responsible for so many of our games being more about style than substance.  But jesus dude, did you not read the part where I said "...feel, and play..."?  I was very careful with my wording so people wouldn't just go 'lolgraphicwhore'  and be done with it.  The games controlled horribly (seriously, try playing them after playing an SNES game or Gamecube game), and everything was just...annoying. Camera issues galore, control problems, tonnes of issues with polish and content, and to top off all my complaints in those departments....the games all looked like complete and utter shit. the graphics were, of course, just one part that sucked.  

What did we get for sacrificing controls, gameplay, content, depth, and graphics?  better sounds and a third dimension.  There's a reason I'm playing more games like LIMBO and Outland as opposed to buying into the hype of games like Battlefield or Crysis which sell themsleves on their  supposedly amazing graphics that I don't give a shit about.  

You'll also notice that my most loved system is the SNES.
