It's a strange trend where the Top 50 event seems to appeal more to Nintendo gamers than Sony/MS/PC gamers. Each year as there's more and more users submitting their lists, I think to myself that the Nintendomination will be reduced but it seems the number of participants didn't change things after all.


Doesn't necessarily mean to appeal to "Nintendo gamers", but rather, people who grew up with Nintendo. That's something that is stuck with us forever, as an integral part of our childhood; and such, those kind of games will never be removed from there because we look back to them with both love and nostalgia. It doesn't help that those games were (are?) also amazing.


But you see, the problem with this theory is that the numbers tells us that a lot more people grew up with, say, Final Fantasy VII, than Ocarina of Time (and hell, look how many PSOnes were out there compared to N64's). So...what the hell?

I say OoT keeping that #1 spot for several years in a row makes no goddamn sense.
