| Soundwave said: If you're going to put in the arbitrary stipulation of "you can't count Rare" for whatever reason, then things like Retro Studios shouldn't be counted for the Wii. Super Mario 64 Zelda: Ocarina of Time Zelda: Majora's Mask Star Fox 64 Animal Forest (Crossing) Pokemon Snap Super Smash Bros. F-Zero X Wave Race 64 Pilotwings 64 Mario Kart 64 Yoshi's Story Mario Tennis Mario Golf Paper Mario Sin & Punishment Kirby 64 1080 Snowboarding |
That list actually proves my point. Rare doesn't count because they actually self-published most of their N64 catalog. It's not like Retro, which is not only had Nintendo publish all their games directly, but is also a wholly owned subsidiary of Nintendo. It's not even like Intelligent Systems, where all their games are property of Nintendo. There's a reason why 90% of Rare's IP now belongs to Microsoft.
Getting back on topic, most of that list is Mario and Mario spin-offs, or cute mascot platformers. With 2 sequels to SNES games, a Snowboarding game, and one truly unique game with Sin & Punishement, Animal Crossing is more well known as a GameCube game, as it was the west's first introduction to the series, so I'm also not counting it.
