Mortal Kombat 9. Not only was it a return to form after Midway went bankrupt, but the series sells better than Street Fighter does not.
Street Fighter IV, except that SFV was a huge stumble.
Valkyria Chronicles 4 after a handheld game and a poorly conceived spinoff. Though I heard 3 was great.
Breath of the Wild, just for bringing back a huge explorable overworld after so many years of skimpy overworlds.. Plus it's a sales beast. First time a Zelda title has sold over 15 million units on its first run. Skyward Sword sold around 3 million.
And although I know I might get dragged for this, I'm really enjoying the hell out of Pokemon Sword, with my wife playing Shield. Haven't had that much fun with Pokemon since Red/Blue, and she says the same.
If we count the games from all three companies as one meta-series, then Xenoblade Chronicles was a massive improvement over Xenosaga and brought the series back up to the standards of Xenogears, maybe even exceeded it.
Dragon Quest XI after the DS-only Dragon Quest IX and the online-only Dragon Quest X. I was worried that 8 would be the last traditional Dragon Quest, especially after 9 sold so well.
