[drbunnig]

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it. First time I've had proper Internet in ages - here's a big batch of clues

Current list - https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=249858&page=1#6

18 - Resident Evil 4
- This game, which shook up the series it is part of, sees you trying to rescue the child of a powerful person.
- A popular action-horror game that has been released on numerous platforms in various generations

17 - Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door
- This game introduced an audience that watches your battles. The audience can help or hinder you.
- This RPG, which features perhaps gaming’s most well known character, had a remake released last year, two decades after the original came out.

16 (incorrect guesses - Dino Crisis 3)
- This sequel went in a more action packed direction than its predecessor, possibly foreshadowing the direction the similar, more popular franchise from the same developer would also take.
- By killing enemies, you earn extinction points, which can be used to buy new weapons, ammo, and health supplies.

15 - Yoshi's Woolly World
- This title made a cutesy character even more cuddly.
- This followed on from another character from the same company also being turned into a soft material.

14 - Super Mario Galaxy
- For the first time in 3D, you’re able to use a power up that dates back to the first game in the series.
- This power up allows you to throw fireballs.

13 - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
- DLC for this game had a feature that showed where your character had traversed on the sizable map.
- The same map was used for the sequel.

12
- The location our hero visits has a striking resemblance to the codename of the console this game first released on.
- You have to serve punishment for a crime you didn’t commit.

11 - Super Mario 64
- The way you enter certain levels can impact the way you play them.
- The action in this iconic platform game is captured by a camera operator who is traditionally one of your enemies.

10
- This game, which launched a major franchise, was originally conceived as a remake of another title.

09
- This sequel takes players outside of the United States for the first time, with competitions based in France and Mexico. That said, there are still plenty of American locations to visit.

08 - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
- That’s an awful lot of water

07 - Super Mario World
- This game introduced a beloved character to a popular series. The character’s main function here was conceived as an idea for previous games, but the hardware at the time was not powerful enough for it to come to fruition.

06 - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
- This move to 3D is still one of the most popular entries in the franchise.
