Nintendo's strongest year for third party support since SNES

[Jumpin]

2019 was quite good, I played a ton of games from that year, and I still play these games to this day.
Witcher 3
Dragon Quest 11
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy
Final Fantasy 7 Remastered
Final Fantasy 8 Remastered
Final Fantasy X Remastered
Ni No Kuni
Collection of Mana
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Astral Chain
Resident Evil 4 (though, I’d still say the Wii version is the definitive)
Contra; Anniversary Collection
Terraria


2008 is simply hands down the year I have most games from of any year ever, including SNES. It is also the year that Nintendo sold over 55 million pieces of hardware.
Disaster Day of Crisis
Manhunt 2
Trauma Center New Blood
Dragon Quest 4 DS
Final Fantasy 4 DS
Dragon Quest 5 DS
The World Ends with You
Chrono Trigger DS
Dragon Quest Swords
Just Dance
Zack and Wiki
No More Heroes
House of the Dead 2&3
Okami
PGA World Tour 09
Professor Layton and the Curious Village
Geometry Wars: Galaxies
NiGHTS 2
Mario and Sonic and the Olympic Games
Disagree DS
Populous DS
Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney
Rune Factory 2
Trauma Center 2
Contra 4
StarTropics
Harvest Moon
River City Ransom (Street Gangs)
Double Dragon
Street Fighter II
Super Mario RPG
Secret of Mana
Phantasy Star II
Shining Force II
Phantasy Star IV
Metal Slug 1 & 2

Also, if you liked Guitar Hero, DDR, and that sort of thing, they had like 12 of those that year.
I was playing the VC games fairly regularly until around the end of the Covid era, and still play them from time to time to this day, although less so now since many of the games are now on Switch. Unfortunately, I made the monumental mistake of transferring all my games to the Wii U, which I still have hooked up to this day to play Wii games... although, this is in my gym, where I have my old TV set up.

If there was one thing I wish Nintendo would have done... carried the Virtual Console over so we could keep our libraries. I wouldn't have even cared if we needed to pay a fee for each game... I just want them all in one place.
