A lot of great titles on that list, but 50 games is sort of overwhelming. I don’t even know where to start.

I think Majora’s Mask is a dubious #1. I love it, but I’d place ~20 Nintendo-published games ahead of it. How far back does Metacritic go? 1996? My personal top 10 from 1996 onward would include Breath of the Wild (#31), Super Mario 64 (#5), Xenoblade Chronicles (#3), Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (?), Banjo-Kazooie (#20), Metroid Prime (?), Super Mario Galaxy 2 (#9), A Link Between Worlds (#32), Super Mario Galaxy (#11), and Tears of the Kingdom (#45).

Worth noting: I cut individual Metroid Prime titles in favor of including the Trilogy release— felt a little redundant being that they are the same game just released on a different (yet equally powerful) console. Individually, Prime 1 and Prime 2 make the list and pretty high as well. I’d have to double check where they land though if you want a specific placement.

MK8DX not being present also really surprised me! Especially for how much glaze the game gets on top of being Nintendo best selling game of all time (well… soon to be), I would’ve thought that no doubt it’d be here. But no.
