5.Mario Party Jamboree
6.Mario Wonder
7.Paper Mario Origami King
8.Luigi’s Mansion 3

Also curious why you would include EoW on the remakes list?

Since when is echoes of wisdom a remake?

I believe he is saying that if he included remakes, he would replace Echoes of Wisdom with Paper Mario.

The top 5 games I consider great, the bottom 5 I consider good to decent.
Games that didn't make the list are: Ring fit, Pokemon Sword, and Switch Sports.

Getting kind of weak for a top 10 at the bottom of that list. Games I own but haven't played yet that I'm sure would make the list to knock off those bottom two:
- TotK
- Mario+Rabbids Sparks of Hope




Full list with ports/remakes/etc it'd be:

1. BotW
2. Smash Ultimate
3. Mario Odyssey
4. Mario 3D World
5. Metroid Prime Remastered
6. Metroid Dread
7. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
8. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (love MK but mostly game alone these days so MK not nearly as fun as when I was younger)
9. Pokemon Legends Arceus
10. Splatoon 2


Ports/remasters/etc that didn't make the list are:
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Breeze
- New Mario Bros U Deluxe
And I didn't include Mario 3D All-Stars just cuz I feel like it's not fair (and hard) to compare a 3-games-in-1 title against individual games.

1. The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
2. The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom
3. Super Mario Odyssey
4. Super Mario Bros. Wonder
5. Mario+Rabbids: Kingdom Battle
