Wouldnt be my picks, thats for sure. Or at the very least wouldnt be my placements.

Nice to see Xenoblade. Astral Chain and Bayo there but it needs more Sin n Punishment Star Successor.

The abudance of Fire Emblem, Xeno, Bayo, and Astral was a very pleasing site as I was copying down this list... though I think the thing with MC User Scores is that the more popular a game is, the harder it becomes to avoid getting bombed. You have every mainline Pikmin game, you have Mario Kart 8 but no MK8DX, you have ten Fire Emblem games, but you don't have something as acclaimed as Super Mario World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, nor any Mario Kart or Smash Bros game besides the Wii U and GCN releases.

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).

Sorry, but I can't take seriously a list that puts Bananza or Tropical Freeze above Donkey Kong Country 2 (or any other SNES title).

Breath of the Wild only being the 7th of the Legend of Zelda games ranking here is criminal.

Also, while it's a good game, I didn't expect Astral Chain to be the highest-ranking Switch game...

How did Calculator get on there? That's not Nintendo as far as I'm aware.
