Doubtful. Star Wars has already been retconned thanks to Disney. Meaning no Old Republic and no Luke Skywalker's sons.

The only canon thing from SW right now are the movies, and The Clone Wars TV series. Kyle Katarn, unfortunately, has been erased from the canon. Which is a shame, because he was the best Jedi in the Galaxy.

Yeah I know it sucks...

Maybe they'll have Kyle Katarn in the new movie . But that's idle hope...

Doubtful again, because J.J:

 

a) Either nerfs him to the point that he's just a shadow of his former self.

b) He leaves him like he really is and eclipsates everyone else on the movie.

 

It's a lose/lose situation



#32 - Mega Man 4

Also known as "They nerfed Rush Jet! Those bastards!" Mega Man 4 is my favourite of the NES series. The gameplay is mostly unchanged from Mega Man 2 and 3. You jump and shoot but Mega Man has now a slide from MM3 and also a charged up shot. Mega Man 4 also has a new villian. Dr. Cossack! So instead of just one castle at the end of the game, you get two! The music is great and the graphics are some of the best on the NES. The robot masters are great, most of them are pretty interesting and their attack patterns aren't as simple as in Mega Man 2 and 3. Pharaoh Man especially is my favourite. The weapons all have their uses and are unique in their own way, I can't think of a single weapon in this game that I would consider useless. Also the level design is more balanced, there are no "Quick Man levels" and the difficulty is challenging but fair.



32 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island (Nintendo, 1995) - SNES (also available on GBA)

My favorite Mario game period (though I haven't played any of the Galaxy games yet) is this one. Many people don't consider this part of the main Mario series simply because you don't play as Mario, but - what's this? It's SUPER MARIO WORLD TWO?! That's what I thought.

Anyway, this game is fantastic. Good controls, great level design, yadda-yadda. What REALLY stands out to me are the bosses. They are generally the weakest part of platformers, but here's it's an exception. The bosses are more than just "jump on their head three times", they're GREAT. And the final boss... oh god, ithat music... In fact, had this game have just regular bosses, I'd probably hold the first Mario World. As it is though, It's probably my favorite 2D platformer ever, tied with another game on this list.

 

#31: this game pissed off Nintendo fans everywhere. It's by the same company that would later piss off gaming fans in general.

You just have to look at Toad Man to realize that

That's why I said "most" xD. Toad Man's boss fight is pretty poor in general because if you don't hit him he is just going to hit you with his all-screen Rain Flush. Ring Man and Pharaoh Man definitely make up for it though.



#41 - Metroid Prime 3: Corruption

The third installment of the Prime series is fantastic, doing away with the dual world mechanic that I didn't particularly enjoy in Echoes, this game offers you multiple planets to explore and truly great implementation of the Wii controls. The shooting is precise, whipping away shields with a movement of the Wiimote feels satisfying.

Having Samus fight against other bounty hunters makes for fun and inventive boss fights and the maps available in-game mean getting 100% of items is easier this time around but still a blast to achieve.

#40 - Star Fox 64

A short but highly enjoyable game. Expanding on the original while making it a bit more accessible (Star Fox SNES is very hard!) this game clicked with me right away. You could just shoot around and make it through the game but with strategy and well placed charged shots you could boost you score and earn medals for each stage, it's that aspect of the game that made sure I replayed it over and over again until I unlocked everything.

#32:

Danganronpa

The premise of the game is cool, the characters are well written and interesting and the murders and trials are very well thought out.  Can't wait to play the sequel
