Hi.

Yes I've been away for a few days and now I'll have to massively spam again soon. In the meantime, here's some hints:

#13 - The first game in this series to be directed by a certain person who would go on to take over as main director of the whole franchise from that point on. It was also a game quickly put together less than 2 years after a classic.
#12 - This platformer's predecessor was set in an island with 8 worlds, but in this game, that island acts as the final world, with 8 levels each representing one of the other game's worlds.

13: Could be Majora's Mask

12: Yoshi's Wooly World?

17: Haven't checked your list in the other thread.. but, 2?

15: I guess Skyward Sword.

Haven`t updated it since I posted it so it wouldn`t have helped But nope on both counts.

Uhmm, Uncharted 3 then?

#16 - A remake of one of the earlier entries in this series, but wasn't made by the company who owns the franchise.
#15 - A game that definitely has too much water, but didn't get a 7.8 from IGN.
#14 - Now you're thinking with _______.

14 Portal?

12 Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze



Oh boy. I'm quite behind. I'll keep descriptions short (maybe not).

#21 - Katamary Damacy

A weird, silly, fantastic game. The simple concept of using your surroundings to grow and become bigger is something I love. This game takes that even further with some gimmicky levels, which some end up hurting the game overall (Like the cow level). Speaking of levels, the theme is pretty cool. In a nutshell, giant father destroyed all stars, so your job is to collect as much of everything or specific items or size to make stars, and ultimately the Moon. So, each level can have a theme that fits that star/constelation. I like that idea too. Looks really good, plays really good, and the soundtrack is very good. Some bad levels made it not reach higher spots.

#20 - Pokemon FireRed

Now, on a normal day I would say I don't like Gen 1. It has a lot of good things going for it, but overall is too basic and sometimes confusing. But when making this list, I knew I had to put this somewhere. So thinking about this game makes me want to replay it a lot. Which is a feeling I get at least every 2 years. Not many games do that to me, not even the ones at the top (well... not all). And Pokemon is pretty much my favourite franchise, so of course the original (???) had to be pretty high. I don't really have to say that much about this game. Rival is awesome; feeling of adventure is real. It's not linear, which I personally find impressive for a GB(A) RPG, and while the story is... there, Team Rocket is just a classic villain.

#19 - Super Mario World

Alright, here we go. I didn't like SMB3. Why? Because I was spoiled by more modern Mario games. But Mario World? This is exactly what I want in modern Mario. Branching paths, creative and difficult levels, amazing and intuitive platforming, synergy between mechanics and enemies... My favourite 2D Mario (and maybe 2D platformer? I don't know what's higher on the list). Heck, the main reason why I like Mario Maker are the World levels. I just adore everything from Mario World.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

NNID: Slarvax - Steam: Slarvax - Friend Code:  SW 7885-0552-5988

Hint #18 - This isn't a Melee, neither a Brawl, and there are no numbers (wow, I'm clever).
#17 - The firs in this racing series with online and some form of customization.
#16 - Killing 8-bit monsters with a chain!
#15 - USA from Japan.
#14 - Arguably, the worst story in this Nintendo exclusive RPG.
#13 - Literally the best flash game to date. It's a tower defense game about knights and orcs and demons.
#12 - A cancelled game, now revived.

These are correct.

Also, a little bit more information on #16... it was not only made by someone else, it was also rejected by the company that owns the franchise, who has since tried their hardest to "remove" the game from existence.

Could it be Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes?

Oh, I know this! I`ve got the PSN version on my PS3! What`s the name though? umm.... Kula World!?

S.Peelman said:

Yep, that`s the one.

Congrats, Kula World is absolutely right! This was one of the most obscure games I have on my list, besides a couple I had in the 40s.

17 is correct. 16 is very close. 15 and 18 are wrong (18 still has numbers.)

If #16 is close: Castlevania 3?

About 18 I suppose that it's Super Smash Bros for WiiU/3DS.

 

No idea about 15
