30: Animal Crossing Wild World? Long-shot though, I don't know.

29: New Super Mario Bros.

yes to both but you KLXVER beat you by 1 minute on NSMB! 

I saw, it's because I lingered too long on Vinther1991's 26 & 24-combo.

But Animal Crossing I was unsure, that's nice.

KLXVER said:
@S.Peelman: Yep

Sweet.

Number 28: This game debuted on 3DS, but was later ported to everything.
Number 27: This entry in a popular franchise (unlike most of the other entries) gave you the option of completing huge parts of the game in whatever order you like. That isn't necessarily why I love it though.
Number 26 and 24: 26 did to PC, what 24 did to home consoles.
Number 25: This games character returns to platforming for the first time in 2 console generations, and for the first time in 3 console generations, it's in a 2D platformer.

28. Resident Evil Revelations

25. Rayman Origins?

28. Correct!

25. Ah, not quite. Maybe my hint was a little confusing. To my knowledge there has been a Rayman each console generation, though no 2D in the 6th. Number 25 didn't have a traditional platformer during the console generation prior to the one number 25 was released in, and no traditional 2D platformer for the two console generation prior to the one number 25 was released in.

28: Resident Evil: Revelations

27: Zelda A Link Between Worlds

25: ... gonna have to think about that...   EDIT: Ow Rayman, clever axum.

26 and 24: Tough, maybe GoldenEye and Counterstrike? Or something.

28. Yep!

27. Bingo!

26. It's not Counterstrike, no, this one was single-player oriented and was released half a decade earlier. I probably should have said 24 did to home consoles what 26 did to PC, instead of the other way around.

25. Nope, see reply to Axumblade

24. It is GoldenEye!

Donkey Kong Country Returns.

Also, wild guess maybe... Doom?

Also correct!

30: The Wind Waker? I mean who wants to be Hero of Wind when you could be Hero of Time?

29: Metroid Zero Mission.

Come on, Hero of Winds? I'm pretty sure you can think of something WAY lamer than that.

 

Well "Twilight" is pretty lame as well...

Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast

A first-person shooter game often disguised as a third-person adventure game. Or, that's what I figure anyone would do in 'Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast', because what in the world is more awesome than fighting stormtroopers and Dark Jedi with your trusty Lightsaber. Not much, is the answer.

The game is the follow-up to the first, and also awesome, 'Jedi Knight', which in turn was the sequel to the old, influential first-person shooter game, 'Dark Forces'. It revolves around Kyle Katarn, a popular Star Wars Expanded Universe character who's canon existence currently hangs in the balance, and his quest to seek revenge on a pair of Dark Jedi supposedly responsible for killing his partner and right-hand-girl Jan in front of him during the early stages of the game, until he uncovers a deeper plot.

The game is still has the most satisfying experience of Lightsaber combat of any game. I have played through it all the way several times, and I used to save the game at every encounter with the "Reborn" Dark Jedi and the "Shadow Troopers" because of how awesome those fights were. I often went back to fight the best ones over and over. In fact, I feel like doing just that right now!



#28: Inputting a cheat-code will get you a message from a shady cousin Vinnie. Ignoring him is probably smart, because that will get you a whole castle!



Game 33 - Super Mario 64 DS

I didn't appreaciate this game much until the last few years in my life. I don't remember exactly when, but I think I replayed it 1 or 2 years ago and I loved it. There's not much to say about a 20 year old classic. OH RIGHT! Similar to Emerald, there were a lot of internet roumors I followed, like Waluigi or the secret window in Peach's Castle. And there also a lot of cool tricks that I loved doing (The best being finding your way up the castle without all Stars. Since every character got up there differently, it was really freacking cool learning all the differences). 

Game 32 - Mario Kart 8

Probably my favourite racer of all time, with one big flaw that I just can't ignore. Gameplay is great, all the balancing issues (Blue shells...) solved, stages are PHENOMENAL, and soundtrack great too. Heck, the DLC is a steal, and it's even better than the main game! I didn't enjoy it to its fullest until I came to Canada (Venezuelan WiFi is not even a 10th as fast as this. And this is even considered slow!). But, what really ruins it is battle mode. "It's a side mode! Who cares about those?" Well, I do. And we would all care if it was actually good. Heck, it doesn't even have Mission mode the MK DS had! But even with those flaws, the core game is still the best it has been, and 200cc is silly fun as well!

Hint 31: A JRPG with Transformers in another planet.

Hint 30: PETA in a game PETA doesn't like.

Hint 29: Widely acclaimed as the best 3D Platformer of all time.



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.

29- Skies of Arcadia


Hint for 28 ( one last time)- A mirror plays a big role in the good ending of this Metroidvania.
26- Sidequests. So many of them.

Hmm, dunno if someone has mentioned it before, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror? :P
