1995 Is easily one of the greatest years in games. Only 1998 rivals it.

FFVI is 1994, no? Still, a great year.

I think it all hinges on October-December.

If Xenoblade 2 is as good as Xenoblade 1, and Odyssey is as good as 64/Galaxy, then I think 2017 could rival 1998.

Normally I don't count my Chickens before they hatch, but every 3D Mario for the last 20 years has been amazing. The only exception was 3D World, but that was more like 2.5D. I really don't think Xenoblade 2 will come out this year. If it does that would be huge.

Ahahaha! It is coming out this year! Way to prove me wrong Nintendo.

One step closer! ;)

I think it's definitely a conversation worth revisiting at the end of the year.

If that happens I may just have to concur with the OP that this is the best year in gaming to date.

It's easily the best since 2010, but whether it can top that year (Mario Galaxy 2, Mass Effect 2, Bayonetta, Monster Hunter Tri, Bioshock 2, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Halo Reach...) remains to be seen.

Galaxy 2, and Mass Effect 2 were great. Monster Hunter Tri was my first MH game. 2010 was one of the best for sure.

2007 was pretty rad too; Mario Galaxy, COD4, Bioshock, Metroid Prime 3, Mass Effect, Portal, Uncharted...

Read the list again, it has a Zelda.

*edit* Not to mention

Tri Force Heroes

Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE.

Majora's Mask 3D is a remaster, Tri Force Heroes is a spin-off. 2015 didn't have a real Zelda, never mind one that can even hope to compare to Breath of the Wild.

And, it had a lot of other things, lol.

Lol, this is a best year in gaming thread and it's funny how many people are literally only bringing up Nintendo games.

HAHAHAHHAHAHA lol, I mean ok the Wii U yes, but still, have a little faith in Nintendo, it's been a long time since they ever had a situation like the Wii U, it was a rare scenario for them for a product of theirs to do that bad.

But anyways, these are funny looking back on them now.

Sorry man, 1998. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Mario Party, Banjo-Kazooie, F-Zero X, Metal Gear Solid, StarCraft, Half Life, Parasite Eve, Rainbow 6, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Fallout 2, Resident Evil 2, Xenogears, Tomb Raider 3, Sonic Adventure, Suikoden 2, Pokémon Yellow, it doesn't even end there.

This was very educative. I hadn't started following game dev back then, so I didn't realize that all these industry defining games came out that year
