26. Pokémon X/Y

There will always be at least one Poke'mon game on my list. As a franchise Poke'mon is pretty much a must play. What other JRPG franchise has hundreds and hundreds of recruitable characters? What other JRPG franchise has an online VS mode? X/Y makes the list over the other ones, because this is the first time the series jumped from 2D sprites to 3D models. 

Nice. Being the jump from 2D to 3D alone is a bit of a shallow reason, but nice nonetheless. Also, you took 10 hours to beat Portal? Damn.

Just realized Platina actually guessed Wind Waker for the second year running now, huh (see what happens when you don't guess, StarDoor). Anyways, moving on, let's see...

#16 - A game about an owl, a really big tree and two weird-looking creatures, both of which you play as (though one of them only for a couple of really brief moments).

The core games mostly play the same. I haven't played Sun/Moon yet, but as far as I can tell every Poke'mon game has always had the same basic setup. Go to new town, get badge, rinse repeat. Silver/Gold remakes have the best character designs, but they lack online play and the balancing that fairy types bring to the table. Also I forgot to mention that mega forms really changed the meta.

So I got a little behind.

#20

This classic series recently got an adaptation for TV. 

There are healing chicken in walls

#19

Say Fuzzy pickles!

#18

Probably the best flash game ever. It's a tower defense game.



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.

#15 This launch game had a greater than 100% attach rate the month it was released.

Breath of the Wild.

Correct!

Ok, time for more hints:


#17 This fantasy co-op arcade game is the 2nd in the series. If you think about it, it's really a shoot 'em up.
Hint 2: "Traps make walls disappear."
Hint 3: This series popularized 4-player co-op in the arcades.  It was also one of the main reasons to get a 4-Score (4-player) for the NES.


#16 This 80's arcade game could be described as Minecraft with a bicycle pump.
Hint 2: This game was in Stranger Things 2.
Hint 3: The title of this game is two verbs.  One of the verbs is the past tense of the other.


#15 This launch game had a greater than 100% attach rate the month it was released.

#14 I played this game on the PS3, and it came bundled with several expensive controllers.

#17: Gauntlet II?

#15: Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

Both Correct!  Although mZuzek beat you on Breath of the Wild

Guitar Hero World Tour? I don't know, wild guess.

This is not it, but you are very much on the right track.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

Correct on the first 2. Kinda close on 18. You can actually buy it on Steam or play it on you phone (free or paid).

Mmm.. I guess then I'd be guessing what mZuzek's guessing, but just in case he's wrong, I'm going to guess the first Rock Band.

Yep, it is Rock Band.  The two games are pretty much the same to me (except song lists) so I just picked the first one.

Both correct. I realize I forgot the fourth hint for game #15. I had difficulties to think up one and decided to make the other first.
