HylianSwordsman said: S.Peelman said: That is also the best game ever created period; The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Metacritic agrees with me. Nintendo inhouse games I’d rank a top 10 like this, lots of Mario and Zelda, but I guess it just is what it is; 1. Zelda Ocarina of Time 2. Super Mario 64 3. Yoshi’s Island 4. Zelda Link’s Awakening 5. Mario Kart 64 6. Zelda Breath of the Wild 7. Super Mario Bros. 3 8. Zelda Twilight Princess 9. Super Mario Galaxy 10. Metroid Fusion Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? I was counting on you to rep Majora's Mask! I thought for sure with your avatar it'd at least be in the top 10.

Haha. Well Majora’s Mask is excellent. I’d say it’s my fifth favorite Zelda game, so with four in this list it falls off by just a bit. Could be #11, or #12.

I’ll admit that I mostly look upon Mario Kart 64 so favorably because it was such an important game to me and has many fond memories attached to it. It’s this high because of nostalgia. It’s still fun, but I couldn’t honestly say it would be better than some other games (or even it’s successors from Wii up). So technically you can scratch that off, and put Majora’s Mask at #10.

No swapping Metroid Fusion for Super Metroid though, while Super Metroid is also excellent, Fusion > Super.

I think even after all these years I still have to give it to Mario 3 - such imaginative colorful environments, perfect controls, appealing gameplay, difficulty that's mostly just challenging enough to be exciting but not anxiety-inducing or unfair. Just about every aspect of the game is perfect.

Though Zelda BotW is a close contender for 2nd - such a rich, dynamic game that looks gorgeous and play fantastically. In-depth but not overwhelmingly complex. A sort of callback to the open-world sensibilites of NES Zelda while still being very flashy and modern. 

Smash Bros. Melee and Mario World are also close runners-up 

BoTW for me, simply because its in my top 5 games off all time. I games like OoT and Twilight Princess but BoTW just nips it. I had a wonderful time playing through that game the gameplay is just Essence.

Hard choiche.
If I had to pick one, it would be Super Mario 64.

My favorite game and Nintendo's best game are two different things.

I think Twilight Princess is their best game. It's just perfectly designed, well paced, had tons of epic moments, and the best boss fights. The world is not needlessly large but it's a big game with tons to explore, nonetheless. It takes all of the greatness of tried and true Zelda formula and refines it to perfection.

My favorite: Pikmin 3. If I play it for a couple of minutes, I'm playing nothing else for the next few days until I beat it. Sending my minions out into an unknown world to explore never gets old.

Paper Mario: TTYD

I love Zelda Wind Waker and Fire Emblem Awakening.. but I'll go with Mario Galaxy 2.

Super Metroid, and Super Mario Galaxy a close second.

Ocarina of Time.

Some of you clearly only read the thread title and not the opening post. :P
