Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")
(killeryoshis note - Who put that there ?)
Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

This list is by no means intended as an objective evaluation of any game's merits. It's simply an honest assessment of how much that game has meant to me. I LOVED this year and last year too in gaming, so there are quite a few new additions to this year's list for my part. In fact, I loved so many new games that I couldn't quite justify squeezing all of them into the 50, but there were others not listed here that came close. Platform-wise, I like to keep my tables short, sweet, and (...more or less...) to the point so they're readable, so I'll be continuing my tradition of just listing my favorite platform on which to play each game. I'm also just gonna go ahead and do the whole list now since, let's be honest, pretty much nobody cares about my preferences anyway and nobody would guess them in the corresponding thread because nobody's even played 20% of them prolly. With that said...

Beetlejuice!
