Why can't I edit my post?

Your images in your post contained the whole data of the images (as opposed to links pointing toward the images). Some the images were massive making your post too big for the field in the DB. For that offense, you'll now be permabanned...

Okay maybe not. Seriously, I edited your post to save the text and kill the images. Feel free to add in the images and formatting once again but instead of choosing "Copy image" use "Copy image address" and add the images with the editor.



Signature goes here!

I didn't actually copy images, I inserted downloaded images.

Yeah, copy the link to the image where you downloaded it instead. That's what I do.

20.  Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

Nope, you're getting close, but this is main line entry.

Doh!  There are several Zelda games I haven't played or have a poor memory of.  Is it Twilight Princess?

More hints:

#14:

  • The shards of the primordial man's soul influence the fate of great kingdoms.
  • The shards manifest themselves in the form of women, each encompassing one aspect of the primordial man.
  • Said primordial man in a monstrous form was one of the most difficult bosses in the previous game in the series.
  • Nashandra, Elana, Nadalia and Alsanna.

#11:

  • Junior Bracers.
  • During the game, the two main characters befriend the heir to the kingdom's throne.
  • Ouroboros.
  • The first game in a story-arc which includes at least 11 games in total, split into several sub-series.

11.  Trails in the Sky?

More clues from me:

17.  a)  The game has one of my favorite characters in the series: a badass samurai ghost.
b) A female party member becomes the main protagonist in the sequel.

15. a) This game was made in response to parents complaining to the developer that RPGs are games where people murder and steal.
b)  While I played this game on the NES many PC gamers consider this the best RPG of the 80s.

14.  Use a hammer to cut down trees.

13.  This SRPG series was released after Fire Emblem in Japan, but before Fire Emblem in the US.  Second game.

12.  Only one of three playable characters uses the weapon in the title of this game.  Although I suppose the main villain does too.

Here are some more hints for mine:

14. Considered the best in this RPG series that has a reboot in development by a different developer, because the original studio got shut down about 5 years ago.

13. 3D platformer where you travel to kingdoms trying to rescue a certain someone.

12. The first game(s?) in a popular turn-based RPG that just celebrated its 25th anniversary.

11. This 2D platformer sequel is on a console that goes by 2 different names that also had 2 failed add-ons. Think Sega does what Nintendon't.

#14: This begs the question, which one is considered the best Fable game. Internet seems split about this, but a slight edge towards Fable II, so this one.

#12: Pokemon Red/Blue

#11: Sonic the Hedgehog 2?

Guessed by drbunnig

A legendary game, which I played many, many times. However, I never beat it. Nor did I ever beat its successor. This is because they are actually quite challenging. Maybe not in the realm of say NES Ninja Gaiden or Battletoads, but challenging nonetheless. Especially for a younger person. It's great though, because it has sword fights. The impressive thing is that even though this is a sprite based game, and its earliest release was in 1989, the animations are really detailed. Movement of the characters in all kinds of motions and directions are extremely fluid.

The premise is simple, escape the dungeon and make your way up through the palace to reach the throne room to save the princess from the usurper Jaffar who wants to take over the kingdom while the sultan is away at war. Halfway through the game you come across an impassable mirror. For year, years, we tried everything to get past it. Break it, jump over it, go around it. Nothing worked. Remember this weren't the days where you could just look up a walkthrough on the internet. One faithful day, probably in frustration, I just ran towards it and jumped. Lo and behold, you go right through! Years down the drain, but, ahh, the good old days.

17 is correct!

15 and 12 are incorrect.

14. It is Fable 2. So Mnementh is right.

13. The_Liquid_Laser - So close with this one. 

12. Both right on this one

11. Both right again.

Is 13 Super Mario Odyssey?
