Man How can anyone at least not consider 2023 as the greatest year? SMBW, TotK, Octopath traveler 2, SMRPG, Star Ocean 2 Remake, Sonic superstars, Metroid Prime and more... To my tastes 2023 is absolutely amazing.

If any of you guys have more suggestions, feel free to Quote and add on!

But based on this short list I put together... And lots, and I mean, LOTS of internal debating, I would have to go...

2022 > 2023* > 2017 > 2021 > 2019 > 2018 > 2020

*This is assuming none of the games listed under 2023 get delayed.

Personally i would add Miitopia to 2021. I absolutely loved it!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

Well, it's a bit early to say as some of those games may yet disappoint, and several of them are remasters/remakes of very old games which for some people isn't as appealing as something new. I love Mario RPG for example, but I already own it so I don't need to get it again.

That said, if Mario Bros Wonder and a few others I have my eye on live up to expectations, I do think 2023 could be a strong contender, for me personally.
