Waking up to so see people posting Top 10's now.....nice!
Mine in alphabetical order this time because otherwise it would be even harder to determine and without BotW because it is my clear number one:

Bloodborne
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Fallout: New Vegas
Metroid Dread
Pikmin 3 Deluxe
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Metroid

EDIT: My list with only one game per franchise because this is fun:

Bayonetta 2
Bloodborne
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Fallout: New Vegas
Pikmin 3 Deluxe
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Last of Us (sadly never played the sequel)
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Metroid

I'm honestly fine with next week being a bust if it is, Three Hopes, Sunbreak and Overwatch 2 beta are on the horizon.

Still I can't see Partners coming back after 2020's unusual circumstances. Mini seems the obvious option if it's not full.

Click to expand...
So, I’ve played many bad games over the years. Some have been bad in terms of content, like Cyberpunk 2077. But if you ask me, that’s not the worst kind of game. The worst kinds of games are those with poor CONTENT. Remember, a glitchy game like Cyberpunk is fixable. You can patch it over the years to make it playable and fun. On the other hand, a game without good content is unfixable. No matter what you do, if it has a bad core or idea at its heart, that’s nothing that can be done to repair it. And the first game that comes to mind when I think about crappy content is the 3DS’ Tomodachi Life.

Every concept needs to be a good one for a game to succeed. This game fails massively in that department. “Wow, your friends can interact with each other.” Yeah, with like three different variations of sentence. “Bill and Phil are playing.” “Bill and Phil are fighting.” “Bill and Phil are making love.” There’s nothing deeper. There’s no connection. There’s no way to remember who is friends with who, or who’s dating, or what. They say there’s beauty in simplicity, but in Tomodachi Life there’s SO much simplicity that you’d basically have to be a two-year-old to find enjoyment in it. What surprises does it offer? Not much, at least not after the first five minutes, that is.

Quite frankly, the interactions don’t get any better out of the apartment building. Oh, but your Miis want to go to the park? Wouldn’t that add some enjoyment? Yeah, haha, NO. Unless you like watching two Miis standing on a Windows XP background hill throwing a frisbee back and forth for two hours. Or what about the cafe? Yeah, let me hear about how my grandma’s Mii finds my friend Jane’s hair nice for the fifteenth scripted time. How interesting. So glad I fished out $60 on Amazon for THIS.

Uh, can I add that the voices are so FUCKING ANNOYING that it made me turn the volume to zero every time I popped this game on? They’re so robotic and creepy. For a game that’s supposed to be quirky and fun, the text-to-speech sure is nightmare-inducing.

Each and every minigame is monotonous, and there seems to be about three of them total. “Guess the islander”, “drop the toy”, and the other one is so fucking boring I can’t even remember what it’s called. Again, this is a game designed for two-year-olds.

Lame, lame, lame. This is clearly Nintendo trying to capitalize on the Animal Crossing and Wii Sports markets by lazily combining their concepts. There’s no passion here, no love, no anything.

Personal Top 5 games is absolutely impossible. I'd have to do like... Top 20, minimum, and I have no idea what order I'd put it in.

I'll do two (not in order at all):

Top 5 RPGs:

  • Persona 5 Royal
  • Chrono Trigger
  • Final Fantasy 9
  • Xenoblade Chronicles
  • Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Top 5 Non-RPGs (maybe?):

  • Bloodborne
  • Hollow Knight
  • Metroid Prime
  • Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker
  • Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

That was extremely painful and I probably forgot a bunch and this could change at the drop of a hat

Well I’ll take a post on why Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival is a good game!
Click to expand...
Alrighty, well I’ve ranted out my least favourite game of all time. Now, to talk about the BEST OF THE BEST.

Well, you’ve played Animal Crossing, right? I’m sure you have. And we all know it’s boring as FUCK. Walk around, pick apples, pay off your debts to a… guinea pig? I don’t know, it was so boring I barely paid attention.

For crap’s sake, Amiibo Festival FIXES all that! It takes everything that the Animal Crossing franchise could have been and creates a fun, joyous party setting. You can sit your friends down, and party ‘til the night is young! Now, the Amiibo integration is excellent too. Up until now, it was like “why bother buying an Amiibo? What is there to play?” Well, other than that shitty ‘Smash Bros.’, which I don’t think ANYONE cares about, there hasn’t been a good reason… until now! Now, you can experience the immersion of pressing your character up to the Wii U GamePad to roll the dice. It’s like you’re really there with them!

Until now, Animal Crossing has looked like hot garbage. Enough with the ugly graphics of New Leaf. This shit’s in HD! Now I can see cute characters like Billy and Bobby the guinea pigs in glorious high definition! The graphics certainly helps with the immersion I mentioned earlier. It’s like a party that you never want to end!

Let’s hear it for Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival! The game that proves there is promise in even the worst of franchises. Maybe someday, Smash Bros. will be converted into an Amiibo-tapping party game, and that can become fun as well!
 
Favourite games:
Breath of the wild
Xenoblade Chronicles
Animal Crossing New Horizons
Skies of Arcadia
Valkyria Chronicles
Golden Sun
Mario Tennis GBC
Fire Emblem 3H
Persona 5
Advance Wars GBA

I didn't really enjoy the game either, but I respect a lot of the things it tried to do. If the sequel focuses on long-form content like full dungeons and rich side quests, I think it could be a real winner.
Click to expand...
I loved it and hated it. Like i wanted more involved areas and actual items. But i enjoyed it but not as a zelda game if we can merge OoT item design and dungeons with what we got in BOTW it could be one of the best games ever made. But im thinking we might need a successor to the switch with an SSD to get something like that

Ok, I can’t hold back the secret.

In each respective post, read the first letter of every paragraph to know my TRUE thoughts about each game :D
 
Switchum writing about how much they love Tomadachi Life only to have to immediately write an essay on how they despise it like a page or 2 later might be the saddest thing I’ve seen in this thread

Holy shit

I don't really have a top 10 or 5. Even my top 3 can change depending on my mood. But here it goes:

3. Xenoblade Chronicles
2. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
1. Conker's Bad Fur Day

Conker is probably controversial. No, the gameplay and even some of the jokes haven't aged well at all (the scene with the gears in particular is just hard to watch) and I wouldn't call it objectively better than Banjo or DKC, but it came around the time 9/11 happened. There was much fearful uncertainty for me, like reality became a perceptible thing to me. I took it for granted.

Then here comes Conker, a character who once raced with Diddy and friends carefree, is now a drunk foul-mouthed critter now living in a cartoony world grounded by reality. The theme of "you don't know what you have until it's gone" at the end of the game struck a chord. With the events that happened during those times and even now, to this day, I try to spend as much time with the people I love as much as possible. We are unfortunately not going to live forever, and I want to try to make every moment count for the better.

Let Nintendo announce a full OS update that includes themes and groups accessible from the main home screen. I'm talking theme themes like 3DS did. Not just more basic colours; full games with background music (Pokemon Legends Arceus, Breath of the Wild) that rotate each time you turn on your Switch, or vibey aesthetics (sunsoaked palm trees, nighttime synthwave, arctic deserts, spooky mansions, space age expeditions, and so on with accompanying copyright free tunes), the return of badge arcade for further decorations, etc.

Now that's an announcement with some chest hair.
Click to expand...
The switch menu is legit baffling, i dont understand how they thought it was good, but whats worse is all the updates did jack shit to improve it.

How was the 3ds menu so much more functional??

That "folder" update made me super sad, meant nintendo was still trying to stick with this crap they made lol
 
I don't have a proper top 5 list that I'd actively think about, but here's a list of games that have made some special kind of lasting impression on me in no particular order:

  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
  • Tetris Effect
  • Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (Lost Future in Europe)
  • Metroid Prime
  • Outer Wilds
And if I don't limit myself to just five, I can add:
  • Elite Beat Agents
  • The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
  • Hollow Knight
  • Heaven's Vault
  • A Monster's Expedition
And now that I realize I have no Mario games here and I've already listed ten, I'll just add that I loved Bowser's Fury. Many list Galaxy 2 among their favourites, but I have a hard time remembering anything about it as I don't think I've played it since the release.

Thinking about top tens in general, I have so many games I absolutely like…

Breath of the Wild
Resident Evil 4
Metroid Prime
Final Fantasy IX
Yoshi’s Island
Super Street Fighter II
Killer 7
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Link’s Awakening
The Last of Us
Persona 4 the Golden
Resident Evil 2
Dead Rising
Ocarina of Time
Deus Ex Human Revolution
Yakuza 0
Xenoblade Chronicles
Sin & Punishment 2
Metal Gear Solid 3 Snake Eater
Deadly Premonition
Super Metroid
Final Fantasy VI
Silent Hill Shattered Memories
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Viewtiful Joe

And there are still tons on of others, like REmake, No More Heroes, 999, Steins; Gate, Batman Arkham Asylum, Left 4 Dead 2, the Ace Attorney games, Bloodborne, Devil May Cry 5, Luigi‘s Mansion 3, Shin Megami Tensei Strange Journey, Paper Mario, Majora’s Mask, Wind Waker, Mega Man 2, Super Mario World, Wareware Inc., Pokémon Gold/Silver, Metal Gear Rising Revengeance… the list goes on 😅
 
I played too many good games to have definitive top 10.

I think my list would always change depending on my mood.

Fire Emblem Path of Radiance is still my number 1 favorite game tho. That hasn’t changed. Probably never will, some games come at the perfect time in your life and those memories are just to hard to beat.
 
Oooh, tops! My top 5 is pretty locked down

1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - A phenomenal adventure offering boundless freedom and flexibility and the most fascinating game world I've ever seen.

2. NieR:Automata - A very striking, emotionally poignant and thought-provoking narrative, with loads of stylish action to boot.

3. Undertale - So sweet and adorable it makes your heart melt, and the hands down funniest game there is. Or a terrifying murder spree.

4. Parasite Eve - Just a masterclass in how to make an unforgettable journey, with a haunting story and setting, a cool protagonist and a god-tier soundtrack.

5. Final Fantasy IX - The JRPG's to end all JRPG's.
 
very hard to come up with a top 5 or 10 but some of my all-time favorites include:

TLoZ Wind Waker HD
TLoZ Breath of the Wild
DKC Tropical Freeze
Persona 5 Royal
Neo TWEWY
NieR Automata
Bloodborne
Super Mario Odyssey
Animal Crossing Wild World
Celeste
Astro Bot: Rescue Mission
Dragon Quest XI
Xenoblade Chronicles X
AI The Somnium Files
Sonic Mania

I'm probably forgetting some stuff but my top 5 there would probably be Neo TWEWY, Xenoblade X, Tropical Freeze and both Zeldas
 
Totally don't keep and edit a 'my top games' list in my spare time... Definitely not..

1. Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
2. World of Warcraft (2004 version. Obligatory mention of how shameful Activision Blizzard is)
3. Dota 2
4. Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
5. Bloodborne

6. Deus Ex
7. Thief II: The Metal Age
8. Final Fantasy IX
9. Super Mario Odyssey
10. Deathloop/Dishonored 2 (can't decide)

Really enjoyed seeing other people's lists too
 
Oh, are we doing top games for some reason?

All I know is that my first is Pathologic 2, and then it's a mess. I can't imagine how people keep a list considering mine change based on mood. Is Okami better than Tropical Freeze? Right now I think yes, tomorrow I'll say no.
 
My momentarily top 5 (not 10, I am at work so this must be a quickie):
1. Breath of the wild
In no particular order:
Hollow knight
A link to the past
NieR Automata
Super mario Odissey

I noticed that, although many just love playing Mario Kart 8 and Smash, it doesn't appear in many top 5/10.
Are only 1-player affairs worth of our praise in the end?

For me I only rank SP yeah, multiplayer fills a different void. Hard to compare
 
Top 5

1. Warcraft 3 [MP]
2. Starcraft [MP]
3. Heroes of Might and Magic 3
4. Breath of the Wild
5. Ever changing - Quake/Hollow Knight/Xenoblade 1-2/Starcraft 2
 
oh! oh! A top 10 list! Hmmmm in no particular order (and maybe tomorrow I'll give another different top 10)

BOTW
Disco Elysium
Super Mario Sunshine
Celeste
Hollow Knight
Resident Evil 4
Metroid Prime
Left4Dead 2
A Link to the Past
Undertale
 
Groups are better than directories, as you can have one game in multiple groups. I have groups by genre and a group for unfinished games, for example, which obviously have overlap. The only issue I have is the lack of quick access directly from the home screen.
 
I never really thought of my top ten games, such a hard list. I will do what I must: (I’m gonna keep it 1 game / franchise otherwise Zelda would clog it up)

1. Breath of the Wild
2. Red Dead Redemption 2
3. Elden Ring
4. Shadow of the Colossus
5. God of War (PS4)
6. Marvel’s Spider-Man
7. Super Mario Galaxy
8. Fallout: New Vegas
9. L.A. Noir
10. DayZ

Now, if I were including Zelda games, I’d have mostly Zelda games in my top 10, so here are my top 10 Zelda games: (I’m probably gonna get banned for this)

1. Twilight Princess
2. Breath of the Wild
3. Majora’s Mask
4. Ocarina of Time
5. Wind Waker
6. A Link to the Past
7. Skyward Sword
8. A Link Between Worlds
9. The Legend of Zelda
10. Link’s Awakening

The reason for Twilight Princess being No.1 on the Zelda list but not on the game list, is because I think Twilight Princess is a better Zelda game, while Breath of the Wild is the better video game.
 
My Top 5 would be

5. Gris (cried so much when I played it, cry even more now)
4. Resident Evil 4 (most played game ever. Red9, TMP are my favs)
3. Xenoblade chronicles 2 or The Wonderful 101 (just a pure bliss, both have the Best climaxes)
2. Pikmin 2 (Perfection)
1. Astral chain (loved everything about it)
 
My top six because choosing is hard, in no particular order

Super Mario Galaxy 2
Pokémon GSC
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
Life is Strange
Pokémon RBY
Donkey Kong Country Returns
 
Tried doing a top 10 but I couldn't take one out of this 11. Celeste would have made it 12 and I debated that long enough already. My top 11 in no order:

Zelda BotW
Zelda OoT
Mario Odyssey
God of War
Journey
Tetris Effect
Last of Us
Metroid Prime
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Hollow Knight
Horizon Zero Dawn

Finding a game on a 3DS is an absolute hassle, much more so than any other modern system. The game icons are so small that they're often confusing or nondescript so you need to actually highlight them to know what you're selecting. Same with the folders that have their own drawbacks as @juuso described above. This is not much of an issue if you only have a few games. But it's lacking all the necessary functions like filtering, ordering or groups you'd need for bigger libraries. The 3DS menu is definitely cute and has "more functions", at least when it comes to customizing it, but it's absolutely not "more functional".

I never really thought of my top ten games, such a hard list. I will do what I must: (I’m gonna keep it 1 game / franchise otherwise Zelda would clog it up)

1. Breath of the Wild
2. Red Dead Redemption 2
3. Elden Ring
4. Shadow of the Colossus
5. God of War (PS4)
6. Marvel’s Spider-Man
7. Super Mario Galaxy
8. Fallout: New Vegas
9. L.A. Noir
10. DayZ

Now, if I were including Zelda games, I’d have mostly Zelda games in my top 10, so here are my top 10 Zelda games: (I’m probably gonna get banned for this)

1. Twilight Princess
2. Breath of the Wild
3. Majora’s Mask
4. Ocarina of Time
5. Wind Waker
6. A Link to the Past
7. Skyward Sword
8. A Link Between Worlds
9. The Legend of Zelda
10. Link’s Awakening

The reason for Twilight Princess being No.1 on the Zelda list but not on the game list, is because I think Twilight Princess is a better Zelda game, while Breath of the Wild is the better video game.

I always find these lists hard, as the ones I’ve played for 3 decades because they are just so playable are hard to shift and end up just sitting there forever.

My ‘favourite games ever’ list, limited to one-per-series, would look something like:
Zelda LTTP
Monster Hunter 4
Megaman X
Dragon Quest V
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Ys: Oath in Felghana
Skyrim
Etrian Odyssey III
SMT Strange Journey
Starfox 64/Lylat Wars

My ‘top five of the last five years’ would look more like:

Monster Hunter Rise
Dragon Quest XI
Streets of Rage 4
Breath of the Wild
Hollow Knight

Even then I probably change my mind every time I write them out. I can’t even settle on my favourite game within my favourite series half the time.

We'll have an INdirect and you'll love it: instead of games we'll get the entire schedule of directs and their running time for the next 3 years! Now you can't hate Nintendo anymore for their dissapointments, checkmate!
 
Impossible question, but here is a random list of games I like that popped into my head:

Nethack
Spelunky
Wizkid: The Story of Wizball 2
Yoshi's Island
Mario 64
Kirby's Dreamland 3
Majora's Mask
Star Control 2
Gradius Gaiden
Bloodborne

On another day it might be completely different.

Is difficult to make a favorite games list but i´ll try!

  • Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario 64 (can´t choose sorry)
  • Rock Band 3 (soo many hours wasted on that game alone lmao)
  • Twilight Princess
  • Portal 2
  • Jet Set Radio Future (For the soundtrack alone that is one of my fav soundtracks ever!)

Edit: Honorable mentions

  • Roller Coaster Tycoon 2
  • Picross Franchise

No shame for Rock Band 3, it's borderline top 10 for me. RB2 and 3 defined high school for me. I was in the top 1% of drummers on the 360 versions, got all the achievements, FCed several songs, and followed the weekly DLC releases.

My momentarily top 5 (not 10, I am at work so this must be a quickie):
1. Breath of the wild
In no particular order:
Hollow knight
A link to the past
NieR Automata
Super mario Odissey

I noticed that, although many just love playing Mario Kart 8 and Smash, it doesn't appear in many top 5/10.
Are only 1-player affairs worth of our praise in the end?

If I ever write a big top games list again, my last one was from five years ago, Mario Kart and Smash in particular would be much higher on my list following 8 Deluxe with the Booster Pass and Smash Ultimate. We’ve had some spectacular multiplayer experiences these past five years and personally with more of my friends and family jumping in with the Switch in particular I’ve made so many awesome memories with them.

Nintendo has seen everyone’s favourite games lists and because no one has included Star Fox (even Star Fox avi users), they’ve cancelled their upcoming Bethesda collab Barrel Rolls V: Rimfox
 
I think today's despair will be when nothing is announced at the usual announcement time and everyone will start dooming about it being a shadowdropped mini again

I'd certainly say having more functions means more functional. The fact i can adjust the size of the little blocks already puts it above the switch menu.
 
Oh, we're doing Top 5:

1) Super Mario World (and all modern iterations)
2) Tetris (and all modern iterations)
3) Wii Sports / Mario Party (and all modern iterations)
4) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
5) Resident Evil 4
