Discussion Your Retroactive GOTY for Every Year since 1985

Title explains it all. I was born in 1988 got introduced to NES as a toddler and went back and played old games so I can look at game releases on wikipedia and see what my GOTY's for those games would be. You can go earlier t han 1985 if you want but I believe 1985 is when the home console market took off worldwide so I think it's a good starting point.

I say retroactive because gaming tastes change over a lifetime and sometimes you play a game years after it's release and really enjoy it so it changes your vote. I'll start.

Now for the record. This was heartbreaking. And this is not a list that would EVER stay the same should I do it again.
There are WAY too many good games from Fallout 2 to Dungeon Master and Kirby's epic Yarn to Betrayal at Krondor, Baldur's Gate, King's Quests etc. etc.

This was a list of GOTY games, not THE list.
 
I made a list like this on Backloggd, only from games I have logged there (so it's missing games I played as a kid I can't reasonably review now). I'll post my picks anyway:

1985 - Nothing at the moment
1986 - Zelda
1987 - Mega Man
1988 - Super Mario Bros 3
1989 - Nothing at the moment
1990 - Mega Man 3
1991 - A Link to the Past
1992 - Mega Man 5
1993 - Mega Man X
1994 - Earthbound
1995 - Chrono Trigger
1996 - Mario 64
1997 - Final Fantasy VII
1998 - Banjo-Kazooie
1999 - Nothing at the moment
2000 - Final Fantasy IX
2001 - Ace Attorney 1
2002 - Metroid Fusion
2003 - Fire Emblem 7
2004 - Ace Attorney 3
2005 - Mega Man Zero 4

2018 - Celeste
2019 - FE Three Houses
2020 - Xenoblade DE
2021 - Metroid Dread

I marked in bold the games I consider absolute top tier. I marked in italics the ones that are a bit "filler" (sorry, I don't like the original Zelda all that much).

I will be using North American release dates unless the game never got released on its initial platform in North America, because whenever I do my "retroactive" Game of the Years I want to pick games that I would have actually feasibly played in that year if I was actually playing video games at the time as an enthusiast importer who still typically waits for North American releases. I will also be doing this because I consider localizations parts of the games themselves; Gyakuten Saiban 3 released on the GBA in 2004 is not something I like nearly as much as "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations," released on the DS in 2007, as the English script is just something I enjoy a lot more. I'll also be doing this because I think looking at specifically the North American games industry is interesting and is what this forum would have focused on if it hypothetically existed at any one of these specific points in time. But also using only North American release dates would preclude a handful of the games below from qualifying at all, so I'll use the games' release date in their country of origin for those games.

Really difficult for me to pick and I'm sure if I made the list again there'd be some changes or maybe even additions that I'd forgotten about. Also, some of the years might be a bit weird because I was indecisive on choosing the year the game came out for my region or the year the game came out first in general.
 
It's interesting looking at my list to see how my gaming tastes changed over the years. Tried to stick with the original Japanese release dates for a lot of early games for historical reasons even though I didn't play them until way, way later.

Boy, there are some rough years in there, at least according to my tastes. I am looking at you, 1986 and 2012.

On the other hand, there are years where it's heartbreaking to leave some masterpieces (or near masterpieces) out of the list, like EarthBound, Sonic 2, Hollow Knight, Okami, Wario Land (2 and 3), Metal Gear Solid V, Sekiro, and others.

I hope I didn't mess up any release years, as especially early on there are some wildly different dates depending on the region. I always considered the North American release year, which is why Super Mario Bros. 3 is all the way in 1990, for instance.

1985 - Super Mario Bros.
1986 - Ghosts 'n Goblins
1987 - The Legend of Zelda
1988 - Metal Gear
1989 - Mega Man 2
1990 - Super Mario Bros. 3
1991 - Super Mario World
1992 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
1993 - The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening

2009: Uncharted 2: Among Thieves (Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, Punch-Out!! Wii)
2010: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Xenoblade Chronicles, The Legend of Heroes: Trails from Zero)
2011: Rhythm Heaven Fever (The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, The Legend of Heroes: Trails to Azure)
2012: Kid Icarus: Uprising (Fire Emblem Awakening, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed)
2013: The Last of Us (Super Mario 3D World, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds)
2014: Mario Kart 8 (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U)
2015: Splatoon (Rhythm Heaven Megamix, The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes)
2016: Persona 5 (Uncharted 4: A Thief's End, Pokemon Sun/Moon)
2017: The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2)
2018: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate (Celeste, Valkyria Chronicles 4)
2019: Fire Emblem: Three Houses (AI: The Somnium Files, Super Mario Maker 2)
2020: The Last of Us Part II (Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout)
2021: It Takes Two (Metroid Dread, Psychonauts 2)
2022 so far: Pokemon Legends: Arceus (Triangle Strategy, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands)

For some of the years--particularly a lot of the earlier years--the choice was easy, but for a lot of the early-to-mid 2000s in particular, it was very difficult to pick a winner. 1995 was also really difficult--it was a painful decision, but I ended up going with Chrono Trigger over DKC2 despite the latter being one of my definitive childhood games.
 
This is a fun exercise. Spotting where the strong and soft years are also helps prioritize the backlog. Like I never need to play another game released in 1992, but I should take a look at Outer Wilds to get rid off Sword & Shield.

Went by regional release dates, because it makes for more unique lists in this thread.

1984 - Summer Games (C64)

The biggest omission doing favorite games this way is tactics/strategy side of me is barely represented, as XCOM and the various Civs got edged out.

Now back to scanning other people's lists for ideas on how to strengthen my weak years.

1994 - Super Metroid
1995 - Yoshi’s Island
1996 - Super Mario 64
1997 - Very close between Star Fox 64, Yoshi’s Story and Final Fantasy VII

2020 - Hades
2021 - Metroid Dread
2022 - Neon White

Oh! I did this last year! I think someone on Twitter, probably a Nintentuber or something, posted this grid image and I had edited the top row onto it before filling it out.

Z9TAEyr.png

And then for 2021 it's easily Metroid Dread baybeeeeee

Retroactively, if I were to have done it right now and also forced myself not to pick multiples, I'd probably revise it like so;
  • 1985: Still SMB orrrrrr tbh if I were to do another image I'd kick this year off the list to make room for 2021 sorry
  • 1987: Contra (NES)
  • 1989: Tetris (GB)
  • 1995: Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (SNES)
  • 1996: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (SNES)
  • 1997: Diddy Kong Racing (N64)
  • 1999: Super Smash Bros. (N64)
  • 2001: Super Smash Bros. Melee (GCN)
  • 2002: The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (GCN)
  • 2003: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic (PC)
  • 2004: Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords (PC)
  • 2005: DragonFable (PC)
  • 2006: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (GCN)
  • 2007: Super Paper Mario (Wii)
  • 2009: Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii)
  • 2011: Project M (Wii/PC)
  • 2012: Kid Icarus: Uprising (3DS)
  • 2013: Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)
  • 2014: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Wii U)
  • 2015: Undertale (PC)
  • 2016: AM2R: Another Metroid 2 Remake (PC)
  • 2017: Resident Evil VII: Biohazard in VR (PSVR)
  • 2019: Jedi: Fallen Order (PS4)
  • 2020: Ghost of Tsushima (PS4)
  • 2021: Metroid Dread (NS)
  • 2022: Persona 5 Royal (NS)
(i'm aware p5r isn't out on switch yet but i really really really like both it and ghost of tsushima whereas this year hasn't been super exciting for me. if something surprising happens before december i'll bite the bullet and rearrange things, and for now i'm going with this)

It's worth noting I'd rather play Tetris on anything modern esp if it's 99 or Puyo Puyo, NES Metroid and A Link to the Past on GBA, one of the 16-bit All-Stars ports of SMB1 and SMB3, Diddy Kong Racing on DS, Ocarina and Majora either on the GC Collector's disk or 3DS, Wind Waker and Twilight Princess on Wii U, and SM3DW and DKC:TF on Switch, with the rest on their original platform, but the above is how it best works out on the grid and so there it is.

Also here's this if anyone wants it

Here are mine, listed by North American release date. Been working on this for awhile now, lol. Rather than limit myself to just one game per year, which I could never do, I instead opted to break it down by console. But even so, some years I couldn’t just pick one game per console…and then I just kinda gave up further down in the list once there just started to be too many great and influential games to me that I simply couldn’t narrow it down to just one, two, or even three in some cases…lol. But I spent entirely too much time putting this together so I can’t not share it now, even if I kinda threw out the whole “game of the year” thing. =p

Like I said, I may have gone a bit overboard…lol. Also, making this list has just further highlighted to me why arbitrarily dividing games up by year just doesn’t make much sense. What’d be better would be, rather than a “game of the year” list, to have a “games of the console” list, where you list your top 5 or so games per console. Might not work out as nicely for people who play a lot of multiplatform stuff, I guess, but it’d work great for Nintendo-exclusive gamers like me.
 
I keep track of my own personal game of the year since 2001 and my rule is no going back and changing it - gotta stick with what you thought at the time no matter what. So everything pre-2001 would be retroactive for me.

1985 - Super Mario Bros.
1986 - Metroid, I guess?
1987 - The Legend of Zelda
1988 - Super Mario Bros. 2
1989 - Dragon Quest
1990 - Super Mario Bros. 3
1991 - Super Mario World
1992 - Super Mario Kart
1993 - Super Mario All-Stars

What can I say, early gaming was basically defined by Mario for me. After 93 things get a tiny bit more interesting.

1994 - Donkey Kong Country
1995 - Yoshi’s Island
1996 - Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
1997 - Star Fox 64
1998 - Pokémon Red / Blue
1999 - Super Smash Bros.
2000 - Pokémon Gold / Silver

Then the defined GOTY era, continuing to this day…

2001 - Super Smash Bros. Melee
2002 - Super Mario Sunshine
2003 - The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
2004 - Tales of Symphonia
2005 - Shadow of the Colossus
2006 - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
2007 - Super Mario Galaxy
2008 - Super Smash Bros. Brawl
2009 - Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
2010 - Mass Effect 3
2011 - LittleBigPlanet 2
2012 - Journey
2013 - The Last of Us
2014 - Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn
2015 - Rocket League
- The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt (only year I couldn’t decide)
2016 - Stardew Valley
2017 - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
2018 - Monster Hunter: World
2019 - Dragon Quest XI S: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Definitive Edition
2020 - Ghost of Tsushima

This hurt my head but I did it 🤘
 
I wonder if I should take all the posts, and use them as data to do a Retroactive GOTY thing lol?
I was just about to suggest who is gonna be the poor sap to aggregate all this data for us into a comprehensive community GOTY retrospective lol.

I was thinking the same, but things could get a bit complicated because sometimes the same game is listed in various years as people took into account the release dates from different regions. That could be an issue!

I was just about to suggest who is gonna be the poor sap to aggregate all this data for us into a comprehensive community GOTY retrospective lol.
Aside from what I mentioned above, assuming the games' titles are written correctly and in the same way, it shouldn't be too hard to code something like that as long as one has access to the posts in their pure text format. I assume bellydrum has that power.

@Tye really glad to see under-appreciated gems like Tri Force Heroes and Color Splash on your list. I need to check out things like Aura-Aura Climber before the 3DS eShop closes. I think the DSiWare games are still there.

@chocolate_supra neat list here too! As a fellow Y-LIL megafan I'm hard pressed to choose between that and Luigi's Mansion 3 for 2019. And speaking of mega, I see you have Mega Man X on your list, a game I've been meaning to try out on the SNES Classic for a while now. I'm slowly making my way through the original MM games. I played MM2 in 2014 and am nearing the finish line on MM3. I've been playing it on and off since May. It's mostly enjoyable as a new player but there is a level of early platforming jank to the games for me. Does the X series have the same kinda punishing difficulty and/or jank? I kind of have the impression it's more modern.

Thanks! There are so many more that I wanted to include too but I tried to limit myself, lol. Lots of great Nintendo games that go overlooked and/or underappreciated by most. And yeah, it’s sad that some of these games are just going to stop being legitimately obtainable anymore, and most probably won’t ever be rereleased again… =(

Jank, no. It's much more refined. But it is still challenging. Though I think the challenge is balanced out in the X series by the improved movement, more robust moveset, and additional upgrades (there's more than just the stuff you get from bosses). I enjoy playing through X a lot more than the original series.

Thanks for the info! That sounds much more in my wheelhouse for sure. I love challenging platformers. It's just the combined difficulty and charming jankiness of the original MM that means I use save states much more and I think I find it part fun and part intriguing gaming curio.
