Hero-of-Time Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I have been meaning to post this for a week now and have finally got around to doing it. In this months ONM they gave a list of games that have appeared on Nintendo consoles and put them into an order of what they think is the top 100. 1. Super Mario Bros 2. Zelda:Ocarina of Time 3. Super Mario Galaxy 4. Mario Kart Wii 5. Tetris 6. Super Mario 64 7. Super Mario World 8. Zelda:Link to the Past 9. Resident Evil 4 10. Super Street Fighter II 11. Super Mario Bros. 3 12.

Donkey Kong 64 90. Super Monkey Ball 91. Beyond Good and Evil 92. F-Zero GX 93. Jet Force Gemini 94. Metroid Zero Mission 95. Killer Instinct 96. Kirby Power Paintbrush 97. Conkers Bad Fur Day 98. Bomberman Blast 99. Luigis Mansion 100. Star Wars: Rogue Leader Phew! Personally I think the choice of games and the order of alot of them that are in the list is very flawed. Alot of Rares efforts should be a hell of alot higher than they are and the one that pees me off the most is the placement of Phantom Hourglass. How it got higher than Majora's Mask, Oracles games and Minish Cap is beyond me! Whats your thoughts on ONMs selection and placement of the games?

Ganepark32 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Well just reading some of the titles in the bottom 10 shows you how wrong the list is. 100. Star Wars Rogue Leader 96. Kirby's Power Paintbrush 92. F Zero GX 91. Beyond Good and Evil Those four in particular are so far out of place it's unbelievable. F Zero GX is one of the best racers ever and the best futuristic racer available. Kirby's Power Paintbrush rejuvenated a stagnant Kirby franchise, giving it a new lease of life and being one hell of a platformer. Star Wars Rogue Leader really did some amazing things with the N64 tech and really should be higher. And finally, Beyond Good and Evil is one of the finest non-Zelda adventures ever. Really, I'm hoping Ubisoft release it on the New Play Control line for the Wii. Other placements in that list are really off as well. I can understand Guitar Hero World Tour being on the list because it pioneered DLC for the Wii and unlocked the SD card for playing off of but it should not be that high. Really I could moan alot about the placements throughout that list but it's not really worth it. ONM aren't exactly great at doing what they do as a Nintendo magazine. Oh ok one last point. Chrono Trigger, one of the greatest games of all time and quite possibly the greatest RPG of all time (yes I've dared to say it), should be higher. And so too should Okami. I'll stop now.

Cube Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I'm quite surprised that Banjo and Perfect Dark made it on there. Sure, they're insanely low but it's a lot better than I expected from ONM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Lol at mario kart Wii and Brawl being that high, just lol. F-Zero GX should be top 10 easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 ONLY using games I've played, think my top 10 would be: 1. Zelda: Ocarina of Time 2. Super Smash Bros. Melee 3. Super Mario 64 4. Resident Evil 4 5. F-Zero X 6. Wii Sports 7. Pokemon Red 8. Goldeneye 9. Mario Kart Wii 10. Metroid Prime [11. Diddy Kong Racing] [12. Super Mario Galaxy] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris the great Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 hum, the list isnt what id go for, but then i guess it was, in broad terms, a good list of supreme nintendo games, even if the order want right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 ZOMG! Ocarina of Time not first has the world gone mad! :p Also Super Metroid not in the Top Ten. The list is flawed I tells yah! Nah It is hard to do any list as it is down to personal preference and hard to place a whole bunch of games close in quality above one another in a good order. So I think they have done fairly well and got all the right games in there but I would have put Ocarina of Time first and Super Metroid in the Top Ten Mario Kart Wii should be much lower down as although it is a fantastic game it is not derserving of the Top Ten in my eyes and 4th place above the likes of F-Zero GX, Super Mario 64 and A Link to the Past. (and pretty much a lot of the games) If anyone wants to compare my tentative, Top Ten: 1. Ocarina of Time 2. Super Metroid 3. Resident Evil 4 4. Pokemon series 5. Tetris 6. A Link to the Past 7. Super Mario Galaxy 8. Wind Waker 9. F-Zero GX 10. Lylat Wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 WTF, no Tales of Symphonia? Glad to see World of Goo made it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcj metroid Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 oh god OOT seems to HAVE to be number 1 or the fans will be crying.. which is a shame because I do believe majoras mask is the superior game in almost everyway. oh and by the way metroid prime number 18? and higher than super metroid? not only should super metroid be in the top ten but it should certainly be higher than metroid prime.. The list once again is fail. I have yet to find one that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 As other people have done it, my top 10 Nintendo games: 1. Banjo-Kazooie 2. Perfect Dark 3. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption 4. The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker 5. Metroid Prime 6. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 7. Lylat Wars 8. F-Zero GX 9. Jet Force Gemini 10. Banjo-Tooie I miss the N64...

Grazza Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Can't resist doing this myself... 1. Zelda: The Wind Waker 2. Zelda: Majora's Mask 3. Zelda: Ocarina of Time 4. Zelda: Twilight Princess 5. Super Mario Sunshine 6. Super Mario World 7. Super Mario 64 8. Metroid: Zero Mission 9. Metroid Fusion 10. F-Zero GX I can't really choose an order, so I've just grouped the series together. F-Zero on the SNES just misses out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 No Superman 64? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Meeeh. It's all wack. 1. FFVI 2. Secret of Mana 3. No More Heroes (complete fail that it's not up there at all) 4. Zelda A Link to the Past 5. Star Fox (Lylat Wars I think) 6. F-Zero 7. Metroid Prime 8. Tales of Symphonia 9. Resident Evil 4 10. Okami FYI that is no real order, just numbered for the hell of it and likely to change on a whim. Also, I think that Beyond Good and Evil can go crawl in hole and die. I know I'm one of the few though(but not the only), but that game is just so blehghrd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emasher Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 You know, I would put a list of my top 10, but I'm thinking instead I'm going to go through every Nintendo game I own and put them in order of preference latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolness Bears Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 No Superman 64? That is awesome for an entirely different reason and would be put on a very different list. man was it frustrating. >_____< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Falcon Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Well of the all those games, I've played 69 and have 50 in my collection and I can understand most of them being there. And whilst for my tastes the are some glaring omissions (Fire Emblem and Golden Sun immediately spring to mind) and lots of questionable placement, that is par for the course when it comes to lists I'm afraid. Having just said that, however, as bad as they are for having the gall to put MK Wii in the top 10, the fact that MK: DD even makes the list full stop (and at 63 no less) is pretty insulting.

I know I'm one of the few though(but not the only), but that game is just so blehghrd. Oh you... Funny sort of a list. It pretty much covers all the right games but has some questionable entries- MK Wii being so high for a start! My top ten would be tough to pin down as would my top hundred, just depends on mood mostly, doesn't it! Let's-a-go: 1- Donkey Kong Country 3 ...then it gets a bit hazy. 2- Mario Galaxy 3- Yoshi's Island 4- F-Zero 5- Majora's Mask 6- GoldenEye 7- Skies of Arcadia 9- Twilight Princess 10- Mario World Who knows. Its not an exact science! I'm splitting hairs there with trying to just name a top ten. Path of Radiance wants to sneak in to it as does Nintendogs and Animal Crossing: Wild World because I had a great time playing them. (Mario 64, Ocarina of Time...?)

Emasher Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Huh? But it's the best Mario Kart... For me it was one of the worst TBH. 64 and DS were my favorites, followed by super circuit. I've never played the original though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Captain Falcon Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Huh? But it's the best Mario Kart... You really think so? For me it was one of the worst TBH. 64 and DS were my favorites, followed by super circuit. I've never played the original though. I'm with you Esmasher. 64 was definitely the best in my book followed by DS. Mario Kart: DD was slow with shoddy handling, questionable physics and dull track design (and it didn't even feature go karts...). F-Zero GX came out a couple of months earlier (everywhere else at least, we got it the same month) and it blew it out the water in every category going except multiplayer. I honestly don't see how they could release that game having seen SEGA's masterpiece. The 64 version was where it's at. 150cc actually felt like you were moving at a fair lick and the courses showed more variation. The DS one has some really inspired tracks and the MK Wii, has a few gems as well. DD was just dull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 I admit - MK64 was absolutely awesome on Bowser's Castle for 3 or 4 players, thanks to the awesome glitch that speeded everything up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheikah Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 That has to be one of the worst lists I've ever seen, but that is to be expected from ONM. I used to buy the magazine many years ago (then NOM) even though I knew it was pretty much drivel. The free gifts were what swung it for me (bless the Chain Chomp and Pokeball beach balls). One of the most amusing moments in that magazine (yet a true display of their incompetence) was when one of their staff named Michael Jackson (I kid you not) got the team thrown out of an E3 showcase room for the DS when he drew a cock in pictochat. But really though...look how low down Chrono Trigger is. Super Mario Bros as #1? Majora's Mask #45? Goldeneye #55? Silly wankers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMS is the true "I used to buy it many years ago" acronym you want to be referring to when you try to hark back to ye olde beginning of time. But really though...look how low down Chrono Trigger is. Super Mario Bros as #1? Majora's Mask #45? Goldeneye #55? Silly wankers. I see what your saying, but like I said above, its really splitting hairs. I mean, its not like the games that come in above those ones you mentioned are crap or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NMS is the true "I used to buy it many years ago" acronym you want to be referring to when you try to hark back to ye olde beginning of time. I only got it from the N64 period onwards where it was NOM. I wasn't that hardcore. I see what your saying, but like I said above, its really splitting hairs. I mean, its not like the games that come in above those ones you mentioned are crap or anything. Uhh, from what I can tell from the first post they've been put into an order, so you can at least say that it's mental that Goldeneye, often cited as one of the best games of all time, is ranked #55. The same for Majora's Mask which is mysteriously so far below OoT, despite gameplay being so similar and most aspects of it being either the same or better. I mean, sure, a lot of them games deserve to be put in the top 100. But the order for them pretty much counters the believable. It's like they pulled a list out of their arse. :p Here's a thought. I'll bold it for a bit of fun for anyone to try answer: Justify in under 100 words how anyone with a sane mind could rate Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour (2 places above) and Pilotwings 64 (15 places above) higher than Goldeneye.
