25. Kirby Super Star SNES

Good enough for me, though the only other Kirby game on there being Air Ride is disappointing.

And Pokemon seriously got shafted, just R/B/G/Y and it's only ranked 28th.

No Super Metroid and just about every main Zelda game above Majora's Mask.......I like these guys.

37. Super Mario 64 DS DS

Was going to compliment them jokingly for good taste in Kirby's Air Ride... and then that happened.

Ugh.

SuperNiceDog? More like SuperChillGuy. Who is better than me at brackets by a mile.

Smash Bros. Brawl shouldn't be top fifty.

Oh dear

But honestly, any list of top 50 Nintendo games is gonna piss somebody off. Hell, my top 10 list of Nintendo games changes every day

--
http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/NathanDrake90.png

It started out ok, but once Xenoblade was put in the top ten, it all started going downhill quickly.

To me, the biggest crime, however, was the SNES Star Fox making the list and Star Fox 64 not being mentioned.

Metroid 1 & 2 over Fusion and Super.

Hey all this is Bartz btw.

Great top 2.

What the Xenoblade.

Where on Earth is Star Fox 64?

Still, hard to disparage a list with Earthbound and Fire Emblem 4 over most everything else.

xfd dude, it's just a popularity contest on the internets.

This is a pretty 'what' list.

No Super Metroid, Prime, or Zero Mission is crazy.

No Super Metroid, Prime, or Zero Mission but #48 for original Metroid has me convinced that there was something shady going on with these ballots because nobody's opinions could be THAT terrible.

Even if that's the case, Metroid 1 is an objectively terrible game! Perhaps the Famicom Disk Drive version doesn't have the same flaws as the NES version, like starting you with 30 health every time, even if you have a maximum health of 700. Still, that's far from the game's only problem!

--
[NO BARKLEY NO PEACE]

Link's Awakening too low.

5. Mother 2 SNES

Didn't really bother reading the rest of the list, but this validates the list, no matter how questionable the other picks are.

the original Mother over Mother 3 what

I actually expected MOTHER to be ahead of even 2, Japan fricking loves MOTHER

--
[NO BARKLEY NO PEACE]
If you can't slam with the best, then jam with the rest.

Way too many NES games for this to be slightly valid. Having any DKCs on the list is also a crime.

Entering the topic, I wondered how much they would overrate Super Mario Bros by. Well then.

Also, Mother and Mother 2, but no Mother 3?

ONLY FIVE CAN LADDER.
Sushi, kamikaze, fujiyama, nippon-ichi...

Mario 1 rated correctly tbqh

Some of these games belong on the 50 worst nintendo games list.

Bah... forget it, i'm not creative enough to think of a clever sig, I'll just write this.

Had to look up a couple of them. They turned out to be text adventures.

....wha. of all the f-zero, they don't go with GX. and there are way too many nes games, with most of them being pretty horrible with how they've aged. hell, some of the snes and gb ones too (mario kart is unplayable, pokemon is unplayable).

wouldn't even consider 10 of those.

and mother 2 wouldn't be anywhere close anything resembling 'best nintendo', but far in the corner with other horrible games.

Good job SuperNiceDog

mario galaxy still is too high, because SMW2 is lower than it. But overall not a bad order.

Mario 64 isn't high enough.

Mario 64 is at least 47 places too high.

"Why must we always choose between certain death and SuperNiceDog?"
"I'm in an epic battle to the death, FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF!"

So that's FE4 at #11, FE3 at #16, FE1 at #47, and nothing more recent makes the list? Unexpected.
