Well, the top 3 will undoubtedly be 1st party titles.

They said that Mutant Mudds will be the highest ranked 3rd party title on their list, and described it as the kind of magical experience that will share the same hallowed grounds as Mega Man 2 & Super Mario RPG.

haha. Oh geez that's a funny joke. Those guys have an amazing sense of humor!

If you think that's funny, they mentioned Mega Man 2 as well.

I'm about to ROFLcopter over here.

This list is crazy, showing how they don't have the best taste in games. Mutant Mudds 5th? I can see it closer to the bottom, but 5th... It really was a fun game, but short. If the list were based on how much fun it was with no care to time, Gunman Clive would be very high.
Another thing is that they have 3D land, LMDM, MK7 and TLoZ:OoT3D left, for 3 spots. That means one of them did not make it. If it isn't MK7 then this list is about as reliable as @SMEXIZELDAMAN~

I have a strong feeling I'm never going to care about Nintendo World Report ever again after this.

...so nothing would change, really.

I'm sure Ocarina of Time 3D will be near the top of the list. That has got to be the most overrated game ever made, in all its forms.

If I wasn't giving original games bonus points, I wouldn't mind their top 3 being Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon, Super Mario 3D Land and Ocarina of Time 3D, leaving Mario Kart 7 out. The experience of Ocarina of Time is fantastic, one of the best on the system.

It's excellent, but there are far better games on the system, in my opinion.

Maybe a lack of nostalgia is to blame. Until 2011 I'd never even played OoT in any form.

I didn't beat Ocarina of Time until late 2012, and that was off of the 3D edition. I did play the N64 version before finally beating it though, but I wouldn't say I had the nostalgia levels of a person that played it when it actually released.

Short shouldn't even be a factor to their list. If a game gives me an amazing 8 hours worth to 100%, where as another game gives me an enjoyable 20 hours, I'm taking the former. Shorter, amazing experiences lead to replays sooner in my opinion, which will give the game more legs than a longer game.

I'll guess that it's:

3. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
2. Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon
1. Kid Icarus: Uprising

Although I wouldn't be surprised if Super Mario 3D Land replaces OoT3D.

With the four titles left I've just mentioned, I don't think Mario Kart 7 has much of a chance.

Looks like KI:U, Super Mario 3D Land, Ocarina of Time 3D and Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon all have a shot at 9.5. I was under the impression that they reviewed Uprising low, like an 8.5. Dang.

The list better end up like that or with Code of Princess as 3rd or this list will be-oh who really cares. It's just NWR...

I-U

Code of Princess reviewed an 8 on their site. I don't think it has a chance, though I'd take it over proabably all but Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon in terms of what's up for the Top 3. I had a lot of fun in the ~8 hours I played.

It won't be Code of Princess (or any other 3rd party title), because they've already said they thought Mutant Mudds is the best 3rd party effort on the system, and that the top 4 will be all Nintendo titles.

RR529 already said MutantMudds was the last 3rd party game.

@I-U If those are the score of those 4 games I don't see how one won't make this list which goes to show its all screwed up!

Ninja'd lol. Still can't believe that Mudds is the best 3rd party game lol. What a joke!!

I would have taken you for a heretic.

It is, but it absolutely applies to Ocarina of Time. People treat it with a kind of reverence that I will never understand. The game has a lot of bad game design that keeps it from achieving its full potential.

From a completely objective standpoint, Ocarina of Time is far too flawed as a game to be the number 1 all-time game.

Poor design showing in the Water Temple is first, but OOT3D fixed that.

Still, we have the bizarre design choices (running being slower then backflips/sidejumps), the bad level design at times (not all of it, mainly Master Quest), annoying backtracking, etc;

And the main problem I have with the 3DS version is that by 3DS game standards it's not very pretty. They left so many areas untouched. Star Fox 64 3D did a much better job of upgrading the graphics.

I don't know, I thought the eye-poppingly cool 3D and revised character models made up for them leaving some dark, grungy dungeons untouched (if that is indeed the case). Everything I saw looked great, at least. Of course, the revision of Star Fox 64 was amazing as well. It's such a pity they didn't add online multiplayer to that...

If you think they left some parts untouched, you should go compare both games side to side, the 3DS version always looks 10 times better, even if it's not "up to the standards".

Also, I never had any problems with the water temple as a 9 years old kid who couldn't read english... I don't understand why so many people found it hard or annoying.

Bloop.

I did find it hard but not broken or designed poorly.
For me it is still a great game, every bit as good as it was in 1998 except that it doesn't surprise anymore (at least not me).

I said yesterday but I'll say it again: Mutant Mudds as the best 3rd party effort is a joke, a very bad one btw. New Super Mario Bros 2 in seventh is another one nearly as bad.

Did you finish my post? If the list were based on that, Gunman Clive would win by far because of an amazing 30 minutes of gameplay (in my opinion). I doubt they would place it there though, because the length of a game is pretty important. It even counts usually as part of a review score.

For the most part, I tend to agree that Mutant Mudds is the best 3rd party effort on the system. It has the engaging level design, charming simple art style, easy to use controls, rewarding throughout (diamonds to Max's upgrades to Max's 100% to Grannie unlock to Grannie levels to secret ending), simple story to associate with (a gamer wanting to be a hero/protect their world) and a pretty nice chip tune soundtrack. There's been other 3rd party games I've enjoyed like Super Street Fighter IV, Dead or Alive Dimensions and Code of Princess; however, Mutant Mudds is the stand out and brought me in easily.

@Prof_Clayton
Mutant Mudds is much longer than 30 minutes, especially on first completion. I've yet to play Gunman Clive, probably should, but 30 minutes worth to just complete the game does sound like a situation of being too short.
