Two Nintendo games creeping into the "Worst of 2025".

Well done Nintendo. Well done.

I can only see one Nintendo published game there, not two.

I'm surprised that Call of Duty Black Ops 7 isn't on there considering the reception it got.

Also, I'll probably pick up Neptunia Riders VS Dogoos eventually, once I finish up the older games (in other words, several years from now, since I've got many left).

Bubsy still being nominated for the 'worst game of the year'in 2025 is amusing. The new game Bubsy 4D could be decent though.

For whatever it's worth, metacritic has an official 'worst of 2025' list which doesn't quite line up with the bottom of naively sorting the normal list because of multi-platform releases.

Welcome Tour and drag x drive were not low enough to make the bottom 10, but the mobile fire emblem game was so Nintendo still made the list.

MindsEye - PS5 (28/100)
Fire Emblem Shadows - Mobile (37/100)
Blood of Mehran - PS5 (38/100)
Spy Drops - PC (39/100)
Gore Doctor - PS5 (40/100)
Tamagotchi Plaza - Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Switch 2 (43/100)
Ambulance Life: A Paramedic Simulator - PS5 (44/100)
QUByte Classics: Glover - PS5 (44/100)
Scar-Lead Salvation - PS5 (44/100)
Fast & Furious: Arcade Edition - PS5 (45/100)

welcome tour was 54/100 so actually quite a bit above these 10.

It has to be said that, once you go below fifty, review scores tend to get very arbitrary. Not having played any of this year's contenders, I won't comment further than that.

Also, the "worst" game is invariably just the one you got most hyped up for that didn't quite deliver.
