I am trying g to think of any PlayStation games were particularly depressing... Perhaps Final Fantasy 7, which is a loss for Nintendo that could be the catalyst for such a comment. It is a fairly sombre, downbeat but utterly engrossing RPG. Aside from that... Silent Hill or Resident Evil? Many other games were vibrant and exciting like Metal Gear, Spyro, Driver, Crash, Tekken 3 etc. Still I was N64 through and through. Mario 64 still kicks six shades out of any PS1 title.

Crash, Spyro, Lara Croft, Nathan Drake, Joel & Ellie, PaRappa the Rapper - ALL CONFIRMED

This is probably the undisputed Nintendo game of the decade - yes it's not an exciting choice but it is phenomenally polished and fun and it brings ppl together. Agree with earlier comment on the Last of Us - that game is just a life changing experience start to finish.

Nintentroll - how dare they taunt and tease us like this

Remember playing Myst on a Mac in the 90s and would always get stuck. I think there was a secret elevator near the start, you could go up several floors and a guy would be up there asking what you were doing there? Is that right or am I just misremembering it...

This list is utterly crooked and makes no sense what-so-ever. X & Y are better than Sun & Moon. You can't have Diamond and Pearl that low and Platinum that high in the same list. Sword and Shield were reviewed a 8 so cannot be that high, let alone above Red & Blue. What a mess.

Mega Drive Aladdin was my first ever video game... so tempted by nostalgia to get this. Maybe when there is a sale.

Some incredible entries. The winner is a good choice from a conceptual point of view - art is subjective after all; but boy that must have been tough to sift through and make a decision!

Loving the puyo puyo game, even without a translation

Utter disgrace this scored the same as Grandia 1 & 2 !!

Aladdin on Mega Drive was my first ever video game. I was 6 years old

5/10 is an unreasonable score - Grandia 2 is one of the greatest RPGs of all time. I bought this day 1 and am having a great time.The combat, story and characters are 9/10; It should be docked to a 7/10 at the very lowest given the sheer quality of the game(s).

NintendoLife and their advertorials

Grandia 2 = Best RPG of all time IMO

I just uploaded my 2nd ever course if anyone would like to try it:

Hang Fire: KF2-GJL-NMG

DUH NUH NUH NUH !

Sucks that Rare's greatest characters are no longer put to use, or at least not in the way we all envisage. Maybe Microsoft could loan the IP out to Playtonic?

Maybe they can name them: Switch Plus and Switch Minus - to indicate one with extra and one with less features.

If you already have a switch and are saying you won't buy a mini if it doesn't dock, that's a meaningless comment. Because it is squarely aimed at ppl who don't already have a switch.

The Wii U is not top 10 material, it's a very poor piece of hardware. Even just setting it up was a chore with too many wires and its best game was Mario Maker which was ported to 3DS.....

At the very least an option should be available to cancel the pre-order and get eshop credit instead

Basically Peach but 3.9 times hotter

How can they celebrate 20 years when they've spent the last 5 years doing nothing?

Rupees higher value than the pound? Thanks Brexit.

Do you think if Nintendo released waluigi as DLC for $20 people would buy it?

Where's Team Waluigi?

Sounds like it's worth buying when it gets a discount

Been playing tonnes of Tropical Freeze - nearly finished it on original mode on second playthrough. Enjoying it more now that I've gotten better at the game - having 2 hearts isn't such a big deal

Sounds made up - combine two undernourished franchises fans are gagging for...

But I really hope retro are working on a straight-up F-zero game

4 years and all they come out with is a port

They should just publish their 3DS release schedule running till 2030

Hopefully like Spyro, Nintendo is saving Shenmue announcement for a Direct... there is no logical reason to leave Switch out on a pair of old very runnable games

It has a review of 4.1 from gamespot and it looks terrible... "move over mario" has to be the most arrogant strapline of all time.

Involves Cats 🐱. Day One.

Can't think a better platform to enjoy some crash bandicoot on. Hope it happens.

I don't get the undiluted praise for Odyssey.

The level design is lackluster - there just isn't much craft or design to the levels. The Sand Kingdom in particular - all that open space and very letter clever nuance or structure.

I get that it's sandbox but for me once I got to 500 moons, I was done with it.

Mario 64 on the other hand, you wanted to get all 120 stars and some of the worlds were terrifically designed. There were still some dud levels and dud stars but overall I feel it's just a better designed experience.

With the possible exception of Donk City, I can't name a world in Odyssey that left a mark on me, that was special. Strangely, my most memorable aspect of the game was capturing and playing as the caterpillar in Lost Kingdom. Well that and the 2D Donkey Kong sequence in Donk City, that was pretty fabulous.

I wonder if this concerns Sony and Microsoft or do they still see Nintendo as occupying a neighboring but not overly overlapping market?

I would have preferred 4 traditional dungeons with varied themes over the Divine Beasts. I think that was really lacking. Everything else, shrines included - fine. But there is no way those beasts come anywhere close to some of the rich and varied dungeons in Zelda's history.

I disagree with the review. Massive fan of Banjo back in the day and it still holds up. The worlds in this are meandering and aimless - remember the zippy joy of running through the first world of Banjo Kazooie and getting all the jiggies? It was easy but also unbridled fun.

In Yooka Laylee, the Pagie challenges don't have much sense of flow - you wander around until you find a pagie in a cage and then complete a task that isn't always fun or natural.

Jiggies were never in cages - Banjo Kazooie had a more cohesive, buzzing confidence about it.

That's my impression so far - I think it's a 6 or 7 /10 at best.

How long is the show set to be?

1 in a bajillion chance of winning

@Anti-Matter My money is on "Switch Plus"

A valid question but the granddaddy of them all, Super Mario 64, is simply unsurpassible

It's a fun game but far too easy - like "climb a tree — get a moon!"; "do a backflip - oh look another moon!"

You just trip over moons and it makes it far too passive an experience where you just ride along and don't think too much.

A fun ride but just not a patch on 64. I do love the homages though.

These characters are kinda lame compared to Banjo Kazooie so not sure why anyone would want this

Golf story is beautiful

Move over steamworld! Eshop game of the year is in town

Got this in the post on Friday and it's fab - once you get into it, boy do you get into it!

Beautiful game. 10/10. Better than Mario.

Midnight is too far away
