Starting point is 00:00:00 Recruitment for Arknight's Enfield Beta Test 2 has officially begun. Head to Enfield.grifeline.com and complete the recruitment survey for a chance to join Beta Test 2 when it starts on November 28th. Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Gamescast for Friday, November 21st, 2025, a jam-packed two-hour games cast coming at you. I'm one of your host's blessing. Adioia Jr. joining me is Little Croix Puppie. Tim, Ma, one, Gettys. I had to dress up for this event.
Starting point is 00:00:37 You got to. I had to. That's not true. Les and I and Joey dressed up for our wicked review, Wicked for Good Review. You can check out now on YouTube.com slash kind of funny games. What a good time. What a good time talking about that movie.
Starting point is 00:00:50 This is about to be a great time. Oh, this about to be a fantastic time. I've been looking forward to this for weeks at this point. Yeah. IGN's top 100 Nintendo games of all time. We've done many shitless together, Bless, but this feels like maybe the biggest one of them all. I love this too because the IGN folks,
Starting point is 00:01:07 who work on this list, on these lists, plural, it's gone to the point now where they'll hit me up individually. They'll be like, hey, a list is going to hit. A list is coming. List is coming. Just so you know, there's a list coming up next week that you're going to want to make content for. And so, like, everybody's in on it.
Starting point is 00:01:23 This I'm excited for because me and you, we're the Nintendo brothers. Oh, yeah. The Mario brothers. Some people might call us. The Smash brothers. And we love talking about lists. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:34 And so this is a perfect one for us. Perfect. How are you feeling about this? I'm feeling really good. And again, I think that a big part of that, you're talking about it, we know these IGN people. We know them well. Yes. And I know how these lists are made there.
Starting point is 00:01:47 And I know the scrutiny and the work and the effort put into making a good list and making a list that matters that can carry the IGN name for whatever that means. Like more is put on that than just, hey, we're just shitting something out. We're just putting a list out there, right? Does that mean they're going to get it right? No, not necessarily. We always say going into a shit list. Like we're looking for, are they trying to say something? Do we like what they're trying to say?
Starting point is 00:02:14 Are they trying to be too cute? Are they just playing the hits? What's this list going to look like? I don't know. I really truly don't know. Well, I'm excited to see because remember this is kind of funny games cast. Each and every week they get together and talk about the biggest reviews, previews, and topics in video games live on YouTube, Twitch and on podcast services around

Starting point is 00:03:02 If you're a kind of funny member, you can get today's Gregway coming at you from Mike. Thank you to our Patreon producers. Carl Jacobs, Omega Buster, and Delaney the Somme twining. For now, let's start with topic of the show. Tots, dots, dots, dots, dots, tots, dots, tots, today we're doing a jam-packed shit list. We put KFD to the side today. We're like, we ain't got time.
Starting point is 00:03:24 We got a thing to talk about. We got to talk about these top 100. We don't care what you're up to, UBes. I do think it's funny that, like, there was the looming threat of Half-Life 3, and oh, man, is the Ubisoft news going to drop? and are we going to have to change our entire plans? And it turns out, no.
Starting point is 00:03:39 No. No, Half-Life 3. U.S.O.S. is actually thriving guys. Assassin's Creed overperformed. And so, hey, we're here. We got a shitless for you. We'll talk about that on Monday. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:50 There's a lot to talk about with that because I'm a, me and you were going back and forth of like, did Assassin's Creed do good? And you were absolutely right. It's overperforming. It's overperforming. They're not saying numbers, though, which I do think is a little weird. But, you know. Well, apparently they delayed it because there was a breach.
Starting point is 00:04:04 We'll talk about it. There was a contract. There was a breach that happened, guys. Today, we're doing a shit list. That's where I go online. I find a top 10 list, or in this case, a top 100 list. I'm bringing back to Tim and Baird on the ones and twos. We judge it for your amusement.
Starting point is 00:04:20 Today's list is the 100 best Nintendo games of all time by the IGN staff. Tim, I want to start off by talking about two things. I want to talk about what we do. think's going to be the top 10. Okay. And then I want to talk about a few of what we think are going to be unexpected entries. Oh, okay. Let's like that.
Starting point is 00:04:43 Yeah. Let's start a top 10. Normally we try to guess the whole list. Obviously, we're not doing that for the whole top 100. I want to make these guesses without even looking at the like opening paragraph of like what the qualifiers for this list. Okay. I just want to go off the headline top 100 best Nintendo games. So making the top 10.
Starting point is 00:05:01 Bless. Let's clear our minds. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. sorry, I did look at the subtitle of this where they say IGN and Nintendo Life have teamed up for the ultimate ranking of Nintendo console favorites. Oh shit.
Starting point is 00:05:16 I didn't know that part. That is a game changer. That is a huge game changer. I will say, I love Nintendo Life. Nintendo Life is great. I am a very, very big fan of theirs. I listen to their podcast all the time
Starting point is 00:05:29 and I really like their takes on Nintendo games. There are some sickos. There are a lot of some sickos. They get in there. They know they know ball when it comes to Nintendo game. So, okay, this gets a little spicier. Yeah, okay. Dang, I like that.
Starting point is 00:05:45 That's fun. I like that they're doing that. Yeah. They don't usually do that, right? Well, it didn't, if Davis buy everybody. You know what? I think that's just part of it. When you frame it like that.
Starting point is 00:05:57 Okay. Yeah. Okay. Let's come up with the top 10. Let's write them down and try to lock it in. Okay. Okay. As we do this, clear your mind. Here's my challenge for me and you.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Yeah. Let's not get cute. We're talking top 10 here. Yep. What are the fucking best Nintendo? Mario World. Mario 3. Both?
Starting point is 00:06:16 I'm just saying. Oh, we're just saying. Let's write down the games that we're like, definitively, we are talking about top 10. Not top 100, not top 20, top 10. Tears of the Kingdom. Grath of the Wild. Just write both down. But I was going to add Ocarina.
Starting point is 00:06:31 Ocarina. Yep. Metro Prime. To the past. Linked to the past. Metroid. Super Metroid. Oh, Super Metroid.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Smash Ultimate. Mario Card 8 Deluxe. Yeah. Okay. Pokemon Heart Gold slash Soul Silver. Okay. I like these picks. Mario Odyssey.
Starting point is 00:06:57 Mario Galaxy 2. Donkey Kong. 64. See, I'm surprised nobody that said Mario 64. Mars 64 I don't think that one's going to make the cut at the end of the day But you're right so I do think that like
Starting point is 00:07:12 It might For the record we've written down 14 video games God damn it Okay yeah but like And they've all been within like three franchises Yeah Are we missing any just slam dunks Because like this is we're talking about it
Starting point is 00:07:22 This is top 10 dude Like I don't see an animal crossing making here Yeah you start looking at the wall Yeah You don't hold on no Animal Crossing New Horizons You think so
Starting point is 00:07:33 I think has a chance Yeah I see that best Yeah, best. Yeah. I don't know about top 10, but write it down if you all leave, I don't believe. I, again, I don't want to, I know you said don't get cute, but like, they're going to have more franchises than like the four we listed in that top 10, I think. Because right now we have Mario, Zelda, uh, Metroid and Pokemon. Well, we'll prune.
Starting point is 00:07:55 I just think that. I'm just right now, we're just saying what even could be there. Okay. Because like, I just want it clear. We're talking about an upper tier elite level that like 10 is not that big of a number. Like we're going to quickly dwindle. We must be missing some of the crazy banger, heavy hitters. Think about consoles starting at NES.
Starting point is 00:08:13 I mean, the one from the NES, I would say, would be used from Mario Brothers 3. Yeah. Is there anything else that were like top 10 of all time from the NES? I mean, there's the Zelda's, but I wouldn't say top 10 necessarily. There's, I mean, not Metroid. No.
Starting point is 00:08:27 Kid Icarus guys. All right, then jumping to S&S. We got linked to the past. We got Mario World. Chrono trigger, follow fantasy six. I just don't know if they're counting those as Nintendo games or not. But those I, that's there.
Starting point is 00:08:39 Oh, Resident Evil 4. Resident Evil 4, yeah. Again, weird one. We're getting, it's not weird if they're counting. Third party. If this isn't Nintendo published. Do you guys want to know that answer now? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:55 So there are non-Nintendo games. Okay, so Resident Evil 4. Yeah, I did a peek at number 100 and I was like, oh, okay, so this is what this list is. This is tough then. I don't know that it's that tough. I don't think it adds that many. When we're talking about this elite tier, R-E-4, Krono-trigger, Fawn Fantasy 6,
Starting point is 00:09:11 I don't think that there's any other games that are that level. Am I missing, right? Like, I mean, well, okay, N64. Yeah. Bainjo's not top 10 of all. Oh, okay. I love me some Bajo. It's not top 10.
Starting point is 00:09:25 That's top 100, for sure. That might be even top 25, potentially. Potentially. Potentially. Not top 10. There's no Spatoon, no Pikmin. For top 10? No Donkey Kong.
Starting point is 00:09:37 We're top 10. I mean, Donkey Kong Country 2 and Tropical Freeze. Both should be very high. They could be, yes, top 25. Yeah. Hey,
Starting point is 00:09:45 this is what I'll say. On our DK. Bonanza conversations, we had Logan Plant here. And he talked about that being that's his number one. This number one
Starting point is 00:09:54 3D platformer from Nintendo. I don't think it won't be top 10, though. No. It won't be high. Yeah. I'm writing it down. That'd be crazy. I think it's,
Starting point is 00:10:03 think it might be in there. I don't even, I'm not even sure if that's top 10 best games this year. Okay, okay. Okay. Okay. We're all right. We're allowed to hate. Hey, hey, hey. Okay. I don't think it makes top 10. Even with Logan's love, I don't think it's top 10. I can see it being high on the list. But again, top 10, we're talking about fucking elite, baby. Yeah. And I think you think Bananza is a Yeah. Yeah. I know, but like there's levels to elite. There's a lot of, we're talking about best of all time, that changes the conversation. When we were before we started this, I was looking at chat and somebody in chat was like, As Nintendo, you made 100 good video games. And to you, sir, I say you're in the wrong fucking video. Go somewhere else. Also, we don't have chat up, by the way, because we don't want to be spoiled.
Starting point is 00:10:42 No, I do have super chats up, though, so super chat in if you want to talk about stuff. Levergian's Mansion doesn't make one. So, yeah, Tetris. Melee. Yeah. Tetris. Tetris. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Oh, is a Nintendo game? Game Boy, yeah. Game Boy, that's like pivotal. That's like a part of history right there, baby. Okay. You're not wrong. Yeah, for people watching live. The boys don't have chat up, but I have y'all up over here just because they don't want to be spoiled on the list.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I'm going to write melee. Mealy's not top ten. It's ultimate. I mean, melee, melee's on the list. It has to be for top hundred. But, like, it's,
Starting point is 00:11:20 melee's not top ten. What about Wind Waker? Not top ten. Okay. All right. Let's lock in this top ten, because I think that we have. We have 21 games extended here. Are we missing anything from Wii WiiU era?
Starting point is 00:11:36 We sports Oh, Galaxy We put Galaxy 2. Yeah, we put Galaxy 2. Yeah, we got Galaxy written. And then Wii U ain't shit on the Wii U. I mean, there's a lot of them. There's some good stuff on the Wii U.
Starting point is 00:11:48 A lot of good stuff. But like, are there all timers on the Wii U? I mean, Mario Cardi deluxe And yeah, but yeah, no, exactly. Yeah, I don't think that any. Not the one with the Mercedes in it or whatever. Pure game is, uh, wait, did they have the Mercedes and Deluxe?
Starting point is 00:12:02 Simon Carney just DMs me. Don't blame me for everything about to happen in the street. Oh, no, we need to lock the fuck in. Okay, we can start unless there's anything from Switch 2, or sorry, Switch era or Switch 2 era. I mean, Smash Olds Mid, Mark Curry Deluxe. Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Here's the Kingdom. Okay, all right.
Starting point is 00:12:19 So let's pair down to 10 then. All right, I think that we need to start with the most obvious thing, which is the franchise representation. There's Mario and there's Zelda. There's only 10 spots. How many of them are going to be Mario's and Zelda's? and I think the answer is more than one. When we're doing the top 100 Nintendo games,
Starting point is 00:12:37 I think that they're going to commit hard. So I'm going to say the names of these games, and I think we say bold or don't bold. Bowling it for what you think top 10. Mario World, bold. That's for sure top 10. Mario 3. It's going to be one of the other.
Starting point is 00:12:54 No. For top 10, I think it's one of the other. I think they bold that. Because those two go, back and forth between number one on top 100 games of all time for IGN and both of them are consistently in that time. I'm gonna italicize.
Starting point is 00:13:09 I'm gonna italicize. I didn't know we were italicize. Atalcise for like, you know, let's come back to it. Tears of the Kingdom. It's gonna be either that or Rest of the Wild. I'm just, I say bold tears of the kingdom.
Starting point is 00:13:22 Yeah. I think they're gonna go with that as like the, I get the vibe that they're on our side, that tears over breath. I mean, I'm, your breath over tears. Yeah. But it's like,
Starting point is 00:13:31 I think they're on your side, plus. What's up? I think they're on your side. I think they go Breath of the Wild. I'm going to italicize Breath of Wild. Because I think they go tears. Ocarina, bold. That has to be a bold.
Starting point is 00:13:44 You've got to bold that. You've got to bold that. I think you got to bold. You can't put a top 100 Nintendo list without Akarina on it. They're not, you don't. It's on the list. It's illegal. No, it's a top 10.
Starting point is 00:13:56 It's not on the list. It's top 10 on the list. But like how many Zelda's can be in the top 10? More than one. Oh, man. Yeah. I think three can be on the list. If three can be in the top ten, then I could say bold.
Starting point is 00:14:09 I think three can be on the top ten. I think a link to the past is more likely. Okay, link to the past. Bold. Bold. Yeah. See, I was going to say italicize. No.
Starting point is 00:14:17 No. I think link to the past is more likely than Ocarina. So we have one, two, three. We have four games bolded for the record. Oh my God. Metroid. Either that or super Metroid. I don't think both make it.
Starting point is 00:14:31 One of them is going to be on the list. Into the top 10, to be clear. They both make the list. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Shit. I think they give it to Super. That hurts. I think they go prime.
Starting point is 00:14:46 I feel like we have a newer generation of kids who are, you know, more into giving respect to Prime than Super. I think they also go Super Metroid for the influential aspect of it. The fact that we have a genre called Metroidvania, and that stems back to what Super Metroid brought. to the table. I think that makes more of a case than Prime, even though I would vote Prime.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I'm going to italicize Prime as a, let's come back to it. When we were coming back to it. Smash Ultimate. Oh yeah, that's a slam dunk. See, I think it's either that or melee. It's not melee. I don't know if either of them makes it. I love that you get the love for melee.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Melee is, it's the test of time and the way, it's ultimate. Ultimate is the game that people are going to put on a top 10. I think Ultimate is the highest, and it comes in at number 11. Really? Yeah. I could see a smash game not making top 10.
Starting point is 00:15:40 That would fucking break my heart. That wouldn't happen. It's the most Nintendo thing of all time. Number 11, it just feels like such a fucking insult. Under my reign, I wouldn't let that happen. I can see it happen. When we're talking about top 10 Nintendo games, I feel like there are the ones that are like,
Starting point is 00:15:55 oh, this is a for sure, like, fucking, we lock this. I don't know if any of the smashes are like that immediately. Oh man Like I feel like both the smashes are an italicize That's crazy Of like pos potential Yeah that's that's nuts Um
Starting point is 00:16:11 I've italicized everything that I've not bolded by the way so far Yeah Mario Cardi 8 deluxe Yes slam dunk Slam dunk That's a bold I think it has to be It has to be
Starting point is 00:16:21 Pokemon heart gold slash soul silver No I don't think it makes it I don't think it makes top 10 You don't think a Pokemon makes top 10 I mean, I think just being fucking real, comparing these franchise mega heavy hitters, I think Mario and Zelda are in a different league than Pokemon. We're talking about best.
Starting point is 00:16:41 Here's what I'll say is that I think Pokemon Blue slash Red can make it. I think those get the influential points so strongly. IGN won't put those games above Hard Gold and Soul Silver. I can't see. They won't do it. I think it's harder for me to see Hart Golden Soul Silver in top 10 Nintendo games, but it's way easier for me to see Pokemon Blue and Red in top 10. 10 Nintendo games.
Starting point is 00:17:02 Yeah, but I think that I don't think that's the list they're making. Maybe I'm making the wrong bet, but like I don't think they're making the most influential list. And I think we're going to talk about the quality of games, the Super Metroid, it has the quality to back it up. Yeah. Obviously, I'm not talking shit about the quality of gold and silver. I fucking love it. But they're not perfect video games. Just a peek ahead here in like their kind of intro.
Starting point is 00:17:25 They say these aren't necessarily the best games to play right now, but are ranking based on a combination of historic innovation. modern ingenuity and the legacy each has left behind the combination of those things. Then I'm saying, I'm going to say it, Pokemon Blue. I think you're going to see Pokemon Blue slash Red. I'm with Tim. Yeah, like that description, Targling Sol Silver. See that description? I hear Pokemon Blue in my brain.
Starting point is 00:17:47 You just listen to part of it then. Pokemon Blue is a broken game. Gen 1 is broken. Gen 1 changed the world. It changed the world. Part of that, part of what they said was influence. Parts. Pokemon. The Soul's Over influence.
Starting point is 00:17:59 Like Pokemon might have changed the world more so than any other entertainment IP in existence. Yeah, and the best version of that. IGN's going to want to prove the point that Hargold and Soul Silver are the best Pokemon games. But do we think Hard Golden Soul Silver is going to be top 10? I don't know. I think it's going to be top 20.
Starting point is 00:18:17 It's because we're talking about. There's too many Zelda. What are we talking about right now? All right, I'm skipping Pokemon then. We're not building Pokemon. Mario Odyssey. Yeah, there's no way they don't put it in there. Really?
Starting point is 00:18:29 See, IGN, I think it's Odyssey. I see it more likely than 64. It's tough. Well, I almost go Galaxy 2. They'll give it to Odyssey. Everyone has an Odyssey boner. I mean,
Starting point is 00:18:42 as they should. I mean, I put Odyssey over Galaxy. You know what I mean? But I... In my old age, I think everybody has a Galaxy bollors. Odyssey is my least favorite of the...
Starting point is 00:18:52 Get the fuck out of the... Of the big dogs. Okay, so everything, but that's not sunshine. Yeah, I'm talking about... Say what you're saying. What I'm saying is
Starting point is 00:19:01 At this point Mario 64, Galaxy 1, 2, and Bonanza I put all put above Odyssey I fucking love Odyssey But I put Odyssey above Audice Is crazy
Starting point is 00:19:14 Yeah Well I might They're close to me Banas and Odyssey are close to me Bonanza's last hour is great I like that I like all the other stuff going on in Bonanza
Starting point is 00:19:24 First of all you love Donkey Kong All right Don't turn into a hater Because they fucking made you break things in this one, and they didn't put Lenke in it. And it's such a forgettable middle third of that game. Just because they didn't put... Odyssey, just like feels incomplete.
Starting point is 00:19:36 Oh, hey, here's a freaking dragon for one second. Hey, and you know what? That dragon ate up every second it got that one. So, okay. Mario Odyssey, you two are saying bold Odyssey. Yeah. Okay, I'll bold it. For IGN's list, I definitely think it's Odyssey.
Starting point is 00:19:53 I don't know if I'm seeing Odyssey. I hope I do, but I don't know if I'll see it. Mario Galaxy 2. No, I think it's just Odyssey. Mario 64. No. Animal Crossing New Horizons. I would say bold.
Starting point is 00:20:04 I just don't see it. I don't know why, but I don't see it. Really? I think a bold. I feel like it's going to be a similar to smash where it's going to knock on the door, but it's not going to be quite top ten. Resonient Evil 4. No.
Starting point is 00:20:16 I mean, if they're including it, I think yes. If that's eligible, people got a Reson Eagle 4, Boner. We do. Yeah, but it's also like. I know. I get including third party stuff on here a little bit. But I think for Nintendo, you have a list of 100 games and you're going to put one of the slots for top 10 as a non-Nintendo game. Then just don't have non-Nintendo games on the list.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Because if you're going to include them, include them. Resident Evil 4 is top 10. I mean, it is, but it's also not. Top 10, I think, means something different than the rest of the top 100. Like, top Nintendo, I'm with Barrett. It does get a little bit like hinky because if we're talking about the third party ones, the Tetris,
Starting point is 00:21:07 the Chrono Trigger FF6 and Resident Evil 4, if any of those make the top 10, which is it going to be? It's Tetris. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I'm going to italicize RE4 because I still believe in it.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Chrono Trigger. I stand by what I just said, I think. No. I think that because there's only 10 slots, I think it'll be Tetris. Final Fantasy 6. We're saying no.
Starting point is 00:21:32 then. D.K. Bonanza. I don't think so. It's between that and some of these other 3D Mario games. I'm gonna say no. Tetris. I think so. Yeah. All right. Bolded. And then smash melee. It sounds like no, because we bolded.
Starting point is 00:21:51 Smash melee, not a chance. Oh, I guess we did. I, I'd be pissed if melee's not on this list at all. I can see melee not on this list at all. Okay, well, now you're nuts. There's no way melee is not on the... If there's two smashes on this list, it'll be Ultimate and Melee. The last many is I don't know that there are. There has to be.
Starting point is 00:22:07 I agree. Yeah. But it's 100 games. It's so many. Yeah, that's true. Yeah. We'll see. We're also giving time to third parties.
Starting point is 00:22:15 If you asked, I don't know. If you asked me to name 100 Nintendo games, I would accidentally say melee in the first 20, you know? Like, melee is something you stumble upon. You're telling me the top 100 games are going to have melee on it. All right. So we have Mario World, Tears of the Kingdom, Ocarina, linked to the past, Super Metroid,
Starting point is 00:22:34 Mario Card 8 Deluxe, Mario Odyssey, Tetris. That's eight games bolded. We can bold two more for top 10. We haven't bolded. I would have italicized here. Mario 3, Breath of the Wild, Metroid Prime, Smash Ultimate, Pokemon, Reson Evil 4.
Starting point is 00:22:50 Those are my italics. All right, I mean, let's go one by one. Mario 3 and World in the top 10. I see it. That's my top of people. I see it. But I think, I just don't know. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.
Starting point is 00:23:03 That I see less. I don't see that. I don't either. I think there's enough differences between Mario 3 and World. I don't think there's enough differences. Can we just have the briefest conversation because I know we're already running longer
Starting point is 00:23:15 than I think we expected to on this segment? We need to stop saying the Breath of Wild and Tears the Kingdom are the same game. Because they're not. Well, they're not the same game. They're in the same high rule and that is like... But they have the same physics system, have the same gameplay loop.
Starting point is 00:23:31 But like still, even if it's literally, just so much of it is the exact same design. What they're having you do is different. The challenges are different. Yeah, but like, I think it's what they do versus what Mario 3 and Mario World do. Like, I think it's just easier to see with Mario 3. I think that there, it's like the gameplay, I think, is actually more similar between Mario 3 and Mario World than the gameplay and challenges of Breath of Wild and World. The visuals and look and all that are more radically different between Mario 3 and World than
Starting point is 00:24:03 they are at Breath of the Wild and Tears the Kingdom. But semantics here. Do I think both are going to end up in the top 10? I don't. But for either of those. So let's hop to Metroid Prime. Do you get Metroid Prime and Super Metroid? I would love that.
Starting point is 00:24:19 I would love that as well. Bold it. Well, here's the thing. Here's the thing. Before we bold, because I want to look at two other options. Because I actually didn't bowl Pokemon, hard gold, and soul silver. I should have italicized it because I think that's in the conversation.
Starting point is 00:24:31 I think honestly, now we're talking about Smash Ultimate and Pokemon Hardgold. I think those are the two bolts. Oh, man. Yeah, I'm with you. Fuck it. Over Metroid Prime. That would bring us to 10.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Franchise representation and like genres and all that stuff. I like that. So right now, and I think we're locking this in, our predicted top 10, not in any order, is Mario World, here's the kingdom, Ocarina,
Starting point is 00:24:53 linked to the past, Super Metroid, Smash Ultimate, Mario Card 8 Deluxe, Pokemon Heart Gold slash Soul Silver, Mario Odyssey, and Tetris. I feel good about it.
Starting point is 00:25:02 Yeah, I feel good about it. that. I think that we're going to have a high success rate there. All right. Let's get into, give me one unexpected entry so we don't linger on this for too long. Give me one of your unexpected entries here. Elite beat agents on the Nintendo DS. Oh, that's such a good one. Donkey Kong 64. You know what? I'm with you, Barrett. I think it'll be very low. I think in the 100 to 90 range, it has a chance. Yes, very low. I, I watched a Seth Macy video where he was talking about the analog 3D. And he made a DK-S64 reference
Starting point is 00:25:33 where he's like, it's not as bad as people say. And I'm like, that gives me hope. And if it's not on the list, that's why they included third parties to have an excuse to not put it on the list. An agenda. Codwards. He's right.
Starting point is 00:25:46 Nintendo dogs. That's my unexpected. I like that. I like that. All right. We're going to get into it. If you're watching live, super chat in with what some of your picks
Starting point is 00:25:55 would be for the top 100 Nintendo games that we might not expect. We're going to get into it. an ad and then we're going to get into the list. Use some ads.

Starting point is 00:29:31 We got in quite a few super chats in here. I want to read real quick because I like some of what people are saying. Calvin Perez writes in and says, how many of the 100 games do you think you've played? Oh, I love that. Yeah. If we're saying played as in I've picked up and played some of it, I'm going to say, I'm going to high ball this.
Starting point is 00:29:50 I'm going to say 70. Holy crap, that's crazy. Yeah. Well, actually, no, because I didn't, I never owned a 3DS or a DS. I'm going to actually, I'm going to say 60. Yeah. As far as played through, I'm going to say 30. I'm going to say played through 50.
Starting point is 00:30:08 Okay. Played. Okay. Five, maybe. Maybe those numbers are wrong. I don't know. J-Man, 0625 says, how mad would we be if there are third party games? Low key, I'm kind of salty about it.
Starting point is 00:30:25 I'm not going to lie. I know. I think I'm on the wrong side of history because we're talking about this, I think. Oh, we were talking about this yesterday. Yeah. I think that might be the expectation just based off of how other games have influenced Nintendo consoles. But I think I just want a list that is all Nintendoash. I would be very interested in a Nintendo published pop list as a separate exercise.
Starting point is 00:30:46 But I do think that when we're talking about all these games, it's like, Chrono triggers a Nintendo game. It's a super Nintendo game. And like, it's weird when we make the arguments for like, it's like porn. You know what when you see it? Let's see here. Flip the USB twice says Mario 64 DS should be in top 10. So Mike says Wii Sports. I think Wii Sports is going to be higher than we expect. That's what I'll say.
Starting point is 00:31:15 We Sports, if we're just being honest, it's like, that's a top 50 answer. Yes. It's cute if it's top 30. I won't be, I'll say, I won't be mad if it's top 30. No, it deserves it. It deserves it for influence and for all that stuff. But when we're talking, we're talking about some of the goddamn best quality video games of all time
Starting point is 00:31:33 that's simply not Wii sports. And I'm not hating on Wii sports. We Sports is a great game. But like, it's not a 10. It changed the game, though. But is it a 10? Maybe.
Starting point is 00:31:45 You know what? For best, best changes things. It does. Best does change things. So it's not a 10, but honestly, I think it's like a 9.
Starting point is 00:31:54 Maybe even a 9.5. I think Wii Sports is a fucking polished ass, good ass game for what it did at the time maybe nowadays maybe not as impressive but in 2007 whatever that was that was every mode equally good
Starting point is 00:32:07 listen I played so much boxing which mode wait which mode are you saying isn't as good I fucking love boxing I feel that all blend to me Sasquatch only says there's got to be some high spot for earthbound yeah I was going to mention earthbound
Starting point is 00:32:19 but I just don't think it's top 10 but I think earth yeah I agree with that top 25 um Mike is Mike Mike says Mario golf Marco Marco Lopez music says I'm so frustrated you haven't said Earthbound at all
Starting point is 00:32:36 But that might be some of a personal favorite I just view it as elite Hey I'm with you I fucking love Earthdown is amazing But being real It's not a top 10 Best of all time Nintendo game from IGN's perspective I agree I think it's impossible Earthbound makes the top 10
Starting point is 00:32:52 I think it's very possible that it's top 30 I think it's even likely it's top 20 Yeah. Jayman says Cowards Don't put Mother 3 or Earthbound Top 25
Starting point is 00:33:01 I'm sorry I would love if Mother 3 is like high on the list That'd be pretty sick Nintendo Life They love Mother 3 Resolute Ooh
Starting point is 00:33:11 Does Nintendo Life also love Major's Mask I'm thinking of the gamer You're thinking of the gamer? The gamer put that like number one On their Nintendo list And I think
Starting point is 00:33:21 Earthbound was like number Number 2 on their list Resolute says I join late Don't know if it's First Party Only if not Tetris Top 5 we talked about that
Starting point is 00:33:28 Gadnook says which console do we think has the most titles That's actually a great question too I mean I'll say switch It's probably switch Yeah yeah switch
Starting point is 00:33:39 And then Super Nintendo And then WiiU Kabob says Fire Red slash Leaf Green Over Red slash Blue Better versions Yeah but Look you're gonna hear the words I say
Starting point is 00:33:50 It's either gonna make sense to you Or it's not It's Pokemon red and blue And it's heart gold And soul silver I don't make the rules I guess I do here but that's just the way it is
Starting point is 00:33:59 they're not putting fire red and leaf green they're not putting gold and silver they're putting hard gold and silver and they're putting red and blue you gotta make maybe yellow I think it's the to your point it's the historic pick and the best pick
Starting point is 00:34:11 the quality pick you know um wrapped the face says Zelda got out of the way but no love for Star Fox you'll see it there just not top 10 but you'll see Star Fox I love Star Fox only 64 you won't see any of it
Starting point is 00:34:24 When we were playing Kirby Air Riders yesterday on the stream, Mike mentioned, like, they don't want to have Sakurai make a Star Fox, and I thought about it. The dream. And I was like, oh, that would actually be perfect, wouldn't it? Oh, yeah. That's crazy.
Starting point is 00:34:35 I mean, you still have been played Kid Akris Uprising. No. Like, a third of that game is a very good Star Fox. Nice. Fawn here, right, Zinnah says, I predict a major exclusion will be a Mario 3D world. It'll be somewhere on the list, but I agree that it probably won't be as high
Starting point is 00:34:52 as I think it should be. It's hard to forget things on a top 100 list. Stake Sticks animation says Banjo is number one in my heart, but it should be top 20. Banjo is going to be top. Oh, no. 40. They're not seeing it, but video wall is not happy with us. Oh, it's good.
Starting point is 00:35:08 We're fine. And then one more from Sean Murray. He says, true Nintendo fans know Zeno Blade 1 or 3 should be top 10. You know what? That's a good call. That is a good call. That's a good call. I don't think so, though.
Starting point is 00:35:19 You'll have a Zeno Blade very high. Very high. Not top 10, though. What about a Fire Emble? Not top 10. Three houses will be high, though. Top 20. All right, let's waste no more time.
Starting point is 00:35:30 The 100 best Nintendo games of all time, as decided by IGN, teaming up with Nintendo Life as a nice little surprise. What a fun's worth. That actually makes this even more exciting. So I want to read the first paragraph of this blurb. Video games are synonymous with the name Nintendo, but which of the hundreds of incredible games that have graced the legendary Japanese companies numerous homes
Starting point is 00:35:53 and handheld consoles are the best. While here at IGN, we've teamed up with our friends at Nintendo Life to try and answer that question. What follows is the 100 best Nintendo games of all time based on a combination of each site's expert opinions. What qualifies to make our list? Well, the vast majority you'll see here were either developed and or published by Nintendo itself, but there's also room for others, those games that are synonymous with
Starting point is 00:36:17 Nintendo consoles or at least have a period of timed exclusivity on one of its many home devices and handheld. For example, Resident Evil 4 is making the list. Yeah, oh yeah, exactly. They give examples, but I'm not going to read the examples. For my iconic Nintendo in-house, I'm not going to even beat any of this. Okay, number 100.
Starting point is 00:36:34 I wonder how long it's going to take to something pisses us off. That's another good question. I'm going to sit down one of these days and have a criteria meeting with myself. We've got to start time to get pissed off. Unexpected entries. I love it. I love it. All right, let's get to it.
Starting point is 00:36:51 At number 100, we got eternal darkness. Sanities Requiem. Okay. I know it's early to say this. They're cooking. This has a number of 100. What a great way to kick us off. Where it's like, yo, you heard of it.
Starting point is 00:37:03 You probably didn't play it. The people that did, they know what's up with this game. Colt Classic to the end degree. I love that we're starting with this standard of, all right, we're talking quality here. We have 99 games better than this. Love it. I'm going to lower the amount of games that I think I have played on this list.
Starting point is 00:37:22 I'm going to say, I forget what I said before, I'm going to say 40. I'm going to say I picked up 40 these games and touched them. At number 99, we got GTA-Chinatown Wars. Okay. Okay. This was a big deal. First GTA coming to a Nintendo console. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:40 Or at least, like, a new one. And this was on DS. People really loved it. Greg Miller really loves this game. At number 98, we got Star Fox. Oh, wow. The original Star Fox. Wow, I'm very shocked.
Starting point is 00:37:54 Okay. I wouldn't personally put this on the list, but 100's a lot. So we'll see. Interesting. From the days when the word polygon was exclusively found in math textbooks comes to Nintendo's 3D evolution of a mainstay arcade genre, the schmup. Taxing the SNES hardware so much, even the Super Effects ship included inside the cartridge, couldn't get the action to run even at a targeted 12 frames per second.
Starting point is 00:38:17 Star Fox followed the linear stage setups of R-Type and co, but played from behind the ship and first person perspective. This is one of the games where sometimes there's like remakes and you're like, okay, well, the original like, it's still worth playing and like, or sometimes it's like just play the remake. To me, this is one of those examples. Just play Star Fox 64.
Starting point is 00:38:36 It's just the better version of this game. It's the same way I'd say play Metroid Zero Mission. You don't need to play the original Metroid. Wow. I guess that makes sense. You know, I feel that. I love, obviously, I'm not saying fucking burn every copy that exists. I'm just saying like you had the choice. Yeah. And number 97.
Starting point is 00:38:52 We got Super Castlevania 4. Again, this is the, we're talking about Super Nintendo, one of the greatest consoles with the greatest libraries of all time. And a lot of that was third party support. And Super Castlevania 4 rocks. This is one of those all-time classic Super Nintendo games. Lower than I'd expected, honestly. Really? Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:12 I guess I was going to say Castlevania, Cynthia, but that's not an Nintendo game, so that makes sense. And number 96, we got. Wow, 999. Getting cute here. Nine hours, nine persons, nine doors. I mean, that's that, like, DS3DS representation that we're talking about. First one I didn't play. Yeah, so this is the, I've heard so much about this game.
Starting point is 00:39:31 I feel like we bring it up maybe like once every few months of like, yeah, what's that game with the nines in the title that we always want to like check out? But, all right, good for y'all. And number 95, we got fire emblem three houses. Whoa. That is so low. That's lower than what I'd expect. The fuck.
Starting point is 00:39:51 That's crazy. Huh. This is crazy. Is there an easy pick for a fire emblem you put above this? No, this is the pick. This is the people's pick. It's not my personal favorite, but this is the pick. So maybe Fire Emlom Awakening, maybe they have that higher?
Starting point is 00:40:08 Oh my God. This is crazy low. Three Houses is a Fire Emblem game that got it all so right. It's been hard to readjust the series to the series in its aftermath. You see, Three Houses gives us the turn. turn-based strategy we're all feigning for, yes, and it does so with style to spare. However, the real draw here and the thing that makes one so, makes this one so worthy of a note
Starting point is 00:40:29 overall is the focus and effort that's been placed on the socializing, customization, relationships, and all that good stuff that happens between scraps. It's a game you could quite happily live in for a bit, and this was Nintendo Life, PTO Island. It's been hard to readjust to the series. There's been one game afterwards. It was like a weird crossover celebration game. Yeah, I think they just want to talk shit about that one. Fire emblem, X something, exchange?
Starting point is 00:40:51 X, Fire emblem, X. I had it, and then engaged. Engage. Engage. I nailed it. Exchange. At number 94, we got Professor Layton and the unwound future. Another one I didn't play.
Starting point is 00:41:06 I mean, you hear the streets talk about Professor Layton, though. Yeah. The streets have a lot to say about it. Yeah. There's a whole batch of DS games that are just not my shit. The Ace Academy, Ace Attorney. um professor laden like all that stuff just passed me by shout out to the time that him and phoenix right fought i will be lowering the amount of games that i think i've played on this list uh to 25 25 games i probably played on this list i mean yeah i'm rapidly falling too at 93 we got
Starting point is 00:41:37 w wf no mercy i like this pin again n64 classic fuck yeah dude all right coming in at number 92 we got Kirby Planet Robobot. This is one of them once. Like if a Kirby game is going to be on the list, it's Robobot, it's superstar, and Forgotten Land. Yeah, but Robobot at 92, love this. This game is a treat. There's been a lot of rumors about it being ported to the Switch, and I hope that it is. Because I think that this, it'd be one of those ones that Mike Bless, you should play it.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Yeah? Yeah. I mean, I guess I'm becoming more and more of a Kirby guy as we go. He's getting us. Between Forgotten Land and Kirby Air Riders, I'm like, I kind of fuck with this little freak. That's a little freak of nature. fucking chef kawasaki out of here hanging out with ricky and metanite god at number 91 we got didy kong racing too low for my taste yeah i'm a little surprised it's this low perfect spot for it
Starting point is 00:42:32 you think yeah he's a hater ass hater though he's a hater ass hater because you want mario car 64 above it on this list is that what it is yeah because that's the better game bitch. Diddycon racing is better than Mario Kart 64, guys. If you're having a real talk conversation. This isn't me with Sonic Racing Cross Worlds where I want it to be better. Diddy Kong Racing is actually better than Mario Kart 64.
Starting point is 00:42:57 I mean, cross worlds might be better than world, though. I'm glad we're saying to do. But you know what I mean? I understand that there's a lot of loud people that think differently than me on that. But that's an insane thing. More fun game.
Starting point is 00:43:08 You know, less fucking space in the road. I'm going at two miles per hour in Mario Kart World. Sonic racing crossworld so I'm going so fast. Yeah. I'm going fast. But yeah, I mean, at least shout out to them acknowledging DidiCon racing. Yeah, I do think this should be higher, not significantly, but like 70s. I do wonder, are we spreading games out here?
Starting point is 00:43:28 Is this the like, we have so many rare games on the list that we got to put DaytonaCon racing lower? I don't think about rare games. I don't, this is not a rare game. I know it's made by rare, but it's not a rare game. Oh, it's a rare game in my heart. I look at it as a rare game. It has that energy. It has like...
Starting point is 00:43:44 I know, but like, Rare Games means collect-a-thon. No. Yeah. I don't know about that. Because I look at like... Yeah, it's like Prince of Persia lost crowns a Ubisoft game, but it's not a Ubisoft game. Ubisoft game means towers.
Starting point is 00:43:58 Because like I'm thinking Jet Corps Gemini, which has a lot of collectibles. But I... I don't know. I think there's a design philosophy. Well, actually, no, this... Collect-a-thon shit in this game. Yeah, but I just know... I don't...
Starting point is 00:44:10 I wouldn't put it up there. in the you collect the bananas that get spread out around the track and shit but fair enough fair enough and number 90
Starting point is 00:44:19 we got the world ends with you hell yeah that's a good one 90's a perfect spot for this one too what a cool game anyone who even
Starting point is 00:44:27 played this game it was their entire personality for that time I feel like this is to fans of this to what jet set radio feature
Starting point is 00:44:36 is to me where like when I play jet set radio future there's nothing cooler than JetSai radio feature and I feel like
Starting point is 00:44:41 if I played the world ends with you it would consume me in the same way that Jetsaid does. Yeah, this is a game that I adored when it first came out. But as it's been re-released, like, I don't like the game anymore, like the actual video game. Because they re-released it barely recently, but we're getting old. So it might have been like four or five years ago. But like, yeah, I didn't stick with it that time.
Starting point is 00:45:03 You're like Andy with Woody. Just let it go. Yeah. Fucked up. All right. That's 100 through 90. Let's get into number 89. Captain Toad Treasure Tracker.
Starting point is 00:45:15 This is a weird one just because I think the quality of this game, I'd be like, I think it should be higher, but 89 feels like a fair spot for this one. Yeah. But it's really good. Yeah, I think this is where we might start kicking in gear as far as like some of the quality Nintendo games. The games that aren't saying a 10 out of 10 masterpiece industry changing video game, but it's damn good.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Yeah. And it's made by Nintendo kind of thing. Should be high. At number 88, we got Golden Sun, the Lost, age. This might be a hot take to an extent for me. I love Golden Sun. This is a perfect spot for it, though.
Starting point is 00:45:51 I don't think that Golden Sun is this, like, legendary RPG, like, one of the greats. It was like, holy crap, we're getting an RPG this good on portable, like handheld. That was the novelty of it, not necessarily like, man, this is an all-timer. And I don't want to come off too Haiti on that because, like, I love the game, but this feels right to me. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:46:12 At number 87, we got Mario Golf Toldstool Tour. Which one is this? This is Greg's favorite. Is this the GameCube one? Oh, okay. I mean, shout out Mario Golf in general. Yeah, and I think the GameCube one was the pinnacle of the 3D Mario Golf franchise so far. Yeah, good pick.
Starting point is 00:46:31 Good pick. How many other Mario sports games do you think we see? I don't know that we see any. Really? Super Mario Strikers. I don't know. Come on. I hope so, but I don't know.
Starting point is 00:46:42 I want to see a tennis. I want Mario tennis 64. Yeah, maybe, maybe. Maybe. I don't know if I see it. The quality of this one throws me off. Because like this, this is the Shining Star example.
Starting point is 00:46:54 Mario tennis hasn't had a Toastel tour. Yeah. In my opinion. Yeah. Are you trying to say about Aces? Come on. Man, I wish that game stuck longer, man.
Starting point is 00:47:03 I like that game for a week. That's like one of the few games in the last decade that I've actually returned to GameStop. I was like, I don't want this anymore. Nobody's playing this. Because a month later, I was like, take this away.
Starting point is 00:47:13 Pick it away. Let me reuse this money to buy something better. At number 86, we got Super Monkey Ball too. Love it. Hell yeah. Absolutely love it, man. This is one of those games.
Starting point is 00:47:23 This was a like GameCube launch, if not launch title, launch window game. And oh man, this, the fun that we had on the N64 playing couch multiplayer games, taking that to the GameCube,
Starting point is 00:47:36 Monkey Ball was like, it felt impossibly fun. Hell yeah. Such a good party game. Like smash melee and this back to back, was divine. Do you watch Smiling Friends? Not yet.
Starting point is 00:47:48 There's a really funny joke in the latest couple episodes where they reference Super Monkey Ball. And he sent me just that clip. Okay. Because he knows me. Yeah. It's the funniest out of nowhere clip
Starting point is 00:47:59 of like, like whatever reason they hang out their boss's lodge or whatever. And he's like, yeah, what's up man? I got, you know, Super Monkey Ball on the GameCube. And Pim's like,
Starting point is 00:48:08 oh, you have Super Monkey Ball. I love Super Monkey Ball. And the boss is like, oh, Pim, that's what's what's up. And fucking daps him up. And they fucking rotosope it. So, like, he goes 3D out of nowhere. It's fucking hilarious.
Starting point is 00:48:17 The best is, like, people editing it, editing it to have an impact frame, like an anime where, like, right as they dab, it goes like black and white. It's so good. That's very. Fuck, yeah, dude. I knew you're, I knew you're chill, man. It's so cool. And number 85.
Starting point is 00:48:31 What a perfect pick for that joke, too. Oh, they, it's not a friend on the GameCube. It's such a funny-ass show. Oh, oh. Number 85 is beautiful joke. Now we're cooking. Love it. What a fun game.
Starting point is 00:48:42 And it's not a perfect game. not a 10. This is an 85 out of 100 topped Nintendo game. I love it. I never played Beautiful Joe. I've always wanted to. I think you'd really enjoy it. It's another one that I question in modern times how it feels. And in the time, it was amazing. I just think that we've gotten so many 2D and 3D games specifically with like the indie revolution that I'm not sure the novelty and gameplay style of this game would like feel as special.
Starting point is 00:49:08 But for the time. But for the time. And I also might be wrong. It might still really hold up. Nice. And number 84, we got F0 GX. Hell yeah, dude. Okay. Lower than you want. This is the best F0.0.
Starting point is 00:49:25 Yeah. F0.99. I was going to say. F099, actually, I think they might put higher. The problem with F0 GX is it is impossibly hard. The story mode in this game is what Eldon Ring thinks it is. Okay. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:49:43 Yeah. That's what people say about F0GX. But yeah, this game is amazing Like this came out in 2003 I think And to date a game hasn't looked faster Like I don't know how many frames it was running at But I'm pretty sure it was no less than 10,000
Starting point is 00:50:00 Yeah Dude I loved as a kid just playing anything that Whether it be F0 or something that's F0 inspired Just a fast-ass racing game that's hard for no reason I don't know why I was addicted to those fucking games This one's great GX I didn't get around to until they put it out for Switch online and try and get out there. I'm like, man, dude, what a time to be alive that
Starting point is 00:50:20 that generation of video games was. I know. And number 83, ring fit adventure. I love this inclusion. Hell yeah. I fuck with ring fit adventure. Yeah. This got like a surprise. This got like maybe half a year out of me, like almost daily of me using this thing. And honestly, I would credit RingFit Adventure with like starting my fitness journey of like wanting to work out more and be more active and fit. It's that plus really well-designed gameplay. Like gameplay that very much is one tailored toward that slow progression of being like, all right, I'm going to level up today, whatever.
Starting point is 00:50:54 This is a thing that's going to last me a while of trying to get through this adventure mode. But then also like fun battles, good workouts. That ring tool, fucking insane, the amount of different things you could do with that to get so many different workouts out of it. Like shout out to the team that made ring fit adventure. Yeah, very cool. Love to see it here. And number 82.
Starting point is 00:51:13 Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney. Cool. Makes sense. Hey man, so far, this list, I'm happy with it. I thought everything's exactly where I would put it, but I'm like, like, the representation of the games, I don't feel like they're pulling some bullshit of like, why is that here type stuff?
Starting point is 00:51:27 It's like, all right, we're in a good spot. We're very quickly about to need to pick up the pace, though. I agree with that. Number 81, we got Castlevania 3, Dracula's Curse. Wouldn't have put this one on the list? Yeah, this is they right here, considered by many to be the apex of the, the classic Castlevania entries, Dracula's curse remains a wonderful example of a talented
Starting point is 00:51:47 group of developers pushing aging hardware to its maximum potential. This is an NES one, right? This is an NES one. I thought that the Super 4 was going to kind of be the rep for old school Castlevania. Surprised to see this here. Yeah, they end their paragraph with, indeed, many consider this to be the superior to the first 16-bit entry into the series, Super Castlevania 4. And then at number 80, we have Mother 3. Let's go. Come on. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:18 Good for y'all. Good for y'all. I'm going to pause there for a second, see what's happening in super chats. Dolphin Corne says, three houses should be so much higher. I'm pissed and angry. I mean, I understand you being mad about that. That is, I think, probably the biggest mistake so far on the list. And then Oscar Navarro writes in and says, just let Sakurai work on all Nintendo IPs.
Starting point is 00:52:39 Hell yeah, man. No, let that man wrestle. I wish we could clone him. We got to make... No. If we could ever make a top ten list, top ten list of developers, we want to clone. We want a bunch of clones of.
Starting point is 00:52:52 Okay. All right? Kojima. I want five Kojima's. Yeah. And I want you to work on a full other metal of your franchise, but like one of you works on the first one, the other works with the second one.
Starting point is 00:53:02 I don't want all of them come out all the same time, right? Okay, cool. I want five Sakurize, all right? One for Smash. One for Kirby. One for Kid Icarus. One for Star Fox and then one to just mess around and have a good time. One can rest.
Starting point is 00:53:15 I want a clone. Only one of them though. Yeah. I want two suit of five ones. All right. One of you work on the good games. You work on the bad games. Keep being weird.
Starting point is 00:53:25 Keep being weird. And then I want two Neil Druckman's to fight to the death. Okay. All right. Coming in a number 79, we got elite beat agents. Hell yeah. I love it. What a great pick.
Starting point is 00:53:42 I love this game. I feel like an argument can be made from the, well, actually fucking people that I don't even know how to say it. Oh, and down the Japanese version of the game is technically better. I disagree. I think that the fun of these motherfuckers makes the charm of it all come together in a way that I prefer. Love this game.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Deeply with all my heart. At number 78, we got Donkey Kong Country 2, Diddy's Conquest? Oh, God. It's low. That's low. And they want to spread it out. We all can't be winners. They want to put the better one.
Starting point is 00:54:21 I just felt my soul leave my body. Yeah, I heard your soul leave your body. This, I hate this list. No. No. This is unacceptable. This is unacceptable. Tim, it's an emotional moment right now.
Starting point is 00:54:38 It is. I'm going to move on. You're just lashing out. I'm going to get through it. This is fucking bullshit. What does this tell us? This tells us that there better be 77 games better than not. This is the first point in the list that I'm going to look at every next pick and be like, is that better than DKC too and get mad.
Starting point is 00:54:54 The Chet's been doing that since Fire Emble, by the way. And I, that is fair too. That is fair to. This one's personal, though, for me. That's fucking crazy. What other, do you think we see? No world this is in top 25. Do they put the first DKC above this?
Starting point is 00:55:08 No, probably. No. But Nanza, I guess, automatically has to be above this now. And the tropical freeze. Tropical freeze. This is crazy. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:55:22 This is fucking crazy. That's crazy. People debate this against Mario World. This shit deserves a Grammy. Yes. One of the best gaming soundtracks of all time. Coming in. Fuck, I'm mad.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Shout out Sticker Bush Symphony. You don't Sticker Bush. Flok and Plush. Uh, text me. Not many DKC fans at IG and Nintendo Life. I tried so hard. Thank you, Logan. Fuck, man. At 77, we got Super Mario Sunshine. That's insult to injury, by the way.
Starting point is 00:55:52 That's crazy. That's fucking crazy. That's insult to injury. No! Because, like, should it be low on the list? Yes. Oh, my God. It shouldn't be on the list.
Starting point is 00:56:04 Above DKC, too, though. I'm like the biggest defender of Mario Sunshine. at this company. Yeah. For sure. Mm-hmm. It deserves to be on the list. I think it might even deserve to be number 77 on the list.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Actually, fuck yeah. I stand with that. It is not above Donkey Kong Country. Right above Donkey Kong Country, too, is kind of- That is fucked up. That is kind of nuts. Not okay. That's bonkers.
Starting point is 00:56:26 Wow. And Simon Carg says, fuck your monkey. God damn it. I don't like this. Golly. I'm being bullied. Joshy Frog in the super chat says, Mario Sunshine is the goat.
Starting point is 00:56:38 It's okay to me. We run. Yeah, it's okay. We all have our games. Mario Sunshine is not the goat. Mario Sunshine is not a bad game. Mario Sunshine is a good game. It is not a great game.
Starting point is 00:56:48 It is what it is. Okay. I'll accept that. Actually, I'd even go as far as saying it's a great game. It's just a good Mario game. Coming in at number 76, Secret of Mana. Hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:00 Yeah. Streets folk with Secret of mana. Calming down a little bit now. Yeah. This is the type of stuff. This can get me back. Yeah. We need more quality.
Starting point is 00:57:08 Secret of Mono was another one that like my babysitter Brian and I would play together all the time along with like Corona Trigger and stuff You say babysitter Brian? Yeah, his name was Brian At first I heard babysitter bride And I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:57:23 y'all are doing play Mary? Like, what was going on here? The homie, Brian was into a bunch of RPGs He's very influential. Oh yeah, shout out, Brian. Did you ever bring over a brave fencing Usashi? I like that game.
Starting point is 00:57:38 Coming in at number 75, we got Ogre Battle 64, person of lordly caliber. This is one of them ones. This is one of them big tactics ones. Nintendo didn't get Final Fantasy tactics. They got Ogre Battle 64. I just find a hilarious that they had to pull Pierre Schneider. They're like, hey, we need somebody to write about this. Who do we call?
Starting point is 00:57:58 Pear, come down from your throne. Who's the closest old? Who's the closest old we have? Who can write about Ogre Battle 64? All right. We're a fourth through the list. A fourth of the way through the list. How are you feeling so far?
Starting point is 00:58:11 Fire emblem and Donkey Kong Country, too, are my big, like, angry points. Okay. Everything else, I really fuck with it. Yeah. I'm, I mean, I'm not mad at this. Mostly because, like, so far, we're in that territory of, like, I think, weird and varied Nintendo games that, like, you know, I don't have much stake in. Like, some of these games, of course, Didi Kong Racing.
Starting point is 00:58:32 I fucking love Didi Kong Racing. But I'm not going to stay here and be like, oh, it's better than Elite Beat agents. I don't know. I don't have an opinion on that. And so, yeah, I think there are a couple of things here that jump out of me. Diddy's Conquest being one of them. But for the most part, I'm not mad at this list yet. Yet.
Starting point is 00:58:49 Coming in at number 74, we have Wave Race 64. Yo! First of all, shout out to Wave Race 64. Second of all, it's not better than Diddy's Conquest. Yes, it is. It's 100% is. It's not, though. Wave Race 64 is like one.
Starting point is 00:59:07 one of the goaded N-64 games of all time. The soundtrack has the sauce. I mean, you're right about that. The visuals? The soundtrack of Donkey Kong Country, too? Yes. That's insane. Me and you.
Starting point is 00:59:19 The vibes immaculate. Our parents took the announcer voice. Our parents kept taking us to family video to rent Wave Race and we played it when we were four years old. No, we owned that shit. Wave Race 64 stayed in the house. It's, you know, we have the memories of it. Well, like, is not.
Starting point is 00:59:37 It's not, it's not Diddy's Kong. It's not Diddy Kong racing. I also want this incredibly clear. I don't love this game. Wave Race 64, I love it. At 74, I love it. I'm only now mad because of the Donkey Kong. Wave Race 64 might be,
Starting point is 00:59:51 might be the earliest memory I have a video game. It's between this Mario 64 and Wayne Gretzky's 3D hockey. It was like my three earliest video games. And yeah, I remember going to the family video a lot and being like, I want Wave Race for some reason. Yeah, another game there. Yes, and I get where you guys are coming from here. I think it's a solid spot of where it is on the list,
Starting point is 01:00:13 but the contextualization of everything else, I get. Here's what I'll say. I think Wave Race still has some of the best-looking water in video games. Who don't Wave Race? Look at the water real quick. For an N-64 game, that water looks immaculate. I still want to drink that water. That water looks fucking amazing.
Starting point is 01:00:30 The water's even better on GameCube, but... Which one is the one on GameCube? Blue Storm, I think it's called. Wildstorm. I never played the GameCube one. GameCube fucked with water in a way that was insane. Yeah. Water and fur. Look at Star Fox's fur. Star Fox Adventures, man.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Top 10 water in video games. I'm going Wave Race 64. I'm going what's the rare game? Sea of Thieves. Have you seen the water in Sea of Thieves? Oh yeah. Oh, my God. Real good water. I don't have any more besides that. That's a shit list for another time. Coming in, number 73, we got Sin and Punishment, Star's successor.
Starting point is 01:01:05 Oh, yeah. Yeah, oh, we're cooking with that fucking weird shit, but this is that good, good shit. Yeah. Sin and Punish. On Rail shooter, so sick. Was this, this is the N64 game? Oh, Star Successor's the sequel. I'm pretty much.
Starting point is 01:01:19 I played the first Sin and Punishment then, or the previous sit and punishment. Because they have that shit on Nintendo Online. Let me tell you. This is the Wii one. The one I played, fucks. I'm both great. Yeah. I do think two is better, though.
Starting point is 01:01:32 Okay. Coming in in number 72, we got Star. Star Wars Rogue Squadron 2, Rogue Leader. Yeah. Hell yeah. God. Amazing GameCube launch title. This is one of those games you'll look at that you're like, oh, that's the remaster.
Starting point is 01:01:46 You're like, no, that's the original in 2001. Damn. It's stunning. I don't know how they did it. Are we not going to see Star Wars Racer on this list? I don't think so. Damn. I mean, I wouldn't mind.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Put that over Diddy Kong racing. I'm actually not that mad. Star Wars Racer. Star Wars Racer. I love Star Wars Racer. Quality is a question, though. Number 71, we got Xenoblade Chronicles X, definitive edition. I imagine this will be the lowest Zeno Blade Chronicles, but I think we'll get...
Starting point is 01:02:19 Is this the one that Nick reviewed? This is the one that Nick reviewed. Hell yeah. Not the definitive edition. I was going to say, this is the one that Roger would say is a reimagining of Zeno Blade Chronicles X. Fucking Roger. The fuck out of that child. In definitive edition.
Starting point is 01:02:33 And number 70, we got live alive alive. Let's fucking go. I think about this game way too often. I love that. I think about this game all the time. I fuck with Live Alive. Even though I assume, is this the... I guess it doesn't matter if it's the remake or if it's the original.
Starting point is 01:02:44 This looks like the original though. 220 remake. Oh, sick. Okay. Yeah, thankfully, the 2022 remake not only spruces up the presentation, but also gives Live Alive a global release for the first time, allowing a much wider audience to experience its amazing qualities. God, I love this game.
Starting point is 01:03:00 Even as like, you know, I've been talking to Greg about Xenoblay, or not Zinoblade, about Octopathes, Traveler is zero because he previewed it and talking to him about it and like me thinking oh do I want to play this part of me is like what if I just replayed live alive I liked how they frame that game more games need to do weird shit like that coming in at number 69 nice give me something nice Mike Tyson's punch out love it that's great really love it that's a great pick coming at number 88 Wario Land 4 does this do anything for you I'm not the biggest Wario Land fan but I appreciate it's on the I think that this is cool
Starting point is 01:03:36 and there are fans of this for sure. I'm trying to think Wario Land for I gotta Google it to see this. Yeah, okay, I did play this one then. This is one that oh, I think there's a Sid. Sid on the bus on the way to school in fifth grade.
Starting point is 01:03:50 I'm pretty sure I had this one. Yeah, and I would borrow his his GBA to play it. It blew my mind. Like, damn, Wario's just busting through things. It's fucking crazy. 67. We got
Starting point is 01:04:02 Mario and Luigi Superstar saga. On the record, I'm not the biggest Mario and Luigi fan. This is the one to put on the list. I'm glad you got it. But yeah, this is the first one. The one that started at all, there was such a novelty to it. I think at the time, people were really mad because there was Super Mario RPG.
Starting point is 01:04:23 That was so amazing and Square and these characters that are like, wow, we love them. And then they did Paper Mario, and that was loved in a different way. But everyone's kind of like, just make Mario RPG too. And then Nintendo was like, fuck you. we're going to do another thing and it was this and it was like oh like everyone wanted to hate on it because it wasn't what they wanted but they couldn't because it was really good yeah count it to this game um you know it watched that clear up scare could run think about it think about it think about it and number 66 we got donkey Kong arcade nice it's a weird one wouldn't put this on the list
Starting point is 01:05:00 mainly what mainly because i'd put donkey Kong 94 which It's just this, but with so much more. I get that. Would you not put Super Mario Brothers 1 on the list, though? No. On a top 100? A top 100, I would. But I mean, I don't think that Donkey Kong 94 is going to be on the list now.
Starting point is 01:05:17 Oh, really? Maybe it is. I would expect both. I wouldn't be bad if both were, but actually I would. I think this has to be on the list. I know it's not the full weight of how they make these decisions, but they do talk about, like, impact and all this stuff. And I think you can't not have original decays.
Starting point is 01:05:34 on this list. Like you go to a like Nintendo Museum and this is like a whole section you know like Don Kong is so pivotal for what Nintendo is
Starting point is 01:05:42 that like I understand not having it high on the list because you have better versions but yeah I just think that like it's not just a better version I think Dog Kong 94 it's like a
Starting point is 01:05:52 do you know Nintendo ball okay but we'll see it might be on the list and if both are on the list I'm fine with it and number 65 we got Dragon Quest 11
Starting point is 01:06:02 S echoes of an elusive I don't think of this is a Nintendo game. I don't either. Didn't this come out on all platforms? I think this version was specifically... Let me look at it. While not strictly Nintendo game, Dragon Quest 11 makes our list due to the franchise's strong ties to Nintendo. And the simple fact that it's on the short list of the best pure JRPs ever made, announced as an early NX game.
Starting point is 01:06:27 NX. I remember that. The code name for Switch. In 2016, Dragon Quest 11 made its way to Switch. in 2019 and proved to be its definitive version with additional story content, a fully orchestral soundtrack, and an optional, optional 2D mode with SNES-inspired pixel art.
Starting point is 01:06:47 They talk about more than you hands on here. Definitely blind spot for me, but I know people love this one. That's cool. Coming in at number 64, we got Monster Hunter for Ultimate. See, I feel like you should put a Nintendo 64 game at number 64, but that's just me. Like Donkey Kong. Not everybody's built like me, so.
Starting point is 01:07:04 But cool. Monster Hunter, Nintendo. There's the lineage there. There's the connection there. Way more of these games I haven't played than I expected. They say it again? Way more of these I haven't played
Starting point is 01:07:14 than I expected. Oh, same. Same. In fact, I'm lowering to 20 games now. Coming in at number 63, we got Street Fighter 2 Turbo. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:07:27 If we're including this game, I can't fathen having it this low. I either don't have it on the list or have this one. way, way, way higher. Yeah. This is it.
Starting point is 01:07:36 This is the one. Yeah. I agree with that. This is insane. Yeah. Like, this is top 10 Super Nintendo game. And Super Nintendo is like one of the craziest libraries ever. I mean, I think we're in, we're in bangers only territory.
Starting point is 01:07:53 Now that we're at number six. At 63? Yeah. For our top 100 Nintendo games of all time. For what we're starting to see here, I think, yeah, we're in bangers only territory. All right. We can't be fucking around now. We can't be fucking around.
Starting point is 01:08:04 From here on out, lock in everybody. Watch Mario Tennis, the original beat right above this. See how you feel then. Coming in at number 62, we got... Oh, shit. That's gross. Oh, that's a left turn. Barrett suggested we go right.
Starting point is 01:08:20 We went left. We took a hard left. We have Super Mario World 2, Yoshi's Island, at number 62. 62? That's Tim's favorite game of all time, by the way. Oh, man. This is just factual. incorrect. I'm not arguing it's a top 10 Nintendo
Starting point is 01:08:37 All-timer for everybody. Some might say it. But like real talk. This is a top 25 Nintendo game. And it just is. It just is. It just is. It just is. It just fucking is. It just fucking is. 62. Holy hell, man. Yeah. I'm going to say it right now. Yeah. Fire Unblem. Donkey Kong Country 2. Street Fighter 2 Turbo. And Yoshi's Island. Those are the ones for me that I'm like, guys, what are we doing?
Starting point is 01:09:07 We need to have a conversation. Yeah. And we're in bangers only territory. Man, shout out. I know we say it every single time this game comes up. Shout out to the art style of this game. It's perfect. This is like the first game I think I noticed I had an art style. You know, like this game stands out. I don't know if I've officially said this anywhere. I think I might have, but I'm going to officially say it now because it feels like I'm going to give some more justice than the indignities that IGN has fucking done here. Okay. Yep. By baby nursery, Yoshi's Island inspired.
Starting point is 01:09:35 Oh, that's amazing. Specifically this art style. Oh, that's fucking awesome. And it's coming together very nicely, and I can't wait for everyone to see it. Oh, I'm dying to see that. That's a big exclusive right there. It is.
Starting point is 01:09:46 That's a huge exclusive. Coming in number 61. The Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess. Again, bangers only territory. Yeah, this is lower than I thought even they would put it. But there's a lot of great games. There's a lot of Zelda's to include. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:00 And I get that. It's tough. It's tough. It's tough. But I know that there's a lot of love for Twilight Princess. I love, I mean, kind of funny. Before I played Breath of Wild, Twilight Princess was my favorite Zelda. I still think it has the best dungeons in the entire franchise.
Starting point is 01:10:13 I agree with that. The beginning of the game sucks. It does. Yeah. It's a rough first like three hours. But there's so much to love in this one. Yeah. I fuck with this game.
Starting point is 01:10:23 This is like the one. Honestly, if I had my personal choice of which Zelda movie to make, I'd probably say Twilight Princess. I like the world and the story in here I like the characters here They would never do that But I mean there's some like great
Starting point is 01:10:36 Like you know We jokes so much about like how much like story heavy What is it? The Skyward Sword is right But this one really started to feel like Them trying to get more cinematic With a bunch of stuff Oh yeah
Starting point is 01:10:49 One Remember the fever dream you had? Yeah Or like the fucking moblin That's on that huge fucking pig horse thing That you have to fight Oh so epic Yeah
Starting point is 01:10:59 Like that's such a great moment. Yeah. That was so cool. It's snowboarding. Shout out the little like the hotel. Yep. Yeah. Was that the snow capped dungeon, whatever they called it?
Starting point is 01:11:08 Oh man. God, the dungeons here. We're getting the two hook shots. Come on. At the same time. Around. The little like spin-y top.
Starting point is 01:11:16 Yeah. Spin top thing. Dude. They're hooking in the mess, man. This is the reason. I want more. Like, I want them to be on switch. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:11:24 Yeah. No, I would love this on switch. But I need, I want them to continue Zolda with like a three, game approach, right? I want the classic top-down Zelda. I want the current modern
Starting point is 01:11:34 you know, fucking air. Open air Zelda. But I want this as well. I want really good design Dungeons. Yeah. I want a good 3D fucking puzzly tight design. Like, oh. So you've been saying bangers only. Yeah. And I wasn't necessarily sure I was agreeing
Starting point is 01:11:51 with you because we've had a bunch that I'm like, these are great games but I don't know. But the three back to back here, I'm like, we might be in Bangor's only territory. 3.52 Turbo. Super Mario World to Yoshi's Island and the legend is Alda Toy Princess from here on out It better to just bang. You can't have something that's like a straggle one slip up
Starting point is 01:12:07 Of like a game that You're gonna say is better than these It's gonna be tough now that we're down to top 60 I want to get back into some of these super Chats I've been riding in with Rocky Skies 858 says Megamamon 2 should be on this List at the real washcloth says hidden gem resistance 2 for PS3 real ones no I think you're on the wrong wrong list funny Yeah Mega Man
Starting point is 01:12:29 There's the debate between Mega Man two or three. You fall into one camp. Like everybody has to make a choice and you fall into one or the other. The correct choice is Mega Man X. Well, and that's the thing. That's the separate conversation. Because I think you have to choose between two and three. You don't choose between two and three and X.
Starting point is 01:12:44 It's both. Yeah. It has to be. Mega Man X has to be here. And I think at the end of the day, they're going to go Mega Man two. I think the real ones would go three. I think they go to. Zachary Rickabow says,
Starting point is 01:12:57 Mario Sunshine is the most You Had to Be There Video Game of all time It was so much better When it was released than it is years later It was so much better When we were younger
Starting point is 01:13:06 And more stupid That's how I feel about Well not to that To the what bear is out of there I feel that about Kingdom Hearts A bit Where Kingdom Hearts
Starting point is 01:13:17 One as a kid Fucking adored it I try to play Kingdom Hearts 2 for the first time As an adult And it was so much tougher And I think that's partly Because I've
Starting point is 01:13:25 I've grown but then also just like video game mechanics and aging and all that shit. But like I regret all the time not playing King of Hearts 2 as a kid because I think I'd be a different person. Yeah. All right, let's get back into it.
Starting point is 01:13:36 Bangers only is the phrase. We'll see. As we're in the top 60. Number 60, Pokemon Black and White 2. Hey! Bangers only. Bangers only.
Starting point is 01:13:45 And yesterday we were talking on your Kirby Airwriters stream. You asked me which Pokemon's I think are here. Hard gold, soul, silver, red, blue, yellow, black and white two. We're my. They're all going to be on list for sure. sure. And then Emerald, I think is the, I'd like to see it here. But I don't think, I, black and white
Starting point is 01:14:03 too, they know ball. They know what they're doing here. They know ball. All right. Bangers only. Number 59, we got perfect dark. All right. That's a banger. Yeah. I'm with it. One of the highest rated games on Metacritic of all time. Yeah. Honestly, many people I think would say better than Golden I. And that's my thing is because of what we're kind of like talking about with what this list is. I don't don't want to see golden eye on this list. They're making a choice here and it's perfect. It'll be on this list. Oh, but you can't make a list like this without Golden Eye.
Starting point is 01:14:33 You put DK the arcade game in there. Which I have a problem with. Golden Eye is a piece of history. You gotta choose. You gotta choose for these. And even here they say, they say GoldenEye may put consoles on the map for the first person shooters, but Perfect Dark managed to take everything
Starting point is 01:14:46 that delighted us in the groundbreaking bond shooter and just ratcheted it up to ridiculous levels. So to Tim's point, that's a statement right there. Yeah. Don't be cowards. Stick to the statement. coming in a number 58 Donkey Kong
Starting point is 01:15:00 94 I thought that was 64 for a second got real excited but no they're spreading them out bless we'll get them
Starting point is 01:15:08 we'll get it later but they're both I love that this is here I personally I don't think the arcade one needs to be here if this one's here but I also understand the influence and all that stuff
Starting point is 01:15:18 but like I don't think that influence can be the only reason the thing makes the list like when it's when we're talking about the top 100 and like see this exists yeah i i feel you but i also think top 100 nintendo games there's just some games
Starting point is 01:15:33 they can't leave off there's some games that just mean too much to the company yeah even though i'm surprised we haven't seen super marie brothers one on the list yet which worries me i mean i think it's gonna be high here's the thing i wouldn't put it the thing about mario one is that it's only quote unquote not amazing compared to the best games of all time i think Mario 1 is top 30. Yeah. Really? Like I stand by that. Yeah. I mean, I love that game. But I think this far into the list, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:16:02 We'll see. We'll see. I don't want to start hating on Mario Brothers one. Super Mario Brothers one. Coming in number 57, we got Splatoon 3. Cool. Cool. Not mad at it. I am. I appreciate that. Somebody needs to be. I need to be aater. Above Twilight Princess, above Yoshi's Island. We knew a Toon 3
Starting point is 01:16:25 We knew a Splatoon had to make the list I'm not mad at it Splatoon's a very high quality game It's not my favorite thing I wouldn't put this about Yoshi's Island
Starting point is 01:16:34 or Donkey Kong GoToo or Fire Evil 3 houses But like Same A lot of people wouldn't I have to respect that But like would a lot of people
Starting point is 01:16:42 I think so Yes I don't know if they would Like now that I'm thinking about it People love Splatoon Yeah People adore Splatoon Yeah
Starting point is 01:16:51 But like Is anybody out here being like, oh yes, Watoon is better than Yoshi's Island, Twilight Princess, black and white two, perfect dark. Disgusting. I guess IGN is.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Who wrote this? Who wrote this thing? Logan plant. Logan. At number 56, we got. Super Mario Party jamboree. I was curious what Mario Party
Starting point is 01:17:13 they put on here. I think that this, they're making a call here, and I respect it. I think there's going to be at least one more. I think it's going to be one more Mari Party. There can't be.
Starting point is 01:17:22 No. My prediction. yesterday was two Mario parties. I think get a modern one and a classic one. You can't. That's the problem. No. Like, no. If you're talking about best, you need to take that shit seriously. And they're doing that here.
Starting point is 01:17:35 If they put a Mario Party 2 or something above this, I think it's like, it's fucking things up. There's an equilibrium. We got to keep it. And number 55, we got Bainetta 2. Hell yeah. Hell yeah. Bankers all day. What a game. And it was a Nintendo game. Exclusive to the Wii U.
Starting point is 01:17:54 Game spot 10 out of 10. The fuck. Hell yeah, though. Good for y'all. At number 54, we got Animal Crossing New Leaf. New Leaf. I think we'll still see New Horizon on the list.
Starting point is 01:18:08 My prediction. Oh, yeah. Much higher, though. But the thing is for me is, I just don't think it's top 10. But I do think it'll be high. At number 53, we got Metroid Dread.
Starting point is 01:18:18 Fuck. It begins. I want to be mad at this. you know oh really i yeah metro dread fucking rocks like it fucking rocks oh so you think it'll be higher i think it should be higher okay metro dread is i this is a 9.5 i yeah i'm with that like i think that the metro dread is so damn good and cool and the animations are like semen's fucking awesome oh yeah and yeah there dread's incredible i i really really think that it's a little too low here i get the criticisms of metro dread overall like
Starting point is 01:18:53 I do understand that it doesn't have the best Metroid soundtrack, and I understand that compared to some other Metroidvania's, it might not XYZ. That one, I don't fully believe, though. I'm like, you know what? I think Dred's up there with the best of them. I don't know. Coming in at number 52,
Starting point is 01:19:11 Warrior Ware Inc. Mega Microgame. Let's go! I mean, I love Warrior Ware. This to me would have been like an 80, you know? Like, we could have... I want it here. But I don't know.
Starting point is 01:19:23 need it above some of those. It's tough when we're in bangers only territory. Yeah. I just love that we have representation of a Warriorware on here on the list in general. Oh, you have to you. You have to you. I don't know if I would put the like a lot of people point to Yeah, I get it. Like, I get it.
Starting point is 01:19:40 Or Bayonetta two. You know what I mean? It's Mario Ware though, man. DK 94, perfect dark. So many white two. I don't know if I would do the GBA pick. The GBA pick feels like a oh, it's the first one. type of thing, but there have been better
Starting point is 01:19:54 Wariaware games, in my opinion. But like, which one would you choose? It's cheating, but the, what is it called? Like, Wariware Gold on the 3D.S. That's not a bad pick, actually. That is, to me, the perfect package of what that series is. I guess I'm not played that one, but I know that is kind of like the, hey, everybody's here.
Starting point is 01:20:10 Like, we're pulling all this shit together. That's one that I still will boot up my 2DSXL every once in a while, just play. My Warrior Wear pick would be smooth moves on the Wii, but you can never put that this high. You can only put this game this high. Or gold, I think you can put this high. All right.
Starting point is 01:20:28 All right. Number 51. We got advanced wars. Cool. Cool. That feels right. I think that's actually one of the best spotted games on this list so far. But like in Bangor territory though? Like are above all the other games that we talked about? No.
Starting point is 01:20:44 Those are problems. Like I think that there's like a handful of games at this point that I'm like, those should have been higher than some of these. But I also then understand the argument of the franchising and like it just getting too samey, samey, samey in the top. But if that's what it is, that's what it is. You know? Yeah. We can't change.
Starting point is 01:21:00 You know, we can't change history. I will say we're halfway through this list. And despite a literal handful of games that I'm kind of mad at their, their quote unquote, low placement, I'm into this list. I think that this is a good representative list of the top 100 Nintendo games so far. We do have 50 more to go. Yeah, 50. They have a lot of chances to fuck up.
Starting point is 01:21:21 Zach Nieschen chat in the super chat says If Donkey Conga isn't on the list I'm gonna get uptight Zach ain't got bad news We're at number 50 We're in bangers only territory I don't know if Donkey Conga is gonna make the cut
Starting point is 01:21:34 All right Let's get into Oh sorry we had one more No I read this one sorry I saw it was another Mega Man one But I didn't realize we had said Mega Man 2 specifically from Rocky Skies here All right
Starting point is 01:21:46 Let's get into it Number 50 Mario Kart Double Dash vindication for Greg Miller Cool It's weird Like Mario Kart's one of my favorite franchises
Starting point is 01:22:01 Top to bottom, period In my heart I don't know that I put More than one Mario Kart game on the list Total and it's Mario Kart 8 deluxe That's crazy But yeah you know top 100 is a lot
Starting point is 01:22:14 Top 100 is a lot Especially when you're talking about Nintendo games That's my thing is I would have gone 64 and 8 deluxe Yeah I'm not the biggest fan of it fan of 64. That's crazy. I'm also not the biggest fan of double dash. Oh, yeah, I was the perfect.
Starting point is 01:22:28 I was the perfect game for the sunshine of the series. I mean, I kind of agree. I love 64. I love 64, but also it's like such a nostalgic thing for me. Yeah, it's nostalgia, but also the vibes of 64 are still just immaculate. I just go back to it. The way that 64 feels. I hate the way that it feels like you're controlling the environment instead of controlling the cart. Yeah. Yeah. And this is unfortunate like kind of early on. I love. 3D shit or making things feel 3D when they're not. I actually loves the wrong word. When I, picking up Mario Kart 64 as much time has passed where I can look at games
Starting point is 01:23:04 with better graphics and all that stuff, going back and picking it back up and realizing that those are JPEGs that you're controlled. Oh, dude, straight out. Those aren't 3D models, brother. Those are JPEGs. And I want to be clear, I love all these games you're talking about. I'm just like being critical or thinking about like best and how good it is. Like these are games that I'd give around.
Starting point is 01:23:22 like a 7.5 or something with modern length looking back. Modern lens. Okay, I see. All right. At number 49, we got Luigi's Mansion 3. Shout up to Guigi. I think this could have been higher. Oh, okay.
Starting point is 01:23:38 Yeah, I mean, Louisiana 3 is just it's got the sauce and a half, man. I can't wait for four. I think the four is going to be incredible on the Switch 2. Yeah, I'm happy it's here. I'm not too upset about it being at 49. but I do think that this could have been higher.
Starting point is 01:23:54 Is this the only Luigi's mansion on the list? Yes. At 48, we got Wesports. I think that's good placement. Yeah, that's good. I'm not mad at that. Not too high, not too low. Very impactful game.
Starting point is 01:24:07 And also very quality game. Yeah, quality game for sure. At number 47, we got The Legend of Zelda, links awakening, all versions in parentheses. That's cheating. Yeah, that's a big one. That's interesting.
Starting point is 01:24:19 Fucking pick one, and it's the original one. Come on. No, I'm a remake boy for this one for sure. Yeah, I think I wouldn't want to be in the conversation for this one of like which Link's Awakening do we use. I understand them being like, fuck, we can't decide. I especially now on the Switch 2 where the game runs well, like I love the art style that they did. I think it makes it even more special. The soundtrack is so good with the instruments they use.
Starting point is 01:24:44 Like it's incredibly unique and the soundtrack originally was fantastic already. I just think it adds so much more depth. but this is lower than I'd expect. Like, this game's awesome. Yeah, I don't think it's better than Twilight Princess, though. I'm an uncommon, the hater, quote, unquote, of Link's Awakening, though. And that's just, I think it's a really good game. I really enjoy it, but I just, I don't, I'm not as in love with it as so many others are.
Starting point is 01:25:09 Yeah, you know, I would say that I'd put the original Link's Awakening under Twilight Princess, but I'd put the remake over Twilight Princess. I think the art style really goes a long way. I still can't get out of my head of how poorly that game ran because of its art stuff. Oh, yeah. Does, do they run better on Switch 2? Perfectly.
Starting point is 01:25:27 Perfectly? Okay. Yeah, I'm somebody who, notoriously, I'm not big into like top-down 2D Zelda type stuff, and that's a me problem, not a game problem. This might be the most I have gotten into one, though.
Starting point is 01:25:38 When I played the remake, I was, it captured me for at least a moment at time. I never, like, beat it or anything like that. But when I was playing, I was like, oh, I'm actually pretty into this. at 46 we got f0x oh wow no no no which one is this and 64 1 oh no i'm just saying no love this game it's not over gx that's surprising wow no this is a parisniner call if this was f099 at the 46 spot it'd be like
Starting point is 01:26:12 y'all nailed it what was the um what was the institute It was a G4? It was like a N-S64 game. It was G-4. Oh, Extreme G. Oh, Extreme G. That was my F-0 for N-64. I fucked with Extreme G.
Starting point is 01:26:27 It was awesome, but yeah, we don't need two of them on the way. Yeah, I do remember playing some F-0-X and being like, oh, that's cool. At number 45, we got Super Mario Brothers, the first one. Respect. Respect. Again, I could argue it higher, but we'll see what's on the list above it. And number 44, we got. Banjo Kazui.
Starting point is 01:26:49 Yeah. I mean, I think that's the right spot for it. It's a weird one, though. It's a weird one seeing after Super Mario Brothers. This seems low, right? Like, I feel like people would jump to it being... Well, they want to spread out, you know, this. This and DK 64.
Starting point is 01:27:07 Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, I, I, the lens I look at, Banger Cizui through are interesting, because I didn't play Bainjoo Zui as a kid. I played it on Xbox 1 via rare replay and fucking, I adore this game. I think it's fucking great. But I don't have like the nostalgia lens for it
Starting point is 01:27:26 to be like, oh, the greatest thing of all time. Like, I look at this and I'm like, honestly, this feels right. This is kind of the highest I would put it in my brain. Okay. But I'm also, I just don't have that same kind of level of thing. Because I also think that this game, when you talk about influence
Starting point is 01:27:38 and what it did at the time and looking at where platformers went afterwards, like you got Bangerizu Kizuzee on NSTI. And on PS2, thinking how many games are that, era were Ratchet and clank, Shaq and Daxter. It was always somebody in somebody, right?
Starting point is 01:27:52 Everything wanted to be Banjo Cazuli. I think somewhat even more so than Mario 64. Yeah. And that's the, like, I will be upset. I already know I'm upset that Mario 64 will be higher than this game. Even Mario, first of all, Maro 64 should be higher than this game. But also, Mario Odyssey, I would say,
Starting point is 01:28:12 even took inspiration from Banjo when you want to talk about the format of getting a collectible and you're staying there. right? It is about getting all the different collectibles in this world in a free open air sort of structure. Banjo did it. At number 43, we got Super Mario Brothers Wonder. I like this. I think this is the right spot for this. Do we see other new Super Mario Bros. games on the list? I don't think so. Wow. Not even hear me out. Wii U. Right?
Starting point is 01:28:43 Yeah, I'm a big Wii U guy. You don't think you put it above this? I don't think IGN does. What about Nintendo Life? I don't think so. Okay. Yeah. I think this feels very good to me. At number 42, we got
Starting point is 01:28:59 Mario Kart World. Okay. Okay. No. I think the Mario Kart World hate is incredibly overblown. I am cool with this being here. I think it's above double dash for sure. I don't think Double Dash should have been on the list.
Starting point is 01:29:13 I don't think this should have been on the list either. Yeah, I don't, I'm almost like, Mario double dash this and eight deluxe being on, assuming eight deluxe is on the list. It has to be a stop time. That's a bit much. Yeah. Here's the thing. In terms of production quality, Mario Kart world is insane.
Starting point is 01:29:30 I get that. I respect that. As the design of the game, of the gameplay, of trying to make Mario Kart an open world kind of feeling vibe, but not really committing to that, I think it is a 7.5 good first attempt at that. and I think it's a disappointing follow-up to Mario Kart 8, a game we have been waiting for a sequel to for fucking 13 years. I think a lot of what he's saying is accurate. I also think that the open world stuff, we all wanted it to be better.
Starting point is 01:30:00 It should have been better. Don't even worry about that stuff. Just worry about what Mario Kart is, the Grand Prix and all that stuff. But even the open world stuff and how they design that going into the Grand Prix, like it gets in the way of the Grand Prix as well. I don't think so. I think the production design, the music,
Starting point is 01:30:15 the elements of when you're on the straightaway, where it's their design, the open areas and you're designed to get from course to course in the Grand Prix specifically, it's beautifully designed.
Starting point is 01:30:24 Rainbow Road alone, that entire thing, it's like by far the best that it's ever been in Marvel. Oh, yeah. And I just feel like that's true. Like, it's the best Grand Prix
Starting point is 01:30:32 Mario Kart's ever had. I just like that we're at a place where if Nintendo would made Sonic Racing Cross Worlds, it would be top 42 on the list. Think about that because it's better than Mario Kart World.
Starting point is 01:30:45 Just Plus imagine if Crossworlds beat Mario Car World for Best Racing Game It's not going to Think about it Oh dude
Starting point is 01:30:55 There's a universe where good When I tell you I would become unstoppable That reaction stream You guys Oh Oh you think I'm nasty
Starting point is 01:31:04 Now with the Sonic Love Oh shit You would see me In the new year Oh man He's so cool I'd fucking drive In like a Sonic cart
Starting point is 01:31:14 I might fucking make my own fucking gear machine, whatever the fuck they call it to ride and to work with with some guys. Same gear, baby, let's go. Let's go. At number 41, we got the Legend of Zelda,
Starting point is 01:31:28 just the original Legend of Zelda. Cool. Hi. A little too high. Yeah, I'm with YouTube, Eric. Like this. It has to be there on the list for Top 100 for sure, but like,
Starting point is 01:31:40 if we're just being real, though. It's the weird one where in the way that I feel like Super Bowl. Barrier Brothers and DK Arcade need to be on the list. I don't know if I feel that as strongly for Legend of Zelda, especially if you're going to have Link to the Pass and shit on the list. Like, I guess the thing I would argue against myself with would be to then look at what the original Zelda brought to the table as far as like,
Starting point is 01:32:03 open world, exploring and dungeons and all this shit, right? But like, I don't know. You're just, your dungeons are just a bunch of, you're just finding a bunch of dragons. I'm like, Link to the Past. Dinosaurs. Well, Link to the Past is like, probably... That's going to be top 15. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:32:20 Yeah. It needs to be. Well, no, I know those are going to be... But I feel like, Link to the Past almost overrites this game. I mean, it's the Mario, Mario 3 and World argument, so... I'm not bad. I guess so. I guess so.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Yeah. I'm fine with it being here. I don't think you put it above Link's Awakening, but I'm also not like... I'm not hell mad about it. I don't think you put it above Super Mario Brothers is my thing. Yeah, I agree with that. Oh, I agree with that, yeah, actually. I don't think Link to the past.
Starting point is 01:32:44 overwrites this one because I think link to the past finally gets into that designing more of a guiding kind of thing that that series becomes whereas this was fully just like get lost and figure shit out which is like why Breath of the Wild is
Starting point is 01:33:00 like what it is today right so yeah Alster's got beef with this game fucking put the bomb next to the wall and just pray get the fuck out of here let's pray you felt you
Starting point is 01:33:14 You found the last dungeon by doing that. Here's a rock. Blow it up, maybe. At number 40. At number 40, we got Super Smash Bros. Melee. All right.
Starting point is 01:33:23 I love it. I mean, yeah, but see, to me, this is where this, like, this makes sense. And I want to say it's where it belongs.
Starting point is 01:33:28 I obviously love melee so freaking much. But there's no way IGN was going to put melee in like a top 15. Yeah. Like, it's going to be ultimate. At number 39, we got Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Love it.
Starting point is 01:33:43 Respect that. Does that feel right, 39? It does. And this next to melee, like, I really, I really feel a good way about this. At number 38, we got Mario RPG Legend of the 7 stars. We're in a good place here, guys. I like it. I like it.
Starting point is 01:33:59 This is like bangers only, but like to a higher level now. Yeah. You know what I mean? Lock in everybody. We're locked in. All right. No losers. At number 37, we got Metroid Zero Mission.
Starting point is 01:34:10 Cool. In parentheses, plus Metroid. I get it. Like, it's, you know, similar. the Link's Awakening thing. But like I was saying this earlier, I do think that Zero Mission is one of the rare examples that it's just so much better than the first game
Starting point is 01:34:22 that you don't need to play the first game. 36. We got. Zubishi kicks ass. Golden 9-07. Come on. Cowards. Cowards.
Starting point is 01:34:33 It's definitely like we're putting the impact over quality between this and Perfect Dark. You don't need both. Maybe for a top hundred you do, whatever. You don't need this higher than some of the games we just talked about. And even with, and this is like a tough thing because I know like they have a bunch of different people, right? Their blurbs.
Starting point is 01:34:48 But for the blurb for perfect dark, they talk about like how perfect dark improved on golden eye. And so I think it's just kind of contradictory to have golden eyes so much higher than perfect dark. They did say in the perfect dark blurb, I think they did phrase it away where they're like, oh, it amplifies, you know, it makes everything bigger or whatever. But they don't say better, but you mean better. Yeah. I can read between the words. Yeah, you should have done better. Don't do this.
Starting point is 01:35:15 At 35, we got Super Mario 3D World plus Bowser's Fury. Fuck yeah. Hell yeah. Nice. Again, I don't even want to say I'm a defender of this game because it doesn't need defending, but I am, I do think that this game, no matter how highly it's rated, is underrated. I think 3D World is peak. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:36 Do we ever get a 3D World 2? I don't know. Probably not. I feel like they could do it. Like why not? It kind of was already too Because 3D land But yeah
Starting point is 01:35:44 I guess you're right Um Super Mario Super Mario's new 3D world Don't say that You don't intend to No I don't say that
Starting point is 01:35:53 A new era Let it die please At 34 We got Star Fox 64 Oh yeah brother Joy to my heart I love this game
Starting point is 01:36:03 So dearly One of my most replayed games Of all time Make sure to play through It at least once a year I love it Nothing will ever
Starting point is 01:36:10 match this Like, I think there's energies about this game. There's things about it that are so place in time, but also timeless. It's weird. And I feel like if they were, if somebody were to literally copy this exact thing and just make it better in every single way, today, it wouldn't be better. And, like, being mind-blown of, like, learning about the different paths, finding that different final boss, right? I think it's like, you have to do that whole different pathway. Like that shit was, again, you unlocked like a different fucking dimension in your brain.
Starting point is 01:36:43 I'm like, holy shit. This is crazy. I ended up playing Star Fox 64 later in life. But if I can go back in time and like slip myself a game when I was like a young, young kid on the NCD4, I would have done that with Star Fox 64. Because I think I would have had more of the brain and more of like the time and curiosity be like I'm going through every little corner. I'm like checking everything out. That was me, man. That final boss gave me nightmares.
Starting point is 01:37:06 Yeah. fucking freaky huge face so hype though what's his name andros andros every voice line of this game oh so good at 33 we got donkey con country tropical freeze hell yeah brother this is a good game I played this in the first time it's too low
Starting point is 01:37:24 but yeah it's too low man it's I get it they already said IG aren't the big donkey Kong country fans because they're fucking morons this should be higher top 33 though I can't be mad at the spot. It's like, this is very respectable.
Starting point is 01:37:43 They're showing this game is love that it deserves. I think it deserves more. But I'm not going to be mad. That much higher than Donkey Kong Country, too, though. Keep going, sorry. And number 30. Do you like that's what you're really upset about it? To me, it's a Mario World where like, what day is it for me?
Starting point is 01:38:02 I don't know. I'm constantly going back and forth between the two. I think there are a lot of things that Tropical Freeze does so much better than I do think too though like overall it is that thing of like oh it came first and I usually don't care that much about that stuff it still today holds up
Starting point is 01:38:19 for the things that it did first like ah that game is and I think there's something about the personality I think of exactly yeah of that one that I get at 32 we got Earthbound baby nice I feel good about this place for it I think this is a good placement for Earthbound
Starting point is 01:38:35 especially because they had three on the list yeah I think when we were guessing earlier We were saying around 30, so that's perfect. At 31, we got Mega Man 2. Cool. They made a choice. Yeah, they made a choice. I respect that.
Starting point is 01:38:47 And this could be higher, but we're getting to a point that we can't say that about every game. Yep. Because that's how number four. And they got to spread the love because X has got to be on here too. You're right. And I do think that they will make the choice to put X above. Yeah. At number 30, we got Pickman 4.
Starting point is 01:39:05 Cool. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Shout out to Mike. Shout out to Mike. Shout out to Pikmin people. Pickman 4. Interesting choice.
Starting point is 01:39:11 Like this one, I feel like was a little divisive, but the shows the side that IGN falls on. Devisive only, everyone agreed it was high quality, but divisive in terms of the Pikmin games, of like, there were some choices they made
Starting point is 01:39:22 that people online were mad about. I realized how dumb that sounds when I said it. I want to make it to super chat from Sasquatch only, now that we're in the top 30. They say, pay for Mario 1,000 on your door, R. R.E.1, custom robo, top 30, plus Glover.
Starting point is 01:39:38 I don't think you'll see Glover. but I mean, maybe Glover. Paper Mario, a thousand year door. You'll see it, yeah. And number 29, we got Paper Mario a thousand year door. There you go. I love it. I think that's a very, very nice spot for the game.
Starting point is 01:39:52 And number 28, we got Xenoblade Chronicles, the first one. Cool. I wonder how many more Zeno Blade Chronicles games are going to see? I think this might be it. Yeah. People are going to be mad. You don't think three is going to be on there? I don't know. Admittedly, people do love three, like a lot. I don't know which is the one that people are like,
Starting point is 01:40:10 this is the one. So maybe, maybe. I think it'll be three. And number 27, we got Pokemon yellow. I keep forgetting in this conversations to bring up yellow. Oh, and they have red and blue.
Starting point is 01:40:21 Yeah, so cool. I love this. I love it. This to me makes so much sense. Because obviously, this is one of those games where it changed everything. So you want to give it credit.
Starting point is 01:40:33 But like I was saying earlier, it's like, Gen 1 is broken. Gen 1 has a lot of problems with it. gameplay-wise. So I like it here, knowing that there will be our golden soul's over. Yeah. Oh, we already had a black and white two. I think this means we don't get emeralds. I'm okay with that. What about X and Y? No, no, no. No. At number 26. I don't think X and Y makes anybody's like top five Pokemon games that have played all of them. I got Pokemon Puzzle league above
Starting point is 01:41:02 X and Y. You know what I mean? I never played X and Y. I'm not like that. Shown. X, This is totally fine. Number 26, we got Castlevania Aria of Sorrow. Okay, cool. I mean, yeah, one of the GBA ones had to make it. To me, those are the ones that I'm like, I played all of them. I couldn't tell you which
Starting point is 01:41:19 one's which, though. Yeah. A lot of Castlevania love on this list. You love to see it. Wait, with this one, hold on. Was this D.S. Or is this the GBA one? This is 2003? Gamewood. Okay, GBA. Yeah, because the circle of moon and then I got a
Starting point is 01:41:35 I forget We got a number 25 Super Mario 64 I mean hey I'll take top 25 I'll take top 25 It's
Starting point is 01:41:46 Mario 64 might be the most complicated complicated game for me to accurately explain my thoughts on where I've heard the arguments I understand so many things and everyone's wrong but me and you
Starting point is 01:42:01 yeah Like Mario 64, it's just the fucking, it's just the fucking. Magnificantly designed video game. It's one of those things where I understand where people are coming from, but I also would understand if this was number one on the list. Yes. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Now, do you think they make a statement? Because still we haven't seen DK64.
Starting point is 01:42:23 That's good, bear. At the end of the day, I respect this. It ushering into the top 25, I know we've seen. said this for the last two hours from here on out. From here on out. Bangers only. This is really the indicator. This is the real. This is the intro. You drew a line in the sand. All right. Because now we're in the top quarter. Now we're in the top quarter.
Starting point is 01:42:44 Now we're in a game that we thought might make top ten. Yes. Yeah. So at number 24, we got Legend of Zelda, Majores mask. Fuck it. All right. We're cooking with grease. We're cooking. At number 23, we got Super Mario Galaxy. We're chafing it up. One, Galaxy one. Galaxy one. Because we're going to see two.
Starting point is 01:43:06 We're going to see two. We're going to see. IGN is putting Galaxy 1 and 2 in their top 25 Nintendo games. Because we're cooking. I fucking love that. I fucking love that. That's a strong assumption. I know we're assuming.
Starting point is 01:43:21 Oh, I'm going to be so bad. But like, it's not guaranteed yet. No. IGN knows the two is better than one. I'm telling you, I know them. I know them for this. They will. But does Nintendo
Starting point is 01:43:32 Left know that? Yes, they have to. At number 22, we got Donkey Kong Bonanza. Okay, dude. Hey, oh man, we are in good spots right now.
Starting point is 01:43:43 Logan Plant lost a fight somewhere. He lost the fight. He lost a fight. And number 21, we got Legend of Zelda, a link between worlds. People love this one, right?
Starting point is 01:43:58 Whoa! I do. I do too. This is not a top 20, when we're talking about the games we're talking about. I don't have a strong opinion on this one. I could see an argument for top 25. Above Majoras mask.
Starting point is 01:44:13 I don't see it above Majora's mask. I think that is where I kind of falter here in this placement. I probably would swap those two. I do think it's like if we don't get this game, I don't think we get back to, you know, the kind of choose your, like playing your play in, your playground stuff that we got in Breath of the Wild. Like I think a link between worlds was a big step into getting us back to that like very like,
Starting point is 01:44:41 important piece of what Zelda was from Zelda one, right? Um, but it's also like all these games are just trying to be linked to the past. That's the thing, dude. And it's like, I think it does a very, a great job even. This is an eight out of ten. Wow. And I love it, but like, I don't, this is not a top. 21 Nintendo game.
Starting point is 01:45:05 I need the import this to... The problem with it, and this is like kind of the same problem with Breath of the Wild and a little bit of tears, because once you can get into the part of the game where you choose any dungeon in any order, there is no like scaling and difficulty
Starting point is 01:45:20 that like I think the other games do very well in really smart ways because they're designing a specific kind of trajectory for you. And number 20, we got Resident Evil 4. I can't be mad. I was saying, like, the top 10, I feel like Tetris is going to be the only non-pure Nintendo game because of what this list is. This seems wild.
Starting point is 01:45:51 It does seem wild. It's wild in the sense of what I said earlier, of, like, if it's eligible, we got to treat it. Like, we can't be like, oh, well, we don't want to have too many third parties in the Top 10 or whatever. And I'm saying this is somebody who like, I don't love Reson Neal 4 as much as the world loves the Reson Eagle 4. I really, really, really do like Reson Eagle 4 a lot.
Starting point is 01:46:10 But like, and I will honestly, number 28, I don't get mad at that. Other than the fact that I know y'all love it more than that. I mean, we'll see what's above it. I also just briefly want to say, link between worlds I just realized is above Galaxy. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 01:46:26 And number 19, we got Final Fantasy 6. Shit, man. We are, damn. We are fucking. Like, this is, to say bangers only is like, understatement, like, this is 10s only. I can't wait to see what game is like the odd one out. We're going to get to and be like, why it was linked between worlds, honestly.
Starting point is 01:46:44 I think like that, because we're talking about Mario Galaxy 10, Resident Evil 4, 10, Final Fantasy 6, 10. Link between worlds, I don't think, even the people that love that game, aren't giving it a 10. What did I, Bear, let me know what IGN gave it because I'm curious. GameSpot gave it a 10, and that was the game of the year. There you go. Yeah, it's fun.
Starting point is 01:47:02 game spot. You know, yeah. They don't even have a place. At number 18, we got Fire Remblem Awakening. Damn. You know what?
Starting point is 01:47:13 I really love and respect this. Fire emblem is fucking awesome. Awakening is fucking awesome. Three houses being that low is crazy, but I love this game so much that I'm not mad. Nice.
Starting point is 01:47:25 And number six. In theory, just like if I just were to say something, if someone asked me, Tim, is Fire Emumumelmol awakening in your top 10 Nintendo games personally, I'd be like, yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:33 Okay. If I started doing the math It wouldn't. It wouldn't be. But it has potential. Yeah, it's in my mind. And number 17, we got Animal Crossing New Horizons. Yeah, cool.
Starting point is 01:47:44 Outside of the top 10. I knew it was it going to be top 10. I think this makes sense. You got to give it the love, but in terms of like the game, best game, I don't know. As we're approaching this, I want to remind people that the top 10 that we have predicted looks like this. Not in it, not in order just of what's in the top 10. Mario World, here's the kingdom, Aquarina, Link to the Past, Super. Metroid, Smash Ultimate, Mario Card 8 Deluxe,
Starting point is 01:48:07 Pokemon Heart, Gold, Slash, Soul, Silver, Mario Odyssey, and Tetris. We've not seen any of those games yet. Damn. Good. Coming in, at number 16, we got the Legend of Zelda Wind Waker. Love it, love it.
Starting point is 01:48:21 I think a fantastic spot for that game. Yeah. In my heart, it's higher. That's the thing, too. Yeah, in my heart, it's higher, but that's, we're talking about tens. And number 15, we got Oh
Starting point is 01:48:35 Pokemon heart gold I called it I called it I can't even be mad at this This is top three for me For sure But I get it This makes sense to me
Starting point is 01:48:45 The list of games we have Man All right At 14 We got Super Mario Galaxy 2 Damn Damn
Starting point is 01:48:56 Okay Did we say that one Like I said They're gonna choose Odyssey I don't agree with that Oh yeah okay But I'm giving them the claps.
Starting point is 01:49:05 They have Galaxy 1, they have Galaxy 2, both in the top 25, with Mario 64, by the way. Hell yeah. But both of these with Galaxy 2 higher and this much higher, oh, I love to see it. Now, can I ask a question? Yeah. Is Pokemon Go a Nintendo game?
Starting point is 01:49:20 No. No? Okay. But I mean, like... Because we've not seen it on this list yet? I think they... Probably in their minds, they count it. I don't think it makes their top 100, though. Even though I do think Pokemon Go
Starting point is 01:49:33 was on the top 100 games of all time for IGN at one point. Yeah. Which I felt like was an insane choice. I don't know. Pokemon, we'll get into a different point, but I got thoughts. Number 13, we got Metroid Prime plus remaster.
Starting point is 01:49:49 13 is good. 13. That's a good spot. When we were talking about it for the top 10, the Super Metroid versus Metroid Prime thing, it's like, I didn't think they were going to put both. And like, I love the energy around Metroid Prime. Like, hell yeah. This game deserves every,
Starting point is 01:50:03 bit of love, it's gotten, and 10 times more. I like it at 13, though. I like it at 13 as well. That kind of feels right to me. Top 10, something's off there. Coming in number 12, we got Super Mario Bros. 3.
Starting point is 01:50:16 We're starting to say something. We're starting to say something. That hurts. This one we italicized, right? We didn't bold it. We italicized because we said Mario World. Yeah. We said Mario World is going to be in there.
Starting point is 01:50:26 But it's still stinging to my heart. We're cooking. Because this is one where it's like, it's always in contention from number one. Yeah. Yeah. And for me, Tim and I have talked about this so many times of like growing up, really being into world because of the art style.
Starting point is 01:50:40 But like the older I get when I return to those games, I do think three is the better game. I've always, listen, I've always been team three. Y'all know this. Yeah. You all know this. And number 11, we got. Oh. Oh.
Starting point is 01:50:53 I fucking called it. Oh my God. I nailed it. Oh my God. I said number 11 knocking right on the fucking door. Barrett shot the shot sniper shit. Oh. Super Smash Bros.
Starting point is 01:51:04 Ultimate at number 11. He just did one of the Ness Bat, home run. That's crazy. Perfect critical hit. I can't believe I fucking killed. That was some crazy shit. Good for you, Barrett. I hate this.
Starting point is 01:51:18 That's tough. I truly believe there's no world that Smash Brothers is in top 10. Smash Brothers is the most Nintendo and Nintendo game could be. I can't cry about 11, though. I get it. I get what they're doing. It did sound like you're choking. So, yeah.
Starting point is 01:51:32 You know, it is hidden. Doing the math, because we missed out on two games, right? Smash Ultimate and Pokemon Heart Gold, Soul, Silver didn't make the top 10. The other eight bolded games haven't been said yet. However, we have one other italicize that also hasn't been said. Two other italicize. Wait, no, one other italicize, sorry. Which is Breath of the Wild.
Starting point is 01:51:54 We italicized that because we said tiers of the kingdom is going to make top 10. So now I imagine both games. Oh, well, hold on. We need to have a conversation about this. Which one? They put Mario Galaxy 1 and 2. Yeah. So they might put Breath of the Wild to Sears of the Kingdom.
Starting point is 01:52:08 Yeah. Like, I mean, that's what they have to do. That's what they have to do. They're not going to leave out Breath of Wild. Yeah. But they might choose. I feel like most people will just choose one. On a top 100 list?
Starting point is 01:52:20 Yeah. Those are both, those are top two. I mean, not in this list. They're not going to do that. I mean, I'm with you. But those are the two best Nintendo games ever made. I was the one to make the argument earlier that they're different games. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:52:31 I just, I don't, I think they're both here. They're both here. That's crazy. Honestly. But I also, I can't imagine putting either one of them not in the top 10. Exactly. Oh shit. Tim, you would be, you would love to see my top 100 video game list of all time. If you're talking about Tears of the Kingdom and Brother of the Wild and Top Tens, oh boy, you'd love my list.
Starting point is 01:52:54 Shit. Now, other games we had listed, not italicized or anything. we had Mario Galaxy 2, which we've seen, Mario 64, we've seen, and I'm crossing new horizons, we've seen, Resonio 4, that was italicized. Yeah, we've got to kill the top 25. Have we seen Chrono Trigger?
Starting point is 01:53:10 No. Oh, no. Oh, that's the only game. Mega Man X either. Oh, shit, dude. One of those games isn't making it. I don't think either of them. Chrono Trigger, I think Chrono Trigger is going to make it.
Starting point is 01:53:21 Chrono Trigger has to. The fact of the Follomack 6 was already seen, I think we get Chrono Trigger. So no Mega Man X is what we're saying. But no Mega Man X is what we're saying. That's fucked up. But Mega Man X, they're not putting top 10. I know.
Starting point is 01:53:33 That's why it's fucked up. Like, it's not going to be on this list. All right, let's get in. Let's get into it. At number 10, we got Mario Card 8 Deluxe. A perfect number 10. Love that. Fantastic.
Starting point is 01:53:46 At number nine, we got the Legend is out of link to the past. That hurts. That hurts. But, hey, this is competition out there, man. But dang, dang. Dang. And number eight We got Super Metroid
Starting point is 01:54:01 So far we batted a thousand I know man This is crazy I love it though But dang these two are never I get it I get it We're getting
Starting point is 01:54:09 Oh my Dude are they about to have Both Breath of Wild And Two's the Kingdom In the top five And Ocarina Oh my God They can't do that can they
Starting point is 01:54:16 I guess they can They make the rules Holy crap And number seven Link to the past below Ocarina We got Chrono Trigger
Starting point is 01:54:25 There it is Man I love that they're just like in the top 10. Let's just give the bottom half to the old people. Here's your Super Nintendo games. Have some fun. Good for them. Okay.
Starting point is 01:54:36 God. At number six, we got the Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time. Oh, my God. They're about to put breath of the long and tears the kingdom in the top five. Oh, my God. I love them for that.
Starting point is 01:54:48 Dude, real talk. I do too. That's fucking awesome. At number five, we got Petrus. Fuck, yeah. Dude, we fucking nailed this. Yeah, we fucking, we, certainly there's not a surprise here.
Starting point is 01:55:02 There's no room for a surprise with what I'm seeing on our list. At number four, we have Super Mario Odyssey. Yeah, okay. Top three. Top three. And number three, we have Super Mario World. That's fucking shit. Holy shit.
Starting point is 01:55:21 Okay, well, actually, hold on, hold on. We got to rewind because there's no way number one and two is here's the canny breath of the well. There's no way. So what other, is it Mega Manette? No. It's Breath of the Wild and tears of the kingdom. That's fucking nuts. Oh my God. You can't do that.
Starting point is 01:55:32 Dude. You can. Hey, I'm going to say this right now. I know this is going to be an unpopular opinion because I know what those games do to people. Yeah. If they have those games at number one and two, oh, this is so funny that I'm saying this, but I stand fucking by it. I'm going to be hell of man.
Starting point is 01:55:46 If Breath of Wild is over tears. I want tears in number one. Commit to the bit. Fucking say something here. Say something, okay? I can't wait for this. Because having both is showing love to breath. Yeah. Yeah. But it's also saying
Starting point is 01:55:59 the tears is better. You get them saying? You know what? I get exactly what you're saying. And I want them to say that. And if they do, I fucking commend them. Because that is the statement. That is the statement that with a list that I think, for the most part, backs up those choices. Crazy. But we
Starting point is 01:56:15 must be missing something. I truly, I can't fathom that they do that. Here's what I'll say. The worst possible thing they can do is for number one, go Zelda, Breath of Wilde, in parentheses. Plus, here's the guy. Or advice. I can't think of any other game that can slide in. Mega Man X is, I think, the only game that isn't on this list that comes to mind that I'm shocked.
Starting point is 01:56:35 Yeah. I mean, we've exhausted every single thing we listed aside from Breath of Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Yeah. So number two, we got the Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild. Oh, my God, they're doing it. And at number one. Hold on. Wait, what did you say?
Starting point is 01:56:52 Big Man X. How amazing would it be if Mega X was number one? I'd walk out of here and go home. Dude, they're... Wait. That... Dunkin'clock. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:57:02 Dude, this is crazy. I'm so excited. I hope they do this because this will be like the greatest shit list of all time. Like, there's no other way you can do this, I think. I think it has to be Tears of the Kingdom.
Starting point is 01:57:12 And number one, we got fucking Tears of the Kingdom. Salute. Three salutes from me. That's a fucking insane thing to do. IGN. Breath of the Wild may be the more important game, but we firmly believe
Starting point is 01:57:25 the Legend of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom is the better one. Hey, hey, hey. I know the internet is pissed off. Oh my God. I know the internet is fucking mad about this shit. Oh, I love it, dude. Stand on that shit. Have something to say and say it.
Starting point is 01:57:40 I love this top 25. Replace on Zelda, fucking Dark World, what's it called? Link Between Worlds with Mega Man X. Oh, yeah. Then you got a list. Then you got a fucking perfect top 25. And then maybe fix Yoshi's Island and, uh,
Starting point is 01:57:55 What was the other, like really... Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong Country 2. Yoshi's Island and Fireman 3 houses, I think, are the most egregious place. It was that Street Fighter 2 to... And Street Fighter 2. Yeah. And Wave Race. And Wave Race.
Starting point is 01:58:09 Thumbs up for me. I like this list. Dude. Definitely far from perfect, like we're talking about. Far from perfect. That list can never be. True. Like your own list, that's what's perfect to you.
Starting point is 01:58:18 But like, I fucking, I love this. They had something to say, these two games are so damn special that they are that good. They will take up the one and two spot above Mario World and Odyssey. Oh my God. That is insane. That is actually insane. Because of this, like Mario 3 didn't make top 10. Damn, I didn't even think about that.
Starting point is 01:58:38 Dang. Holy crap, man. Hey, I stand by those games. All right. Those games are fucking magnificent. A few more supertises that we got. Zachary wrote in and said, even though Barrett insults me earlier about Sunshine,
Starting point is 01:58:49 I'm still with him, DK64 over Mario 64. 40 Viz says Tales of Symphonia should have been considered since it was exclusive on GameCube in North America, but still a banger list. And then Uncle Death says, Conquers Bad Furday, not making it, and the top 100 is fucked up, yo. No, it's not.
Starting point is 01:59:04 Tim, we did it. I've never, I felt emotions today that I've never felt before. Dude, that's what Shitless does. Yeah. Chitless brings us to that place. Yeah. Where we feel things.
