Okay a lot of people seem to be upset over my picks, so I'm sorry that my personal opinions don't seem to line up with most others. I know I accidentally left out a few games here and there, and didn't end up picking any Pokemon or Fire Emblem games. But this video is just supposed to be for fun, and I'm well aware of how strange some of my decisions were. Just try not to take this too seriously. Thanks! And just for the record: current me would change 1995 to DKC 2, 2001 to Smash Melee, 2006 to Twilight Princess, and 2012 to Xenoblade. Opinions change :) Plus 2021 would be Metroid Dread, and 2022 would be Kirby and the Forgotten Land
People making top 10 or "best of year" lists need to stop apologizing over their personal picks. Your opinion doesn't have to align with internet consensus. It would be boring if it did.
2003-2007 is such an interesting period with how many niche and interesting great titles Nintendo was pumping out, the transitions from GBA to DS and GC to Wii. The graphics and artstyles were so charming. Many of those series would become either dormant or have sequels that just couldn’t match up. The games are like something you’d see some kids playing in a basement after watching Nickelodeon or Cartoon Network. Such an interesting era in Nintendo.
To be honest we are almost in a bit of a renaissance of this era. Lots of love for games like Metroid, advanced wars, Fire emblem, in edition to excellent titles in the Mario and Zelda franchises. We’re in a golden era right now.
One of the overall best things about all the videos on this channel is that they finally make me feel like I'm not the only person who actually enjoys using motion controls, since it seems like everyone universally agreed to hate on them for no real reason
@UA-cam Userman Let's buy a VR googles :D Maybe it's silly, but sometimes when I play Beat Saber on my oculus I feel like it was 2007 and I was playing Wii Sports, good time
I think heartgold and soulsilver were the biggest offenders. It's competition is litterally Wii sport resort lmao. I'd understand that most generations up to 2016 are quite similar and up to personal preferences, but HGSS is probably the only game that gets universal acclaim and consistent top spots on community tier lists. I totally understand that red and blue shouldn't win over ocarina of time (even if it should really compete against Mario 64 for the 1996 release, and it's definitely better than Mario 64) but I think at least one Pokémon game deserves a win, and HGSS is just the most consensual one and arguably the peak of the franchise, as well as not having a lot of competition.
Highly recommend playing Earthbound! I loved Yoshi’s Island as well, but the humor/cultural reference/wholesomeness of Earthbound makes it one of my top 5 of all time. Play it, for your own sake, sometime!
It inspired Pokémon, many Zelda games, Animal Crossing and Undertale (and the entire post FNAF good horror indie titles that don’t get movies) Earthbound should have had museums, collectible cards, many movies, an anime, and jets instead of Pokémon (yes Pokémon has commercial airlines). I like Pokémon but Earthbound should have had that success
In this video there were: - 7 The Legend of Zelda games - 6 Super Mario games - 3 Mario Kart games - 2 Luigi's Mansion games - 2 Metroid games - 2 Kirby games - 2 Animal Crossing games - 2 Wii Sports games - 2 Super Smash Bros. games as well as 1 game of each for Paper Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi's Island, Star Fox, Splatoon, Nintendo Land, and Tetris, and also Balloon Fight, given his personal best of the year!
@@M3tr0sTurn I do see a alot of people share the opinion that Red and Blue were the only ones that mattered, and that pair of games probably would've won had they not been squared up against what is often litterally referred to as the greatest game of all time.
I could’ve sworn DKC2 was gonna be the pick for 95’ :( Yoshis Island I would consider a “charming” game but DKC2 is just pure bliss and gives you crazy goosebumps the first play through
I love watching these sorts of videos. The choices themselves aren't as important as seeing what resonated with people over the years. Also interesting to see these lists when people younger (or older) than myself make them, because I think your age really changes how you approach Nintendo's library. Their decisions frustrate us at times, but I don't think any publisher has matched Nintendo's consistency when it comes to quality, particularly considering how many games they put out in a year.
The fact that Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver didn't even get a mention where they clearly should have won 2009 is the biggest outlier. And before you say it's a remake, he gave the title to f***ing Wii Sport Resort. Not to say resort isn't an amazing game but between it and the most universally acclaimed Pokémon game ...
Awesome video. I agreed w most of the pics, especially 1994, 2000, 2007, 2011, 2017, 2018, and 2019. The only two major ones I disagreed w were both 2006 and 2012. Being my favorite zelda game, as well as my second favorite game general, Twilight Princess personally blew all this games out of the water. And for 2012, being my favorite video game of all time, xejoblade chronicles would have easily been my pick. Great video tho
Glad somebody else commented on 2006 and 2012. I love Wii Sports and especially Nintendo Land, but Twilight Princess and Xenoblade Chronicles are so much deeper and richer titles, and are the two games I really credit with showing me that gaming can offer stories and worlds just as great as any other medium. The other choices I can mostly get behind, even if I personally think for example, that Mario Galaxy 2 is better than DKC Returns or that Mario Odyssey is better than BOTW.
Overall, your picks were understandable, and I appreciate the music choices for each year! As a huge Fire Emblem fan, I certainly hoped at least one person in your audience stood up for the underdogs like Path of Radiance and Three Houses, but I can also understand that RPGs are hit-or-miss, as you also didn't include any games from that genre. Still, kudos for picking Breath of the Wild, as that's my favorite video game at present! Hope the sequel impresses further!
I feel like picking Wii Sports over Twilight Princess and ESPECIALLY Nintendo Land over Xenoblade Chronicles shows a general preference towards more casual multiplayer experiences, so I'm not surprised Fire Emblem didn't win any of these.
What a fun idea for a video! Calling it just, “the best” stacks up your favorite experiences, with what was most influential, what sold the most, etc. You clearly put in the work… the amount of different footage you had to collect before even getting to the editing…hoo boy. And this video taught me a few things… I didn’t know there was a Wave Race game on the Game Boy. I followed a long, and made my own list. It is so hard because so many years have awesome games that came out, some with multiple of my favorites haha. By the time you hit the early 2000’s I was ready to give up. Hardest years to pick from were 1997, 2001 - 2004, 2017. Some years were a little different though, where I didn’t care for many, and it was process of elimination. 1985 - Super Mario Bros. 1986 - Balloon Fight 1987 - Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! 1988 - Super Mario Bros. 2 1989 - Tetris 1990 - Super Mario Bros. 3 1991 - Super Mario World 1992 - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 1993 - The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening 1994 - Super Metroid 1995 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island 1996 - Super Mario 64 1997 - Star Fox 64 1998 - Pokémon Red & Blue 1999 - Super Smash Bros. 2000 - Mario Party 2 2001 - Luigi’s Mansion 2002 - Super Mario Sunshine 2003 - Kirby Air Ride 2004 - Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door 2005 - Animal Crossing: Wild World 2006 - Wii Sports 2007 - Super Mario Galaxy 2008 - Wii Fit 2009 - Punch-Out!! 2010 - Kirby’s Epic Yarn 2011 - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword 2012 - Xenoblade Chronicles 2013 - Pikmin 3 2014 - Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze 2015 - Super Mario Maker 2016 - Paper Mario: Color Splash 2017 - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2018 - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 2019 - Luigi’s Mansion 3 2020 - Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2021 - Mario Party Superstars (hopefully… but probably Metroid Dread)
Wow, this was truly a great video! Personally, I would have included the Ace Attorney and Layton games as well, but of course that's just very subjective and your picks were really fitting! You honestly are underrated.
That guy really has home console biase, like the number of Pokémon titles not mentioned in this video is incredible. I my opinion, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver should have won 2009. By far the most consensual Pokémon game, and before anyone say it's a remake, Resort won the year. 2009 was just not a very eventful year and this game is arguably the peak of one of the greatest video game franchise of all times. As for Ace Attorney, I think the original beats Luigi's mansion in term of actual experience, but the fact that ace Attorney is a visual novel really doesn't play in its favour. Especially when it has to compete with innovative games like Pikmin and Luigi's mansion, or fan favourites like Melee and Golden sun. Also I don't know if it could count in this ranking as it's a capcom game, otherwise Street fighter 2 would have been mentioned. Same for Layton. Plus if we really need a level 5 game in here, Imazuma Eleven 2 was also released in 2009 and is in my opinion, on the same level as Wii sport resort and HGSS. And before you say "but I haven't heard of that game", you're American, if you were a kid in western Europe between 2008 and 2013 you probably knew Imazuma Eleven better than Zelda (not making that up, it was huge, it was often compared with Pokemon in playgrounds). Sadly it never got released in NA.
You had some hard choices to make. I think while your choices are not unquestionable since some years were just stacked with great releases, I respect every choice you made here.
I'm a Nintendo Fan since i was a little kid and your video brought me back so much memories. I like how you presented the years and i love your choice of music. I got chills by almost every track. Awesome video bro!
Die beste Zusammenstellung die ich je für eine Plattform gesehen habe und ich habe wirklich viel gesehen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Danke für die großartige Arbeit, man erkennt wie viel Liebe in das Video gesteckt wurde ❤. 😊
This was SUCH a cool video!! Incredible idea for video content, and superb execution! I really wish we could’ve seen a Pokémon game for one of the years, but it was still a wonderful video! ☺️
1985 - Super Mario Bros. 1986 - Balloon Fight 1987 - The Legend Of Zelda 1988 - Super Mario Bros. 2 1989 - Tetris 1990 - Super Mario Bros. 3 1991 - Super Mario World 1992 - The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past 1993 - Kirby's Adventure 1994 - Super Metroid 1995 - Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island 1996 - Super Mario 64 1997 - Star Fox 64 1998 - The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time 1999 - Super Smash Bros. 2000 - The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask 2001 - Luigi's Mansion 2002 - Metroid Prime 2003 - The Legend Of Zelda: The Wind Waker 2004 - Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door 2005 - Mario Kart DS 2006 - Wii Sports 2007 - Super Mario Galaxy 2008 - Mario Kart Wii 2009 - Wii Sports Resort 2010 - Donkey Kong Country Returns 2011 - The Legend Of Zelda: Skyward Sword 2012 - Nintendo Land 2013 - Animal Crossing: New Leaf 2014 - Mario Kart 8 2015 - Splatoon 2016 - Kirby: Planet Robobot 2017 - The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild 2018 - Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 2019 - Luigi's Mansion 3 2020 - Animal Crossing: New Horizons
@@DecidiousGreens This guy just made it go by a lot faster, I wanted to see if a Mother game got on the list but one didn’t, so now I won’t waste my time watching the video.
As someone who absolutely adores Super Star, it's hard-pressed to win that 1996 lineup. Definitely deserved a mention, though. Super Star Ultra may legit be the best Nintendo game of 2008, but I'm not sure if its remake status disqualifies it.
I would’ve put Galaxy 2 as my 2010 game. However, I’m glad to see Nintendo Land, New Leaf, and Luigi’s Mansion 3 acknowledged on their respective years. My 2021 game will probably be Mario Party Superstars.
Haven't finished the video yet, but it's honestly incredible how much of an improvement Mario 3 is from the original. Pushed the NES to it's limits, and it holds up incredibly well. I don't think anyone will argue that it's just as fun as modern 2D Mario games.
Really liking you’re content. So many you tubers and commentators are too afraid to state their real opinion on games even if it’s not the popular opinion.
I was with you pretty much all the way, then you take a massive poop on SSBM. Melee is one of THE MOST ICONIC titles to exist and remains that way to this day.
Holy crap you picked like a god! I think my favourite game for 2013 would be super Mario 3D world but that’s kinda unfair since it’s my favourite wii u game period. Origami king was fantastic too
I have a soft spot for the mid-'90s releases, and I think it's well-documented how many strong titles were coming out in the mid-'00s, but I never really thought about just how strong the turn of the century was for quality Nintendo releases that have held up.
Thank you for mentioning Endless Ocean. Many people don’t even know that this game exists. It’s one of my favorite, besides Go vacation, both incredible games!
The most contentious thing you put in this video wasn't a 'game of the year' that I disagree with or great game that you didn't put as 'game of the year'. It was putting Metroid: Other M as a possible contender alongside DKCR, Mario Galaxy 2, and Kirby's Epic Yarn. Imagine a chess tournament with Bobby Fischer, Garry Kasparov, and Steven Seagal. Thats equivalent to putting Other M alongside Nintendo Gold.
1985: Super Mario 1986: Balloon Fight 1987: Punch Out 1988: Mario 2 1989: Mario Land 1990: Dr. Mario 1991: Super Mario World 1992: Super Mario Land 2 1993: Kirby's Adventure 1994: Donkey Kong Country 1995: Earthbound 1996: Super Mario 64 1997: Goldeneye 1998: Pokemon Red and Blue 1999: Smash Bros 2000: Majora's Mask 2001: Pikmin 2002: Animal Crossing 2003: WarioWare Inc. 2004: Pikmin 2 2005: Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones 2006: Wii Sports 2007: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn 2008: Super Smash Bros Brawl 2009: Wii Sports Resort (would have been Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon if remakes were counted tbh) 2010: Kirby's Epic Yarn 2011: Pokemon: Black and White 2012: Kid Icarus: Uprising 2013: This one is the hardest year, because Pikmin 3, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Pokemon XY, and New Leaf are all some of my favorite games ever made. Tbh tho, I think I gotta choose Animal Crossing New Leaf. This is absolutely Nintendo's best year ever imo. 2014: Mario Kart 8, but it would have been ORAS if remakes were allowed. 2015: Splatoon 1 for sure. I absolutely GRINDED this game. 2016: Fire Emblem: Fates. It is the absolute lowest point in the series in story, but GOOD GOD the gameplay was literally strategy RPGs perfected. One of my favorite games ever. 2017: Breath of the Wild 2018: Smash Ultimate 2019: Fire Emblem: Three Houses 2020: Animal Crossing: New Horizons 2021: so far...WarioWare I guess? There was barely anything this year so far. as for why Zelda and Metroid barely appeared, they just are not my thing. The Fire Emblem bias is real tho.
Im personally offended and outraged at your choices. Thats was a great video man. Loved seeing the choices through the years and bring back some good ol' memories. Cheers.
personally Odyssey was the game of the year for me. Honestly, there was SO much about it that made it incredible. The visuals, the music, the storyline - it felt revolutionary in terms of Mario games, especially the switch between 2D and 3D platforming. When I finally got to play the game a couple of years after it released, it was the best experience of my life! Odyssey will always have a special place in my heart, what a fantastic game.
I would've prefer Galaxy 2 as my 2010 Game of the Year. No offense to Donkey Kong Country Returns. But the game does get pretty tedious and repetitive at the later halve due to annoying level design choices. Also how is Pokemin Black 2 & White 2 not part of 2012 Game of the Year. Even if it isn't the best, the game was an great sequel and an fantastic Pokemon game in general.
I know im late, but theres one particular game missing and its called Eternal Darkness Sanities Reqium. It released during the gamecube in 2004 I think. Its psychological horror game created by silicon knights and was published by Nintendo.
I loved this list! The only things I would have changed is for 2001, I would put Wario Land 4, and for 1998, I would put Banjo-Kazooie! Plus I would make two lists! One for Consoles, and one for Portables!
Nintendo land over xenoblade chronicles & Kid Icarus… it’s your list and you can do what you want but that decision is a crime against humanity that doesn’t earn my respect 🤨
This video is a great summary of how Nintendo games have changed in the past years. I really enjoyed some of the choices; except in 2017 when you chose the Legend of Zelda breath of the wild. I would have chosen Super Mario odyssey instead! But great video!
The fact that not one Pokémon game was in this list was criminal robbery. Not even mentioning Pokémon go in 2016 is straight murder. The summer of 2016 when Pokémon go dropped was the closest mankind has been to world peace and it wasn’t even a footnote.
great video idea, i am very suprized how many people you got to agree with you! i almost agree with the whole list!one game that you missed that might have gone in there is pokemon platnium, anyways thank you for the entertainment!
Decided to participate and make my own list (remember it's subjective and therefore my opinion - yours are probably different): 1985: Super Mario Bros 1986: Balloon Fight 1987: The Legend of Zelda 1988: Super Mario Bros 2 1989: Tetris 1990: Super Mario Bros 1991: Return of Samus 1992: A Link to the Past 1993: Link's Awakening 1994: Super Metroid 1995: Earthbound 1996: Super Mario 64 1997: Star Fox 64 1998: Ocarina of Time 1999: Super Smash Bros 2000: Majora's Mask 2001: Luigi's Mansion 2002: Super Mario Sunshine 2003: Wind Waker 2004: The Thousand Year Door 2005: Mario Party 7 2006: Twilight Princess 2007: Phantom Hourglass 2008: Mario Kart Wii 2009: Wii Sports Resort 2010: Mario Galaxy 2 2011: Skyward Sword 2012: Nintendoland 2013: A Link Between Worlds 2014: Mario Kart 8 2015: Splatoon 2016: Pokémon Sun & Moon 2017: Breath of the Wild 2018: Smash Ultimate 2019: Luigi's Mansion 3 2020: New Horizons 2021: Metroid Dread 2022: Splatoon 3 and I know 2023 is still going but I have a feeling Tears of the Kingdom wins my vote
This is a really good video and possibly an impossible task! There are so many games in each year that could have easy been chosen and some I would choose differently. But the point of your video is that it is your choice of which games are best. That being said where you haven't play some games if you went back and played them and re did this video, you might choose differently in some of the years. People getting upset over this is ridiculous! Video games are subjective to the individual playing them. Yes some might have greater universal acclaim that others but if a video game doesn't appeal to you, then you're not going to appreciate and enjoy it and have that same universal opinion, that's totally okay!!! I have so many games in my collection it's near impossible to choose a favourite as each game brings something different and there are so many different factor to what makes the best game in someones opinion. Great video enjoyed watching and appreciate your efforts and choices in making it!
@@PaulJeffries56. yeah same. To be fair most of the Pokémon games were released on fairly competitive years but Black and White definitely could have won their year. Crystal, Emerald and Platinum all had good chances too if he included third versions.
However much I loved Golden Eye at the time, the recent Switch release on Nintendo 64 Online has taught me that some memories are best left as that...... memories.
very good picks. Only ones I disagree with strongly are: 2001 you have to go with Melee or Paper Mario 2003 is doubledash, wind waker has too much cut content 2006 is twilight princess 2008 is brawl (mario kart wii is one of the worst mario karts imo) also i believe you didnt put the gamecube mario sprots games up for choice, which is a shame since they are mostly agreed on being the best iteration of their individual series.
Man this list is bonkers. This just goes to show how much Nintendo DOMINATES the gaming industry. I was saying my fav throughout the whole video, and from 98 onwards it was VER6 VERY tough to do. Props thanks
Great video. I grew up playing games on the Wii, DS, and 3DS. I also enjoy playing games on the Wii U, and Switch. I don’t know if it’s just me, but the N64 games, and GameCube games give me nostalgia even though I never grew up playing those games. Even though the Xbox 360 was my first game console, I always enjoy playing games on a Nintendo console.
Just my opinion haha. I absolutely adore Xenoblade, but Nintendo Land means a lot to me personally. You could definitely say that Xenoblade is probably objectively better tho lol
My first WTF choice was DKCR over Super Mario Galaxy 2, but I'd also like to share my choices. 1985: Super Mario Bros 1986: Mach Rider 1987: Legend of Zelda 1988: Super Mario Bros 2 1989: Super Mario Land 1990: Super Mario Bros 3 1991: Super Mario World 1992: Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past 1993: Kirby's Adventure 1994: Super Metroid 1995: Earthbound 1996: Super Mario 64 1997: Goldeneye 007 1998: Pokémon Red & Blue (my favorite is actually Yellow) 1999: Super Smash Bros 2000: Pokémon Gold & Silver 2001: Super Smash Bros Melee 2002: Super Mario Sunshine 2003: Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga 2004: Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door 2005: Donkey Kong Jungle Beat 2006: Wii Sports 2007: Super Mario Galaxy 2008: Mario Kart Wii (Wii Fit was a very close second) 2009: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story 2010: Super Mario Galaxy 2 2011: Super Mario 3D Land 2012: New Super Mario Bros 2 2013: It's a 3-way tie between Animal Crossing New Leaf, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team & Pokémon X & Y. I can't choose 1, haha 2014: Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze 2015: Super Mario Maker 2016: Pokémon Sun & Moon 2017: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (with Super Mario Odyssey as a VERY close second) 2018: Super Smash Bros Ultimate 2019: Super Mario Maker 2 2020: Animal Crossing New Horizons Also, my choices for 2021: Metroid Dread 2022: Pokémon Legends: Arceus 2023 (So far): Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
All very valid and understandable picks - I agree on most years but notably, I’d have Pokémon Black and White 2 (2012, you didn’t mention it presumably for the same reason you didn’t mention Emerald or Platinum - but that’s a misconception), Pokémon Sun and Moon and Fire Emblems Three Houses. It may have been my instinct to go with Twilight Princess in 2006 but Wii Sports really does have that iconic presents
Dang, 2013 had way too many good games for just one year. My favorites were definitely New Leaf, Dark Moon, and Dream Team. Dream Team in particular is what gets me the most. I don't understand how people just seem to forget about it. I haven't played much of any other AlphaDream Mario & Luigi game, but I thought Dream Team was one of the best Mario games ever. It had a great, long story, and I enjoyed everything about it even though it's actually a pretty difficult game. Is it just that every other Mario & Luigi game is better? If that's the case, then that just blows my mind.
One thing that is often overlooked for Zelda is that it's arguably the first "console game" and not only an arcade game at home or an arcade inspired game. It's litteraly a game that couldn't be in arcades and uses the full potential of the console at the time.
Okay a lot of people seem to be upset over my picks, so I'm sorry that my personal opinions don't seem to line up with most others. I know I accidentally left out a few games here and there, and didn't end up picking any Pokemon or Fire Emblem games. But this video is just supposed to be for fun, and I'm well aware of how strange some of my decisions were. Just try not to take this too seriously. Thanks!
And just for the record: current me would change 1995 to DKC 2, 2001 to Smash Melee, 2006 to Twilight Princess, and 2012 to Xenoblade. Opinions change :) Plus 2021 would be Metroid Dread, and 2022 would be Kirby and the Forgotten Land
People making top 10 or "best of year" lists need to stop apologizing over their personal picks.
Your opinion doesn't have to align with internet consensus. It would be boring if it did.
Your opinions are different and interesting 😊
I were just surprised that you pick Nintendo Land over Xenoblade Chronicles. The rest were just obvious! 🙂
Thank you for picking Nintendo land and wii sports resort. I was hoping you’d pick miitopia but I forgot it came out in 2017
Different opinions make for a more enjoyable list! Don't worry about it

Yeah whatever

One of the overall best things about all the videos on this channel is that they finally make me feel like I'm not the only person who actually enjoys using motion controls, since it seems like everyone universally agreed to hate on them for no real reason
@UA-cam Userman Let's buy a VR googles :D Maybe it's silly, but sometimes when I play Beat Saber on my oculus I feel like it was 2007 and I was playing Wii Sports, good time
Found this interesting to watch especially as your choices differ to mine drastically. Was surprised Pokémon didn't get as much acclaim.
Yeah and games that came later in each generation weren't mentioned, even though they have more content and fix issues from the previous games
Yea pokemon emerald not even getting mentioned just confirmed that he just isnt a pokemon player which is fine just kinda sus.
@@cowpiefa11y nah bro he said skyward sword over black and white that's the real fuck up
I think heartgold and soulsilver were the biggest offenders. It's competition is litterally Wii sport resort lmao. I'd understand that most generations up to 2016 are quite similar and up to personal preferences, but HGSS is probably the only game that gets universal acclaim and consistent top spots on community tier lists. I totally understand that red and blue shouldn't win over ocarina of time (even if it should really compete against Mario 64 for the 1996 release, and it's definitely better than Mario 64) but I think at least one Pokémon game deserves a win, and HGSS is just the most consensual one and arguably the peak of the franchise, as well as not having a lot of competition.
@@artimist0315 he specifically said no remakes or remasters
Highly recommend playing Earthbound! I loved Yoshi’s Island as well, but the humor/cultural reference/wholesomeness of Earthbound makes it one of my top 5 of all time. Play it, for your own sake, sometime!
RAAGHGGGHH I LOVE EARTHBOUND
It inspired Pokémon, many Zelda games, Animal Crossing and Undertale (and the entire post FNAF good horror indie titles that don’t get movies) Earthbound should have had museums, collectible cards, many movies, an anime, and jets instead of Pokémon (yes Pokémon has commercial airlines). I like Pokémon but Earthbound should have had that success
Loved earthbound but yoshi’s island is a top 10 game for me and my favourite 2d Mario game

It was I had to think what he was gonna say first when 2000s came.
Yes
Facts
It was a great decade for nintendo
This is such an amazing video! I can't imagine how long it would've taken to write, record and edit
This was such a cozy (and at the same time informational) video. Thank you!
Besides your choices it is nostalgic and fun to go through our own memories of these games with you :) : Great job 👍
In this video there were:
- 7 The Legend of Zelda games
- 6 Super Mario games
- 3 Mario Kart games
- 2 Luigi's Mansion games
- 2 Metroid games
- 2 Kirby games
- 2 Animal Crossing games
- 2 Wii Sports games
- 2 Super Smash Bros. games
as well as 1 game of each for Paper Mario, Donkey Kong, Yoshi's Island, Star Fox, Splatoon, Nintendo Land, and Tetris, and also Balloon Fight, given his personal best of the year!
Can’t believe there were no pokemon games
@@M3tr0sTurn I do see a alot of people share the opinion that Red and Blue were the only ones that mattered, and that pair of games probably would've won had they not been squared up against what is often litterally referred to as the greatest game of all time.
@@YellowpowRearthbound is on par for similar reasons, a shame he didn’t play it
@@PorkyMinch Something tells me you're an Earthbound fan, but I can't put my finger on what...
I could’ve sworn DKC2 was gonna be the pick for 95’ :( Yoshis Island I would consider a “charming” game but DKC2 is just pure bliss and gives you crazy goosebumps the first play through
I love watching these sorts of videos. The choices themselves aren't as important as seeing what resonated with people over the years. Also interesting to see these lists when people younger (or older) than myself make them, because I think your age really changes how you approach Nintendo's library.
Their decisions frustrate us at times, but I don't think any publisher has matched Nintendo's consistency when it comes to quality, particularly considering how many games they put out in a year.
For me for 2005 is Mario Superstar Baseball, and it's criminal that you didn't even put it in 2005's list.
The fact that Pokémon Heart Gold and Soul Silver didn't even get a mention where they clearly should have won 2009 is the biggest outlier.
And before you say it's a remake, he gave the title to f***ing Wii Sport Resort. Not to say resort isn't an amazing game but between it and the most universally acclaimed Pokémon game ...
Awesome video. I agreed w most of the pics, especially 1994, 2000, 2007, 2011, 2017, 2018, and 2019. The only two major ones I disagreed w were both 2006 and 2012. Being my favorite zelda game, as well as my second favorite game general, Twilight Princess personally blew all this games out of the water. And for 2012, being my favorite video game of all time, xejoblade chronicles would have easily been my pick. Great video tho
2010: I felt it was MARIO GALAXY 2
2013: SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD
Twilight Princess is an amazing game. I still remember playing it with my mom when I was young.
Glad somebody else commented on 2006 and 2012. I love Wii Sports and especially Nintendo Land, but Twilight Princess and Xenoblade Chronicles are so much deeper and richer titles, and are the two games I really credit with showing me that gaming can offer stories and worlds just as great as any other medium. The other choices I can mostly get behind, even if I personally think for example, that Mario Galaxy 2 is better than DKC Returns or that Mario Odyssey is better than BOTW.
2007 was a really hard year to chose from with so many great titles, it would take me a month to decide what my favorite was
Overall, your picks were understandable, and I appreciate the music choices for each year! As a huge Fire Emblem fan, I certainly hoped at least one person in your audience stood up for the underdogs like Path of Radiance and Three Houses, but I can also understand that RPGs are hit-or-miss, as you also didn't include any games from that genre. Still, kudos for picking Breath of the Wild, as that's my favorite video game at present! Hope the sequel impresses further!
I feel like picking Wii Sports over Twilight Princess and ESPECIALLY Nintendo Land over Xenoblade Chronicles shows a general preference towards more casual multiplayer experiences, so I'm not surprised Fire Emblem didn't win any of these.
I’m sad binding blade didn’t win cause it’s imo the best fire emblem game and I played it so much
Botw wasn’t the best one, certainly a banger but the earlier Zelda games were better
what else would he chose aside from BotW lmao, literally the most expected one tbh
@@highdefinition450 Odyssey was better in my opinion
What a fun idea for a video! Calling it just, “the best” stacks up your favorite experiences, with what was most influential, what sold the most, etc. You clearly put in the work… the amount of different footage you had to collect before even getting to the editing…hoo boy. And this video taught me a few things… I didn’t know there was a Wave Race game on the Game Boy.
I followed a long, and made my own list. It is so hard because so many years have awesome games that came out, some with multiple of my favorites haha. By the time you hit the early 2000’s I was ready to give up. Hardest years to pick from were 1997, 2001 - 2004, 2017. Some years were a little different though, where I didn’t care for many, and it was process of elimination.

Kirby over Galaxy 2? Madness.
@@TheAlibabatree No, opinions
hey, now that we’re in 2022, what’s your 2021 pick?
Yo colour splash should not be on any best games list
Wow, this was truly a great video! Personally, I would have included the Ace Attorney and Layton games as well, but of course that's just very subjective and your picks were really fitting! You honestly are underrated.
That guy really has home console biase, like the number of Pokémon titles not mentioned in this video is incredible.
I my opinion, Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver should have won 2009. By far the most consensual Pokémon game, and before anyone say it's a remake, Resort won the year. 2009 was just not a very eventful year and this game is arguably the peak of one of the greatest video game franchise of all times. As for Ace Attorney, I think the original beats Luigi's mansion in term of actual experience, but the fact that ace Attorney is a visual novel really doesn't play in its favour. Especially when it has to compete with innovative games like Pikmin and Luigi's mansion, or fan favourites like Melee and Golden sun. Also I don't know if it could count in this ranking as it's a capcom game, otherwise Street fighter 2 would have been mentioned. Same for Layton. Plus if we really need a level 5 game in here, Imazuma Eleven 2 was also released in 2009 and is in my opinion, on the same level as Wii sport resort and HGSS. And before you say "but I haven't heard of that game", you're American, if you were a kid in western Europe between 2008 and 2013 you probably knew Imazuma Eleven better than Zelda (not making that up, it was huge, it was often compared with Pokemon in playgrounds).
Sadly it never got released in NA.
2007-2012 was so nostalgic for me, that’s where my interest peaked for video games as a kid
Me too
You had some hard choices to make. I think while your choices are not unquestionable since some years were just stacked with great releases, I respect every choice you made here.
Watching this gives me a lot of context for the subtle references shown in some games! Keep up that amazing work!
I'm a Nintendo Fan since i was a little kid and your video brought me back so much memories. I like how you presented the years and i love your choice of music. I got chills by almost every track. Awesome video bro!
Die beste Zusammenstellung die ich je für eine Plattform gesehen habe und ich habe wirklich viel gesehen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.
Danke für die großartige Arbeit, man erkennt wie viel Liebe in das Video gesteckt wurde ❤.

A million thanks :-)
what, you guys can't watch videos?
@@DecidiousGreens This guy just made it go by a lot faster, I wanted to see if a Mother game got on the list but one didn’t, so now I won’t waste my time watching the video.
Great list! All though I would pick games like Mario Maker, Galaxy 2, and Odyssey, I thoroughly enjoyed your rankings!
Zelda’s open world and customization is off the wall crazy so imma be fr botw > odyssey. But odyssey is really good too
Yeah Odyssey was a much more fun game for me than BotW
Your vids make me so happy the first one I saw was wuhu island and it almost made me cry cause my child hood 🥲 love your vids you deserve more subs
I didn’t see Kirby Super Star (or Kirby super star ultra) which was a bit surprising as I absolutely loved those games
As someone who absolutely adores Super Star, it's hard-pressed to win that 1996 lineup. Definitely deserved a mention, though. Super Star Ultra may legit be the best Nintendo game of 2008, but I'm not sure if its remake status disqualifies it.
I would’ve put Galaxy 2 as my 2010 game. However, I’m glad to see Nintendo Land, New Leaf, and Luigi’s Mansion 3 acknowledged on their respective years. My 2021 game will probably be Mario Party Superstars.
Same
Haven't finished the video yet, but it's honestly incredible how much of an improvement Mario 3 is from the original. Pushed the NES to it's limits, and it holds up incredibly well. I don't think anyone will argue that it's just as fun as modern 2D Mario games.
One of the Best videos on the whole of UA-cam
2010 not being Galaxy 2 is wild 💀
Really liking you’re content. So many you tubers and commentators are too afraid to state their real opinion on games even if it’s not the popular opinion.
Yeah. Everyone has different opinions.
The music throughout this is fantastic. Great video. Loved it.
I admire all the work you put into this and I really enjoy the editing/format, but god damn, 90% of these were misses omg ☠️
Sunshine got robbed
If galaxy is on this list its a certified hood classic.
I agreed with a lot of the picks. Great video!
I was with you pretty much all the way, then you take a massive poop on SSBM. Melee is one of THE MOST ICONIC titles to exist and remains that way to this day.
Holy crap you picked like a god! I think my favourite game for 2013 would be super Mario 3D world but that’s kinda unfair since it’s my favourite wii u game period. Origami king was fantastic too
it's not unfair at all. it's simply your opinion, don't be ashamed of it.
@@jclkaytwo this guys fan base is so chill too every comment section I’ve seen here has been awesome :) thanks
@@RadicalJawzFunnyMoments thanks for the kind words! I love 3d world too. it's generally considered one of the best wii u games overall.
@@jclkaytwo yeah bowsers fury was a great edition if you didn’t get to try it yet I would recommend it!
@@RadicalJawzFunnyMoments I don't have bowser's fury yet. but it's near the top of my wishlist.
I have a soft spot for the mid-'90s releases, and I think it's well-documented how many strong titles were coming out in the mid-'00s, but I never really thought about just how strong the turn of the century was for quality Nintendo releases that have held up.
Those early 00s games man, fantastic time to be a Nintendo fan
We need wii sports resort nostalgia rewind
I'll definitely make that at some point, hopefully before the end of this year!
Thank you! That would be a hit!
Thanks for the upload. Your videos are always of top quality
Thank you for mentioning Endless Ocean. Many people don’t even know that this game exists. It’s one of my favorite, besides Go vacation, both incredible games!
An ambitious video and you nailed it 😎 !
The most contentious thing you put in this video wasn't a 'game of the year' that I disagree with or great game that you didn't put as 'game of the year'. It was putting Metroid: Other M as a possible contender alongside DKCR, Mario Galaxy 2, and Kirby's Epic Yarn. Imagine a chess tournament with Bobby Fischer, Garry Kasparov, and Steven Seagal. Thats equivalent to putting Other M alongside Nintendo Gold.
1985: Super Mario
1986: Balloon Fight
1987: Punch Out
1988: Mario 2

2005: Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones
2006: Wii Sports
2007: Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn
2008: Super Smash Bros Brawl
2009: Wii Sports Resort (would have been Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon if remakes were counted tbh)
2010: Kirby's Epic Yarn
2011: Pokemon: Black and White
2012: Kid Icarus: Uprising
2013: This one is the hardest year, because Pikmin 3, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Pokemon XY, and New Leaf are all some of my favorite games ever made. Tbh tho, I think I gotta choose Animal Crossing New Leaf. This is absolutely Nintendo's best year ever imo.
2014: Mario Kart 8, but it would have been ORAS if remakes were allowed.
2015: Splatoon 1 for sure. I absolutely GRINDED this game.
2016: Fire Emblem: Fates. It is the absolute lowest point in the series in story, but GOOD GOD the gameplay was literally strategy RPGs perfected. One of my favorite games ever.
2017: Breath of the Wild
2018: Smash Ultimate
2019: Fire Emblem: Three Houses
2020: Animal Crossing: New Horizons
2021: so far...WarioWare I guess? There was barely anything this year so far.
as for why Zelda and Metroid barely appeared, they just are not my thing. The Fire Emblem bias is real tho.
Im personally offended and outraged at your choices. Thats was a great video man. Loved seeing the choices through the years and bring back some good ol' memories. Cheers.
What an amazing and entertaining list, midsing some Fire Emblem or early Pokemon but this is really good
“Overall Kirby wins this one because I refuse to pick a Pokémon game”
Pokémon Heartgold and Soulsilver didn't even get a mention ? Really ?
Loved the video. Great choices. Can'tbelieve Chronotrigger didnt get a mention.
Great Video! Keep up the good work!
Such a great video hero! Ur such an underrated channel
Underrated channel, these videos will stand the test of time.
personally Odyssey was the game of the year for me. Honestly, there was SO much about it that made it incredible. The visuals, the music, the storyline - it felt revolutionary in terms of Mario games, especially the switch between 2D and 3D platforming. When I finally got to play the game a couple of years after it released, it was the best experience of my life! Odyssey will always have a special place in my heart, what a fantastic game.
agreed completely
When I played oddesey, I quit because i got stuck on the night toastarena. Came back
I mean, it is second in most played tho sooooo
BOTW beats it but it was definitely second.
While I would go with BotW, Odyssey is one of the best Mario games of all time and it certainly deserves major mention of the best game of that year.
love your videos! keep up the great work
I would've prefer Galaxy 2 as my 2010 Game of the Year. No offense to Donkey Kong Country Returns. But the game does get pretty tedious and repetitive at the later halve due to annoying level design choices.
Also how is Pokemin Black 2 & White 2 not part of 2012 Game of the Year. Even if it isn't the best, the game was an great sequel and an fantastic Pokemon game in general.
Why the hell does the most popular media franchise in the world have 0 picks on the list!
Star Wars?
because pokemon games are trash and repetitive
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t have to be just game mechanics but also character design
Wii u was very underrated its a shame that many people didn't know about it
My picks for 2003, 2005, 2009, 2013, 2016, 2017, 2019 are the mario & luigi games of these years
I agree that this amazing series should've been mentioned. but 2017 and 2019 aren't valid, as remakes aren't allowed.
@@jclkaytwo Well then Botw is my 2017 pick and Luigi's Mansion 3 for 2019
I know im late, but theres one particular game missing and its called Eternal Darkness Sanities Reqium. It released during the gamecube in 2004 I think.
Its psychological horror game created by silicon knights and was published by Nintendo.
I loved this list! The only things I would have changed is for 2001, I would put Wario Land 4, and for 1998, I would put Banjo-Kazooie! Plus I would make two lists! One for Consoles, and one for Portables!
Yoshi's island vs donkey Kong country 2 is a very hard choice
For 2021 I choose Metroid Dread. Such an awesome game, and it converted me to a Metroid fan single handedly
That game sucks it’s not even a real Nintendo game it’s made by some Ubisoft reject studio in Spain
@Voice of Reason you got issues man
@@neilbeaton9498 He's right though lol Mercury Steam sucks idc how successful it was they shouldn't make Castlevania or Metroid ever again.
@@namelessanomaly3946 I don't know what Mercury steam is... But Metroid Dread is an awesome game
@@neilbeaton9498 They're the company that made Metroid Samus Returns and Dread for Nintendo.
Nintendo land over xenoblade chronicles & Kid Icarus… it’s your list and you can do what you want but that decision is a crime against humanity that doesn’t earn my respect 🤨
Facts Xenoblade chronicles is way better than a stupid Nintendo land game on the wii u
This video is a great summary of how Nintendo games have changed in the past years. I really enjoyed some of the choices; except in 2017 when you chose the Legend of Zelda breath of the wild. I would have chosen Super Mario odyssey instead! But great video!
Really enjoyed this video, great editing and I think I agreed with every single one of your picks, looking forward to seeing more videos from you!
NH is a legend. Change my mind
The fact that not one Pokémon game was in this list was criminal robbery. Not even mentioning Pokémon go in 2016 is straight murder. The summer of 2016 when Pokémon go dropped was the closest mankind has been to world peace and it wasn’t even a footnote.
Was cool with this list until I saw Luigi’s Mansion over melee lol
Best Nintendo related video I’ve seen in years, keep it up !
metroid dread has been out for only a few days and it's already my pick for 2021
Keep up the great work bud!
great video idea, i am very suprized how many people you got to agree with you! i almost agree with the whole list!one game that you missed that might have gone in there is pokemon platnium, anyways thank you for the entertainment!
Super video ! You re doing awesome !
Twilight Princess getting beaten by Wii Sports is a crime 😢
Over-the-internet fist bump for Super Mario Galaxy being your favorite 3D Mario!
This is insane bro, 2022 in my opinion is BOTW2 and Byonetta3 ❤️

Ur vids are awesome
This is a really good video and possibly an impossible task! There are so many games in each year that could have easy been chosen and some I would choose differently. But the point of your video is that it is your choice of which games are best. That being said where you haven't play some games if you went back and played them and re did this video, you might choose differently in some of the years. People getting upset over this is ridiculous! Video games are subjective to the individual playing them. Yes some might have greater universal acclaim that others but if a video game doesn't appeal to you, then you're not going to appreciate and enjoy it and have that same universal opinion, that's totally okay!!! I have so many games in my collection it's near impossible to choose a favourite as each game brings something different and there are so many different factor to what makes the best game in someones opinion. Great video enjoyed watching and appreciate your efforts and choices in making it!
My guy, you can’t just throw Stickerbrush Symphony at me out of nowhere. I made an audible noise when it started, I’m in public.
I think this video finally helped me track down an nes game from my childhood that I could never find but I had some memory of. Thank you so much
No way you actually picked Nintendo Land over Xenoblade...
I'm also surprised but I'm also surprised pokemon wasn't choosen once
@@PaulJeffries56. yeah same. To be fair most of the Pokémon games were released on fairly competitive years but Black and White definitely could have won their year. Crystal, Emerald and Platinum all had good chances too if he included third versions.
However much I loved Golden Eye at the time, the recent Switch release on Nintendo 64 Online has taught me that some memories are best left as that...... memories.
very good picks. Only ones I disagree with strongly are:
2001 you have to go with Melee or Paper Mario
2003 is doubledash, wind waker has too much cut content
2006 is twilight princess
2008 is brawl (mario kart wii is one of the worst mario karts imo)
also i believe you didnt put the gamecube mario sprots games up for choice, which is a shame since they are mostly agreed on being the best iteration of their individual series.
Man this list is bonkers. This just goes to show how much Nintendo DOMINATES the gaming industry. I was saying my fav throughout the whole video, and from 98 onwards it was VER6 VERY tough to do. Props thanks
I personally think ocarina is overrated but you do you Nintendo hero
Its one of the most influential games of all time
@@TheAlibabatree yes I do know that but I think the og n64 version has some really bad problems(in my opinion) but it's cool
@@Wiiman365 I completely agree. Im just saying, he explained that he factored in critical reception and impact when making this list.
Great video. I grew up playing games on the Wii, DS, and 3DS. I also enjoy playing games on the Wii U, and Switch. I don’t know if it’s just me, but the N64 games, and GameCube games give me nostalgia even though I never grew up playing those games. Even though the Xbox 360 was my first game console, I always enjoy playing games on a Nintendo console.
My jaw dropped when you chose Nintendo Land over Xenoblade, what on earth. Insane
Just my opinion haha. I absolutely adore Xenoblade, but Nintendo Land means a lot to me personally. You could definitely say that Xenoblade is probably objectively better tho lol
@@NintendoHero it's all understandable, Nintendo land is great! I was just not expecting it at all

2019: Super Mario Maker 2
2020: Animal Crossing New Horizons
Also, my choices for
2021: Metroid Dread
2022: Pokémon Legends: Arceus
2023 (So far): Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
Smh the Pokemon disrespect is so tough. B&W should've won over skyward sword at the very least
All very valid and understandable picks - I agree on most years but notably, I’d have Pokémon Black and White 2 (2012, you didn’t mention it presumably for the same reason you didn’t mention Emerald or Platinum - but that’s a misconception), Pokémon Sun and Moon and Fire Emblems Three Houses. It may have been my instinct to go with Twilight Princess in 2006 but Wii Sports really does have that iconic presents
Dang, 2013 had way too many good games for just one year. My favorites were definitely New Leaf, Dark Moon, and Dream Team. Dream Team in particular is what gets me the most.
I don't understand how people just seem to forget about it. I haven't played much of any other AlphaDream Mario & Luigi game, but I thought Dream Team was one of the best Mario games ever. It had a great, long story, and I enjoyed everything about it even though it's actually a pretty difficult game. Is it just that every other Mario & Luigi game is better? If that's the case, then that just blows my mind.
One thing that is often overlooked for Zelda is that it's arguably the first "console game" and not only an arcade game at home or an arcade inspired game. It's litteraly a game that couldn't be in arcades and uses the full potential of the console at the time.
2017 was a banger
Breath of the Wild
Miitopia
Mario Oddesey
Splatoon 2
Also mario rabbids, arms, and metroid samus returns
A big Zelda fan for sure. Great list tho. You have opened up the door for lots of future Nintendo fans with this
