F*&# that list. People are insane.

As for OOT being the best game of all time. F*&# that sh!t too. Mario will always top that spot. No other game is so highly loved by everyone you talk to. OOT has a few people here and there that didn't like it as much as most people do, but Mario...especially the ORIGINAL Mario has never had a single complaint. A legion of fans were formed off of this one game.

Hell, I can still waste a night playing through all the levels again.

It seems to win the general consensus.

...Of course this will all change when Zelda:TP comes out

Or so we hope...but sales may be divided between GameCube and Wii versions. They may have to count their sales together, despite being on different consoles. Most of the time people seem to count combined sales for each generation of Pokémon and the various versions of Nintendogs, but at least those are on the same system... EDIT: I wonder if anyone combines sales of Pokémon: Mystery Dungeon?

But yeah, Nintendo's said that Twilight Princess will be better than Ocarina Of Time a few times already. Ocarina Of Time may not be my favourite game (I think I like A Link To The Past better) but it'll certainly be a feat that I welcome its attempt, and if it gets as much recognition as Ocarina Of Time or more... o_0

Again, Nintendo-haters are dumb.

This is 100% true. The original Super Mario Bros is the only game that I have ever been entranced by - I have yet to get the feeling I did while playing it in any other game since. That game started it all, and will probably never be dethroned as my favourite game. Mario 64 came close to evoking the same emotion, but even that game couldn't..

In fact, all the Mario games (save SMB2) are among my top 10. Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World and Super Mario 64 are just amazing, and every one of them is better than Ocarina of Time. Though OoT is my favourite Zelda ever, followed by A Link to the Past..

Jon is a smart man, his favorite Zelda game is Link to the Past which is my 2nd favorite game of all time behind SMB3

Heh, I think he loves that game as well - as he so aptly put it once, everything remotely associated with Super Mario Bros 3 deserves an automatic perfect score*

Pssh.. how old were you when Mario was in his 2D prime?

Best game ever is Super Mario World, I don't care what you say.

The rest of my list isn't really in any order, but it goes something like this:
- Ocarina of Time
- Super Mario Brothers
- Link's Awakening
- Super Metroid
- Metroid Prime
- Super Smash Brothers Melee
- Mario Kart 64 (or super circuit, can't decide)
- other stuff, mostly if not all nintendo

Smoke39 · « **Reply #32 on:** October 24, 2006, 07:18:13 PM »

You're all wrong. Deus Ex is the best game ever.

mainly because they're essentially the same game, released on the same system

Wait, who said that?

Wouldn't surprise anyone that the first maps on VGMaps.com were my Link To The Past's Light World maps and the first "Atlas Project" was Super Mario Bros. 3.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #35 on:** October 25, 2006, 08:21:31 AM »

Deus Ex is definitely in the 10 ten best games ever. I need to make a list of my top 25 favorite games sometime....

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #36 on:** October 25, 2006, 08:57:48 AM »

Interesting. I always thought that the 100 greatest games list should be done top ten overall games, and then top five or ten of the best in each category of games. Then you get a better understanding of the best games ever.

Personally the best 2D platformer or really any platformer game ever created is:

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island It is brilliant and is only close to being beat by Mario World. Super Mario Brothers 3 is good, but the levels are too short and although varied often times do not feel complete.

As for the greatest Zelda game created, I still place that to Link of the Past, which is so easy to pick up and play I have beaten the game 5-6 times loving the game each time I played.

What I really loved about this list was going through and checking how many Nintendo games are actually in the top 100. It is incredible. They have one of the best track records of any developers.

Smoke39 · « **Reply #37 on:** October 25, 2006, 09:37:54 AM »

I've never been able to really get into LttP. As far as 2D Zelda games go, I like Link's Awakening better. To me, the gameplay feels smoother, and the world is more appealing.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #38 on:** October 25, 2006, 09:54:40 AM »

Just ran the numbers.

2006 Reader Top 100 games of all time: 31% of the games are published by Nintendo.

That is a huge number of games. However, that is also gaming fanboys that will vote for most popular games and not the best.

So lets look at the Editors picks:

2005 IGN Editors Picks for Top 100 Games of all time 19% are published by Nintendo.

Both of those numbers are really staggering, and I believe the Editors picks stat is even more amazing, because they were pulling out some crazy obscure games.

Wait, who said that?

Unless I'm mistaken, you did a while back.. could have been someone else though.

JonLeung · « **Reply #40 on:** October 25, 2006, 11:00:35 AM »

I think I could have said something similar. I don't think I said "perfect score" but otherwise it kind of sounds like something I might have said at one point...good memory!

Luigi Dude · « **Reply #41 on:** October 25, 2006, 03:44:05 PM »

The greatest game of all time is Super Smash Bros Brawl. It's greatness has already transended time and space which is why I can say this right now, a year before it's even released.

QFT...easily.

From what I've played, I wouldn't call it the greatest. It's good, definetly. A hair better than Melee, even. But Sonic really unbalances the whole game.

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #44 on:** October 26, 2006, 04:27:22 AM »

So does the Godzilla Boss. I thought they went too far licensing with Toho for boss battles in Brawl.
