Our favourites on Nintendo systems

[Generosity of God]

hi everyone

i've been a little bored

so after reading IGNs top 25 lists i got to thinking what games i liked on each system. and i thought i'd share them with you all.

now the difference between my lists and those like IGN have, is that mine arent really about which are the best games but which games i enjoyed most.

hence that is why the thread title mentions favourites rather than Top #.

so here are my favourite 10 games for each Nintendo system.

NOTES:
- GB/GBPocket/GBColor list will be completed once i remember what damn games i played all those years ago
- Wii and DS list will change as i play more good games
- lists for classic consoles may change if i suddenly remember a game i liked more than one on the list
- there is no Virtual Boy list as i had no chance to enjoy those migraine stimulating games
- if some really good games arent on my list it may mean that i never had the chance to play it (ie LoZ: ALttP) or i for some reason forgot about it.
- if i end up remembering too many games i liked then i may make the lists into favourite 15/20/25. depends how many i remember.

well thats all. my taste in games certainly have morphed over the ages. post your lists. i'd like to see how your tastes compare to mine and how much your tastes have changed over each generation.

Maybe I should said sexist?

[Generosity of God]

Maybe I should said sexist?

"a disgrace" would be sufficient. not sexist as i have Samus in more than half my lists.

also i'd like to request that a moderator create links to this thread in the other Nintendo boards. just to get a bit more traffic into here and the General Nintendo board.

[Gookanheimer]

Wow, you really were bored. I could never create a list like that. Or at least, not an ordered one. I'm hopeless at choosing favourites.

[Generosity of God]

Wow, you really were bored. I could never create a list like that. Or at least, not an ordered one. I'm hopeless at choosing favourites.

yeah i was bored but that didnt make ordering favourites any easier. it just gave me a reason to try.

but i finally finished ordering them. feels good. yet a couple of the lists looks strange like they are missing a game that should be in there somewhere but i cant remember what game. plus i have to complete the list for the old GB.

good to see others posting lists of sorts. reminds me of games i had missed out on that could have made my lists if i had just played them.

*killer7 is the only multi-platform game on the list. However, the PS2 version sucked.**
**I take that back. I think Solar Jetman came out on Amiga or something.

[Generosity of God]

so i've updated two of my lists. the GBA list has made a little reshuffle after adding in Bomberman Tournament.

and Metal Gear Solid: Ghost Babel has made it into the GB/GBPocket/GBColor list. and only now do i realise the they used Ghost Babel because it shortens to GB. wow. so slow. hopefully i dont miss these kinds of things in the future.
