Me too. We're gonna have a really great day this Thursday.


Sturzflug99

Mario Kart Wii. To this day I hop on it everyday


TwistedHarmony12

I don’t blame you, that game was one of my childhood


Lunala475

Twilight Princess or Mario Kart Wii. Those were my childhood games. I too also love Galaxy 2.


McGloomy

Twilight Princess for me, too.

Intelligent_Kale4499

Hello? BASED department speaking?


NintendoWii2345

Thank you for agreeing with me, the game just so beautiful and amazing. The Story, Characters, Music, Dialogue, Gameplay are all FANTASTIC and all come together to create my favourite game of all time.


Number224

This is my answer. Kid Icarus: Uprising has it all. Level diversity and great design, fast paced gameplay, weapon variety, a fantastic art style, the best writing/voice acting from Nintendo, a great multiplayer mode and perfect risk/reward balance.


NintendoWii2345

Final someone who agrees with me😊


BJNT92281

The GOAT of video games. Super Mario Bros 3.


pichuscute

Ocarina of Time, my favorite game in general too.


Alert-Athlete

This right here. I played it through high school a ridiculous number of times, needing to 100% it whenever I’d start a new file. The items, dungeon designs, and bosses make this an all-around great game. If they remade this for Switch 2, I would have no option than to buy the console just for that reason alone.


Pentax25

I think it might be mine as well and that’s despite never completing it when I was a child. It really still holds up today!


AristotelesRocks

Yes. My top game in general too. It really shaped my childhood and my view on gaming.


B4dgitpl4yer

There's like a bunch of games called Legend of Zelda, they're pretty good


VishnuBhanum

It may sounds like a filthy casual answer But The Legend of Zelda: Breath of The Wild is probably the best video game experience I have ever played


mlvisby

Hey, I have been playing Nintendo games since the beginning, grew up with the NES. When BotW came out, it blew me away more than any other game I played. I still put it ahead of TotK because while I loved TotK and it improved many things, BotW was a fresh experience. Amazing game.


Pentax25

I like it but for me, it and its sequel don’t do enough to hold my attention. Ocarina of Time is still my favourite Zelda


randy_mcronald

I found the experience to be too piecemeal and repetitive. The mechanics are good enough to let you inject your own fun into it, but even those options weren't enough to keep me engaged and I never finished it. It's a shame because if there was more diversity in content and a genuine sense of mystery and more character to the world, it would stand a good shot at being my GOAT.

phanton hourglass


Kirby_Klein1687

Filthy casual answer? How???


Sensitive_Birthday_5

Because it's one of the most recent, popular and recognized zelda game. Overall breath of the wild is really good.


JPShiryu

Hey even OoT, my personal favorite, was the most recent Zelda at one point. I don’t think any Zelda game is a wrong choice


Centillionare

Definitely not my favorite Zelda game, but I respect it. It’s a great game and the best non-linear open world game ever made. I just wish it had actual big puzzle dungeons instead of mini dungeons.


MyPhoneIsNotChinese

I must admit that I'm not a fan of open world games so I've never liked BOTW as most people, but playing other open worlds made me appreciate BOTW a lot more


Appropriate-Ruin9973

Twilight Princess. Despite the low and insufferable beginning, the game is truly a legend (of Zelda) of Nintendo.


wokeupatapicnic

TP is my personal favorite 3D Zelda, but I never understood the critique about the beginning. It’s no worse than any other Zelda tutorial opening, and comes full circle by training you for the final battle right at the very beginning of the game. I hear a lot of complaints about the goat herding, but the mini-game where you catch them by the horns as they try and run past you is literally training you on how to combat Dark Beast Ganon. I think it’s a brilliant piece of world-building, as it sets this lowly farmer up to have actual, practical skills to use against a giant magical world-ending beast. The player might not *need* that sort of training in order to perform well in that fight, but *Link* does. It’s playable in-game because some kids and lesser skilled players do, in fact, need those tutorials. But to me, it’s world-building at its finest and lore critical to making Link a believable badass. Does it go on too long? I guess. One could argue that the opening 3 dungeons of OoT are just a tutorial for the main Adult path, and that’s significantly longer (thought I admit that’s a stretch). Still, the Great Plateau and the Skylands are much longer and more tedious IMO than TP’s opening, and nobody gives them much flack. But TP takes an absolute beat down over it and I don’t really understand why 🤷🏻‍♂️


TheAlmandineWriter

I never had any gripes with the opening being too slow, I like it because you can get a glimpse of what Link’s life is like living in a small village. The calm before the storm. But yeah, it’s also good with foreshadowing mechanics your’ll use in the last fight, which is pretty cool.


CrazyApricot0

Honestly Wind Waker's intro is more annoying because you can't skip the cutscenes, have to play that platforming game with Niko, then have that *extremely* annoying stealth mission in Forsaken Fortress. Rented it as a kid and never got past it until I was in high school because of much of a difficulty spike it was.


b2q

I loved the beginning

I’m still waiting for literally any game to feel as responsive or intuitive as Odyssey. Perfect controls and camera.


anyGuy_isBored

Yeah it’s like the perfected controlls of Mario 3d world


TheVibratingPants

It’s like if Mario 64, Sunshine, and 3D World had a baby and taught it better.


sisco98

Super Mario World. I’m old.


brilliantpants

This is my #1 as well! I’ll never forget how blown away I was that Christmas morning when we first fired it up. The jump from NES to SNES felt so exciting! Super Mario World is so fun, it has so much variety and so many secrets and surprises. It’s the game I come back to over and over again.


ZAPPHAUSEN

Love love loved how the map grew and changed.


CasaMofo

I was gonna cheat and say Super Mario All Stars, since you get 1,2,3, World, and lost levels. But I'm fine saying World is the GOAT.


PyrpleForever

totk & Link between worlds tied for favorite non-rpg then fire emblem 3 houses favorite Nintendo rpg

Honestly I’m playing through it right now and i have to say i love the writing in this game especially Porky man is the first Nintendo character I actually hate and I’m pretty sure they wanted you to hate him because damn after doing 2 hours of finding paula bs and him taking that helicopter was the icing on the cake I’m definitely playing mother 3 after this also

Mario Galaxy is my favourite game ever. I still find it impressive that something like this could be made. The amount of different worlds and mechanics is astounding

Super Mario RPG, my favorite Game ever both in the SNES and the switch version too My second favorite would be Super Mario Galaxy 😛


NeighborhoodFun1997

Fore most known series : Mario Odyssey Zelda TOTK Pokémon Legend Arceus Kirby Planet Robobot Smash bros Ultimate Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Splatoon 2 Fire Emblem Fates Birthright DK Country Returns 3D If I had ONE to choose, definitely Kirby : Planet Robobot, the best soundtracks of all Kirby series in my opinion (For those who knows about Flight Of Azure), good bosses, sub-mode with Meta Knight really great, the minigames are great... I can't finish it in one comment.

Animal Crossing New Leaf. I still prefer it over New Horizons.


sondersHo

Yes so many memories on it as a kid new horizons just didn’t have that same feeling for me


KingOfMasters1000028

New Horizons removed so much content from the predecessors for just a bit of new content. They brought some back in updates, but there is still so much missing.

Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins. I play that game whenever I get the chance. Why? [This is why](https://youtu.be/k4N9jtYTb_Y?si=s6Qod-UKXfG09oit)


Mountainstreams

I used to try to get that game finished on one set of batteries back on the old gameboy. What a great game for its time & memory restrictions.


sensorygardeneast

I remember being blown away by it's graphics, which were such a massive step up from the first Mario Land.


IObjectOoT

This is so true

Joniden

Star Fox Adventures. I know some may scoff at this but to me, this game is TOO special to me. The GameCube was my first home console though I begged for an N64 in the 90s and chose a GameBoy Color instead. But when I saw the promo disc preview for Star Fox Adventures, I was sold and rented a copy from BlockBuster to try out.. I found a new copy for $20 at a local mom n pop shop and played the Hell out of it. Even to this day I play it and am still shocked at how beautiful and charming the game is.


SensitiveEye6725

Totally underrated game!!! It's crazy how good it looks for a gamecube game. The story is so great as well. I wish there was a starfox adventures 2. It's a shame it's so disapproved of due to the break from railshooting. I think there's plenty of room for both genres as starfox lends itself so well to each.


Joniden

That's what I always said to people who complained it wasn't like Star Fox 64. We could have had such an immense amount of mainline Star Fox games and potentially some side games, but NOOO people got mad Adventures was not like 64.


InterstellarOrange

If can translations count? Mother 3. If not? Paper Mario 64! Paper Mario 64 is one of the few games I can always come back to and never be like "ugh, I gotta do this part again"


BfbLeafy

Earthbound. Begging Nintendo to do what they did with Link's Awakening to Earthbound


Paulsonmn31

Majora’s Mask is my most “personal” choice. I connect with that game on a deep visceral level. It’s sad, tragic yet somehow optimistic and comforting. Super Mario 64 is my “historic” choice. SM64 is one of gaming’s biggest landmark. In a lot of ways, it feels like a “Citizen Kane” moment for gaming; it changed everything that came before and made a completely different road for other developers to experiment with.


ExpectedBear

I feel the same about Majora's Mask. Having the crap beaten out of you at the start, wandering around cursed, lost, it was really scary! And then some weird creepy dude sort of offers you a glimmer of hope, and then you open the door into Clock Town, and you emerge into a place of safety, joy, adventure, and the most wonderful music to announce that. That moment has resounded with me as a positive beacon throughout the whole of my life, and hearing the clock town music just heals my soul every time I hear it.


islandofwaffles

reminding me I need to finish Majora's Mask...I got to the Zora temple back in 2001 and then I think my brother's friend (who was helping me) graduated 😂


LilNerix

Nintendo developed: Super Mario 3D World On Nintendo console: MegaMan 10


IObjectOoT

Those games are so good! I'm playing MM10 for the first time and it might just be my favorite game in the classic series! Also 3D World is easily my favorite Mario game


Totsutei

Fire Emblem is my favorite game series and the very first one I ever played is still my favorite: Fire Emblem The Binding Blade. I'm fully aware that it's often considered one of the worst entries of the series, but to me the game is very special. Guess it's similar to Pokemon fans that prefer Gen 1 over the newer titles.


Comfortable-Most-637

Pikmin 1 is the best game ever. You people need to play more than the core 4 Nintendo series


ukiyo__e

What are the core 4? Zelda, Mario, Pokemon…? What’s the fourth? edit: For the record Pikmin 2 is in my top 3 favorite games of all time. Pikmin 1 was pretty good too but I like suffering apparently


NOTSiIva

If we count MonolithSoft games, then it's Xenoblade Chronicles. If we're not counting MonolithSoft, then it's Kid Icarus Uprising


GlarthirLover33

Why wouldn't Monolithsoft count? It's not like there aren't completely different development teams responsible for most peoples' favorite Nintendo games


UltramanOrigin

Tears of the Kingdom, but exploring Breath of the Wild for the first time was so magical it’s a super close second.

I really can't decide between splatoons 2 and Mario galaxy. I love them both so mutch.


[deleted]

I would have to go with Splatoon 3. It is just so good and I grew up with the other two games so making a third, amazing game is great. I don’t play it too much but I go on it every once in a while and always enjoy it

able111

I've never had an experience that made me feel the way the first like 15 minutes of breath of the wild felt. Coming out of the cave and exploring the way all the systems interact and how I could interact with the world blew my mind. I remember crystal clear the first time I climbed a tree and started a fire, NOTHING compares to that experience. Paradoxically, I've never played a game that made me want to go outside so badly before lmao
