NOTE: 8 of the top 10 are NINTENDO GAMES!
BOLD represents Nintendo Specific




















and all the top ten have been on Nintendo consoles…
Eight of the top ten are exclusively on Nintendo consoles, six of the top ten were developed by Nintendo.
a lot is not placed, for instance nr. 3
just a remark, further i agree with the list
didnt read well, it are the nintendo platform games, maybe post a full 100 list with bolt exclusive nintendo, italic nintendo platformed, and regular non nintendo titles
Not a nintendo related issue, but x-com isn’t anywhere on this list and it has been way up there on the past lists! Maybe a change in staff compiling this list/staff who didn’t play pc games way back when. Oh well.
“X-COM: UFO Defense” is at 21. He didn’t list all of the games, unfortunately.
