GAF Votes: Top 50 Nintendo titles of all time
After Famitsu readers ranked their top 50 Nintendo titles of all time, I wondered what a top 50 list ranked by GAF would look like. Well, I guess there is only one way to find out I suppose? Like the voting thread for “GAF games of the year 2011” we’ll pick ten games which should be in the top 50 Nintendo games of all time. Let’s start with the rules, shamelessly ripped from the GOTY 2011 thread:
Voting rules

Please note you don’t have to follow the format exactly, but it will make the thread easier to read and follow.

And so on.

Like the voting thread for “GAF games of the year 2011” we’ll pick ten games which should be in the top 50 Nintendo games of all time. Let’s start with the rules, shamelessly ripped from the GOTY 2011 thread:
Voting rules
- List up to ten games, in order from one to ten.
- Follow the format below as listed below
- You can use the game list in post #2 to help you remember which games Nintendo published in the past. This list is NOT necessarily comprehensive. Don’t see your favorite game on there? Put it in your list, and we’ll update the games list with your nomination.
- Add your thoughts! Put a semicolon (
after each game and write what you thought. It’s great to read thoughts of fellow GAF’ers on Nintendo’s games and why they should be in the GAF Top 50 Nintendo Games of all Time. - Please don’t use abbreviations for titles. Write down the whole title to avert confusion
- Multiple votes for the same title will disqualify your entire ballot.
- Each user may only vote once, but you may edit your ballot as often as you like until the deadline.
- Want to talk about another poster’s list? Quote it. Any unquoted ballots (those outside a quote block) will overwrite your own previous vote.
- Voting Ends February 3rd at 11:59pm, PST

What Games Count?
- Every Nintendo game released on NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Gameboy, Virtual Boy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, Nintendo DS and Nintendo 3DS.
- This includes titles released before the 31st of December 2011.
- Second Party titles count as well. For instance, games like Goldeneye 64 or Eternal Darkness, Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie are allowed.
- Voting for imported titles is allowed. If you list an import game, please mention which country you are from. Otherwise I will assume you didn’t read the rules and the vote will not count.
- Remakes and significant upgrades to games count too.
- Compilations are not allowed. Examples: Super Mario All Stars (SNES) and the The Legend of Zelda compilation disc on Gamecube.
- Ports that amount to “ROM dumps”, i.e., ports with no additional content or significant changes, are not allowed. Think of NES Classics Ice Climbers on GBA or Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary.
- If you’re unsure about a game, just ask!
