I'm satisfied with the list. Some of my quotes made the cut!

Very solid list. I think I had 5 or 6 of the top 10 on my list as well. Didn't expect Mario to dominate the top 10 by that much over Zelda but those are some damn fine games. Curious absence of Banjo-Kazooie anywhere in the results, though, as I definitely had it in my top 10. Well done, GAF.

The fact that Wii Sports made this list before:
Is very disappointing and honestly unacceptable. But maybe GAF hasn't played these classics, to which I can only strongly recommend you do. Otherwise, great list.

2 of those games weren't published by Nintendo...

Glad to see SMB3 placing above SMW
Mario Kart Wii was robbed.

ah! only games published by Nintendo. I missed that requirement. Carry on.
In that case, I'd still rather see Punch Out over Wii Sports, but w/e. Great list.

tp needs its defense force to man up. that's an awesome game. weird to see it below tww and ss.

I absolutely love that SMW and SMB3 ended up being tied.
Perfect in line with the eternal debate about which game is actually better.

Haha, even when I was making my list,
didn't know what order to put those 2 games...
I was too busy voting for Wii Music.

That's a quality list there.

Super Metroid. 
Kinda disappointed Zero Mission is so low given Super Metroid and especially Metroid Fusion's placement, but eh. Super Metroid was revolutionary whereas Zero Mission was merely a great game.
Glad to see F-Zero GX -- Nintendo game of the decade if you ask me -- get some love!

Just because it's slightly more inaccessible to get the english patch vs. in-store purchases doesn't mean 80% of the world can't play it. Everyone can play it, pretty much, you just have to be willing to put in a very small amount of effort and know where to find it.
Of course the fact that it is so high despite its accessibility issues in the market say tons about just how good the game is. I assume it must be similar for Xenoblade, but I sold my Wii before they made that Gamestop announcement so it'll be a long time before I find out.
I'm a little surprised you missed Paper Mario 2, that seems like a game you'd really enjoy. I'm not sure what you felt about the first one though.
From a cursory glance, pretty sure I played every game in that top 50.
The Legendary Beginning -> The Black Sheep -> The Master Piece -> The Master Piece's Rival
SMB1 -> SMB2 -> SMB3 -> SMW
SM64 -> SM Sunshine -> SMG1 -> SMG2
Mind = Blown.

listen to the mad man
I liked PM a lot but lost my save file like 30 minutes before the end, never got around to replaying. I also never owned a GameCube, just bummed off my sister's on the early half of the generation when I was still living at home. I would have bought it to play on Wii, but I don't own a Wavebird and my shit isn't set up for controllers with cords. Ships in the night, I guess. I'm sure I'll figure out a way to play it in the run up to Paper Mario 3DS.
I agree with this sentiment. I grew up during the age of those games, and yes while they were great at the time, I feel that both series have had much better games since.
But other than a couple minor oddities, the list is great!

Awesome list! Yoshi's Island should have been number one, but we all have different opinions.
I don't think any of the Rare games count unless they're Nintendo IPs.

Legend of Zelda -> Adventure of Link-> A Link to the Past -> Link's Awakening

I must be the only person in the world who absolutely hates OOT. I first played it on the 3ds. I mean if it's so good it shouldn't matter what time was the time I first played it or what ever. Anyways... after playing okami and darksiders... the game just felt... so stale... simple... easy... Idk boring? ^.^ Zelda 2 was better imo.
You played Okami then think OoT is easy and simple? Not that I think OoT is overly complicated or hard but it trounces Okami in term of dungeons and puzzles (and pacing too).

Good job, GAF. Nice to see you guys made the right choices.
...cuz I kept revising my list and just decided not to post it in the end. LOL.
I love Majora's Mask more than OoT, but I can absolutely accept the top game. It's an extremely accessible game, open to everyone, with wonderful presentation. It really was one of the best games Nintendo has produced.
