Nice picks!
Yeah really. What are the odds.
Haters? I've seen more dissenters than outright haters.

Would be glad for Kid Icarus Uprising to take its rightful place as king.
I think it would be best to wait for the end of this gen though.

Splatoon fans are legion.
I'm all for it. Regardless of modern releases, it's quite interesting to see how taste and reception of classic games change over time. Stuff like Majora's Mask may receive a boost - and others like GoldenEye may falter.
In terms of modern releases; Mario Kart 8, Xenoblade Chronicles, 3D World, Smash 4, Bayonetta 2, FE Fates, Splatoon, LBW and a few others stand a chance of shaking up the list.

That's still a very solid list tho
Why is the truth surprising?

Splatoon, Mario Kart 8, Smash 4, Wonderful 101, Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3, 3D World, Tropical Freeze, Fire Emblem Awakening/Fates, Animal Crossing New Leaf...
Tons of candidates.

That was when SS was still fresh.
That game had an ugly "in hindsight" moment for most people.
I don't think it would be near the place it is now if we did another vote.
Well to be fair this survey was done when SS was still new. Things may be different now.
Oh hehe, "hey why this necro bump?"
Had a lot of fun making this thread and luckily Cheesemeister offered to help out. Don't know if the mods would allow another one. I remember when I posted this it started a flurry of threads like this for Sony and a bunch of publishers like S-E.

Yeah I thought about that... Then I realized that people said the same thing about MGSIV so maybe there is some truth to the list even if it is 4 years old.
Maybe.
MK8, Splatoon, Kid Icarus, Bayonetta 2, Yoshis WW, Tropical Freeze, Mario 3D world, Smash 4, Nintendoland, Mario Maker, and Wonderful 101, ALBW, the 3DS kirbys, the 3DS Fire Emblems, Boxboy, and Stretchmo all deserve consideration though IMHO.
That be great, some good contenders like Splatoon, matio kart 8, loz:lbw, etc.
That'd be awesome! I bet there would be good turnout this time of year.

The top 3 is indeed rather terrible.
I think Super Metroid deserves its spot at least.

Looking back at the list I submitted:
I think only A Link Between Worlds would have a crack at breaking in. Haven't had a chance to play the new fire emblem game yet though.

You guys are mentioning a lot of great games.
None of them would crack the top 20. I think people forget just how insane Nintendo's back catalogue is.
Splatoon and Tropical Freeze would come closest of the Wii U titles. I could see LBW actually cracking the top 20. But that's it.
This guy here... He gets it.
There are bound to be some new opinions after four years.
Ocarina of Time was a very impressive game when it came out so it's going to be held in high regard.

I'd be up for an updated vote on this. Mario Kart 8 would hit the top ten for sure, right? And I think Mario Maker would score pretty high too.

High five!
I would love for someone to make a SEGA thread only for it to devolve into an argument of whether the Platinum games count. Because Bayonetta would eviscerate that list.

Solid list. Wish Pokemon was up higher however.
OoT and Super Metroid will always be 1A and 1B to me. I cant choose between the two.
Edit: Whoops, just noticed its from 2012

I didn't say they are top 20, I said that they're worthy of consideration.
Pikmin 3
Really, I honestly believe Pikmin 3 is one of he top 20 Nintendo games no joke. Smash 4 is also a good contender.
My top 20 wouldn't include SMW, SM64, WW or any Earthbound game. I mean the two Mario games are probably my most played single player games on SNES and N64 respectively, but replaying them nowadays doesn't do much for me. I guess I don't care about exploration 'done right' and the sense of being on a real adventure, Wind Waker especially has always been my least favorite Zelda game because the overworld feels like a chore to explore and half of its dungeons are boring. SMB 3 has much tighter level design and it's a pure joy to play no matter how many times I've beaten it, glad to see it above World.
I would vote for Splatoon, Super Mario Maker, Mario Kart 8 and A Link Between Worlds in their place.

Good list, but I still think to this day that Link's Awakening, Super Mario RPG and Earthbound are seriously overrated. Great games for sure, but not as mind-bendingly amazing as some people make them out to be. Besides, each of these has a vastly superior sequel or prequel that does almost everything they do better (ALttP, Paper Mario / Mario & Luigi, Mother 3).
Also, my top three would probably be OoT, Super Mario World, Metroid Prime.

I think it's one of those "you had to be there, at just the right age" kind of things. I was already an adult when OOT came out and it didn't have nearly the same impact on me. But for someone a bit younger, I imagine it blew their minds.

I googled to see if a Sega equivalent to this thread exists.

I would love to vote, missed the last one! Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8 and Pikmin 3 are real contenders IMO.

I'm still legit shook that DKC1 outranked the rest of the DKC games, so yes we totally could do with a modern update to right this ridiculous wrong.
