Answer:

1. ‘The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time’ – N64

2. ‘Super Metroid’ – SNES

3. ‘Super Smash Bros. Ultimate’- Switch

4. ‘The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild’ – Wii U/Switch

5. ‘Metroid Prime’ – GameCube

6. ‘Super Mario 64’ – N64

7. ‘The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past’ – SNES

8. ‘Super Mario Sunshine’ – Gamecube

9. ‘Pokémon Gold/Silver’ – GameBoy Color

10. ‘Earthbound’ – SNES

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Many who played Ocarina of Time as their first game for the N64 will be influenced by the masterpiece for the rest of their lives. I say this without any doubt: Ocarina is a flawless title that deserves nothing but praise.

2. The breadth of Super Metroid is jaw-dropping. Considering all of the technological leaps Super Metroid took on the SNES, there’s nothing quite like it out of all of the best Nintendo games.

3. I don’t know how he does it, but series creator Masahiro Sakurai manages to squeeze in even more content than before in each new Smash game. Ultimate should be his magnum opus. If the roster and content weren’t enough to justify a lifetime’s rest, the detailed physics, matchups, and playtesting should be.

4. Although the original NES Zelda was a very groundbreaking open-world game, Breath of the Wild is the far superior modern marvel. For the first time ever, you could run right into Ganon’s chambers within hours of gameplay (minutes, if you’re a speedrunner). Thus, you have the choice of having a grand adventure. Breath of the Wild is what you make of it. The four main dungeons are only a drop in the bucket when compared to the multitude of mini shrines and overworld puzzles scattered throughout the beautiful land of Hyrule.

5. Samus’s first 3D Metroid game is hands down one of the most beautiful looking games of all time. To this day, environmental effects, such as blood splatter and steam heating up your visor, look realistic and fantastic. The translation from 2D to 3D Metroidvania overworld puzzles is done so seamlessly in Prime so as to make you forget the SNES ever existed.

6. A unique part of the magic of Mario 64 is the level discovery. It seems as though there are major worlds tucked away in every tiny corner of Peach’s castle, which rewards exploration with the gift of more incredible gameplay. No Mario game, 3D or otherwise, will ever match the legacy of Super Mario 64.

7. The best 2D Zelda of all time will always be A Link to the Past. It takes everything that was great from the original NES Legend of Zelda and runs with it. The open world, mixed with dynamic combat and a nega world map, are leaps and bounds better than any other top-down 2D dungeon crawler.

8. Sunshine was a technical feat at the time, but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t any meat to this 3D world flex on Nintendo’s surprisingly powerful GameCube system. With a beautiful hub world and earwormy level themes, Sunshine goes down as one of Mario’s best platformers of all time.

9. The Pokémon games really leveled up in the second Generation’s Gold and Silver. The titles were follow-ups to the massively popular Red and Blue, but this time around, the development team really knew what they were doing. With balance issues and the glitches in Type matchups fixed, the Pokémon series really took off running in the Generation II games. The story was more compelling, the rival was meaner, the battles were tougher, and the world was larger than ever. To many, Gold and Silver are the definitive Pokémon games.

10. This cult classic is full of charm and love, mixed in with some really offbeat Beatles references and quirky monster battles. Once a tough game to find due to its limited Western SNES production, the beloved series gained new critical acclaim when it made its way onto the Nintendo Wii U’s eShop.
