Part of that is due to the restrictions and scoring. It was pretty clear early on that popular but only moderately-liked titles were going to place high just from being placed anywhere on several people's lists, whereas lesser-known stuff didn't stand a chance. I also had a pretty hard time narrowing my list down from 20 to 10, and there's not a huge gap between my #1 and #20.

Nice effort, though.

The list looks okay. I never played extensively a Nintendo game. Never even owned a NES or SNES. I owned SMS, Sega Genesis, and Turbografx.

I don't think I voted, so i can't complain.

Who fucking cares?

Jet Grind Radio, however, cracks this list but ranked 10th on the last list. The consensus best game of last generation wasn't on anyone's favorite list?

More proof that people have short term memory? JSR made a great impression on people that I don't think many other [better] games have been able to accomplish.

Interesting to note, 9 of the games can be played in some form on the SNES.

Somehow I missed this before -

Dude, after all the shit you have given people for liking the SNES more than the Genesis or missing out on lesser known games, not having played it is just wrong.

Rampant fronting.

Ocarina of Time isn't on it at all, let alone #1. Much better than other lists!

this forever will put anything Yoshi has to say into perspective.

Awesome list, and that's not just the bias talking since my #1 game made #1. The big thing that sets this apart from some of the other lists is that these are games that we're fond of instead of games that revolutionized/evolved gaming or games that are just plain better. There are a ton of games better than Super Metroid, but it just happens to hit home with a lot of TNLers.

Gungrave should be on there
