My Top 10 Video Games

My top 10 video games and or game series

Konnichiwa, bonjour, and salutations, everyone! This is my article on my top 10 favourite video games and video game series! These are in my opinion, so no complaining, please. Without further ado, let's start!

10. Hamtaro: Ham-Ham Heartbreak (2003)

Platform: Game Boy Advance

The 3rd Hamtaro game in total, but the second one released outside of Japan. You play not only as Hamtaro, but his friend Bijou as well.

Your goal is to help Harmony stop Spat from ruining love for everybody in the world. The saved relationships are measured in a special item called the Love Meter, which serves a few special purposes in the game...

9. Sailor Moon: Another Story (1995)

Platform: Super NES

A Japan-exclusive RPG that was translated by Bishoujo Senshi Translations for the rest of the 90's during the N64's rule.

In this game, you don't only play as Sailor Moon, you also play the Inner Senshi, as well as Chibi-Moon. Your goal was to find the Barazuishou, a magical stone that can help Tuxedo Kamen heal after the game's antagonists, the Oppositio Senshi, have attacked him.

This is a fun game if you are a fan of Sailor Moon.

8. Yoshi's Story (1998)

Platform: Nintendo 64

Despite being a baby game, Yoshi's Story is a ton of fun if you've played it when you were little.

In this game, you play as one of 6 baby Yoshi (or 8 if you go to certain levels in pages 2 and 3), and your goal was to collect 30 fruit in each level in order to continue further and save the Super Happy Tree from Baby Bowser. Yeah~ It sounds pretty easy, but the challenge relies in a special fruit called the Melon. These pale green orbs of wonder increase your score by 100.

And if you eat 6 of the same fruit (either Apples, Bananas, Watermelons, Grapes, or Melons), another special fruit called the Heart Fruit (which has a cute smiley face on it) will parachute from above and make you invincible.

7. Kirby Super Star (1996)

Platform: Super NES

8 Kirby games in 1 game pak. How can you argue with that? You get to fight a giant bird, race against King Dedede, go treasure hunting, and save the universe! Isn't that amazing?!?

It even gets remade for the Nintendo DS and with the difficulty raised slightly.

6. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards (2000)

Platform: Nintendo 64

A fun game for the N64. I was OBSESSED with this game. Your goal was to collect 72 shards of a really big crystal and stop Dark Matter.

5. Pokemon series (1996-today)

Platform: Nintendo's handhelds

In my opinion, I think the 3rd versions are the best, so I'll talk about them.

Pokemon Yellow: Basically the blessed offspring of Red and Blue and the anime series.

Pokemon Crystal: The gameplay is like Gold and Silver, except that you can catch Suicune, one of the 3 Legendary Beasts, WITHOUT searching through the grass!

Pokemon Emerald: Basically Ruby and Sapphire, except that you fight BOTH Team Magma and Team Aqua.

Pokemon Platinum: The superior cousin to Diamond and Pearl. How superior? Well, they use the ENTIRE Sinnoh Pokedex.

And now, we await the 5th Generation, Black and White. What will that generation bring? Hmmmm...

4. Super Mario World (1991)

Platform: Super NES

The defining moment for the SNES. In it, Mario and Luigi have to rescue the Princess from Bowser, only this time, it's in a place called Dinosaur Land. With help from a dinosaur named Yoshi, the Mario Bros. travel throughout Dinosaur Land to rescue his friends from the Koopalings.

3. Super Mario RPG (1996)

Platform: Super NES

This super-addictive 3-D RPG collaberation from Nintendo and Square (before they stopped working together) follows Mario and his mushroom buddies as they travel around the Mushroom Kingdom to collect the Star Pieces in order to repair the Star Road, which is destroyed by Smithy.

2. MOTHER and EarthBound

Platforms: NES, Super NES

These games aren't like any other. It appeals to children and young women, and you shouldn't cry until the end. And these are just the taglines for the games.

MOTHER, despite being translated, didn't get released due to the rise of the SNES, and MOTHER 2, which was called EarthBound for Western release, got poor reviews due to being too retro-looking for the SNES. By the grand scheme of things, does it even matter? These are fun games!

And now, drumroll please... in the #1 spot, it's...

1. Paper Mario/Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Platforms: Nintendo 64, Gamecube

These are very fun games. In the first one, your goal is to save the 7 Star Spirits and help them get the Star Rod back from Bowser's grasp. In the second one, your goal was to obtain the 7 Crystal Stars and save Princess Peach from the X-Nauts.

And these are my Top 10 games/game series. Until next time, sayonara, adieu, and bye-bye! Keep your eyes peeled for my Top 10 cartoons!

Comments

scratch that... almost all of the games you listed aren't retro

if there's one thing that prophet and retrojerk didn't add, it's that half of the games on your list aren't even retro :/

I grant you, this isn't the worst article I've ever read. Whether it belongs on the back pages or not is up to the voters of the site.

Just take the criticism given to you here and make a better article. That's sure to award you with three things:

1) A higher article score
2) A good comment from me
3) RetroJerk's stunned silence

Certainly, that would be worth it, right?

Obviously you are outnumbered.

I don't think it belongs in the back pages.

I'm with RetroJerk. This article has very little substance. Not to mention that most of us are pretty tired of lists like this. I would rather read a well-written and thought provoking article on a single game that you love than looking at a list of things you barely write two sentences about.

Well my intentions are always to improve the site. Whether you improve or just give up is your choice. But since your three for three on back page articles... It does'nt seem that your getting any better.

I thought your mentioning of the SNES Sailor Moon RPG was interesting.

Sorry, RetroJerk. I already know. But, I think you're making me get better.

You are such a crybaby MoranisFan! How have you gone this long in life without realizing that not everyone is going to like everything you do?

I mean, thumbs down. Sorry. I still hate what you did.

RetroJerk, jango, why don't you sod off?

RetroJerk, this is actually good compared to the first two.

And jango, I know Hamtaro isn't retro, but I love this game, and it should be in the top 10, whether you like it or not, and I did NOT deserve that thumbs up at all.

Wow did Nintendo pay you to write this? And last time I checked it, Hamtaro isn't Retro. Thumbs down and back page bound.

Not enough substance here. You barely say anything about the pokemon games at all and the other entries only get about a sentence of talk. These are your favorite game and you can only say one or two complete sentences about them? I dont get it. I guess this article is better than the last one you made though. And by that I mean the first one you made not the second one that you stole from wikipedia. Thumbs down. And this is MY opinion so "no complaining".

Wish they'd hurry up and port Earthbound over to the VC on the Wii. Has always been one of my favorites and had to defend the validity of its greatness. Of course now people are saying how awesome it is and i can smugly think to myself 'where were you when it was new? oh that's right. bashing it!!'. Great music, fun story, pretty tight game.

Nice list to read.

I so agree...

I still have the yellow electric rat version of Pokemon with box and manuals in min condition and it came inside a GBC box that is mint also with mint manuals. I HATED that game, everyone said it was so great and I had to play Pokemon because it was the best RPG ever conceived. I tried it for a while and it was put on the shelf along with the GBC because before it I had the Game Gear(and the Nomad if that was out before the electric rat games) and it was difficult for me to go back to a handheld like the GBC.

I LOVED Mother 2, I played the US Earth Bound. I didn't play it until I was an adult though, or out of HS, because of the bad reviews and the weird over-sized box that had a weird cover at our local rental place. Me and my brother always thought it had a special accessory or something. Turns out it was the best SNES game ever made. I have yet to play the first Mother, someone is remaking it with SNES graphics and I'm waiting for that. I'm also waiting to play 3 until the Pandora comes out so I can play it on a handheld.

Super Mario World and RPG were good but the rest of the games on your list I didn't really care for so much or haven't played.

Although this is a 'top 10 list' I liked your article, not too long(like my post) and had some interesting stuff.
