After posting in the "SNES Best Era" topic...I was thinking about which years were Nintendo's best, and what games came out each year. This is a timeline of the games that came out on Nintendo's systems. This is a list of the "main" titles that came out each year, and is nowhere near a complete list of ALL the games. I may be a little off on what year a couple of the games were released...but I think I'm pretty close. I didn't bother with Game Boy games...just Nintendo's main consoles. All the games are color coded for what system they were released.

NICE! Retromanaic! 
I get nostalgic just reading about it. I think you got most of the major releases, like I said in that thread Nintendo's best years were from 1985-1994.
Not saying there weren't good games after that, but those were when the greatest number of good games came out on a consecutive basis.Are you sure you want to delete this post? Yes | No
