The Average gamer can spend 8 hours per week playing video games on the Xbox 360, Playstation 4 or different consoles but not when it comes to Nintendo consoles. As Nintendo games can be very addictive for most people. With games such as Pac-Man, Sonic and Mario Kart series on your screen, it’s not easy to overcome the addiction these games bring. You know exactly what i mean, when you start playing from the moment you wake up and the next thing you know, it’s 10 pm. And you start questioning yourself how the heck time flew by so quickly.
1. Super Mario Sunshine
Published and developed by Nintendo for the Gamecube console, Super Mario Sunshine is a video game which is the second Super Mario 3D platformer in the series all together, coming after Super Mario 64. Super Mario Sunshine talks about Mario, Toadsworth, Princess Peach and five Toads taking a vacation at a place known as the Tropical Isle Delfino. Mario ends up getting blamed for causing so much damage to the island with graffiti that was caused by a rival name Shadow Mario who have a similar appearance to Mario. Mario is commanded to clean up the island, with a device called the Flash Liquidizer Ultra Dousing Device (F.L.U.D.D.), while saving Princess Peach from Shadow Mario.
2. Pac-Man World 3
Pac-Man World 3 is a very popular video game that was created by Namci and Blitz Games and Published by Namco for the PlayStation 2, the Nintendo GameCube etc. The game is the third in the Pac-Man World series. Pac-Man World 3 is different from the first two Pac-Man World series, the game comes with more fighting and melee style gameplay. However, it has something similar to Pac-Man joining a longtime rival to gain help from him, who is known as Orson. Pac-Man has to go after his enemy Erwin, who imprison Blinky, Clyde and Inky.
3. Mario Kart 8
Mario Kart 8 is a kart racing video game developed and published by Nintendo. The game was first released in 2014 for the Wii U and retain a series game mechanic of Mario kart. Where Mario franchise characters are control by the players in kart racing, picking up a variety of items to gain advantages or to hinder rivals in the race. Mario Kart 8 comes with many surprises such as anti-gravity driving on walls or ceilings, and enabling players to mash into each other for a short boost. The game has multiplayer and single player modes, and also online via the Nintendo Network.
4. Vice: Project Doom
Released on the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), Project Doom is a secret agent’s story seeking to investigate and discover an alien substance. Drawing comparisons with Ninja Garden, Project Doom had 11 complete sections in the style of the movie and theater. The story line was ahead of its time, and players were given three different weapon options to choose from. You can go with a 44 Magnum Revolver, a laser whip, or an M-24 stick bomb supply. ‘James Bond’ is very much like that if you ask us. Also, the first-person shooter was a preview of the many shooting games that would come out in the late 1990’s and early 2000’s.
5. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
With 2D still reigning, Ocarina of Time became a spectacular escape focused on fantasy time-travel, countless puzzles and caves. Ocarina of Time has presented a number of game modes that can stand out in 3D adventurous gaming games including: targeted lock systems and sensitive context buttons. When it comes to N64 games, not too many are on the same level as Ocarina of Time.
6. Donkey Kong Arcade Game
Once upon a time, you had to take a trip to the arcade if you wanted to get your hands on certain video games. Donkey Kong was released in 1981 and used as one of the games to break Nintendo into the North American market. This platforming game contains many roadblocks and obstacles, Donkey Kong, was an early jumping and running manoeuvrability. Now from a gameplay standpoint, this is not considered as the best Donkey Kong game ever, but we have to acknowledge the importance Donkey Kong 1081 version, as its success was critical to the early evolution of Nintendo.
7. Mike Tyson Punch-Out
The study says Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! Deserves a place on this list. Released in 1987, this game is classed as one of the best boxing games that’s ever been created. Along with a boxer name ‘Little Mac,’ the players had to go through many rounds and levels trying to reach the final level known as ‘Dream Fight.’ Punch=Out was inspired by world famous boxer Mike Tyson (who you may have heard of), and Tyson earned a huge salary for his resemblance.
8. Tetris
Tetris may not have been the cup of tea for everyone, but there is no denying its impact on puzzle games. The game itself required significant thinking skills as players tried to keep the puzzles from overflowing as they tumbled down. It may seem less difficult, but Tetris was a real challenge. The game has become so popular that it has spawned many battles for many years, and is now included on devices such as iOS and Android.
9. Super Metroid
Released on Super Nintendo System (SNES), Super Metroid was a self-paced game featuring Samus Aran. In our belief, Samus can sometimes be underestimated in terms of Nintendo characters. She’s not always gaining fame for her sense of humor while kicking butt, and some have argued that she didn’t really fit in with other Nintendo characters. However, the 16-bit exploration game received praise from critics and fans, and it was an adventure from the beginning to end.
10. Contra
The arcade game Contra was released in 1987 and came to the NES in 1988, and eventually became one of Nintendo’s most famous titles. The leading characters, Bill and Lance, were inspired by the reign of Arnold Schwarzenegger / Sylvester Stallone in the late 80s (they look exactly like them), and the game itself was a ‘run and jump’ shooting game in which to play either single or multiplayer mode. Players were able to choose to play in different formats, Contra is one of those classic games that captures the magic of the era in which it was released, and until then, we have never seen a game like it since.
