Rating games high for nostalgia/effect on industry is stupid. No one cares if it broke ground, if it's no fun to play.

The original SMB is sorta fun, but its sequels outshine it in every way.

I can understand someone to think it's awful, but it's kinda impossible for it to be wrong. I really don't care for lists like this one, not because of what they place on it, but just because I really don't care. Sometimes they're interesting, and it's nice to see some of my favorite cult-classic games make the list. The thing that bugs me about lists, however, are the people who begin to wine because some game didn't make the list, or at least make it very high. They could also get upset because they think a game made it to high up the list. I'm not saying anyone has done this in this thread yet, and it's perfectly fine to say which game you think should have made the list, shouldn't have, ect. I just don't want people to whine and take a fit over it.

What? Why would Nintendo of Australia need Nintendo to sell more games? First off, Nintendo of Australia =/= Nintendo. Second, these games are already selling well and Nintendo is doing fine economically. Also, because of "(see: MK Wii, Galaxy)" makes it sound like you are just conspiring this. Now, maybe they are doing this for advertisement, but as far as we know, these are the games that they believe are the best games that have appeared on a Nintendo console, so we're just going to have to take their word for it.

The magazine reads like a Nintendo press conference, it's mostly pie charts and girls playing Nintendogs.
Is "I kinda forgot" a reasonable excuse for forgetting that Europe published the same list. Also, nope, never read ONM, but it's makeing the current issues of Nintendo Power sound good... Well, you have a great point there, you're making the list seem like an advertisement.

It means that you're blinded by Nintendo's lies and will believe that anything they make is good, anything they say is right, and in general they're perfect.

I disagree. I consider them all very worthy of their positions.
