448th played so far Genre: Racing Platform: SNES Year of Release: 1992 Developer: Nintendo EAD Publisher: Nintendo It feels like it’s time for something fun!

426th played so far Genre: Platform Platform: SNES Year of Release: 1991 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo This game feels like one of those games everyone has heard of – as a SNES launch title, nearly everyone probably played it and has good memories of it. The sequel to Super Mario Bros. 3 – I understand […]
421st played so far Genre: Sports Platform: Wii Year of Release: 2006 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo If there is one game that defined Nintendo’s success with the Wii, it’s Wii Sports.

413th played so far Genre: Music Platform: DS Year of Release: 2006 Developer: iNiS Publisher: Nintendo Rhythm games are usually pretty abstract, light on plot and focused on showing you your actions.

408th played so far Genre: Puzzle Platform: Various Year of Release: 1990 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo Sure, Mario has had many jobs through the years, but I suppose his employment as a doctor is probably more known to people through Super Smash Bros appearances than anyone who have played the game.

407th played so far Genre: Action Platform: Gameboy Advance Year of Release: 2003 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo The first time we played a WarioWare game, it came with what would have been an accelerometer gimmick.

403rd played so far Genre: Platform Platform: Arcade Year of Release: 1981 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo Perhaps inevitably, gaming would start riffing on movie stories. While not the first, Donkey Kong‘s inspiration is obvious form the name – King Kong is already referenced in the name, and the central image of an ape climbing a […]

388th played so far Genre: Platform Platform: SNES Year of Release: 1995 Developer: Nintendo Publisher: Nintendo We’ve been playing the Mario games out of order for a while, starting from Super Mario 64, but in terms of Mario chronology (as much as that exists) this is (pretty much without argument) the first. Rather than the […]
