The Nintendo Switch has dominat🤪ed since its launch in 2017, and now we have a vast selection of fantastic games to take on the g🔥o.

However, there have always been stand-out titles on Nintendo systems from the beginning, with each console having at least a handful of fantastic titles. With a massive selection to choose from, it's hard🌊 to choose the very best game on 🃏each Nintendo system, but here are the best.

12 Kirby's Adventure

Kirby has been seeing a bit of a renaissance on the Switch, but it's important to remember that the pink puffball has had some amazing games ever since the NES era. While Kirby started on the Game Boy, his first home console release introduced his copy abil🧜ity.

The game still looks amazing on the NES, with the style of the game holding up to modern pixel art standards, and the light-hearted platforming gameplay is just as fun here as it is in the rest of ♏the Kirby series. While any Kirby title is a good starting point, if you want to see where Kirby𝓰 started to shine, this is the game.

11 Earthbound 𝐆

SNES

Released

So many titles on the SNES have aged spectacularly, and there is no shortage of titles that could be contenders for the best on the console, but one that was underrated for the longest time, but is now appreciated for its massive impact is 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Earthbound.

Also known as Mother 2, this JRPG has influenced hundreds of quirky RPGs that have followed in its footsteps,ꩲ and even though it is now over 30 years old, the original version is still a joy to pick up, and is still just as good as new JRPGs releasing today.

10 The Legend Of Zelda: Majora's Mask

It's hard to discuss the best Nintendo games on each console without running into the Zelda games eventually, and while many might assume that Ocarina of Time is the clear choice f🐠or the N64, Majora's 🌜Mask just has it beat.

There are many Legend of Zelda games that don't get as much love as Ocarina of Time or Breath 🌳of the Wild, but they are more than worth your time.

This Zelda title stands out from the rest of the series, choosing to focus more on the struggles of the side characters amidst an 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:apocalyptic time loop. Dropping series traditions in favour of taking a more emotional and dark approach has made this title one of the most memor๊able in the long꧑-running series.

9 🦄 Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Gamecube

Released
🦩 October 11, 2004
Publisher(s)
Nintendo
Platform(s)
⛎ 🌜 Nintendo GameCube

Seen as Nintendo's awkward middle child, the Gamecube still has plenty of interesting titles that hold up incredibly well to modern standards, but a former cult classic that has found its way back into the limelight thanks to a timely remake on the Switch, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is seen as the best 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Paper Mario game for a reason.

This RPG creates one of the most interesting settings featured in a Mario game, with plenty of engaging characters for our protagonist to befriend throughout his adv🅰enture. Hopefully, now this title is getting the attention it deserves, new Paper Mario entries will take more inspiration from it in the future.

8 🌜 Metroid Prime Trilogy 🎃

Platform(s)
Wii

The Wii is often overlooked as a gimmick console, only known for party games and casual titles that don't hold as much value, but looking under the surface, the console features plenty of classics that are well worth returning to. However, one of the best is the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Metroid Prime Trilogy.

There's a reason why the hype for Metroid Prime 4 is so in🐓tense, and that can be seen in this impeccable collection that not only ported the first two titles from the Gamecube, but added pointer controls to make the shooting even smoother than it was💝 in the originals. While this collection is still quite rare, it's one of the best ways to experience this fantastic trilogy.

7 Bayonetta 2 ꦡ

Wii U

Bayonetta 2

Released
💫 October 24, 2014 ꦇ
Publisher(s)
Nintendo

The first 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Bayonetta game was released on both Xbox and Playstation, making it exclusive to every mainstream consoleꦐ except Nintendo's, so it came as a massive shock that they helped bring the sequel to life, making it an exclusive to Nintendo's♋ controversial follow-up to the Wii.

While there is still plenty of debate over whether the first or second Bayonetta title is better among fans, the quality of action gameplay featured in the sequel is undeniable, and some of the most unadulterated fun you can have on t💙he Wii U.

6 Tetris

Game Boy

Released
July 31, 1989 🌜
Developer(s)
Nintendo, Alexey Pajitnov
Publisher(s)
Nintendo
Platform(s)
168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Game Boy, 🍒Nintendo Entertainment Syꩲstem

The Game Boy was the first portable console for many gamers, and with it having a massive lifespan, there is plenty of competition for its best game. In spite of this, the pure impact and staying power of Tetris on the Game Boy cannot be overlooked.

The puzzle game has changed sur🧜prisingly little over the years, and𓆏 the challenge you'll get on the Game Boy is still similar to the latest iterations of Tetris on modern consoles, and still worth trying out today.

5 The L♑egend O🙈f Zelda: Oracle of Ages And Seasons

Game Boy Colour

The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages
Action-Adventure

Released

Capcom, Nintendo
Publisher(s)

Platform(s)
Nintendo Game Boy Color, 3DS

Sometimes not considered a full꧑ new console since its main upgrade from the Game Boy was just adding colour (still pretty significant), that doesn't change the fact that there are plenty of great exclusive titles on this handheld, and that🍬 includes the only existing pair of Zelda games, Oracle of Ages and Seasons.

Does time travel or season-changing call to you?

Unlike its Pokemon counterparts, this duology of games are almost completely unique, with their own dungeons, enemies, worlds, and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:even gimmicks with the ability to travel time in ages, and change the seasons in Seasons. The only Zelda games to be🐲 developed by Capcom, this pair is still well-regarded as🌜 a worthwhile part of the Zelda series.

4 🍰 Golden Sun

Game Boy Advance

Released
🍬 November 12,🍨 2001
Developer(s)
⛎ Camelot Software Planning ൩
Publisher(s)
Nintendo

The last main console in the Game Boy family, as the name suggests, the Advance was a much more capable console, and nothing showed off what it could do better than 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Golden Sun. With the full story of this massive JRPG split over two titles, this classic gaming adventure is one all RPG enth⛦usiasts should experience.

Perfectly combining expert storytelling, engagin🌱g turn-based combat, and a believable setting, this title is ⛎highly recommended by everyone who has played it, and it's a shame we haven't seen more Golden Sun games since the unfortunately average reboot on the DS.

3 Pokemon: Black And White 2 💝 𒉰

DS

Pokémon Black 2

Released
October 7🥂, 2012
Publisher(s)
Nintendo, 🔥The Pokemon Company

Perhaps seen as the best console for Pokemon, with the DS housing two of the most beloved generations of the series throughout it's lifespan, the best monster-catching adventure on the two-scr💖een handheld was the last mainliꦿne addition, Black and White 2.

An unfortunately rare find, this sequel ironed out every flaw present in the first iterations of the Black and White story, while adding even more substantial new features to the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:stunning pixel-art world of Unova.
