What's number one? What didn't make the list? Are we insane? All these answers and more as we count down Nintendo's greatest.

#25 Wii Sports (Wii)

Gamers will always remember Nintendo for the Marios, Metroids and Zeldas. Decades from now, however, Wii Sports may become the company's defining moment. A launch game for its Wii console, Wii Sports makes excellent use of the motion sensitive remote, allowing us to golf, play baseball and enjoy a few frames of bowling with friends. Most importantly, it introduced non-gamers to the joy that is, well, gaming. People that never played games picked up a remote and never looked back. Sure, having grandma hog your Wii isn't cool. Then again, perhaps it is.

No Final Fantasy love? Legends may be the greatest game ever made according to my 5th grade playground experiences

Seriously these reviews are terrible. I can't believe Mario Kart for N64 didn't make it, seriously Animal Crossing... and not just good animal crossing... Animal Crossing for DS. Really?

Where are Kirby Super Star, Super Mario RPG, and Pokemon?

Not a bad list, considering game daily... I'd probably have them in another order though.

Although not a usual EPIC fail, this list still fails pretty hard. At least you mentioned games like Super Metroid, which was correctly stated to be the best Metroid game ever. But yeah....wtf is Warioware.....

I'm kinda happy with about 85% of the games of this list, i'm just surprised that MySims isnt on here! :D
