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.

If you stick with the list instead of stopping after a few pages and bashing it you'll notice there're some good titles in there. I was hoping for Perfect Dark, which was probably one of the best shooters of the day, though. Glad Goldeneye was in there, but Rare took all the best stuff about that game and injected Awesome steroids in it to make Perfect Dark. And I'm not really sure what Superstar Saga was doing on there. It's a good game and I still play it, but it's no where near good enough to contend for the best Nintendo games of all time. All in all it was a good list, though. : )

You guys must be idiots if you think Melee is one of the best Nintendo games. Also, why isn't ALTP higher on this list?

well yeah Super Mario bros 3 is the best seller game of all the times, the first game that introduce the Koopalings (Bowser's Kids) but for me the Best game from Nintendo of all the times should be The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, everything was excelent with it, and I mean EVERYTHING!, except that should had been a boss where epona could be used to fight it and a sky temple

Helloooo, Tetris nearly INVENTED the Gameboy, that's how much it was played. That and Pokemon, God, honestly. Brawl is lower than you'd expect because Melee was so hardcore and when they removed all the glitchy stuff, it just ruined it for most people -.-, and Melee wasn't even on the list, so this whole list just blows in general!
