Its already a nintendo-centric list, seems understandable that not all of em would make top 50. Those are a lot of my favorite games tho. Its funny tho, I don't think Mario 64 is as good as the other games, the rest of the main entries in the series all have better control, like the level design's openness makes it harder to build up the intuition to just know in your bones exactly how you need to jump based on what you're seeing. For me at least, and I mean it still played well and those worlds were really cool. But I think Galaxy is the better 3D game, so much of it just feels more fun to navigate for me.

Cool to see Binding of Isaac and Killer 7 up so high (although are we counting rebirth as the ultimate version of that game? Because that wasn't just an expansion, they basically just fixed everything and then made the music worse).

I think sunshine was an improvement, probably a lot via the gamecube controller, but a lot of the open levels still felt difficult to me (but those challenge levels with the acapella music were great). I'd say I prefer Sunshine, but galaxy was where it really started to work really well, when the openness was used it still felt like there was a clear path.
