Breath of the Wild combines a variety of the best elements from previous titles, but introduces them in a completely different context — an expansive and vast open world.

Gameplay is refined, tight, and extremely responsive. With battle mechanics being reminiscent of iconic titles like Twilight Princess , Link seamlessly switches between combat and free roaming as you decide whether or not to battle the enemies you encounter along your journey.
Attacks and dodges are crucial, and have been appropriately fine-tuned; weapons and shields can now break, increasing their temporary value in tight spots and pressing situations. With a world this large comes the possibility of running into undefeatable enemies in the early stages of the game , so beware the path you walk! But prior the Nintendo Switch, there was a long period of time where fans of the series wanted continuations to the titles we had so greatly enjoyed e.
Battles are reminiscent of titles like Street Fighter IV , with combos being easy to string, and potential damage being extremely high.
Star Fox Zero is a particularly fantastic game for the variety of homages that it pays to iconic titles from previous decades. Gameplay is tight and refined, incorporating the scrolling shooter aspects from Star Fox 64 and Star Fox 2 , and more subtle gameplay elements like vehicle transformation.

Unlike Xenoblade Chronicles , the protagonist in this title is totally customizable by abilities and appearance, which personalizes the experience more, for the better.
You become a member of a paramilitary group named BLADE, who protects the dominion you now inhabit from a litany of enemies. The gameplay in Xenoblade Chronicles X is truly a point of contention.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker earned cult classic status thanks to a devout set of fans amongst the franchise. Nintendo shocked fans with their newest Zelda title in The game looked nothing like its predecessors. With the franchise seemingly dominating commercial and critical categories, the decision to change the formula was a bold one.
The Wind Waker opts for a cell-shaded art style. This marked a huge shift in stylistic tone for the franchise. It gave the game a cartoonish look that provided a ton of charm.
Unfortunately, the new look divided the fan base. Due to its divisiveness, The Wind Waker did not perform as expected in terms of sales. However, the game earned heaps of praise for pushing the franchise in a new direction.

The boss battles in Tropical Freeze are yet another respectable feature. As with most Nintendo franchises, the audio quality is sublime. The original audio composition is yet another defining factor. The game does offer cooperative play.
However, the levels are so difficult that finding success with two players working in perfect tandem is often impossible. Both players need to be perfect to succeed in cooperative play. Anything short of perfection and your frustration is sure to rise. The plot is a mere afterthought here and the story progression is clearly on the back burner. Essentially, players must navigate side-scrolling platformer levels.
The player must make it to seven different islands in order to defeat the villains. Each member of the cast has their own unique abilities. Figuring out when to utilize each member is the key to getting through levels with minimal fuss. Each Super Smash Bros.

Ultimate — players are given a truly staggering amount of variety in terms of gameplay and play-styles.
Add me on Switch! I voted for Super Mario 3D World. What a great game! HyperonicX 5 days ago 3. Wind Waker HD is the only one that interests me on that list, so that's an easy vote. Ironneos99 5 days ago 4. I'm actually sad that Nintendo could at least release Wii U with Zelda BotW bundle to save the system, but choose to not do it.
It also baffled me that Nintendo doesn't put more effort in Xenoblade Chronicles X marketing. Mecha and Waifu will certainly hook most weebs outside of japan.
Gotta go with Wind Waker. TebaPlayer 4 days ago 6. Wind waker. That's not a bad list. RestlessCricket 4 days ago 8. StephenYap3 4 days ago 9. Eh, I guess Super Mario Maker.

Super Mario Maker earned an 88 rating on Metacritic and sold over 4 million units, becoming an instant classic for the Wii U. Much to the surprise of many, Nintendo attempted to enter the competitive multiplayer genre in with Splatoon.
