After standing all day, had to get in a game of Mario Kart World to wind down. Blue Yoshi with biker drip might be my new main. That, or Hammer Bro…. Maybe Snowman?? #IGNLive

36. Mario Kart 64
35. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
34. Spider-Man 2
33. Call of Duty: Black Ops

Mario Kart 64 was always always always the game I looked forward to playing when I went to my friends house as a kid. Also, menu music was a vibe.

Brawl was not my fav. But it's launch hype was next level.

This is my Nintendo Switch 2 Direct thread 🧵

40. NBA 2K12
39. NBA 2K11
38. Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness
37. Gears of War 2

The 2K era in high school are some times I will never forget. The soundtracks were the best they ever were in the franchise. The game felt a little more arcadey which made it special. Nothing like some shot-clock cheese.

44. Okami
43. Balatro
42. Super Mario 64
41. Wii Sports

Balatro took over my life around Christmas time. I had to put it down because I was too hooked on it. I don't get how some of you make it to scientific notation though. Also... every time I go bowling I hear the Wii Sports theme in my head.

48. Kingdom Hearts II
47. Spider-Man: Miles Morales
46. Sonic CD
45. Wario Land 4

This slate of games are all solid for their own reasons. I think what they all have in common for me is the music. Wario Land 4 is one of the only platformers I truly like. Sonic CD is childhood. Sanctuary is amazing.
March 26, 2025 at 4:04 PM
52. Sonic Riders
51. Octopath Traveler
50. Spider-Man PS4
49. Fortnite

Fortnite has been around for a while and on occasion I'll hop back on with some friends as a good pick-me-up after a busy day. It feels like it's all I have time for nowadays. Can I graduate already?
March 26, 2025 at 4:02 PM
56. Call of Duty: World at War
55. Civilization VI
54. Overwatch (2)
53. Mass Effect

WaW is a lowkey favorite of mine and it gave us ZOMBZ. Civ VI builds on my love for AoE. I think of OW2 and OW as the same game and it gave me great times. Mass Effect.... self explanatory, we'll see where 2 lands.
March 10, 2025 at 4:12 AM
60. Age of Empires II
59. RollerCoaster Tycoon 2
58. Zoo Tycoon 2
57. Mini Metro

I'm just happy my local library as a kid had AoE, RollerCoaster Tycoon, and Zoo Tycoon available to borrow. I would intentionally ask my parents to take me back just to see if the games were there. All time greats.
March 10, 2025 at 4:08 AM
64. Super Mario Bros. 3
63. NBA 2K10
62. Spyro the Dragon
61. Sonic & Knuckles

Some CLASSICS. SMB3 was always my favorites because of all the Tanooki Suit. NBA 2K10's soundtrack is immaculate. Spyro and Sonic & Knuckles are childhood staples for me.
