OK maybe Nintendo is alright sometimes

These are the only Nintendo games I would say I "love"
Developed in-house only: no HAL, no Intelligent Systems, no Creatures Inc., no Good Feel, Nintendo must fend for themselves and prove they can actually make something with any kind of meaning or value
(oops, the most recent games on this list are from 2001)

this is a good list for the primos of nintendo. getting a lot of cool girl points for axeing OoT and throwing up gameboy Donkey Kong instead.

@Erato_Heti a lot of those Zeldas fall under the "I like them" tier but not "I love them." Even my beloved childhood Wind Waker couldn't quite hack it. This is an exclusive club!!

Honestly I'm mosstly just impressed you know all these games. I've been going through the Game and Watch games rn and to be real if I made a list like this it would prolly be Game and Watch spam. But there's no protest from me, this is good stuff. Now I wanna try The Mysterious Murasame Castle.

@Erato_Heti I'm not sure how much others would get out of Murasame! I found it sparkling with tons of brilliant design decisions that I'm stunned came out of Nintendo, but this may only be the case on account of my proclivity for an extremely specific sub-subgenre

Based as hell for putting Nazo no Murasamejo here, super interesting and fun game. What'd Pikmin 2 do to not get the list though?

@Mr_SU Pikmin 2 is an anomaly to me in that they looked at everything that worked in the first game and did the exact opposite. I extremely do not like that game. I understand it's the fan favorite but some day the populous will understand
