Issue 31: The Best Games of 2010

2010 was a banner year for Nintendo fans. Regardless of any dire news about console sales dropping or third party developers and publishers abandoning ship, there were still plenty of excellent, must-have games on every Nintendo platform. And since we just wrapped up a year, we thought why not name the Best Games, something we’ve not done since 2007? There were plenty of titles to choose from, and we’re likely to have left a favorite off of your personal list. Yes, we considered great titles like Red Steel 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey and Monster Hunter Tri, but they just barely came up short.

No worries, though: you’ll get an opportunity to name your favorite in each of this week’s articles via an included poll and of course the comments. We’re really excited to find out if you agree with our choices or will promote a swell of support for a game we left off our lists. And since it’s impossible to make even everyone on the staff happy, we’ll have a round table at the end of the week in which we champion our unsung favorites.

Enjoy,
Noah
