- Pokemon X & Y
- Gone Home
- Animal Crossing: New Leaf
- The Last of Us
- Pikmin 3

so these are the same people who said a wii u is a better deal yet they dont post a mario game wtf
It seems that GTA V was the last game the author played this year.
Gone Home, Skylanders, AC4 and Pokemon shouldn’t be there
OPINIONS. HOW DO THEY WORK?!
Gone Home definitely deserves a place but casual shit like Animal Crossing, Pokemon, and Skylanders can fuck off.
They are not casual…. Just not gory and shit…. Sick of people saying anything with smiles and cartoons is not a real game…… When generally they’re actually harder than assassins creed and call of duty and shit
By “casual” I mean a game that severely lacks depth and challenge. Pokemon, Animal Crossing, and Skylanders all fit that description.
Pokémon lacks depth?
Pokémon is casual sh*t?
Lol.
Don’t be too hard on him, he’s clearly an idiot.
GTA can equally beconsidered casual, look at all the dirty casual non gamers who buy it
GTA V is a casual game. It’s also the second most overrated game ever behind GTA IV (although I still think the GTA games are pretty good).
yea same
Pokémon lacks depth? Your knowledge of Pokémon lacks depth you mean.
….. Even Mario has a better storyline than cod….. Pokemon is one of the most hardcore games I know…. It takes up the majority of people’s gaming time, (those that actually play it.) people devote themselves to it so it’s way more intense….
i have seen more people fangirl/boy about pokemon x and y then GTA and assasin’s creed. but why is there no mario? i have seen a bunch of people fangirl/boy about that too. btw same with link between worlds.
Cod is more casual than pokemon.
Yeah…. It’s a really casual game…… According to the actual definition of casual… Rather than ‘casual: anything that isn’t all gory or bloody and shit’
Of course CoD is casual game. It severely lacks challenge and depth. Just like Pokemon, Animal Crossing, Skylanders.
Go enter the Pokemon World Championship. Show us how easy it is.
Or just go online for a few minutes.
Might as well enter an EVO bracket…
Invalid point. Any game with a multiplayer component could have fans who are extremely skilled and dedicated and play competitively
Pokemon is a casual game. Essentially a “baby’s first RPG.
It ain’t easy to collect all the pokemon and level them up to the maximum level.. Unless the new ones are easier.
Actually it is easy, just very time consuming.
Have you played the very old ones like Red and Blue?
I would say no for him…still blind hate I see adarazz
The new Pokemon games I can agree with that… They’re too bloody easy
The Pokemon games are casual if you PLAY like a casual. If you try to play Pokemon competitively you’ll find out that it’s really complicated and hardcore. Everyone can beat the main story of the game and its single-player is indeed easy.
Multiplayer is not so :P
Any casual game with a versus multiplayer could be played competitively.
Wii Sports World Championships! woooooooooo!
By saying pokemon lack challenge and depth, it obvious you either know nothing about pokemon or just trolling.
dude. you’re wasting your time explaining things to these clowns. it’s not going to sync in no matter how many times you say it.
Pokemon is casual?
GTA is casual as fuck
Because “casual shit” aren’t also games. Which Pokemon isn’t even, mind you.
Stubborn much?
Gone Home is the most depleted game I have ever played. But I guess with all the short attention spans people have these days a two hour tour of a 90s house narrated by a rebellious teenager is considered artful enough that we can throw any trace of compelling gameplay out the window and slap it onto a top ten list.
Pokemon and Animal Crossing casual shit? Yeah, ’cause there’s no blood… Do you need to shoot people in CoD to feel like a real man, of ’cause you do, ’cause your dick is not enough, it will never be… Sad.
Pokémon is fine, dude.
Fuck you, Pokémon X/Y is the best game of 2014.
I support you! ^
Doubt it, X and Smash are due for 2014.
And if smash is less brawl and more melee, its got my vote.
Second after gta….. If Pokemon x. And y had more stuff to do…. Maybe
Great games such as Forza 5, Ryse: Son of Rome, Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct! Very disappointed in Time magazine!
Lol this fucker.
@ jellybean, yea stuff like killer should be there, BASIC INSTINCT, NO WAY.
“Basic Instinct”.
LOL, Basic Instinct is what the original was in comparison, the new one is waaaay deeper, and has way more mechanics.
Ehhhh, disagree with Ryse…but the rest are great, better than Assassins Creed, that’s for sure.
But im assuming the games included in the list ended mid November.
So you have the Xbox One, Dragon! Great to hear! How have you enjoyed the console thus far? Do you agree with me that is by far the best next generation console? :)
Still think PS4 is the “better console”, but it’s good, i like it.
Curious how much of the “new factor” will wear off and if my opinion changes, and they still need to fix stuff like the UI and the party chat stuff, but games matter most, and they’re pretty great.
The PS4 is the better console? Don’t be silly.
Xbox One was built by gamers, for gamers. The perfect balance of power and performance, Xbox One takes gaming to a whole new level. Stunning realism. Advanced AI that adapts to the way you play. And a new generation of multiplayer that is both smarter and faster. Xbox One is simply the best gaming console ever made.
Ugh, you fake accounts are just…sad
How dare you call my man fake you fat faggot bitch child! :(
LMAO WAKE UP
That isn’t the real Jellybean, just so you know. It’s some faggot try to impersonate him. Jellybean would never suck the Xbox One’s cock like that.
Oh Adarazz! Why do you not believe i’m “the real Jellybean”. It is your old buddy!
The Xbox One has descended from heaven upon me and changed me not only as gamer but has changed my life and made me a better person! :)
ok if youre the real jellybean, tell me where he’s from cus most people on here would know..
yeah…tell us, I’m waiting….
Even if it’s not, he’s less delusional than you.
And another reason why I’m not buying a xbox one yet. No backwards compatibility also degrades it…No gears, no street fighter, NO HAPPY WARS…yeah, the best alright. So don’t be disappointed, they can’t help but tell the truth man…the xbone is just not my cup of tea…yet.
Hahah buy the 2015 slim model…. Will actually work
The fact you put that shit title Ryse proves you arent the real jellybean. Smh, were did he go anyways, I hsvent seen him in a good minute.
Skylanders, a game selling due to the nostalgia of people who grew up on Spyro, that now have children. A stand-alone version of a game that came out last year? This list is laughable. I also have no problem with GTA V being on there but number 1? Bahahahahaha
I agree with almost all, but 10, 4, and 1. Super Mario 3D World definitely deserves to be on this list and Assassin’s Creed can be on the list, just not at number 2. SM3DW, Pikmin 3, and TLOT should be the top 3 (respectively).
This list is bullshit.
Everything on this site is bullshit.
Skylanders over A Link Between Worlds, Rayman Legends, Tomb Raider, Ni No Kuni, Tearaway… Wow.
wow Ni no kuni definitely !
Tales of Xillia was great too but it went a little ehhhh when you realise all the environments are basically copy pastes.
The only xillia has going for it is the combat. The new fighting link mechanics work perfectly, but the story isnt that great.
Ps: millas voice acter sucks so bad.
Lmao this is the shittiest list. AC4, Blood Dragon and Skylanders should not be on this list.
Bullshit, Blood Dragon is hilarious. Best downloadable only title this year.
List is missing Fire Emblem Awakening, Link Between Worlds.
Chances are that this list was made before Mario 3D World and Zelda came out. It’s been only 2 weeks since release.
GTA…
Enough said…
This list needs for Xbox One! Don’t you agree Commanderé
It needs it to be destroyed in the top list yes…
Skylanders: Swap Force
Skylanders: Swap Force
Skylanders: Swap Force
Skylanders: Swap Force
Skylanders: Swap Force
Skylanders: Swap Force?!?!?!?!?!!?!!?!?!
Indeed…
I think Super Mario 3D World should be in on top of that list…
It makes me have fun just looking at some gameplay…
Also, I found it odd that I haven’t played a single game on this list. is that bad? Did I break something? Likely getting AC4 during the holidays, but that’s it. Looks like mostly sequels to games I’m not interested in. Not a fan of shooters, games with toys, simulation games.
Where’s Super Metroid? This list suck ass. MAJOR ASS.
Grand Theft Auto V, it can be on a top 10 list i don’t care but first is stupid.
Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag good but doesn’t deserve second
Pokemon X & Y sure
Gone Home …what?
Animal Crossing: New Leaf fair enough, one of the most popular games this year
The Last of Us …should be higher up but what ever
Pikmin 3 surprised this is even here, people stopped talking about that game the moment it came out
BioShock Infinite great game, deserves its spot on the list
Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, i have no clue why this deserves to be in top 10
Skylanders: Swap Force die, let albw on the list.
Having Pikmin 3 on this list is basically saying that’s the best game on the Wii U when it definitely isn’t lol.
Says who? You? Because your opinion is the law? It’s most certainly my favourite on Wii U, beside a few others!
Hmm i was more trying to get at the fact that other Wii U titles should be on the list instead of/in addition to it.
Fair enough. Haven’t played all high-rated Wii U games, including Monster Hunter 3, but my favorite ones have to be Pikmin 3, Mario 3D World, Zelda: Wind Waker HD, NSMBU+NSLU and ZombiU. Assassin’s Creed IV deserves to be on the list, but not that high! I also liked 101 very much, bu I haven’t had much time to play it yet…
So did this guy hand in his list on November 21st or something?
Probably, i hate the fact that people try and declare the GOTY before the years actually ended….. or form lists like these.
Link Between Worlds, 3D World and Pikmin 3 are my games of the year, so they all should be on the list!
Gone Home and GTA V don’t deserve it. I’d like to say Pikmin didn’t deserve it but it innovated a lot so I guess so…
1. No
2. No
3. Maybe, yes
4. Don’t know
5. No
6. Yes
7. Yes
8. No
9. Ehhhhh go on
10. Wait, what? Why do people keep say it’s so good? Do i actually need ro check it out?
I image like most “official top tens” this was made before all the games are out, otherwise Link Between Worlds and Mario 3D World would DEFINITELY be in there, so calm dooowwwn.
Otherwise, list is pretty shit, no Wonderful 101, Fire Emblem, Metal Gear Rising. Actually some games on that list are there by default because this year’s been pretty good but not overloaded with quality, just a handful of 20 or so great to amazing games
Skylanders makes me want to cut my head off. its terrible. you have to buy the game then pay like £15 basically for figures so you can use their respective character in the game. they release new characters constantly and people have spent over £1000 on their children for this piece of bollocks. You also need certain characters (they have an element or some shit) to access certain areas
Oh fuck that then.
Im still curious why people say it’s good though.
Get the feeling it’s a good game, hidden under horrible business choices.
Might be a good game but activision are sure cash cows and i refuse to support a game like this
Yea none of you guys have lives, you spend the whole day on this site
Yeah you have no life you don’t even post anything constructive on this site and instead post crap like that. fucking pleb. ironic as hell.
Yup that confirms my point even more. No life all losers
AND WHAT DO YOU DO???
LMAO WHERE IS FUCKING METROID??? THIS LIST CAN KISS MY GAPED ASSHOLE FROM DP.
Metroid didn’t come out in 2013.
Gone home should not be here. I bought it hoping for a worthwhile story only to find a two hour campaign of predictable teenage woes. Yeah its a tribute to the glorified 90s but that doesn’t make it a great game. Especially for the price! It has close to no replay value whatsoever. I love interactive games, but its so empty. Even if you do find satisfaction in the little doodads that are lying around the house, they don’t heighten the plot. I know that is my opinion, but I think of you are going to evaluate games you should look at every aspect, and not be overcome by nostalgic emotion. Fire Emblem, and SM3DW should at least, from what I’ve played be on there if Gone Home made the list.
I know these are opinions… But AC4 is number 2 and Skylanders??? I personally think steam world dig, luigis mansion, and fire emblem deserve a spot
My top 10
1. Last of Us
2. Link Between Worlds
3. Fire Emblem Awakening
4. Gta 5
5. Gone Home
6. Animal Crossing
7. Steam World Dig
8. Mario 3D world
9. Bioshock Infinite
10. Luigis mansion
Nice list. I definitely agree with your top 2.
I’m open to opinions, I really am, but…The lack Super Mario 3d World and the inclusion of Skylanders makes me upset.
I find the lack of Fire Emblem: Awakening disturbing. Best 3DS game out there, even more than ALBW and Pokémon X/Y.
Now this will be interesting.
According to VGCHARTZ the WII U outsold PS4 for the second week in a row in NA.(whatever the reason for that is)
Now will MyNintendo news give any reports on that or are they gonna ignore it and post moret awful UK news?
WHO FUCKIN CARES. NINTENDO SUCKS MAJOR ASS NOWADAYS> GO SUCK YO DADDYS DICK NINTENDRONE.
My Nintendo news should care.
We all know that PS4 is gonna outsell WII U but this site has been said to post mostly bad news and to find a negative spin on good news.
You have to fix your keyboard.
it already outsold the Wii U didn’t it? IN THE UK ALONE!!!!
It ousold the Wii U in the UK, it did not outsell the Wii U in UK alone.
PS4 has not sold 4M copies in the UK.
My point is not that WII U is “winning” but those are positive news that probably won´t get posted on this strange troll infested Ninteno news website
The list would be more accurate if Assasin’s Creed was replaced with Super Mario 3D World.
tlou and gtav need to have their spot switched.

Oh I’m sorry, because Mario 3d World and Link between Worlds totally sucked right? What the hell is wrong with them?
Pokemon definitely should be up there, same with AC:NL, but 3D World and Link between Worlds deserve a place too. Skylanders doesn’t deserve to be above either of those.
Get that Grand Theft Auto 5 out of this top 10. GTA are fucking bland games, they don’t deserve to be first at all…
I have to agree. The story was pretty awful and once you beat it, there’s not much left to do. Online is pretty fun though when you play with friends.
This list is pretty much “opinions”, so every one should have their best games (no matter PS3/4, Xbox 360/One or WiiU)…but really? Gone Home? i find more gameplay on a visual novel than that.
1. Super Mario 3D World
2. The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
3. Fire Emblem Awakening
4. Pokemon X/Y
5. Animal Crossing: New Leaf
6. Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon
7. The Last of Us
8. Grand Theft Auto V
9. Bioshock Infinite
10.Tomb Raider
I want to complain that Time doesn’t really do gaming, but Blood Dragon is on the list so they’re doing something right.
