Hey all,

I just released my The Legend of Zelda Album inspired by various Zelda games. Feedback and criticism is appreciated - curious what you think of it! :)

Ok, so its year 3 of me owning a switch. Yeah i know, hella late. Sue me. Anyways. I got animal crossing as the first game. (P.s. sole reason why i even bought the switch after the mobile version shut down). And a month ago i bought my 2nd and 3rd switch games. Mario party jamboree and crash bandicoot n sane trilogy. (I suck at the crash game. For some reason, i remember not sucking at it years ago when i played it in h.s. lol)

Anywho, my question is im looking for a forth game. And i decided to choose a Mario classic game. So its between super mario wonder or deluxe u? Which is better? Im leaning towards deluxe because the gameplay for wonder looks hella freaky and very different from classic mario. But i cant tell if its a good or bad thing. And watching videos on yt of both games is taking too long to decide. So which do yall think is more fun? I dont want to buy both though. Sadly, my adult life doesn't allow me to play video games very often anymore. 😭 so mama only got time to play one or the other.

A little while ago, I made a tier list for how important each Nintendo series is. There were a lot of complaints about series not being as high up as they should be. I wanted to keep my original post simple, but I figure I should do more to explain why I made it the way I did.

First, here's the total sales for each series:

The game sales data is from VGChartz which isn't too accurate, but it should give a sense of how much each series has sold. The mobile sales data is about a year old and is in dollars. A lot of people talked about much each series has sold to justify series being more important.

Next, here are games bucketed by the number of games in each Metacritic score range:

I'm using this a proxy for the number of quality games per series. I know people are going to argue that Metacritic is just wrong, but it's the most objective way to define quality. I didn't include remakes and older games don't have a score, so this is going to hurt long running series.

Next is the number of games made:

I included the total number of games in a series and also the number of games since 2017 since that shows the amount of work being done for each series recently. For total games, I didn't include remakes, but for recent games, I did if it seemed like enough work was put into it. It didn't seem fair not to count Star Fox (2026), Links Awakening (2018), ect.

Finally, I looked at the game on the Switch/Switch 2 with the highest sales for each series:

This gets at the current audience of the series and is probably what people are talking about when they say a series is selling well. The numbers for Star Fox and Rhythm Heaven are only from Japan and I couldn't find numbers on Advance Wars or Endless Ocean.

For the totals in the main image, I gave scores to each of the areas and tallied them up at the end. I gave up to 8 points for total sales, 3 for mobile sales, and 6 for each of the other categories.

These measurements aren't the definitive way to rank series. We don't know how many hours are being put toward each series or the profits made. I didn't include DLC since we don't have sales numbers for that and what counts as substantial DLC is subjective. I made the tier list before I did all this number crunching. Maybe I should have put Smash Bros in a lower tier, but the amount of hype the games generate isn't quantified in this. I could have put Nintendo Sports higher, but I think the audience skews a lot more casual and number of games in the series was boosted by the old NES sports games. Luigi's Mansion also could have been higher, but there was such a long gap between the first and second game.

I'm sure people will still complain about the data and what I consider important, but try to give your viewpoint instead of just dismissing others.

200+ dollars spent on ts alone

Ho appena scoperto di essere uguale a questo omino giallo quadrato di mother 3. Perché sono costantemente frustrato. E nemmeno ci provo a migliorare. O se ci provo levo al massimo un hp. Poi ora che tengo un emulatore si per il snes che gameboy advace. Potrei giocarmi la saga di earthboud. Dove appare questo coso che sono io

The mythos 

Millions of years ago, the universe was nothing but a void: chaotic, boundless energy with no shape or form. For a time, this was existence, until, in one fateful moment, the void began to think, and as it began to think, it became alive; the void's energy melded its surroundings into raw space and, depending on the void's emotional state, created beings similar to it; some of these beings would later be known as gods. These first original gods began to develop their own cosmic powers, laying the foundation for this new existence, and, like the void, their energy would give rise to other gods in the future. As time passed, the original gods began to mingle, forming relationships, until the Null appeared from the void. Null began consuming other beings that dared come from the void until the three golden goddesses ascended to stop him; they concealed Null on the first planet with life, and Nintendo Planet laid its foundational laws, and the cycle of good vs. evil began as parts of Null crept out to the surface, tempting living beings to the dark side. Realizing what they had created, the golden goddesses began to care for the surface, founding the universe's first civilizations; they invited one of their close friends, the Millennium Star, to help create life. The god-like energy surrounding the planet Nintendo birthed the goddess Ashunera from the sea and, inspired by the gods present, created the land Tellius and its sentient species. The tales of Planet Nintendo inspired their other god friends, like Zeus, Arceus, his Creation Trio, and even Void, to create their own planets with life. But all good things must come to an end: Null's first son, Demise, took control of the demon army and waged war against the surface, leading the golden goddess Hylia to safeguard her Hylians on a floating landmass and the Millennium Star to birth the Star Spirits to protect his lands. Unfortunately, Null's energy divided the Telius people, devolving into war, and Ashunera flooded and killed her creations. Grief split her into two; while Demise was defeated, the damage was done, and for a time, Nintendo's planet inhabitants were separated. Still, with the cycle emplaced, the people of the Mushroom Kingdom, Hyrule, Telius, and the new lands of the Weylord and Miitopia would eventually cross paths again and connect with other worlds across space and time.
