Is Yoshi's Island a Mario game? It was advertised as Super Mario World 2 on the GBA IIRC. So does that make Yoshi's New Island a Mario game? If so, that's mine. QED. QUid Pro Quo

I wasn't as crazy about Yoshi's Island as everyone else (and I love muh plumber mans). I don't really like the egg throwing mechanic.

Yup lol. Good haptic feedback stuff is a complete mindfuck, I'm excited to see it used more in game controllers. Seems like the kind of thing that's easy to overdo and screw up but when done well you won't even consciously know it's there

I really liked Gothic 2 for some reason. I like games where you run around guerilla fighting things and mostly run away until you become powerful.

Speaking of, I'm playing BoTW for the first time and started in Master Mode and I basically run from everything. It's pretty cool so far.

The official title of the original release is Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island but I think the subsequent sequels don't count as they're under the Yoshi umbrella

some games came close but nothing will likely dethrone Yazkuza 0 as my favorite for this year. Had that dreamcast "purity" vibe to it where everything is just fun as gently caress, the story and writing is excellent and does drama and humor equally well, there's shitloads of side activities that are fleshed out to an insane degree, ans the presentation of everything is just perfect. It's probably one of the best games I've ever played; I'm wondering if Yakuza 6 or Kiwami 2 will reach the same heights next year.

I'd say it's more of a Mario game than Yoshi's Island because it actually kept the Mario Land 3 in Japan where it's actually the full title and Wario Land is the subtitle.

My favorite game of the year is Nier:Automata. It definitely has its flaws but the game succeeded pretty well at playing with my emotions and the final ending was one of the most memorable moments I've played through in a game. Persona 5, Yakuza 0, and BotW close behind. Honorable mention to Night in the Woods and Hellblade.

Isn't Yoshi's Island's full name "Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island"? Or am I going nuts?

Well Japan doesn't stress it's the sequel to Mario World, but for Yoshi and Wario I guess Nintendo wasn't confident enough those characters could stand on their own.

I find it funny that Yoshi is still above Luigi in terms of character branding focus. There's only room for one green dude in town Luigi my man and you are way too scrawny for mario to hitch a ride on your back

Well he didn't list Mario Maker so anything other than his classic red and blue overalls disqualifies even the true Mario from the start.

But that doesn't explain why Super Mario 64 DS wasn't listed :thunk:

Yakuza 0 in particular is a game about 1980s Japan crossed with a soap opera story, brutal brawling, and hundreds of side activities. It would also be correct to describe Yakuza 0 as a real estate and cabaret simulator with breaks to play darts, shoot pool, and smash bicycles over the heads of an entire crime syndicate. After all is said and done, you retire to your home office to write letters to a radio show in the hopes your stupid tale about helping a dominatrix restore her confidence will make the air. Also, your best friends are a man in a diaper with acute priapism, and a debt collector woman who destroys people with milk crates.
