New Super Mario Bros. 2

[Vipershark]

I haven't played Sunshine in forever (i really need to replay it) but I feel that the last legitimately good first party Nintendo games were on the Gamecube.

Sunshine, Melee, and Windwaker were all great. TP came at an awkward time between the Wii and Gamecube and while I think the GC version is better, it just doesn't compare to Windwaker. (Metroid Prime is second party so I don't count it but it wasn't good anyway. Zero Mission is the definitive Metroid game for me.)

From there, Nintendo's just been in a downward spiral for me. They've completely lost their magic and everything feels forced and lifeless now.

But even though it's relevant, think this is derailing a bit too much into general Nintendo chat instead of NSMB2 chat, so
