ONM's top 25 games of 2008

The Official Nintendo Magazine in Europe has put together a chart of their top 25 Nintendo games for this year. This is how it looks:

  1. Mario Kart Wii
  2. Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure
  3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
  4. Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS)
  5. Okami
  6. Advance Wars: Dark Conflict (DS)
  7. Soul Bubbles (DS)
  8. Guitar Hero: World Tour
  9. De Blob
  10. No More Heroes
  11. Mega Man 9 (WiiWare)
  12. The World Ends With You (DS)
  13. Animal Crossing: City Folk
  14. Sonic Chronicles (DS)
  15. FIFA 09: All-Play
  16. Dr Mario Online Rx (WiiWare)
  17. Boom Blox
  18. Space Invaders Extreme (DS)
  19. Trackmania DS (DS)
  20. We Love Golf

  22. Final Fantasy Tactics A2 (DS)
  23. Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People (WiiWare)
  24. Call of Duty: World at War
  25. Wii Fit

What do you think of it? Don't be too surprised that World of Goo didn't make it in, since it was only released 3 days ago in the PAL region.

Boom Blox and Brawl deserved much more and honestly City Folk just wasn't that good.

Um. There's a mistake. Brawl is supposed to be #1.

World tour doesn't deserve that high of a placement.

I think we all agree that this list is far from perfect.

They completely jacked up the game engine for Mario Kart Wii, it wouldn't, no, shouldn't be near top 3. I miss the good ol' Mario Kart DS days. And how did brawl get beaten by #1 and #2 anyways?! Is Zack & Wiki that good?

Wow I thought zack and wiki didn't do too well. But I guess Europe has different results.

Mike, as it says at the bottom, World of Goo only came out 3 days ago in the PAL region. ONM love that game, it would have challenged for the top spot if it had a little more time. Aeth, I'm not too surprised. The Pokemon games are good, but they're always the same. Although, you could say the same about Animal Crossing.

Switch 1 and 3 and put TWEWY higher up for a start, then move Animal Crossing way down, then it would be a passable list.

Zack and Wiki came out in '07 not '08. And Brawl is way better than Mario Kart. Don't get me wrong, Mario Kart is a great game, but it doesn't add anything new to the series except for online.

I'm glad they made this a top 25 and not top 10 or top 20, otherwise we wouldn't see Sonic Chronicles, Strong Bad, and Call of Duty: World at War on the list.

TWEWY needs to be 1, Brawl needs to be 2, World Tour should be kicked, Rock Band 2 added.

Whoever posted this, there was a mistake. You put Mario Kart Wii in #1 instead of SSBB.
