It’s very hard to choose between this one and the original, which we may or may not revisit in a bit, but both Galaxy games see Nintendo at its creative peak, and it’s a crying shame that you can still only play the first one on Switch.Taking 12th place is the sequel to Persona 4 Arena: Persona 4 Arena Ultimax. Galaxy 2 has less of a story focus than its predecessor, but that means it takes less time to get to all the glorious gravity-manipulating platforming Nintendo serves up, and this time Yoshi is along for the ride. This is also a game for the Mario hardcore, with some of the later levels really testing your skills. Nintendo rarely makes direct sequels to it’s Mario games, but when the idea is as good as the original Super Mario Galaxy it’s very much a case of more is more. And the 3D effect not only made the game look amazing, but also informed the gameplay too. Įssentially a blend of the 2D and 3D branches of the franchise, the game nimbly bounces between free-roaming and fixed-camera segments while being a total blast throughout. It was Nintendo’s task to make the visual depth capabilities of the 3DS handheld seem like more than a mere gimmick, and the company nailed it brilliantly with Super Mario 3D Land.
