10 Kid Icarus: Uprising When I first bought this game and started playing it, the only thing I had to ask was: "Why didn't I get this game sooner?!" Seriously, this game is top notch. The cutscenes are nice, the soundtrack fits everything, and the dialogue is, undoubtedly, the best part about the game. File:Kid Icarus Uprising.jpg

9 Baten Kaitos Origins I actually emulated this game onto my computer. I was searching for more GCN games to get, and I saw Baten Kaitos Origins. I recognized it from the Gaur Plains stage in Smash 4, and so I figured, why not? And holy shit, did I make a good choice. I'm not one who's normally into RPGs, but the way this was laid out felt so good. File:Baten Kaitos Origins.jpg

8 Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy Yes, I'm putting all three into one game, because it's sold as one collective game. If you want individual opinions for each game, AA3 > AA1 > AA2. Nevertheless, I enjoyed all of these games, and there were tons of twists and turns that kept me playing. My favorite parts are the courtroom scenes, lol. File:Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy.jpg

7 Skullgirls This one was bought solely because I happened to stumble upon the wiki for the game. I gotta say, it's a really solid 2D fighter, and one of the few I've actually been able to get into. The animation is solid, the design is near flawless, and don't even get me started on all the music this game has. File:Skullgirls.jpg

6 Shovel Knight God knows how long it took me to beat this. (I'm looking at you, Propeller Knight.) That aside, this is a really great platformer. It's a nice shoutout to all the NES 8-bit platformers, with its gameplay, level design, and soundtrack, while still keeping things fresh, with its storyline and characters. File:ShovelKnight.jpg

5 Octopath Traveler I'll admit it: I'm terrible at RPGs. (Funny that this is the second one on my list.) But this one really intrigued me, all the way back when it was revealed in that Direct in 2017. I downloaded the demo, and enjoyed it completely. I was sure to stay on top of everything about the game as time went on. I also downloaded the second demo, and enjoyed that fully as well. And I was definitely sure to preorder the Wayfarer's Edition, which was absolutely worth the cost. It looks amazing, it sounds amazing, and it plays amazing. File:OctopathTraveler.jpg

4 Professor Layton and the Unwound Future Oh god, the Professor Layton series. It's a fantastic video game series that I hold very dear to me. Every game throws you on a rollercoaster of emotions and plot twists, but this game honestly does it the best. File:Professor Layton Unwound Future.png

3 Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Oh my god, this game was amazing. The soundtrack, the humor, the characters, the plot, all so amazing. It definitely mixes the Professor Layton series and the Ace Attorney series well. File:Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney.jpg

2 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate I'm a sucker for crossovers, and with characters from all these different franchises, ranging from popular franchises like Mario, Kirby, The Legend of Zelda, and Pokémon, to not as well known franchises like Game & Watch and EarthBound, to third party franchises like Metal Gear, Street Fighter, Final Fantasy and Castlevania, Ultimate is definitely one of the greatest games of all time.

1 Sonic Colors I don't even know where to begin with this game, to be honest. It was just so...colorful. The Wisps were enjoyable, the level design was great, and the soundtrack is just phenomenal. Sure, others can argue that there are other Sonic games that are better than Colors, but for me, Colors will always have a special place in my heart. File:Sonic Colors.jpg
