Just stopped watching it halfway through. I could tell...
Brad was going to be super shitty around Destiny 2, as he does a lot in GotY time, but I really don't care what he has to say about this part in particular so why even listen to it?
That after they cut Mario Odyssey, that I would have no games in the running
That cuphead was going to be the winner about 5 minutes in (It's a good winner, but not what I would've picked, mostly because those platforming levels can look pretty jank).
I wasn't going to even care what their consensus opinion really is when Persona 5 isn't even mentioned.
That it would be just be better for my soul to not listen to the rest, accept it, and move on.
21 Games instead of 30, though the addition of Star Fox 2, which Nintendo has never really acknowledged as being done, was so out of left field that it never even crossed my mind.
So if you trim the list of ten games, that means no Final Fantasy IV, no Turtles in Time, no Tetris Attack, no Simcity, no NBA Jam, no R-Type, no MMX2, no Harvest Moon, no Dream Land 3, and no Final Fight 2. Honestly, if I had to choose ten games to cut, I would probably cut most of those (except keep FFIV, Harvest Moon, and Dream Land 3 in exchange for F-Zero, Star Fox, and Super Mario Kart).
DKC 1 instead of 2, because of course they would grab the inferior-but-more-well-known one.
No All-Stars at all, which was surprising. We're getting Super Mario World, of course, but figured they would have included All-stars as another title.
An inferior version of Street Fighter II, though I guess they want to make way for the Switch game? Or something?
Contra made it on the list, a game I'm not overly fond of but somehow is synonymous with that console. Yeah, because that was a better choice than Chrono Trigger...
And, other than that, I hit the other 16 out of the park. Which is not that hard when a lot of those were gimmes.
This is the lowest a publication I've seen has scored Colour Splash and I still think it's rated too high.
A game where a large percentage of it is so fundamentally broken on a design, implementation, and gameplay level should be considered just an outright failure.
