Honorable mention: Virtua Fighter (1993) - It changed the 3D fighting game genre. R-Type (1987) - Changed the side-scrolling shoot 'em up genre. Sonic the Hedgehog (1991) Contra (1988) - Changed the Run and Gun genre. Final Fight (1989) - This classic arcade game helped popularize the beat 'em up genre forever!
Had a NES, SNES, N64, 3DS, Switch, PS1, PS2, and PS3. Played so many of the games, on this list. 40 years of gaming. And, now I get experience, playing these with my kids.
I never got a 3DS or a Switch. But I still got the PS4, Pro, and 5. I still have my NES, and it works. SNES doesn’t anymore, but it still has a home here. N64 is off and on. I’ll never get rid of them.
It made so many leaps forward in a space that was clunky and unintuitive. And then the amount of worlds and levels and features and size was really unparalleled and almost couldn't have been imagined before it came out.
Tecmo super bowl should be on the list. Considering how popular madden is. Tecmo super bowl was the first to actually allow you to see stats. Have injuries. Change plays. It was the first to start to goto a more simulation type football
This list has some flaws, but the biggest one is not having Tomb Raider, which was undoubtedly spectacular for its time, being tremendously influential
No mention of Civilization, Warcraft/StarCraft/Command and Conquer, Ultima, Wing Commander, King's Quest, or any racing/flight sim games. All successful series which have spawned entire genres.
When Metal Gear Solid first came out there was NOTHING like it. My two best experiences on PlayStation were that and Final Fantasy 7 since that was my first experience with an RPG outside of Mario RPG.
I think you kind got the Metroid entry wrong. It was later games that made the idea of a Metroidvania a thing not the original games in the series. It was Super Metroid and Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night that started the Metroidvania sub-genre proper. The original Metroid had traces of what would eventually become of that sub-genre but it wasn't realized until Super Metroid and that should the entry on here.
Super Metroid is one of the best games ever! They took the original and game boy versions and made it 100 times better in every way, I own this game with a original SNES and still play it to this day
Honorable mentions: Donkey Kong Star Fox Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! Super Mario Kart Quake Super Smash Bros Double Dragon Duke Nukem 3D Sonic the Hedgehog Castlevania Symphony of the Night
I know this is a little bit more niche, so I get why's not on the list, but the Mother series inspired a generation of indie developers to create masterpieces like Undertale, Lisa, Eastward and even South Park: The Stick of Truth. I'll always love "Mother-like" games
@@Foebane72 I said "a little more" niche, mostly refering to the inspiration source, Mother, which at this point the third entry hasn't even been localized. Pretty famous? Yes. As much as the ones on the list? No. Hence, "a little more" niche.
@@Foebane72 If we went by games inspired by, most of the entries on the list would have niche titles associated with them since we would need to account for all the indie developers they inspired, so I purposely selected the most famous titles the Mother series inspired to make my point, which clearly went over your head.
Honestly Wii sport was a true revolution that brought non video game players to gaming, it should have been in the top 10 3 games that I would have expected in the list and pretty well ranked but that you didn't include 1) Mario kart, it brought a completely different vibe to racing games 2) sonic the hedgehog with the incredible speed 3) bomberman and its never ending multi-player fights
@@corymiller536 To me, Original and Remake Resident Evil 4 are the best. Resident Evil 6 surely is every RE fan's least favorite, but it's personally mine, and I highly enjoyed that game's combat.
Games that I feel are missing: "Dune 2"...the game that started my journey into real time strategy games like Warcraft and Command and Conquer. "Civilization"...turn-based strategy games OWE their existence to this game's popularity. "Star Control II"...open world exploration coupled with RPG characteristics and battle format made it years ahead of its time.
FFX-2, while not being as epic as FFX for its story, had really good gameplay. Also what you're saying is more of an insult to FFX, saying it doesn't deserve a sequel.
Excuse me, but why is there no mention of Gears of War? Granted, it wasn't the first shooter game to utilise the tactical cover mechanic, but it was the game that truly revolutionised the feature in third person shooters that followed in the years after its release, including Uncharted, Spec Ops: The Line, Max Payne 3, Tom Clancy's The Division and Deus Ex: Human Revolution
No Call of Duty 4? Considering it spawned a near endless amount of clones, pretty much popularised the custom loadout and is a formula that is still going strong 15+ years later
Sonic the hedgehog should be on this list. As the face of Sega's challenge to Nintendo's dominance, he ignited a console war that fueled innovation and competition. Sonic's popularity also helped to expand the gaming audience, attracting a new wave of players who were drawn to his rebellious spirit and high-octane adventures beyond the games themselves.
I'm gonna copy paste my previous answer like you just did. That's not what reinventing gaming means... being popular or rebellious or starting a console war has nothing to do with game design.

@@kidarachnid6262 Don't get me wrong, it's a good, very popular game and what you're saying is true to a certain extent but as a game, it didn't do anything new.
I believe Pong should have really been #1. It popularized gaming to the masses in general. It created the first home gaming craze (pong clone machines in the home), created a video arcade industry, and future home console companies like Nintendo got their start producing Pong clones. It is possible that without Pong, Nintendo may have never made arcade classics and created a home console. Therefore no Mario 64 or other great entries on this list. You really can't get more influential than that unless you want to go back as far as Tennis for Two.
Resident Evil, Wii Sports, DRAGON QUEST, Pokemon Red & Blue, Resident Evil 5, Metal Gear Solid, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of TIme, GoldenEye 007, Batman: Arkham Asylum, BioShock, Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, FINAL FANTASY VII, The Sims, HALO: Combat Evolved, Metroid, PAC-MAN, Grand Theft Auto III, Minecraft, Mortal Kombat, The Legend of Zelda, TETRIS, Super Mario Bros., and Super Mario 64.
I fail to see how Zelda OOT, Batman, Mortal Kombat, RE5, Bioshock, FF7 or Halo reinvented gaming. These are great games but didn't reinvent anything. I love FF7 but it didn't do anything new other than being in 3D. Zelda OOT only added the targeting system (only thing I consider worth mentioning for the sake of this list), 3D games and the Zelda formula were already established. MK simply put blood in a fighting game, RE5 was just another Survival Horror, Halo was just a very popular FPS. Batman is just a great 3D Action Adventure game, nothing new. Even Pokemon is kind of a stretch, it did popularize the genre and was a huge phenomenon but it's 100% inspired by Dragon Quest Monsters and Dragon Quest 5. I get why it's here but it didn't invent anything.

I never understand the exclusion of realistic sports games based on real athletes. Games like Madden, FIFA, 2K and their even earlier predecessors (Tecmo Bowl, etc.) were crucial to bringing some people to video games.
@cranstonhunter2163 my first video game ever was Super Mario Land on the original Game Boy. But if I think of video games in general, the first character I'm going to think of is Mario in 3D But my point was before Super Mario Bros, there was Mario bros, Donkey Kong, radar scope, Game & Watch, etc
I would say Brain Age introduced that playing video games with simple reading, writing, and arithmetic can improve how you mind works and Art Academy which is a digital art teacher.
No Gamers were consulted when making this Ranking, where there? If they were, we'd also have some Strategy in there (at least Starcraft). And no sports games, except for a small mention when talking abou the WiU... But there are lots of platformers. Lame!
So many iconic games! Batman Arkham Asylum. Good voice acting? Fantastic,phenomenal! Finished for xxtime maybe two hours ago. I have Sims to Sims 4😊First one too😀GTA III,GTA:Vice City,I have San Andreas too😀Played very first one too,and 2.Legend of Zelda-hours of playing with mom. Dad and me watching. Entire nights with Nintento. Mom and dad played when I was asleep too. Super Mario-legendary! Played with mom like nuts. Mortal Kombat-simply amazing. Played when first ones came out. I have Komplete Edition)first ever basically).I played Tetris and Pac-Man too.Many great games too. Half-Life,DOOM,Resident Evil,Metal Gear. Havent played but they look great. I remember playing Princess Anastasia game too. Point and click. Extremely entertaining,funny. Mom and I laughed😀Donkey Kong also legendary. Thanks for this. Great nostalgia and childhood. Great moments! Great list
I've played "Pac-Man", "Super Mario Bros.", "Super Mario 64", "Wii Sports", "Street Fighter II: The World Warrior", "Half-Life", and "Halo". I've watched my sibling play "Minecraft" on his phone and streamers play "World of Warcraft" and "Super Mario 64". Also, now I know the full name of "Street Fighter II". The other games on this list seem great!
@ They are, to a certain extent. I can tell you that playing Super Mario Bros from 1985 and Sonic from 1991 are not the same experience. Sonic is more dynamic and bold and it shows in the gameplay
Surprised Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night wasn't in there. Opened the door for and basically created the "MetroidVania" gametype. Solid list though.
I played a LOT of these on your list. Particularly Mario, Zelda, Halo, Batman Arkham City, Super Mario 64, and The Legend Of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. My favorite games though, however, are: Spider-Man, Star Wars Battlefront II, Uncharted, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Survivor, the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, Kingdom Hearts franchise, Super Mario franchise, Injustice 1 and 2, Call Of Duty, and, dare I say it, Fortnite. I’m surprised that that game wasn’t on the list, it was the first game to start battle royales, after all.
most will say PUBG was the first battle Royale type game, but H1Z1 had the first battle Royale mode that predated PUBG and Fortnite. the Day Z mod for Arma 2 predated all of those, but that was only a mod, and not a true BR gane.
Honestly i think this list is decent. Maybe some I would raise or lower but its pretty good. One game I would have added would be Diablo. Prob diablo 2. That game was what basically created the ARPG genre. Just like doom clones, you had diablo clones.
International Superstar Soccer has dated but at the time it represented the greatest evolutionary step in football gaming - compare fifa 96 to ISS and you will see the difference
Elite (1984) The first free roaming 3D game with non-passn through vector graphics. It was also a pioneer in procedural generation; thousands of unique star systems all contained in just a few thousand kilobytes.
Left out Fallout or more specifically Wasteland. True it can be categorized as a top down RPG and eventually FPS RPG but a lot of core aspects of the game can't even be said without hitting pangs of nostalgia. The genre itself also kind of remade the idea of post-Apocalypse survival type games. Another one would have been the God of War franchise, especially when it transitioned from its console to some of the best in depth character & story creation.
Not sure how many will agree but I think Kingdom Hearts should've made the list. Sure action RPGs existed long before it but the concept of two polar opposites properties colliding AND doing it successfully is huge
How can Doom not be #1?? Back in the day it was installed on more machines than Windows and started the “can it run Doom” craze to install it on almost anything with a CPU.
Sim City? The first massively popular building simulator. Wing Commander, the first cinematic flight sim. War Craft, the first real time RPG. Or are we scoped to just consoles?
007 is at least #10. Not as many care about graphic detail as some might think. It was a game made in what 1997? Graphics it had were pretty good for back then. How many other games on this list could be played 4 player's on 1 screen? Game is like 10/10 would buy again and play everyday, if I still had friends.
History is written by the victors. There is a distinct lack of Sega titles here. Those that were there remember the impact of the Master System, Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast 😊 (unlike the author of this list) Also, if it weren't for Sega, Mortal Kombat might not be what it is today! Nintendo was too cowardly to add the blood and all the great things the title is known for today!
First, Mortal Kombat on Snes had the blood, you just needed a code and it was there from the start in MK2, MK3 and UMK3 so that point isn't valid. Also you didn't even mention one title from Sega, only hardware. In my opinion only Virtua Fighter is the only Sega game that should be there for what it did for 3D fighting games.

Used to wait in line at summer camp back in 98 to play this game.

Surprised Castlevania: Symphony Of The Night wasn't in there. Opened the door for and basically created the "MetroidVania" gametype. Solid list though.
I will never understand how people enjoy Minecraft.

I’m surprised that that game wasn’t on the list, it was the first game to start battle royales, after all.
most will say PUBG was the first battle Royale type game, but H1Z1 had the first battle Royale mode that predated PUBG and Fortnite. the Day Z mod for Arma 2 predated all of those, but that was only a mod, and not a true BR gane.

Super Mario 64 being no. 1 right after Suigi did the impossible in speedrunning SM64 seems appropriate
Pretty fantastic list.
FFVII & HALO!
FF7 is my favourite game but didn't reinvent anything.
Not a fan of FF 7,but it was a major influence for jrpgs in the ps era
@@zengram It was but it didn't reinvent the formula, it popularized it.
@domx7zero157 like gears of war cover system
International Superstar Soccer has dated but at the time it represented the greatest evolutionary step in football gaming - compare fifa 96 to ISS and you will see the difference
Portal, Gran Turismo, Rocket League, Quake, League of Legends, H1Z1, FF14
Shocking that Command & Conquer isn't included in this list. Also, to put Mortal Kombat above Street Fighter is WILD.
Elite (1984)
The first free roaming 3D game with non-passn through vector graphics. It was also a pioneer in procedural generation; thousands of unique star systems all contained in just a few thousand kilobytes.
Left out Fallout or more specifically Wasteland. True it can be categorized as a top down RPG and eventually FPS RPG but a lot of core aspects of the game can't even be said without hitting pangs of nostalgia. The genre itself also kind of remade the idea of post-Apocalypse survival type games.
Another one would have been the God of War franchise, especially when it transitioned from its console to some of the best in depth character & story creation.
Diablo 2 basically invented an entire genre as did Warcraft1 and 2. Command and Conquer too. VERY glaring omissions.
Super Mario 64 is the greatest game of ALL TIME!!! It's a holiday December tradition replaying it!🤗🌟🎄
God of War is the greatest combination of story, puzzles and combat.
"Samus is a woman!"
That's more or less the "Rosebud!" of video games. 😎
Mortal Kombat is to Video games what NWA was to Hiphop 😂.
Pokemon Yellow, Age of Empires II, Maplestory, Fortnite, Amazon New World 🖤💜💜💜💜💜
Not sure how many will agree but I think Kingdom Hearts should've made the list. Sure action RPGs existed long before it but the concept of two polar opposites properties colliding AND doing it successfully is huge
Super Mario BROTHERS, not BROS. It's like nails on a chalkboard when he says "bros"
How can Doom not be #1?? Back in the day it was installed on more machines than Windows and started the “can it run Doom” craze to install it on almost anything with a CPU.
I don't think being installed on lots of machines counts as reinventing gaming.
Red Faction should definitely been on this list. It is one of the first if not the first game to allow you to manipulate the environment.
love the list
Duck Hunt, which arguably inspired other auxiliary control games like Guitar Hero.
Sim City? The first massively popular building simulator. Wing Commander, the first cinematic flight sim. War Craft, the first real time RPG. Or are we scoped to just consoles?
I can handle about an hour of "rage Souls" and the anger boils inside me 😂
Shemnue should be on this list. First time I played a real living open world game and introduced us toquick time events.
007 is at least #10. Not as many care about graphic detail as some might think. It was a game made in what 1997? Graphics it had were pretty good for back then. How many other games on this list could be played 4 player's on 1 screen? Game is like 10/10 would buy again and play everyday, if I still had friends.
Great list guys, im 40 so i played every1 of these games i agree with almost every game u pick what time to b alive
When nes came out did we ever think the graphics would be this great nowadays!?
killer instinct , pro evolution soccer , gran turismo, pokémon game boy
Out of all the ones here, seeing Batman Arkham Asylum depresses me the most. Hopefully, Arkham Shadow keeps a forward momentum for the franchise.
good choices, the order is weird but the first 7 places are very well to me, hey no Donkey Kong Country? Smash Brothers or race games?
You should’ve included sonic and Megaman
History is written by the victors. There is a distinct lack of Sega titles here. Those that were there remember the impact of the Master System, Genesis, Saturn, and Dreamcast 😊 (unlike the author of this list)
Also, if it weren't for Sega, Mortal Kombat might not be what it is today! Nintendo was too cowardly to add the blood and all the great things the title is known for today!
First, Mortal Kombat on Snes had the blood, you just needed a code and it was there from the start in MK2, MK3 and UMK3 so that point isn't valid. Also you didn't even mention one title from Sega, only hardware. In my opinion only Virtua Fighter is the only Sega game that should be there for what it did for 3D fighting games.
