IGN - It's Nintendo's 125th anniversary! Yes, waaaay back in September 1889 "Nintendo Koppai" was founded as a playing card manufacturer. But over the last 40 years or so, Nintendo has grown into one of the most prolific, successful, and beloved video game makers anywhere.
To celebrate, all month long we're playing 125 of of the greatest Nintendo games ever made. So come on this journey with us, and relive some of our fondest Nintendo-made memories. Up now: The groundbreaking SNES kart racer Super Mario Kart!
Yagmur Sevinc from NoobFeed writes - Sometimes the genre defines the game, but sometimes the game defines a genre, and it is beautiful.
My list:
1) Demon’s Souls - set a trend for Souls games
2) Amnesia - set trend for survival horror
3) Doom - set trend for arcade FPS’
4) Arkham Asylum - set trend for OW combat
5) Hitman 2 - set standards for sandbox levels
6) MGS1 - set trend for stealth mechanics
7) LoU - set trend for games not necessarily being “fun”, and for (trying to) eliminating ludonarrative dissonance from the violence in a game’s story.
8) Death Stranding: likely to be the only game in the “strand” genre ever. I love it, especially with the Dualsense, but it’s hella niche.

Zipping around on a kart and throwing shells at other road users might sound fun, but spare a thought for the people who have to live next to it. Game Luster’s Nirav Gandhi brings us ten Mario Kart Streets you will be glad you don't live on.
There have been decades of Mario Kart games since, but Super Mario Kart remains in a class of its own.
Watch, they will complain how outdated the game is and give it an unjust review. I personally could care less when IGN plays a game.
The original is the only one I liked.
The good old days:-D
