8) Pikmin 3

We’ve waited a very long time for Pikmin 3. The last Pikmin game came out a whole two generations ago on the Gamecube, so the new game just had to be good. We weren’t disappointed. Pikmin 3 is one of Nintendo’s most creative and fun games, with plenty of little critters with special abilities to play with, and some really cool puzzles to work out. Pikmin 3 is a game you just feel really happy playing, and if that isn’t the sign of a great game, we don’t know what is!
