Top 10 Worst Nintendo Games

The Top Ten

  1. Hotel Mario

    This is definitely the pinnacle of bad Nintendo games (unless you take into account Mario Kart Tour's microtransactions lol). Looking past the memorable cutscenes, the gameplay is monotonous and is a blatant clone of Elevator Action. Also, this came out in 1994, the same year as Super Metroid, why were they still making big console titles this limited?

    Why does this game really exist?

    This game is horrendous because YouTube Poop is addicted to this game. Horrible controls, poor framerate, this is one of the worst of the Mario games and should be removed from the Mario canon.

  2. Mario's Early Years: Preschool Fun

    Honestly, this game is mostly just fun to mess with. "The princess got a big can" instead.

    At least it's on a Nintendo console *cough* hotel *cough* Mario *cough*

    Game grumps is the only thing that gave this game positives

  3. Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon

    Honestly, I think Zelda's Adventure is worse than the two earlier CDi titles... at least the earlier ones have those classic animated cutscenes. Zelda's Adventure is just plain bad all around.

    This game is such a hot mess. The writing sucks, with the adventure in the game not starting until the console startup, the main character is deemed as a hero without doing...anything, and not being a hero, all of the characters are ridiculously flat and irritating, and the plot is extremely choppy, and the unfortunate implications of undeserved credit, with the fact that this game led up to nothing. The annoyance in this game being HUGE, the voice acting is very dull and uninspired, and this game is just a fudging chore to sit through. A pathetic, annoying, poorly-written film that is definitely a dark spirit amongst the canon.

  4. Wii Music

    Honestly, this was overall a mediocre effort on Nintendo's part. It honestly should've had more Nintendo flair than what it actually had. But hey, at least this game put in the groundwork for Trombone Champ!

    I disagree that this was a bad game, it was rather entertaining, in fact. While the easy songs may have been a little less exiting than others, the Orchestra was a heck of a whole lot of fun.

    This is a bad game, but there are much much much worse monstrosities way farter down that deserve to be number one or higher, Superman 64, The Zelda Cd-I games, and more

  5. Paper Mario: Sticker Star

    Literally a nigh-complete joke on the series. The plot is as basic as basic can get (I get that PM64 also had a basic plot, but was made up by a memorable cast), there's no default attack (if you run out of stickers... game over...), Kersti is a complete wad and the game overall is very linear.

    From what I know, Nintendo get rid of the story, wich was a mistake from them..

    without the story, it wasn't simple for me to know what to do, what I should use in a level, I had to search on the internet for that.

    the main plot is reduced to.. saving the princess, I know this is not new, but even the other Paper Mario have a different way for that.

    the supportive character is annoying and serve no real purpose for the game, you can learn how to use a power, how many stickers you can use in combat, and... it's all, simply useless after that.

    the game, despite these flaws, is quite nice to play and the ost fit the levels of the game, I just expected more but I'm not entirely dissapointed.

  6. Donkey Kong Jr. Math

    This is probably the worst of the black box titles. At least with Urban Champion you can get some fun out of that, but this is just math. Slow, monotonous math. It's not even made fun like Math Blaster or something like that, it's just boring.

    I didn't care for it much, but it is still really hard to find for the NES. It was a terrible way to teach math, but overall, personally, I would probably put it at,at least, after Link: The faces of Evil on the list.

    Seriously, this is fourth worst video game I've ever played in my entire life!

  7. Metroid: Other M

    The game is all over the place... I get that Metroid doesn't sell as well in Japan compared to the rest of the world, but that doesn't mean you just make a story that's just... well...

    Ok look it isn't the best Metroid game ever because personally Super Metroid is probably the best Metroid game, but it isn't terrible. The voice acting could use some work but when Samus isn't talking she looks like a bad ass. It also looks pretty good too. I would give it a fair try. Did we all forget when Samus ripped apart that one winged alien? That part was really awesome. I think we are all a little too upset over the voice acting. I know there is someone out there who could act like Samus perfectly but sadly this girl wasn't it. She was okay at best. Oh and by the way Federation force has Samus in it, and it's the one from the prime series, also I heard the game-play is fun so I think we are going to be okay. Too bad Federation Force wasn't shown properly though.

  8. Animal Crossing: Amiibo Festival

    Not even Isabelle's adorable little face can convince me otherwise that this game is a waste of money that's not even fun.

    I don't hate this game because it isn't animal crossing Wii U, I hate it because the game made me open up my amiibos :'(

    Literally an Amiibo Tap Simulator. Do I even need to be more exact?

  9. Volleyball

    Honestly, why is this top 10? It's not even bad...

  10. Hey You, Pikachu!

    I thought it was good when I herd about it but then I played it and I basically failed because I couldn't figure out how to get the pikachu to do what I wanted it to do probably because of the bad voice control.

    This should be remade in the 3DS eShop, but with actually good voice controls, and actually getting to control Pikachu a reasonable amount. I would buy it.

    The game is so boring and it drives me nuts that the microphone is used for kids with high voices

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    Nintendo Switch Sports

    The game along with Mario strikers battle league was released unfinished. This game also lacks the Nintendo charm. And 3 of the games are the same thing. Wii sports will and always be better than this game.

  12. ?

    Mario Tennis Aces

    13. The Contenders

  13. Clu Clu Land

  14. Super Smash Bros. 64

    This game was literally what started the whole Smash Bros Franchise! It's pretty amazing to see a game like this back in the 64's good ol' days!

    Amazing game why has the TOPTEN developers put this here it is a revolutionary masterpiece by HAL labrotories who also created Kirby

    I'm gonna falcon punch whoever put this as an option.

  15. Urban Champion

    This game was fun it doesn't deserve to be on here

  16. Mario Kart: Double Dash

    How won't people see how utterly lousy this entire game even is? It's so overrated and there shouldn't be another game like this. I would be ok if MK9 had single kart and double dash modes though.

    I agree that this game is good and probably shouldn't be on the list. However, in my opinion it isn't great for a Mario Kart game.

    Only the Mario Kart series that you can pick two characters and it's considered one of the worst?

    Okay, okay, some people don't like this game, but I think very fun.

  17. Mario Party: Island Tour

    To me, this is more of a 3DS version of Mario Party 9. Does anyone agree with me? I have a 3DS XL system, but I'm not really going to buy it. I would prefer Mario Party 9, or the DS version of Mario Party. Since Nintendo has announced the 10th installment of Mario Party A.K.A. Mario Party 10 for the WiiU, I feel like Nintendo is repeating its own history when they released the first Mario Party game for the Nintendo 64, then they made two sequels to it, which were Mario Party 2 & Mario Party 3. Mario Party 1, 2, and 3 were pretty much the same thing, but have a few differences. They were still fun, despite the fact that friendships are ruined by it, but I find that completely ridiculous. Seriously people, how could your friendships be ruined by Mario Party? Whatever, I'm getting off topic. The first Mario Party games were all on the Nintendo 64, but that when the Nintendo 64 was popular. Now, that there's new systems like from Wii, to WiiU & from DS, to DSi, to DSi XL, to 3DS, to 3DS XL, to 2DS, there are three games that seem the same with a few differences. Take a look at this.

    Past: Mario Party, Mario Party 2, & Mario Party 3 (Nintendo 64)

    Present: Mario Party 9 (Wii), Mario Party:Island Tour (3DS) & Mario Party 10 (Wii U)

    If you may already tell, Nintendo is doing the same thing with Mario Party 9, Island Tour & 10. They're still fun. I guess since they're the same game & this is what we love since the 1990's, I guess they can keep it. Besides, you know what they say? If it's not broken, don't fix it. One more thing & this is a question. WHY IS THIS ON THE LIST IF IT'S NOT EVEN A BAD GAME?

  18. Mario is Missing!

    Worst Mario game alongside Mario's Time Machine!

  19. Mario Clash

    This game is AWESOME! Seriously, why hate this game? The graphics are awesome although this game is only black & red. I mean, come on! The Virtual Boy I great despite being a hard-to-use commercial failure.

    Whoever put mother over this is gonna get a warlock punch to the face

    I've never heard of this game before.

  20. 1-2-Switch

    A bad party game, really nintendo?

  21. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword

    This has one of the worst stories in the history of stories. Link and Zelda should not be together, and they made her such an annoying bratty crybaby. Link's expressions are way too exagerrated and cartoonish, it's unrealistic. They need to just stick with stoic zelda and make her a better version of the Twilight Princess one.

    Oh, I also hate the ending of this game, it was way too melodramatic.

    Remember Egoraptor? He hates this game so much. Other game reviewers like IGN give this game a total score of 10. Just because you admit this is the best Zelda game ever made, doesn't mean this is the best Zelda game ever.

  22. Stack Up

    This game was part of an attempt to recover from the video game depression. If it had more development, it could've been better.

  23. Metroid Prime: Federation Force

    Where do I even start with this one?

    First of all, Samus is completely absent from the story. Second of all, a lot of the aspects used in other Metroid games are missing. Altogether it just feels like a different game to begin with. And that is the reason why Federation Force is the worst game in the Metroid series.

    It hasn't came out yet, but based on trailers, I don't think you can even play as Samus Aran. And its on the 3DS(I'm not a Nintendo hater). I can see the pixels on the screen. It's basically Metroid Prime Multiplayer. So I don't think it'll be good.

  24. Devil's Third

    This isn't made by Nintendo, it's just a third party game for the Wii U

  25. Metroid

    This game is good. It is very hard though.

  26. Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

    Holy crap why just why I love this game

  27. New Super Luigi U

    "New Super Luigi U is totally worth the money! For an extra $20, you can play as LUIGi in New Super Mario Bros U! "

    -Nobody

    Everyone: do we really wanna spend even more money on just playing as Luigi and Nabot?

    Danteem: I WILL PAY ALL OF MY MONEY FOR THIS OML (oh my Luigi) THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVER!
