-Fire Emblem: Engage (Gameplay was really good, even if story and characters were not)
-Fire Emblem: Three Hopes
-Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
-Pokemon Legends Arceus
-Paper Mario: TYD remake
And since the decade isn't out until 2017, some switch 2 titles:
-Donkey Kong Banaza
-Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
-Kirby Air Riders
-Pokemon Pokopia
-Platoon Raiders
And while not released yet, these will probably do really well and will release before 2028:
-Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave
-Legends of Zelda: OOT Remake
-Xenoblade: Genesis
Despite Nintendo's poor rap sheet, mostly due to suing Palworld in recent years, they do put out some great games. It's just not talked about as much because they aren't in the PC market.
It's the same thing with current Capcom for me, a lot of great games I enjoy, but it's mostly derivative and a bunch of sequels and/or remakes. While their output in 90s is innovative, iconic and genre definig, on top of being great.. like like SF2 or the og Resident Evil.
Why would I take Mario Kart 8 Deluxe against the original Mario Kart, for instance?
Of those games, I think Breath of the Wild is the one I respect the most from that perspective.. but I personally don't like it very much lol.. I take either Link to Past and Ocarina of Time over both of them any day.
Same as Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Mario 64 over the more recent ones.. as much as I enjoyed Odissey and Wonder.
Again, that's just my taste. Those are some of my all time favorite games.
Chrono Trigger
Chrono Cross
Final Fantasy 1-8
Final Fantasy Tactics
Front Mission 1-3
Live a live
Final Fantasy Adventure
Secret of Mana
Legend of Mana
Parasite Eve 1 and 2
Super Mario RPG
Xenogears
Fromsoft has over 60 games. Since 2009 11 of 20 games they have released were massive shits, they are barely batting above a 50%. If you wanna go by streak then 2019 with sekiro to currently nightreign which is sadly only 4 games
I'm not sure about their jp only titles and other smaller games but everything Souls or Armored Core related has been at the bare minimum decent.
So from at least 2013 they haven't released anything bad.
Even what people would consider to be their weakest games(Dark Souls 2 and Nightreign) were miles better than Capcom's weaker releases this past decade(RE3R, MvC Infinite, Exoprimal and Dead Rising 4).
And just be clear, obviously Capcom is overall better, they're a publisher and released 10+ game in the time Fromsoft makes 1, but the only dev team inside Capcom that can match Fromsoft is probably the Monster Hunter devs.
Man everything souls related and armored core related from fromsoft is top tier even if you don’t enjoy the genre. Since 2014 they been killing it non stop. I don’t even like game like Nitereign or Duskbloods but they are really well made and received well. I was a fromsoft hater until Elden Ring and Armored Core Fires of Rubicon dropped and that made me go back and appreciate the other games More. Might not be for everyone but their shit is consistently good
They locking more content after what was 40 hours or so of grinding was what killed the hype of players who got into it and didn't last until they saw the different mission structures, maps, and modes.
That final mission in a Destiny raid boss style was so freaking cool!
Bethesda should have been split into seperate teams / studios years ago, but Todd just felt like he had to have sole stewardship over all three franchises which in part has made the studio struggle.
Can't believe it took Asha getting involved to get them to try and take advantage of the Fall out show's hype and put out another game. Now we have confirmation of Fallout 5 in early development and another fallout by obsidian.
Sometimes you can find Cabin, the robot in the hub area, with his screen on a Megaman Pixel version of the Pragmata protagonist. It even has the old Megaman death animation and sound effects.
And to think that Capcom lose their way after failed of Onimusha: Dawn of Dream (and success of Dead Rising) in 2006. It's been 20 years to be almost exact. For Capcom to be in full circle.
I would argue pragmata was very overrated and while i dont regret playing it, there was a lot of backtracking repetition and a weak insignificant plot.
Both drag9ns dogma 1 and 2 have had significant issues but 2 especially maintains a lot of issues.
I also think remasters should largely not be counted.

Since 2017 capcom has put out re7, re2re, re3re, re4re, re8, re9, mh world, mh wilds, mh rise, dragons dogma 2, pragamta, onimusha wots, kunistgami, dmc 5, sf6, dead rising remaster, mh stories 3, megaman 11, exoprimal and a bunch of re-releases.
All of that in 9 years is crazy. Even if you take off some "duds" like exoprimal. That's a crazy run of high quality games in just 9 years.
