Please allow me the indulgence of posting my Janice pop-art fanart.I have a feeling that Angel of Darkness is going to be one of the higher ones despite being the lowest score critical. I'd rank it higher for the icon that is Janice alone.

Oop I just realised I read that Capcom made it, thought that was weird, then instinctively just typed Nintendo anyway welp. Thanks for reminding me!Always interesting to see Nintendo hand the reins to someone else, like with Capcom on those guys.
Oh wow. I mean, this is one of the lesser Mario games in the canon, but as you said, it just feels weird to have something Mario related leave this early. Personally, the Game Boy was the first console, hand-held or otherwise, I ever owned, and of course I played Super Mario Land until my fingers bled.= #565

Not even ten eliminations in and we've already seen Pokémon, Zelda and Mario? Ruthless. This was the very first Mario platformer released on a handheld console and phew, can you say glo-up? Sometimes less is more though, and the sheer simplicity of this game means that someone was able to make a gif of the entire first level, so, enjoy!

Yep, that's objectively true. If Super Mario Land hadn't appeared in this rate at all, I also would not have noticed, probably. I agree with @nikkysan though, if Super Mario Land managed to get a point, the sequel should have at least...two.It's not so weird, is it? I doubt even the biggest series like Mario, Zelda and Final Fantasy will have every single game make the list, let alone all of them doing well.
And we're back!

Whew, back with a bang - the first cut from one of the big franchises! I have literally no knowledge of this game besides the fact that it had a pointless Pokémon-style dual release with Oracle of Ages - thankfully no one voted for that so I didn't have to navigate that complication. Small mercies. Hopefully some of you guys can fill in the details, 'cause imma let this cute gif do the talking:

You? Terrible at a video game?This whole level is physically imprinted on my soul. I played this to death, but my god was I terrible at it.

I feel like it's not a huge spoiler to say that we'll encounter several Fire Emblem games in the future - poor Radiant Dawn is just the unlucky first one to fall. It does have a cute blue-haired twunk protagonist though, not every JRPG has that. Almost, but not all.
