This might seem to be a simple one while playing solo, but when you get into a multiplayer mode you get to enjoy every bit of it.

This game introduced us to power ups available in 2D games. Also the combat in this game is pretty good, along with some really cool boss battles.

This one all though is similar to other pinball games, but is also considered to be the best one of nintendo.

Another original one is the NES Metroid. The most freeing game in the series where you explore the game and also take down two bosses.

This one was on 3DS and brought back the core franchise back to life. This game is considered to be the evolution for the franchise.

Here the shooters are much better with gyro and it feels too natural to point right at the screen and move while also shooting.
