Donkey Kong TF getting robbed left and right.
Too hardcore for core-gamers.
It's an inside joke. The editors love the big Nintendo franchises and sometimes make fun of themselves when they give a new game a 9 by saying they're N-sex.
It's called second degré. Look it up.

How improbable that a video game site would use a video game meme.
There's nothing second degré about what you said.
Good stuff from gamekult readers, not surprised about dungeon of the endless being up there seeing the amount of good coverage it got from the site. Very surprised to see TBS though, I thought people would have forgotten about it by now.

I would be willing to buy 2 games from that top 10, and I'm sure as shit not buying a console just for one of them.
News at 10, random people give Nintendo random award for the first time!

At least we know better that DKTF is the best 2D Platformer in history.
Dead serious.

The Baton of Verity sounds so much classier than the Stick of Truth.

Hey, that's what I've been playing this year. Though I've been playing a bit of my PS Vita and my Nintendo 3DS, too.
I've been playing lots of fun games on Steam like Valkyria Chronicles and things. Since Steam has been getting lots of fun Japanese games. And the Wii U there lots and lots of fun games.
I've had so much fun with Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8 and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

Bayonetta 2 is an 'efing masterpiece, not sure about MK 8 though. Haven't played Smash Wii U, but the 3DS one is a blast to play. DKCTF deserves more recognition IMO. Anyway, Nintendo deserves the credit, they are pulling some great games in a consistent basis.
Looking forward to next year, 2015 hopefully will be an epic year going only by the name of the franchises that every major publisher plans on releasing.

Nah man, SM3DW wasn't disappointing at all. I know many here hate on it's sales, but it seems to be well past 2.5 million already and on its way to 3 million, which is great. Still the best game on the Wii U imo.

Well deserved. However this right here, is nonsense.

Well, the French do have good taste. I'd put DA:I over MK8 though. Mario Kart was fun but it's pretty barebones.
3DWorld was "good" but let's not get carried away...

Nice, but no Tropical Freeze on top 10 hurts. Is easily my favourite Wii U game 
Au contraire, I think is fresher because Returns reuses much of DKC1 ideas, settings and music, while TF has more a flavour of its own.

PC is not a console and as I said Wii U was the second system of the year behind it.
Ugh, that fucking "master race" image.
I've noticed this too, the French seem to have more of an affinity for Japanese games than the crap we buy over the channel. You can see the Japanese influence in some of the games Ubisoft puts out, like Rayman, M&M Clash of Heroes, Child of Eden etc
So good.

It's kind of disturbing to me that a European publication uses the "master race" pic without any kind of satire or self awareness.
Tasteless.
Tasteless.
And yet, according to that chart, WiiU only beat PS4 by less than 1%. At least, if those commas in the charts are supposed to be decimal points.
I was just saying to myself upon reading the OP this is a pretty big burn against Ubisoft for their fellow countrymen to look down on their games and now I see the hits to their reputation are even more severe.
I wonder how the French gamers fully feel about Unity's accuracy with their history.

Why do they should have special consideration because they are French ?

Vita above 3DS and PC above PS4 and XBone? This is why I love gamekult.
He sadely don't work there anymore.

Technically the Vita is below the 3DS. Anyone figure out why? Are the percentages wrong or is there a layout mistake?

Why not? Both are incredibly fun.

But they're so iterative compared to fresh experiences like the new Assassins Creed game or Far Cry 4
