Top Scoring Games
In Issue 1, the magazine printed their revised review scores for GameCube, Game Boy Advance (GBA) and DS games; made by intense negotiation by the staffers. This was because they felt that review scores in NGC Magazine had been too lenient, so they used a stricter scoring system. This stricter system was used for all NGamer/Nintendo Gamer reviews.
| Score: | Games: |
| 100% | WarioWare D.I.Y. (DS) (Japanese version) (The 100% score was generally meant as a joke, seeing the game itself was based on making your own games, so they gave it full score. It is not at "Top 20" DS games in the magazines. The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is at top with 95% score.) In the redesigned Top 50 DS games (from issue 61 onward), WarioWare D.I.Y appeared with the score of 88%. The eShop re-release of the Game Boy version of Tetris was given an apparently genuine 100% score in issue 72 of the magazine. |
| 98% | Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii) The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword (Wii) |

Famous quotes containing the words top and/or games:
“You of the top hat,
Mr. God,
you of the Cross made of lamb bones,
you of the camps, sacking the rejoice out of Germany,
I tell you this . . .
it will not do.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“As long as lightly all their livelong sessions,
Like a yardful of schoolboys out at recess
Before their plays and games were organized,
They yelling mix tag, hide-and-seek, hopscotch,
And leapfrog in each other’s way all’s well.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
