Bayonetta 2 is fucking awesome. The end.
And Wind Waker is still one of the best games ever made.

Liking Zestiria for sure.
If you dig Samurai Warriors, I'd suggest Dragon Quest Heroes, which is made by the same company in conjunction with Square Enix and Armor Project. That's the best game Omega Force has ever made IMHO.
Ni no Kuni is the one game that instantly that comes to mind for me. It's by no means the only good game I've played, but it sticks out above all others. Also Fallout: New Vegas came out within the past 5 years, so there's that. And Bayonetta 2.
Honestly, Fatal Frame isn't a bad deal. It's $50 for the full game (full games these days cost $60) so it is slightly cheaper than most of Nintendo's offerings. The launch wasn't handled great (though we're lucky to get it at all), but I think it's good for what it is.
Fun fact: According to Nintendo Power, Demon's Crest (which they picked as one of their 100 best games ever made for a Nintendo system in 1997 for Nintendo Power's 100th issue) sold so poorly that in one week more people returned than bought it, causing it to register negative sales for that week, in spite of all the positive reviews. Wonder what happened there.
Nintendo of America has always been rather iffy on what we get. I'd hoped that with the Wii U struggling like the Gamecube it would result in Nintendo making some of the same kind of deals for Wii U games that they did with Nintendo games. Nintendo of America got Tales of Symphonia published over here, after all. I really wish we had the same people handling NoA these days that they do for NoE. Reggie tends too much towards telling people what they want rather than giving people what they want.
Along with Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Dragon Quest, Tales is one of my automatic buy series.
In Okahoma, they have a sort of scavenger hunt for people into quilting which is called the Shop Hop. My mother usually participates in it. This scavenger hunt, however, takes place across the entire state and lasts for several days.
My mother is also into geocaching. I've gone on some of these geocache hunts, one of which included the childhood home of Clarence Nash, the original voice of Donald Duck, who was born and raised in Watonga, OK, and whose house is a landmark in that town.
I've beaten it thanks to how super-straightforward it is, for the most part, although it does have some clever bits.
I also liked how they managed to slip implied sex past Nintendo's censors. You can take the girl in the first village, the Princess, or both to you to the Inn (threesome!), spend the night, and the innkeeper remarks on how much noise you made last night. LOL.
Wreck-it Ralph is my favorite, it was kind of like Who Framed Roger Rabbit for video games. Other than that, my favorites are FFVII: Advent Children, Mortal Kombat, and Tales of Vesperia: First Strike.
I wasn't a fan of Tron, but I did like another 1980s video game movie, The Last Starfighter. I even had the prototype tie-in game Atari made based on the movie for its 8-bit consoles and computers that my uncle downloaded from a "warez" site in the 80s. Atari ended up dropping the movie license and reworking the game into Star Raiders II for its official release on the XE Game System.
I liked all the super-cheesy 1980s cartoon shows that were based on video games, like Saturday Supercade, H-B's Pac-Man, and of course the Super Mario Bros. Super Show/Legend of Zelda and Captain N.
