IGN's Top 100 Games Of All Time - 2017 List
(Here's the first of those "bonus" posts I told you all about, this is IGN's list of the top 100 games of all time, as of early 2017, ITTL. It's based on their OTL lists from 2016 and 2018, though there are a lot of changes other than the TTL games, I mostly used those lists as sort of a guidepost for the general tastes of their editors, though butterflies would make some of those different than IOTL.)

Looking at that list and seeing the ratio of Sega/Apple games compared to Nintendo games and no Genesis Sonic or Phantasy Star, I’m betting it has a very colorful comment section. Not saying it’s bad, that’s a very believable list from IGN, just know flame war bait when I see it.
 
If I can make a suggestion:

If you ask me why I haven't created an original film, it is because my imagination is like try to find a Mariachi Band on Nigeria: Lost Cause.
 
Not enough original films for that list (too many butterflies that there wouldn't be any by 2019), but some of those films are extremely good and would probably survive to TTL.
 
Vice could be a very different movie ITTL about Sonny Bono. Just saying.
I suggest Milo Ventimiglia for the role...

I have a question on Kingdom Quest, Honest Abe...

Was there anything that Nintendo and/or Sony didn't like at any point in the series, and thus, banished it to the cutting room floor?
