16. Pokémon Stadium
Pokémon Stadium and its sequel Pokémon Stadium 2 were probably what people were hoping for with Battle Revolution. The games were primarily battle simulators, but came with enough side content that it felt like a more fleshed out experience. From some silly Mario Party-style mini-games and chances to battle long-time favorites with new teams, the Stadium games felt like both a chance to play out Game Boy game battles on a Nintendo 64 screen, as well as their own things not entirely built on the systems of something else. With the mainline games now on console, a lot of the appeal of what these games did might be lost on younger players. But back then? It was incredible to see pixel art Pokémon on the big screen.
