The top three places on the winner's podium were allotted to Super Mario Kart, Tetris and Grand Theft Auto. Tasked with selecting the best console games of all time, contributors of this year's Gamer's Edition reviewed hundreds of releases to compile a list of the top 50 titles ranked on their initial impact and lasting legacy. NEW YORK (February 26, 2009) - Guinness World Records, the global authority on record-breaking achievements, today disclosed the all-time top 50 console games from Guinness World Records 2009 Gamer's Edition just as the new book shot to the #1 spot on the UK hardback non-fiction charts. Guinness's reason for going with Super Mario Kart as number one is that it's the best-selling racing game on N64 (more than 9 million units sold), SNES (8 million units), Gamecube (nearly 7 million units) and DS (10 million units). "We knew this would be a complex task so we invited a crack team of industry experts to form a judging panel - and the result is a 'top 50' list of games ranked both on their importance and on how fun they are to play." Guinness World Records has listed its 50 games with the most "initial impact and lasting legacy".ĮIC Craig Glenday compiled the list.
