The NP Top 200 is a listing of the 200 best games on a Nintendo console of all time. It was a tie-in to the celebration of Nintendo Power's 200th volume. Each of the five volumes had 40 of the 200 titles (starting with 200 and down from there). This is also an updated version of the NP Top 100 in 1997.
Games released before July 31, 2005 were eligible.
