Assassin's Creed turns 10!

Looking over this list of series that are turning anywhere from five to 30, a wave of nostalgia and surprise ran over me. I mean, Mega Man's 30th? Rad as hell. Phantasy Star turning 30? I totally forgot, I was more of a Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest man in that era. Bushido Blade turns 20? Hell yes, and give us another actual follow-up at some point Square Enix.

But that "surprise" took shape in many forms, like Assassin's Creed's 10th. or Dishonored's 5th. Or the Wii U's 5th anniversary in November of 2012, which it won't even celebrate as Nintendo has killed the system off and stopped production in 2016.

That 20th section is killer too, with heavy-hitters like Einhänder, Final Fantasy Tactics, and Gran Turismo -- man, the PlayStation kicked ass. Check out the full list below and speculate about how awesome the celebrations will be, and what Nintendo will snub next.
