Topic: What is Nintendo's Best Franchise In Your Opinion

My favorites are:

1. Zelda
2. Mario/RPG/Paper/Kart
3. Kirby
4. Metroid
5. Pokemon
6. Rhythm Tengoku
7. Smash Bros
8. StarFox
9. Wario
10. Donkey Kong
11. Fire Emblem

The lower 4 aren't bad, it's just that I haven't played many games in those franchises.

Also, the list changes about every 6 hours.

Fire Emblem is a copy of Zelda

Yeah, but Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a copy of Call of Duty 4.

True, true. :3

But seriously, go play a Fire Emblem game.

Metroid. No competition for me.

A runner-up would be the entire Mario series, though.

Easy, Metroid. The only series that is consistently brilliant and all hold up even after many years nothing else in all of gaming come close.

Zelda of course. Followed closely by Metroid.

A few years ago I would have said Zelda but I've been dissapointed in the last couple of games and feel that the series has gotten stale. As it is I would probably have to say Mario. With the Galaxy games Nintendo has managed to make Mario feel fresh again. Hopefully Skyward Sword will do the same for Zelda though I'm not sure it will!!

Mario for me , i mean mario does it all , go for a little side scrolling , he likes to get his kart on , he even likes to party hard , then he's athletic going for the gold , he can give you that three hit combo , or he can be in 3d and take you outta space. Mario is the godfather of Nintendo yano what it is. Im just saying i mean who's made more money for nintendo who has more games.? I dont know but id say everyone has found love in at least one of his gaming genres. I could be wrong...

1. Mario (platformers)
2. Smash Bros.
3. Zelda

1. Mario
2. Kirby
3. Animal Crossing
4. (I know I have something to put here but I can't think of it at the moment)
5. Wii Series

1.Metroid
2.Mario
3.Zelda tied with Pikmin
4.Starfox
5Pokemon (as soon as I get SS )

what other type of platformers are there?

The lack of Custom Robo in this thread makes me want to slap all of you. Hard. Twice.

Also Smash Bros.

1. Smash Bros.
2. Mother
3. Mario
4. Zelda
5. Pokemon

EarthBound/Mother, StarTropics, Fire Emblem, Zelda, Metroid

The "Enjoy your massage" franchise nah, I know that's not owned by them.

Zelda. Period.

Second is Smash Bros and third is Mario.

1) Metroid
2) Fire Emblem
3) Pokémon
4) Super Mario
5) F-Zero

I'd say Metroid, but the only game I really absolutely die-hard love in that series is Super Metroid. The rest of them are pretty meh, imho. So I guess it'd be Mario, then Metroid.
