Topic: Ranking Nintendo’s mobile games.

As the latest forum trend is ranking games, here are Nintendo’s mobile games, ranked by me:

UNQUALIFIED- Dragolia Lost.

5) Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
This game is very boring. It takes forever to download, and then just is a boring, dull game that doesn’t do the series justice.

4) Fire Emblem Heroes
There is nothing bad about this game. It’s a pretty fun game for it’s price, it’s just dull in comparison to the other’s.

3) Dr. Mario World
It’s okay, but not great. I actually really like the game, especially during a global pandemic. 😉 There’s just better games. Such as:

2) Mario Kart Tour
This game is really fun and I love it! It’s definitely worth downloading. I came home early so I could play it on launch date. I have no regrets. 😉

1) Super Mario Run
This game is only fun if you pay. But if you do, it’s not only Nintendo’s best mobile game, but their only excellent one. Get it on a 50% day and it’s worth it.

Nice turnout!

5) Fire Emblem Heroes

I didn’t even know this existed to be honest 😂 I’m not a big fan of that genre in general, so this goes at the bottom of my list.

4) Mario Kart Tour

Deleted in the first hour. It’s so boring. It’s hard to get used to the controls, and the outrageous prices for anything is absurd. I may go back eventually, but for now it remains in obscurity for me.

3) Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp

I liked this game to be honest. It wasn’t a true AC game, but for a mobile game it did its best, and I think the overall status is okay. Which is why it’s ranked in the middle of this list.

2) Dr. Mario World

I used to love this game to death. It was fun, the music had a nice vibe, and the controls were pretty easy to get use too. Sadly, it got boring really quick, since I didn’t have any friends to play it with, and the only new updates were “Doctors” which didn’t add much to the game.

1) Super Mario Run

When someone says mobile Nintendo games are bad, I point directly at Super Mario Run. A different game, sure, but a welcome one. It had nice controls, replay value, interesting world map mechanics, and a nice online mode. It isn’t a great game, especially compared to Nintendo’s AAA titles, but for a mobile game it does the job well.

I hope you do more ranking in the future!
Thank you for doing this!

@BabyYoshi12 There is a Nintendo mobile game more boring than Animal Crossing. Unbelievable, I know. Its name is Miitomo and it's not currently available as far as I know. Oh and battery used to get pretty hot.

1. Super Mario Run
This game automatically gets first place for not being free-to-play. But even then, Super Mario Run had solid, if uncreative, level design and a pretty good amount of content between its various modes and multiple characters.

2. Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp
Even though it's free-to-play and very barebones, it still has that Animal Crossing charm that managed to hold a lot of people over until New Horizons came out. It's nothing amazing, but it's fun enough.

3. Miitomo
It's a shame this one got cut short. It was actually really charming for what it was, and a solid introduction to Nintendo's mobile games. Also that Pachinko minigame was surprisingly addicting.

4. Fire Emblem Heroes
I'm not a big Fire Emblem fan, and I really suck at strategy games, but this is actually a great mobile game. It has so much content, even including a rhythm-based minigame of all things. It's very free-to-play, but there's still a lot to do even without paying.

5. Mario Kart Tour
Mario Kart is one of my favorite series, so this game frustrates me to no end. There are so many amazing ideas here that could've been used in a real Mario Kart, but you have to deal with tons of in-app purchases, rotating cups, and annoying controls.

6. Dr Mario World
I quit this one a few levels in. Dr Mario World is exactly what I didn't want Nintendo to do for their mobile games. The energy bar, the frustrating RNG levels, it really feels like Nintendo took inspiration from games like Candy Crush, which just felt like a disappointment. The only redeeming factor is the hilarious lineup of characters (Dr Dolphin, anyone?).

6) miitomo
I only got this for the platinum coins extra. Had potential.

5) pocket camp. Not a animal crossing fan but my daughter plays it when on long car trips.

4) super Mario run.
Got this day 1. Was fun for a week. Finished it all in 3 hours.

3) Pokémon go. Enjoyable game when playing with son. Made us have great walks.

2) dr Mario. Enjoy this now and then

1) mario kart tour. I have been playing this game since day 1. Fantastic mobile game. Always updated with new tracks. New players, new karts and really enjoy the ranked mode. Haven’t payed a penny for this game yet have a lot of hours in it. I’d say I spent more hours in this than Mario kart 8 deluxe.

@BlueOcean Yeah, I knew about it. I didn’t include it on my list as I never played it and it shut down in 2016.

@1UP_MARIO Ooh, I know what my next ranking will be! Pokémon mobile games!

1. Dragalia Lost
This one is by far first place. Dragalia Lost is extremely free to play friendly, they give away so much of the gacha currency that you can easily never spend a cent and have most characters and dragons in the game. It's purely a co-operative experience rather than the typical competitive race of most mobile games, and the gameplay is most similar to a console game.

2. Fire Emblem Heores
Still fairly generous with giving out premium currency, although not to the extend of Dragalia. It's simplified Fire Emblem, but Infernal and Abyssal maps can be a fun challenge to figure out. I used to try to keep up with Arena and Aether Raids, but it's just too much of a headache to stay on top of the meta in this game. I don't play FEH much anymore, but I still enjoy it from time to time.

3. Super Mario Run
It was fun for a few weeks, but the gameplay gets a little stale after a while. It gets points for not being a cash grab, and it had some interesting ideas.

4. Animal Crossing Pocket Camp
It's cute, but it's also pretty shallow. There has been more content added to it over the years, but nothing really holds my interest for long.

5. Mario Kart World Tour
I really don't like the controls, and the gacha system is extremely stingy. Easily the worst.

I haven't tried Dr. Mario, but I heard it's pretty decent. I might give it a shot at some point.

Lols, they always said that was an app, not a game, @BlueOcean ....
Only played Fire Emblem Heroes & Dragalia Lost, which are both good, so I won't rank them all

@BruceCM It doesn't have any practical use so it's a game.

Eh, well, it was their 1st, so ... @BlueOcean

The only one I truly enjoyed was Fire Emblem Heroes. It was a staple of the apps on my phone for a good long while. Pocket Camp wasn't bad either, but once I realized how basic it was, I moved on pretty quickly.
