And Mario kart is great for both casuals and hardcore gamers. I think Link to the past is a better adventure game than Odyssey and it would be a little redundant to have both you know?

'Pikmin' is one of the most slept on franchises by Nintendo fans. Of the 4 games, personally I think 'Pikmin 2' gets the balance right of story, environment variety and number of items to collect. The original game is great, but the 30 items in 30 days time limit, that holds it back for me. Thankfully all 4 of the mainline series are available on Switch. Only the 3DS spinoff 'Hey Pikmin' isn't available, it's decent but very different to the main games.

Let's be real. Mario Sunshine can be janky as hell a lot of the time. I say that as someone who didn't mind it, but saying it's the best Mario game? I can't get behind that personally.

[@thomasffrench3639]

I love how they say that Mario 64 is because of nostalgia when it plays way better

[@Zeppongola]

I personally can't remember too much jank in Sunshine outside of the watermelon, pre-boo slots, and possibly some camera control issues, but granted it has been decades since I've touched it. I've never played 64 either, but I personally think Sunshine played fantastically. Really tight and intuitive controls, a nice set of movement options (dive, backflip, spinjump, triple jump) enhanced when you add in the fludd (sliding, rocket, turbo, rope-spinning), plus a few fun unintentional exploits, like the first-person-zoom to turn in midair during a dive if you want to include those. Even if 64 does play "way" better, which I'm not convinced on, I think Ss plays well enough that I'd still prefer it after taking into account the IMO nicer areas and visuals and whatnot

[@thomasffrench3639]

[@Zeppongola]

IMO, by franchise (only including ones I've played at least a couple of installments of the franchise in question): Mario: Sunshine (Mario Kart and the first Luigis Mansion, as well as some of the Gameboy or pre-GC ones I'm not familiar with the names of were also great) Zelda: Oracle of Ages (yeah that's right, the GBC game) Smash: Melee (I feel like I should like Brawl or Ult more, but I dunno, never really clicked with any after Melee. Subspace emissary was indeed great though) Pokemon: FireRed/LeafGreen (honourable mentions to HG/SS and RSE. Entire gen 3 was great)

[@wilsonkilmer9776]

Oracle of Ages is a GBC game. What other Zeldas have you played where Ages was the winner?

[@Zeppongola]

@@wilsonkilmer9776 I think Seasons and 4 Swords were the only other ones I've completed; IIRC I played Wind Waker up to the part where you have to get a bunch of maps or triforce pieces or whatever it was, some of Minish cap and Twilight Princess (but didn't really get into either enough to play more than a session or two), a bit of whichever that one was with the magic meter and the dark world, and possibly some of Awakening (though I remember so little of it that I might've just been wandering around on my brother's save), and also a few sessions of Hyrule Warriors if that counts. I've watched playthroughs of Ocarina and Majora's Mask too, a bit of Skyward Sword, and some challenge/speedruns of BotW and TotK. I personally like OoA because the time travel is really neat, I like seeing each area in different points in time, doing things in the past that influence the future, etc. I also just like the gameplay of those 2D GBC/A games more than the 3D console ones. I liked the rings with various effects, and also the bear/kangaroo/swimming-lizard-thing, though I forget if they were in Ages or Seasons or both. I also much prefer the 2D dungeons to the 3D ones tbh. Aesthetic-wise I also liked Ages/Seasons quite a bit, though Wind Waker is also great for that, whereas I don't find most of the other games particularly aesthetically pleasing, especially TP. I'm not super interested in the plot for Zelda games either, so it being relatively simple in those games wasn't really much of a downside for me

[@wilsonkilmer9776]

@@Zeppongola wow, those are some truly, genuinely uncommon opinions! That rules. I think you and I have pretty different opinions and favorites among the Zelda games, but I respect the hell out of you and your takes! For me, I loved the art style and atmosphere of Twilight Princess (I think it’s easy to say it was an overcorrection for Windwaker, but I do think it looks great) and Ocarina of Time is my favorite. Story, music and atmosphere are my primary interests with Zelda though. My first Zelda game was Oracle of Seasons, so I definitely have plenty of love and nostalgia for it and Ages, as well as Link’s Awakening. If you like those, I do think you’d like A Link to the Past (my third favorite after Ocarina and Skyward Sword, and the one it sounds like you tried out with the magic meter and the Dark World) as it’s dungeons and gameplay progression were series defining and quite similar to the GB games. I’ve gotten about to the part of Windwaker you said you had, where you collect the Triforce pieces (I really ought to finish that game; but life is busy, huh?) so I can’t speak to it fully but what I’ve played is fantastic, and it’s a common fan favorite. This series is awesome, huh? Anyway, genuinely great to discuss Zelda! Cheers!

[@Zeppongola]

@@wilsonkilmer9776 Thanks! Always great to see people happy to hear opinions that differ from their own. I can certainly respect putting OoT as #1, and its nice to hear that you enjoyed both TP and WW; quite often they seem to be a one-or-the-other deal (probably because of the very different art styles and being released pretty close to each other, IIRC). The music and atmosphere are definitely major strengths of the series; although I like the Oracle games the most overall, I think Ocarina and WW probably have the soundtracks that most spring to mind for me. Pretty timeless tracks all-round

Saying "ocarina of time is a GOOD game" could be a winner at the trash taste awards for one of the worst takes.

[@Meemaw567]

Disagree, OoT hasn't aged well in many areas.

Wario 4? Does that mean Wario Land 4 or are there multiple copies of Wario I don't know about?

[@Frost-tw4qd]

@@Squidveemo I forgot to put Land in there my bad.

[@BurningRubber454]

See brawl My man

[@Frost-tw4qd]

@@BurningRubber454 Brawl is great and I’m tired of pretending it’s not. Just because it is not as competitive and complex as Melee doesn’t mean it sucks.

[@TheIrelander95]

1. Pokémon Heartgold/Soulsilver 2. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess 3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl 4. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption 5. Super Mario Galaxy

[@wilsonkilmer9776]

1. Ocarina of Time 2. F-Zero SNES 3. Mario Kart DS 4. Super Mario Odyssey 5. Mega Man X Honestly if I wasn’t keeping it to one entry per series, it would probably be mostly Zelda. Like: 1. Ocarina of Time 2. Skyward Sword (fight me) 3. A Link to the Past 4. F-Zero 5. Twilight Princess Best console is SNES. Good shit. Cheers!

[@Red-mg4ro]

If you're going by highest grossing franchises or single best-selling games, then it's a lot easier than stuff like "influential" or "impactful". And I think Wii Sports is a "most popular" because it was included with the Wiis.

[@OrangeJuiceJaz]

Ocarina of Time Earthbound Mother 3 Link to the Past Paper Mario Thousand Year Door Hon mentions to Every other Zelda basically, Mario Odyssey, 64 and Yoshi's Island, Pikmin 2 and 4. Lylat Wars, Super Metroid, Metroid Prime, Smash (General), Pokemon Gold, Fire Emblem Awakening, 3 Houses, Professor Layton Unwound Future.

[@wilsonkilmer9776]

[@corey2232]

Here's the REAL list that doesn't force 5 different franchises: 1. Mario Bros 3 2. Mario 64 3. Ocarina of Time (I like MM better though) 4. Breath of the Wild 5. Link to the Past or Super Mario World (toss-up) These are their most iconic & influential, internally-developed games. I'm not counting games they publish or outsource to others to develop like Smash, Pokemon, Bayonetta, etc.

[@s.drakoon8413]

1. Super Mario Galaxy 2. DKC Returns 3. Xenoblade 1 4. Breath of the Wild 5. Pokemon White 2

[@ExtremeAce]

For me it's gotta be: 1. Metroid Prime 2 2. Pokemon Black2/White2 (Based Connor btw) 3. Super Mario Odyssey 4. Super Metroid 5. DKC Tropical Freeze It's hard to pick my top 5 Nintendo games because it's too hard to pick out of so many great games.

[@NoctLightCloud]

Xenoblade Chronicles (although technically not made by Nintendo, but it's a Nintendo platform exclusive)

[@Ironcorgi2]

1. Mario odyssey 2. Zelda ocarina of time 3. Super smash bros melee 4. Super Metroid 5. Pokémon emerald

[@hiroakimaki7701]

From everything I played a substantial Amount of 1. Resident Evil 4 2. Metroid : Dread 3. Wii Sports 4. ZombieU 5. Breath of the Wild
