For me, it's undoubtedly The Legend of Zelda. I just absolutely love the exploration in gameplay but more of the traditional sense than Breath of the Wild. I like more of the old school style where it's 2D.

If I had to go with a second favorite Nintendo franchise it is definitely Metroid. But oh my dear goddesses, it seems like we only get a new Metroid game every few years. The series is seriously neglected and who knows when we'll get the fourth game in the Prime series. I even like Other M.

So come on what's your favorite Nintendo franchise? What is your current favorite?

 

[intbal]

Dr. Mario

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

Zelda of course

 

[coffinbirth]

Darksiders 2

 

[kunonabi]

Metroid despite hating most games in the franchise.

 

[Hawk The Slayer]

The Legend of Zelda easily! Loved Liked a lot of Zelda games with Majora's Mask still being my favorite till this day.

 

[WoJ]

Metroid for me.

 

[Danjin44]

Xenoblade without a doubt.

 

[Deerock71]

My grown up tastes favor Zelda at this point. But Mario kicks ever-loving ass!

 

[Mister Wolf]

1. Xenoblade
2. Zelda
3. Metroid

 

[SHA]

1.Pokemon
2.Mario
3.Metroid
4.Xenoblade
5.Bayonetta

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Dr. Mario

So then the Mario series.

Darksiders 2

Hey now that's not Nintendo but the Darksiders series is one of the best.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Xenoblade without a doubt.

1. Xenoblade
2. Zelda
3. Metroid

I meant first party Nintendo games so I should have been a little bit more clearer about that.

 

[StreetsofBeige]

Ice Hockey and Cobra Triangle were awesome.

 

[Doom85]

Paper Mario, even if it’s really just for the first two games: 64 and TTYD.

 

[Sleepwalker]

Pokemon by far.

Also really enjoy F zero, Zelda and the Mario rpgs.

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Pokemon by far.

Also really enjoy F zero, Zelda and the Mario rpgs.

Pokemon is definitely up there is one of Nintendo's best. I sometimes forget it is a Nintendo exclusive game and I guess that would be considered first party.

 

[bender]

Warioware

 

[RodriGames40]

Metroid had the highest peaks by a long shot, close call with Zelda and Xenoblade. Mario will always be the brand goat to me though.

 

[Danjin44]

I meant first party Nintendo games so I should have been a little bit more clearer about that.

Xenoblade is first party Nintendo game, Monolith Soft is Nintendo first party developer and even help out for games like Zelda and Splatoon.

 

[Brigandier]

Xenoblade by a very long landslide. (Yes it's first party Nintendo own MonolithSoft)

 

[Topher]

 

[wvnative]

Star Fox
Mario RPGs (Counting both paper mario and mario and luigi as one)
Mario 3D platformers

 

[Esca]

Metroid

 

[Darkmakaimura]

Xenoblade by a very long landslide. (Yes it's first party Nintendo own MonolithSoft)

Oh I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Nintendo owns Monolith Soft.

So come on what's your favorite Nintendo franchise? What is your current favorite?

Same with You, add mario kart for me.

I always feels like hard to choose which one is the best games from Nintendo, their games are top notch.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Zelda by far

 

[llien]

Mario Party

Minigames is a lot of fun to have with your family. No alternatives in sight either.

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

3D Mario. Basically 64, Galaxy and Odyssey.

 

[coffinbirth]

So then the Mario series.


Hey now that's not Nintendo but the Darksiders series is one of the best.

I know, just taking a piss.

I could never choose just one.

Metroid
Zelda
Mario
Mario Kart
Dr. Mario
F-Zero
Star Fox
Donkey Kong
Mother/Earthbound
Xenoblade

I've been all in on Nintendo since 1986.

 

[Robb]

Super Mario. Probably followed by Zelda.

 

[IDKFA]

Has to be Super Mario, both 2D and 3D games.

There are a few reasons. The first is pure nostalgia. Super Mario bros on the NES was the first game I ever played. I also have so many good childhood memories playing Mario games, from the outstanding Mario Bros 3 to the revolutionary Mario 64.

As well as childhood memories, I also have very happy memories playing New Super Mario Bros with my son and wife when my son was young. His first console was a Wii and we spent many happy family evenings playing that.

[Mr.Bond]

Punch out and F zero

 

[StueyDuck]

It use to be Zelda. Minecraft Zelda bores me so Mario very clearly takes the cake now. Metroid could be up there depending how prime 4 shakes out.

And I secretly has a softspot for starfox/lylat wars.

I wish they'd build upon starfox adventures style and turn that into the new Zelda style game.

(Or just make good Zelda games again )

 

[Robb]

Punch out

I’d love another Punch Out, the Wii game was phenomenal.

 

[Cakeboxer]

Punch Out
Mario
Zelda

 

[Big Baller]

Cant decide between Zelda and Metroid

 

[Exede]

Xenoblade
Zelda
Metroid

 

[TheGrat1]

 

[hemo memo]

Zelda, and it's not even close.

It could have been Pokémon, but that series is horribly mismanaged by an awful developer.

I would pick Zelda but Mario is probably the most video game, video game that will ever exists. To me, It's keywords are creativity, fun and excitement!

Each new announcement and release makes the whole industry febrile. A Mario release rejuvenates and inspire every big and smaller gaming studios around the world.

Mark my words, Nintendo have been cooking its next 3D Mario for the switch 2 for a very long time now and when it gets announced, the whole world will feel the vibe. Astrobot was a cool appetizer but it's nothing compared to the OG.

 

[Soodanim]

For me it's between Mario and Zelda.

When I bought my Wii U and played NSMBU+Luigi I remember the feeling of enjoying a game designed solely for fun. No seriousness, just colourful designs and gameplay. It felt like a cleanser with everything else that was released around that time. and in general I think Mario as a franchise embodies that philosophy. He's the truest mascot.

Zelda, and I'm speaking about classic Zelda here, grabs me. Everything that Zelda was appeals to me. Dungeons, music, puzzles, items. BotW (haven't played TotK) didn't remotely scratch that same itch.

Truthfully it's hard not to think about the N64 games for either franchise. I consider that period of time the peak. If I had to choose M64 or OoT and MM to play forever, that's a difficult choice but I say Zelda.

 

[hemo memo]

 

[KungFucius]

Zelda because of the structure & progression, but Mario is not too far behind and I like that because it is simple.

 

[Emedan]

Got to be Mario
