Didn't make this a poll because I know I'll miss something.
Mine is either Donkey Kong Or Earthbound/Mother. You?

i'd agree, but i've only played the first 2 of 3 games.

but for honorary mention of a game developed and published only by nintendo. (pokemon and golden sun aren't) its a toss up between kid icarus and metroid. many more metroid games out there that i've enjoyed, but i've loved the 2 kid icarus games that i've played and to my understanding for a gamboy game kid icarus 2 is pretty good.

hell after playing the original kid icarus, I have to say I like it over the original super mario bros.

If you count spinoffs, then probably Smash or Mario Kart.

If you mean original series, then I dunno, Kirby or Donkey Kong? Kirby seems more reliably good but the high points for DK are much higher. I feel like Metroid would probably be my answer at some point, but I haven't played enough games in the series yet

Camelot.


god damnit. I thought that was it but it looked wrong to me so I changed it.

I hate it when words look weird to me so it makes me question if I spelled it right or not.

happened to me on essays too (unless they made it clear they took points for it). you gave me a spelling test i'd make a 100. but if you never mention you where grading my spelling, out the window it went.

Other than the spinoffs for those franchise, I can't think of anything offhand. Granted, I like some of the Metroids so I guess that's the safety. While I love Kid Icarus Uprising, I just like the game, not the franchise in general.

idk about other people but i've always considered smash one of the many mario spin off titles. hes pretty much the poster boy for the game. its called super smash bros. and obvious reference to super mario bros.

though I admit I see how others can easily see it as its own thing.

Well mario is the poster boy for nintendo, so it eould only make sense that he be the poster boy for the game that includes nintendos iconic characters.

To answer the original question, I guess I'd have to go with Metroid if we're not counting spin offs. Kinda a hard choice tbh

If smash counts, I'd go with that.

I guess at this point i'd be fine thinking of smash as its own thing. for a spin off it got extremely popular to the point of rivaling if not surpassing some of the major series' it represents.

I'd say Smash, but if that doesn't count, then Metroid and Fire Emblem. Really would like to see another AW, or Custom Robo, though.

Didn't see anything saying it had to be developed by Nintendo.

BK series is exclusive to Nintendo only, so it should count...

If it has to be developed by Nintendo and even 2nd party developers owned by them (like Monolithsoft now) don't count, that's really tough to choose.... Startropics, I guess? Smash Bros. being left out of the title seems like an oversight more than anything.

"Nintendo Franchise" implies as much.

I don't like any of Nintendo's franchises, I only like some specific older games from Nintendo, the closest to a franchise I like from them is Metroid, but I still only love two of the games in the entire series, I hate the rest.

I absolutely love Metroid II Samus Returns and Metroid Other M, and it's really too bad they went and butchered Metroid Samus Returns with all of the worst possible modern "features" videogames have to offer, that was a real shame.

I even bought a 3DS just so I'd have something to play it on if it turned out good (in my defense the earliest of footage they released did look promising for several days before the more off putting info was made available, and it was during those days I bought a second-hand original model Aqua Blue 3DS).

Additionally I love some of the older Mario games; Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3 on Nintendo, Super Mario Land on Game Boy and Yoshi's Island on Super Nintendo.

I only really love one more game, the second-party developed Sin and Punishment Successor of the Skies on Wii.

Then there are a few I like and can enjoy on occasion like Starwing, Lylat Wars, Star Fox 64 3D, The Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening, The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Ages, The Legend of Zelda Oracle of Seasons, Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart Double Dash!!.

And finally, I like the third-party developed, Nintendo published, Fossil Fighters Frontier on 3DS.

guessing metroid 2 holds some nostalgia for you? i've played and beat it, enjoyed it that once, could never bring myself to play through again even after I paid to have it again. other M I haven't played but the general idea I get from why people hate it, is simply the story. as long as the gameplay is really good I can forgive a shitty story.
