Mario*, Zelda, Pokemon, SSB and Metroid? I chose those since I figure the vast majority would fall between them otherwise. Nintendo has a lot more than that, but I guess I rarely think about them.

*Just platforming Mario, so Mario Party/Kart/Sports games are valid answers. I'd also consider Yoshi to be a separate series at this point.



I guess my answer would have to be DK. It's funny to me because that seems like the obvious choice now, but I only just thought of it as I finished writing up this topic. I was gonna just say Mario Kart. Kirby seems like one I might enjoy if I ever get around to actually playing them.

So Mario Party counts but not Pokemon Mystery Dungeon or Ranger? Tsk, tsk.

I guess maybe Mario Party under the austere restrictions, since Icarus I only really liked KIU. I guess technically the Cruis'n franchise might count and that could beat out Mario Party.

I don't really know anything about Pokemon, so I didn't know what should count as part of the main series. I do know enough about Mario spinoffs to feel that they shouldn't count. There are so many Mario Kart and Party games that you can clearly differentiate them as a spinoff series, although there are apparently way more Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games than I realized. I figured stuff like that was more of a one-off and didn't give it much forethought

What's your favorite Nintendo franchise

First party, as of 2017?

I'd be hard-pressed to name a single one that I care about at all. About the only satisfaction Nintendo has given me at all in the last 20 years comes from watching other people play Mario Party.

Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is basically a re-skin of another franchise with Pokemon elements and a different frame of reference since it always involves a character turned into a Pokemon. It's a fairly large spinoff at this point. A lot of the others just went one or two games, although I guess PBR is kinda the same thing as Stadium so that's 3 games there (Coliseum, despite the name, is completely different).

Easily Kirby.

The multiplayer Co-op on GBA & the crazy spin offs like Canvas curse & Mass attack on DS is just scratching the surface of why I love Kirby games.

Runner ups: #2. Star Fox #3. Mother (Earthbound) #4. Pilot wings


If I could choose those you listed to not chose then:

#1. Pokemon
#2. Kirby
#3. Mario
#4. Zelda
#5. Star fox

:P

Because Smash is one of their most popular franchises now. People enjoy the Mario party games, but they don't have a lot of hype and don't sell systems like Smash can.

I didn't capitalize "party" on purpose. What are you supposed to say when you're lumping Party/Kart/sports together? It's confusing because they're Mario party games but Mario Party is also the name of a series

StarTropics


I thought about that, but I think it's a stretch to call it a franchise and DK would have beaten it anyway. Only the first game is great.

Probably Pikmin, it is pretty unique and each game adds just enough to keep me interested.

Second is probably Donkey Kong, although I kind of lost interest after Tropical Freeze. I have only played like 30 minutes of it and have no desire to continue.

Donkey Kong and Star Fox are day one buy/system sellers to me.

I don't like animal crossing and pokemon is really bland compared to other jrpg (i tried to get into Sun/Moon and X/Y but i already played red and got board with the other two).

I would buy another Advance Wars on day one if they release one game, but they rather release Fire Emblem.

It's an okay to good game, but not great. It was basically a step back from the original in nearly every way. You could use those games as a case study for when less is more
