Every Nintendo Franchise Ranked From WORST To BEST

Күн бұрын

Though Sony, Microsoft and Sega all have their own mascots and first party hits, the Nintendo family of consoles is surely the most dependent on its longstanding franchises. The NES, SNES, N64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U and Switch have brought us some fantastic game series over the years and so, from Mario to Metroid, we're going to rank every single one of them from worst to best.

Sure, we could point out the moments when Princess Peach proved herself to be less capable of having the same abilities as the Mario Bros., Rosalina, Bowser, the Kongs (Donkey, Diddy & Dixie), Yoshi and yes, even Daisy. She really should focus more on having fun with being a sportswoman than a damsel in distress. So with Nintendo’s sexism, that takes away the fun we could have had with the Mario franchise, right? Actually, far from it! You see, even though it’s not perfect like some people say it is, Mario is a franchise that is widely and rightfully praised for its games (depending on what they are, points to the Mario Discovery series as the worst examples and most of the Super Mario games of the late 20th Century and 2000s RPGs as the best examples), graphical style (though execution matters more than concept, otherwise, it’s style over substance), soundtracks, stories (when they want to be strong depending on the game), dedication and characters (yea, even Peach can be a likeable character as long as they make her a good sport like in Mario Sports). But yes, Zelda also kicks ass for the same reasons!

The Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Explorers of Sky in particular, is the best example of how sometimes critics are just stupid and unable to do their job: all they do is criticizing the fact that they're dungeon crawlers. IGN review of Explorers of Sky is one of the worst and most unprofessional reviews ever made. Not saying that it's among the absolute best series, but it's better than most mainline Pokémon games and don't deserve to be that low at all.

Great list lads. Pullblox was a phenomenal little puzzler! Super Circuit is a banger too and Skyward Sword isn't that bad. Two things though: did you miss out Wii Sports (two games on the Wii, one on the Wii-U)? One thing I think might be wrong too: was Donkey Kong 64's score included in the Donkey Kong Country series? And it reviewed well at the time, 93% from magazines. 9s from IGN and Gamespot. That's mad to think Pikmin would be the fifth best Nintendo franchise, but 1, 2 and 3 are all classics in my opinion. Nintendo have so many great games in their catalogue.

Due to X and 2 release times (both being the only big release at there respective times) they got a ton of reviews by non JRPG guys who weighted them down. The first game had the advantage of being a shadow release meaning big Nintendo reviewers skipped on it and didn't weigh its score down.
