What do you think is Nintendo's greatest game franchise of all time? I know I might have forgotten some but I think I hit the major ones (zelda and mario).

Personally, I say Zelda is Nintendo's greatest gaming series of all time.

Definitely Zelda.

When a new Zelda game is coming out, people's ears perk up and start paying attention and analyzing every piece of data and screenshot released. You can't say the same about Mario and Pokemon.

So many Mario and Pokemon games come out per year that I think their reputations, especially Mario's, have been a little bit tarnished.

Mario.

Everyone knows of him and of his games. With all the re-releases of the past games, its impossible for someone to not have heard of Super Mario Bros 1 & 3.

you forgot Donkey Kong

Its a no brainer that mario is the face of Nintendo.

"Writes choice 6, F-zero"

"votes F-zero"

It's hard, challenging, but very rewarding to see the sights and stages of places you've unlocked. The best arcade racer ever, no version of Wipeout or Outrun gets as close to a complete package like F-zero.

Best Frachise of All-time? Mario

BEST GAME OF ALL THE TIME? OoT.

Definitely Zelda.

I agree 100%. I know I def get very excited whenever I even hear of a rumor a new zelda game. I also do that with star wars games, but unlike those, Zelda games always deliver.

even i'm not a fan of it, Mario is the greatest series of Nintendo, thats a fact. they made millions of Mario games and they still do. yes thats what you call milkage but that proves it still sells alot. if mario series stop Nintendo will die

first of all, i cant believe you even put star fox and pokemon on the same list as Mario and Zelda.

for me, its Zelda. Zelda on NES is the all-time best game. number 2 on my all-time best list is mario 3...very sweet. mario for SNES was cool too. but Zelda for 64 brought it all back.

What? No Kirby???? lol, just kidding....

Hard to choose b/w Mario and Zelda, but since the Zelda games usually have more depth and story, I chose Zelda.

Why is Metroid listed as Metroid Prime? There's way, way more Metroids than just Prime.

Anyway, I love Metroid to death. For serious. So I'm going with that one.

its a close competition in my book between zelda and metroid, despite metroids rehashed story line, it contains some amazing gameplay and is very addicting.

do i even have to explain zelda?

and for all of you who picked mario... to be a greatest series you have to still be a series...it really ended after super mario 3 after that it became a list of sharacters to exploit for every penny possible

Man that is kinda hard question, like a n-fan I sure have enjoyed a lot with all nintendo games. But really being real, Mario is the greatest series of all times and maybe the most important franchise on the videogame story. Mario is the icon of all videogames, it's games (with few exceptions) innovates on the plataform genre, a lot of characters came out of the series, a lot of kids have at least one game of the Mario series with their Nintendo system.

Atfer that the best serie is Zelda: epic, dramatic, fun, with a solid story, with a beautiful and memorable music, with a sweet princess to rescue, with a lot of items to get and to figured it out how to use, all Zelda games are the best adventure rpg on the story, period.

Zelda

Mario was great on the snes tho, but don't really like any of the mario games since the N64.
