With the Fighting game thread topic finished and counting, now let's do FirstParty Ip's for Nintendo! What to you, is the best Nintendo created franchise/Ip of all time? Votes will be counted and only three will advance. Some examples: Mario Zelda Starfox Pikmin Firemeblem Excite Advance Wars Brain Age Nintendo Doggs Wiisports f-Zero Wario Clu Clu Kirby Animal Crossing etc. etc. Also remeber to vote for me for Communist Republic of Nintendo. My motto is: Vote for the poll guy.

I voted other and I think I will have to say Legend of Zelda series. (I own/played almost every game in the series; I have all the console games and I only have 4 handheld Zelda's: Link's Awakening DX, Phantom Hourglass, Spirit Tracks, and Four Swords.)

Mario.

For a long time I would have said Zelda and even Metroid at some points, but Mario killed it on the NES and SNES and really took it back this gen as well.

I will say Pikmin because of my personal fondness of the franchise, but I must say it's rather spectacular that both Mario and Zelda continue to be creative and innovative at such a high level of quality after 25 years of existance.

It was a hard choice I could've chosen Mario easily.

Metroid without a doubt. F.Zero is also cool and the rest of their usual ip´s I have no interest whatsoever.

Interesting this thread. On the Xbox Forum, Metroid and Starfox won. Mostly Starfox. On the Nintendo website their forum choose Zelda. On the Sony Forum it was Metroid and Fire Emblem On a random japenese culture website it was Mario Pikmin, and Kirby in the lead. On a random U.S. politics forum it was Metroid and Zelda. On a classic retro forum it was Mario, Zelda and Metroid. On dead Nexgenwars it was Metroid, Fire Emblem, and Strafox with huge leads in that order. On a anime forum it's Kirby Mario, Nintendogs. On another random anime forum it Was pokemon by a very large margin and then Xenoblade and Mario. On a forum dedicated to Final Fantasy Xenoblade and Pokemon were far off and close with Mario and Zelda fighting for 4th with Kriby in this and all the others having less than 3 votes while the others had over 70. However, on Gamespot.com Metroid is ahead. So notice the trend here, Weeaboos and Japanese people: Pokemon, Kirby, Mario Xenoblade. Normal people not obsessive Weeaboos and Western: Metroid, Starfox, F-Zero, Fire Emblem. Before years ago, Zelda was leaning more toward the west, the last decade+2 it has shifted toward the east quite oddly. There's something there.

There's a reason why Mario is the flagship franchise for Nintendo. Excellent level design combined with tight controls guarantees a hit. Mario at its worst will still feature tight controls and good gameplay.

Halo isn't as cool as Metroid; Metroid's a pretty bad-ass robot.

I also loved playing as Metroid's girlfriend in Brawl.

1990's Donkey Kong Country makes me forget every other Nintendo franchise. That's how amazing those games were.

Fire Emblem. It's pretty much the only Nintendo franchise I care about these days. Awakening for the 3DS is pretty average though so hopefully IS step it up for the next game. The franchise is still the best one Nintendo has. FE 7 & 8 are in my top ten SRPG's.

In terms of consistency of quality titles (not lending to fanboy canon/element arguments): 1. Mario 2. Metroid 3. Zelda

How did that quote go?

"Who's Samus? I said Metroid was a robot!" or something?

Yeah that quote says that; I forget who said that quote though.

There was one in Gamefaqs around the time Metroid Prime 3: Corruption released saying "Is Metroid's gun attached to his hand or is it a part of his suit?"

Metriod Prime...Best Nintendo game I played on the Gamecube. It and Zelda may be the reason I may purchase a WiiU.

Out of the choices, Metriod. But my favorite is Mario core series, especially the 3D ones. Mine goes:

Mario
DK Country
Metroid/Zelda

Zelda, Mario, and Pokemon All three have managed to be consistently good throughout the years.

Hell as much sh*t fans give Skyward Sword it's still better than most other action/adventure games this gen.

A tie between Pokemon and Kirby.

Pokemon has been more consistent so that. ^^

Raymundo_Manuel

I like old DKC as much as the next guy, but gameplay wise they dont really hold up to other platformers of the time. And then against other Nintendo games of that era? Forget about it. They sure looked great though.

You could of made it easier on yourself by including Mario instead of Wario & Zelda instead of Pikmin on the Poll

Zelda is my choice
