Here it is, the ultimate Nintendo franchise ranking you didn’t know you needed. In this video, I’m not ranking individual games; I’m ranking entire Nintendo series across decades of hardware—from Game & Watch roots and DS-era experiments to modern Switch and Switch 2 heavy-hitters. Using clear rules (first/second-party only, minimum three distinct entries, released in North America) and judging by popularity, relevance & influence, critical reception, overall library quality, and my personal experience, I break down which Nintendo IPs truly define the brand—and why. Sub-series roll into their parents (yes, Tingle lives under Zelda), with one exception: Mario Kart stands alone because it’s simply too massive to fold in.

You’ll see beloved icons and cult classics collide: Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Super Smash Bros., Kirby, Metroid, Animal Crossing, Pikmin, Donkey Kong, Fire Emblem, Xenoblade Chronicles, Splatoon, Luigi’s Mansion, Wario (Land & WarioWare), the Wii Series, EarthBound/Mother, Star Fox, F-Zero, Punch-Out!!, Kid Icarus, Pilotwings, Wave Race, Nintendogs, Brain Age/Big Brain Academy, Advance Wars, Golden Sun, Pushmo, Chibi-Robo, BoxBoy, and more deep-cut favorites (ever heard of Kururin?). I also call out a few fringe cases and why they don’t make the numbered cut (or why they’re grouped).

This is a discussion-driven ranking: I explain each placement with context—historic impact (genre innovations, tech showcases like Mode 7, N64 3D breakthroughs, motion controls), review trajectories, sales momentum, long gaps between entries, consistency across generations, and how well each franchise evolved (or didn’t) on newer hardware. Expect talk about Metroid’s stop-start release cadence, Star Fox’s high highs and confusing detours, F-Zero’s legendary speed and long dormancy, Animal Crossing’s cultural moment, Pikmin’s creative RTS-puzzle identity, Kirby’s constant reinvention, Smash’s competitive longevity, Fire Emblem’s Awakening era boom, Xenoblade’s rise from niche to flagship, Splatoon’s online scene, and why Mario still sits atop gaming’s throne. I also touch on modern developments—remasters, revivals, DLC expansions, and where Nintendo could take each series next.
