And by the way, don't put Mario and Zelda under 1 and 2. It's a fact that they're the top two series. Every game is built on them, so save yourself some pain.

What is the criteria then for this question.

Personal enjoyment or their status in gaming history .

Can people who have never played zelda reply ?

Not gonna list but I do find it funny how Nintendo's top 3 franchises revolve around an Italian plumber, a Western European princess, and a Ridley Scott inspired bounty hunter.

1. Legend of Zelda
2. Final Fantasy
3. Halo

After those 3, it's basically a wash but honorable mentions to Resident Evil, Battlefield, Castlevania, Silent Hill, and Dark Souls.

Mario was a bit before my time and the only Mario game I ever beat was Mario 64. I grew up on Halo then Halo 2 and 3 with friends, God I miss those nights.

1. Mario - pretty indisputable.
2. Civilization - redefined turn-based strategy
3. Halo - redefined FPS genre and has a wealth of stuff outside the FPS realm.
4. Warcraft - the sheer number WoW used to pull is staggering.
6. Grand Theft Auto - a favorite across all people
5. Zelda
6. Starcraft - pro circuit staple with every release
7. Diablo - damn you Diablo III
8. Metal Gear
9. Elder Scrolls/Fallout
10. Final Fantasy

Just missed the cut: DOOM, Age of Empires, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Kingdom Hearts

ETA: took out Resident Evil and added Elder Scrolls/Fallot

1. Fallout
2. Assassin's Creed
3. Metroid
4. Splinter Cell (up until 3, really)
5. Zelda
6. Metal Gear
7. Borderlands
8. Halo
9. Arkham Series (minus Knight)
10. Final Fantasy (mainly because of 14 and the music)




Honorable mention:

-Donkey Kong (nothing really past DK64)
-Rainbow Six
-Burnout (Paradise is GOAT, but the only reason this isn't in my top 10 because it's the only one besides 3 I put significant time in.)
-Battlefield
-Half Life

Maybe because it's a preference.

Mario is getting stale. I havent played a great Mario game since galaxy and the 2d games they make really gives me the impression they're on cruise control with Mario.

SMB was OG, played the crap out of 2 and 3, had my time with 64, but I really don't miss them and don't get all that excited over new installments anymore. I'm curious about the Switch iteration, but it doesn't grab me much anymore.

Ask for opinions. But your opinions better be Nintendo.

I heard it was probably the best out of the latest batch of Mario games, but #@%* the Wii.
