Every Nintendo Franchise Ranked From WORST To BEST 

This video actually helped me realize what the hell all the random assist trophies in smash bro’s games were.

Olimar isn't running out of oxygen. The oxygen is killing him. He can't breathe it and breaths other gasses presumably.

56 franchises over 70%... dang Nintendo, you awesome!

Dang Pokemon Mystery Dungeon is super underrated. Has the best storytelling in the pokemon franchise and the explorers story is genuinely a good story all around with time travel to boot.

You know Nintendo is a pretty dope company when I'm looking at the bottom of the list like "Aw, I liked that game!" Pokémon Mystery Dungeon is dope, though I didn't realize until today that it's a sort of crossover

I may like Zelda more, but there’s no denying the legacy, creativity, and ingenuity of Mario’s 3D games.

TripleJump, the EarthBound/MOTHER series is "languished" because the co-creator and writer of the series, Shigesato Itoi, considers the series finished.

Since you seperated 2d and 3D Mario I feel 2d and 3D Zelda should’ve been aswell

THANK YOU FOR THESE LISTS! While I enjoy the entertainment value, and these are always informational as well ( Yay learning!) I'm an autistic adult and these long form videos are often something I will put on to watch intermittently throughout the day to provide some soothing sensory feedback and a stable anchor for my mind. These are perfect to help me get through a nice relaxing Saturday and I appreciate it!

As a Mother fan I was absolutely shock to see that it got 4th place! I was not expecting that.

Man, it's really amazing that the Legend of Zelda, a series that's been around for 36 years and has had constant new releases (19 titles from the main line and up to 27 if you count all according to Wikipedia) has such a high average score.

Pokémon mystery dungeon may be the most critically underrated series ever. Amazing gameplay, unforgettable stories, and awesome presentation makes them amazing. Tbh, it should probably be in the the top 20, if not top 10.

Me, a Pokémon Ranger fan: 😫😭

It would be interesting to see how the latest Kirby and Metriod titles would influence their series' scores.

Ben: Apologizes for possibly pronouncing Kururin incorrectly. Peter: You can't make me pronounce Yoshi correctly.

11:42 HEY Y'ALL, SCOTT HERE

Awwww yeah I am going to give this everything I've got.

I find it hard to believe that Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door wasn't as critically acclaimed as the first Paper Mario. You didn't even mention it.

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.

Dillon’s Rolling Western has so much potential honestly, I guarantee if it weren’t a tower defense game with a few beat em up elements but some sort of western adventure beat em up it’d be received a lot better The great character designs and western theme being loss in obscurity would be such a missed opportunity

F Zero REALLY needs to come back, (I've probably been saying this for about....15 years now?) Especially now days where "High skill ceiling" would be welcomed with open arms.

I’m gonna say it: I played the first Style Savvy and I really liked it. I sunk a lot of time into my shop, partook in a lot of event stuff, entered a lot of fashion competitions, and I had a lot of fun. I’m upset it didn’t let you play as a guy, but still, good amount of fun to be had. Surprised to see it that far up the list, honestly. But Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Ranger deserved to be higher! I don’t blame Triple Jump for this, it’s the game critics who were wrong!

I CAME TO COMMENTS FOR PEOPLE ARGUING OVER DONKEY KONG JR. MATH, WHERE ARE YOU?!

We’ll never see Dillon again Assist trophies:am i a joke to you

Heading Golden Sun in the top 10 make me feel happy but sad why there haven't been a fourth game

How can you talk about Paper Mario and not mention TTYD?

As a fan of Pokémon ranger, I got to say it would be fun to see it again on the switch with a new concept instead of the stylus, perhaps treating them like real animals where you have to tempt them with food or try to work with them properly without the use of a pokeball

For those who are wondering, if the 3D zelda games were listed separately it would be as follows: Zelda - Ocarina Of Time - 99 Zelda - Majora's Mask - 95 Zelda - Wind Waker - 96 Zelda - Twilight Princess - 96 Zelda - Skyward Sword - 93 Zelda - Breath of the Wild - 97 Average - 96 (making it the top)

Mario and Link definitely stand as titans of the gaming industry. Their core games always seem to deliver (I personally liked Skyward Sword). Mario 64 was an amazing explosion into the 3D realm. I remember being able to simply enjoy running around Bob-Omb Battlefield without working towards a goal.

We should have gotten Startropics 3.

this channel feels like a higher quality and better written whatculture to me

Splitting Mario into sides scrolling platformer and 3d adventure was the right call. These are two different genres that play very differently.

Honestly I'm surprised yoshi's woolly world is so low, I consider it a 9/10 game.

I used to say Yoshi that way too because my cousins who got me into video games pronounce it that way in Spanish. Now I say Yoshi as in yo-yo. Also used to pronounce Bowser "Bo-ser", as in bow tie (Spanish pronounciation), until people kept calling me put on it since it's not typical in English lol

"There probably aren't many die-hard fans in BOXBOY!'s corner." Guess I'll just go... disappear

This is not a less than 100k views video. This is fantastic, well made and edited, and obviously took a lot of work! Thanks for putting out quality content!

I actually do like the Dillon's rolling western series, especially dead heat breakers, kinda surprising the games never hit a 70 on metacritic.

"A return a Warioverdue" should absolutely be the tagline for the next Wario Land game!

I really like Dillons Rolling western. The tower defence/action gameplay just works so well for me and the games have so much charm. It really is unfortunate that the series is so unknown

I did this myself A year ago here were my resualts my criteria was a bit different and I only used metacretic and only averaged the 5 best in the franchise Legend of zelda Super mario Metroid Mario Kart Super Smash bros Advance wars Fire emblem Pokemon Mario and luigi Xenoblade chronicles Golden sun Donkey Kong Push mo F-Zero Pikmin New super Mario bros Animal crossing Mario Golf Kirby luigi’s mansion Paper mario Rhythm heaven picross Box Boy Nintendogs Yoshi Puzzle league Mario tennis Wario land Starfox Mario vs donkey kong Art academy Style savvy Wii games Mario Party Excite franchise Brain age Nintendo Labo Dr Mario Mario And sonic at the olympics Pokemon ranger Dillion’s rolling western Chibi Robo Fossil fighters Pokemon mystery dungeon Pokemon rumble Cruis’n

Loved the snarkiness in this list. It reminded me of the UK gaming mags I used to read in the 90s.

Why the wii___ games weren't on the list? (You know, the ones with miis)

Why we're not getting a real Mario and Sonic crossover still baffles me.

Good to see Golden Sun so far up this list. I hope that they release a compilation of the series on the Switch if they don't plan on releasing a 4th one.

The 3 or more games rule is screwing over my boi Splatoon :(

Triple Jump: Every Nintendo Franchise Ranked Splatoon and ARMS: Am I a joke to you

"Does anyone like Dillon's Rolling Western?" *raises hand* 😄 "GO TO BED WITHOUT SUPPER." O-oh. 😢

When Ben said "you could even call it a" i had a small glimmer of hope, but alas, you could call it a $ missed opportunity for..no I'm not going to finish it

The early entries in this list are proof that what critics enjoy and what actual people enjoy are completely different

Pretty solid list, although I wouldn’t say Golden Sun is canned. The takahashi brothers considered a fourth game if fan demand would be high enough even after golden sun underperformed compared to the first two series (albeit around 800k or so). So really it’s up to Camelot on the series’ fate.

One of the fun aspects of lockdown is seeing a glimpse of everyone’s home space. Peter your background is flippin’ fantastic! And there is something about Ben since lockdown that he looks exceedingly handsome. That curly blond with your eyes man, it’s very flattering. I hope your doing amazing now that your back together.

I love the work you guys put in these videos.

To be fair Torna was given the lowest score because it’s more of a dlc prequel then an actual new game.

This video really shows that the players opinions on these games can wildly differ with the critics.

Amazing video!

Outstanding effort as always boys!

Even if it's at number 4, I somehow feel like Mother is being underrated. I've played loads of masterpieces, but none of them even come close to the sheer perfection of Mother 3.

MOTHER is completely perfect. It deserves number one.

Keep the big lists coming!

Great entertainment as always, keep it up guys!

Golden Sun and Metroid Prime get high spots on the list. ...I love it.

It’s pretty great to see how high Golden sun ranked! There’s a lot of things that point towards Golden sun coming to the switch somehow (either a port, remake, or sequel). I’m pretty optimistic with that series returning!

Well done boys. These feel like a ton of work and prep go into them 👍

Did you overlooked Osu Tatakae Ouendan/Elite Beat Agents or did you count them as separate series?

You asked why the fourth most rated series is letting get dust by Nintendo. Answer is that the series is intrinsically related to writer Shigesato Itoi. But he just doesn't want to make more because it would be like those stars that get some great first albulms, but then they release albums that are good but are only remebered for the first three albums.

Dillon's Rolling Western 1 was amazing, and I will steal your supper.

Honestly totally shocked by the low rankings of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon & Ranger. Absolute love both of these games

My problem isn’t that you separated Mario main line games into 2D and 3D...my problem is that you didn’t do it for the legend of Zelda. Do it for both or do it for neither!

Came for the "oh it's a nintendo franchise ranking that popped into my recommendations....um cool I guess I'll watch?" stayed for how hilarious this was.

Omg style boutique is so nostalgic it was so much fun. In saying that maybe that is rose tinted glasses talking. 😂😂😂 My favourite Nintendo franchises are definitely pokemon and smash bros although I love mario galaxy and zelda wind waker too.

Awesome work man! 👏

Love these long form videos

Kirby is number 1. I don't get as excited for a Mario or zelda title as I do for any Kirby game. I'm so sad he isn't higher... I play a lot and i mean a lot of video games but the Kirby series is one of my favorites next to undertale, persona 5, ace attorney, and earthbound.

Wait, DK64 did bad? That was my favorite game for years, and I always enjoyed coming back to it.

loving this channel

Great to see golden sun so high up there ^_^ makes me really happy! Hopefully people that haven't heard of or played the series might give it a whirl. Heres to hoping for something golden sun to be revealed whether its a port, sequel or whatever, I'll defs be getting into it!

I'd appreciate this list but as we all know, Games Critics really can't be trusted And they missed the Magical Series, among others.

What about ‘Splatoon’? Otherwise, a great list

Over the past 2 months, when I go to bed I've been listening to Triple Jump videos in the background until I doze off listening to them. Recently, I've been listening to this & each and every time I've fallen asleep before I'm halfway through. I literally know so much of this video off by heart.

Really great work.

These lists are always in a completely different order to how I would rank them, but they're quality. Great info in your videos and an awful lot of 69s in this one! Pikmin also made me c-

"This is one of Nintendo's strangest and least well known franchises , which makes it's placement just outside the top 20 all the more impressive. Number 19..."😜

I really felt like shit this morning and this video gave me the foundation to get settled. Listening to you guys feels warm, like old friends :)

Thanks For The Video!!!!

I personally think Xenoblade would of made top 10 had it not been reviewed by a ton of people who don't like JRPG's. 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.

12:32 don't you mean THIS GAME BLOWS?

Would the Ouendan! series count for this list? It had two Japanese entries and a Western re-imagining: Elite Beat Agents.

I'd love to see a ranking of Capcom's franchises. Rank them by each sub-series - examples: Mega Man (Classic) series, Mega Man X series, Street Fighter II series, Street Fighter Alpha series, etc.

As a Fire Emblem i am very shocked (and happy) we cracked the top 20. I was expecting us in the 30's. The series is a little...inconsistently consistent. Being many are broadly similar with stories ranging from engaging (Genealogy, Three Houses, Awakening), pretty standard (nearly all of them) and why oh god dear god why (Fates)

Great video. Just wanted to let you know you left out the star tropics games. There were only 2 games which were both released on the nes.

Thank you for putting mother so high! I was scared it was not going to be on the list! Earthbound is my favorite game of all time and i hope it gets a remake.

any chance of a star wars ranking any time soon?

Thank you boys, a lot of work was obviously put into this and the other lists. With the daily trash that other channels put out, I am always happy to see new content from [redacted], [redacted], TripleJump, and [redacted].

15:57 Well that unlocked a deeply hidden childhood memory!

Bro, don't chat shit about Pokemon Mystery Dungeon! Those games are awesome, and clearly most people agree since they have really strong user scores. Explorers of Sky sits at 8.9!!! The critics are wrong on this one, and you've obviously never played them

When you look at the deciding factor between Mario winning over Zelda, it mainly has to do with name recognition.

Please Nintendo, we NEED another F-Zero!!!

Great list! Am I missing something, or when do they talk about Goemon?

What the shit I just randomly stumbled upon Ben Potter and Tiny Peter again!? Oh boy this day got a lot better
