Is Mario C-Tier? Classification of the largest Nintendo series

As I am sure you are familiar, Nintendo Switch 2 is on us. So, with a new console on the horizon, what is the best time to look at some of the greatest legendary publishers games?

For decades, Nintendo has provided us with some of the most famous and best -selling game series, but here, I chose 18 of the most famous. Yes, this list can extend to a hundred, but we do not want to be here all day, right? From Super Mario to Zelda, we all have our favorites, some of them (sorry Kirby) never pressed it. I got its ranking through one of the IGN Tier menus, taking into account purely My personal enjoyment From every series over the years. Take a look at my layer list here:

I am sure that it is not surprising to see both Super Mario and Legend of Zelda in the S-Tier categories. Two of the most influential, very important video game series, to do so at all, it’s really illogical. On the other end of the scale … I am sure that some eyebrows will be raised in the Super Smash Bros. In C. Let me explain myself before hitting me in the comments, please. It was not Smash Bros. Something to me, I am afraid. I am not just a fan of the fighting game, but at a time when a lot of people were playing with friends, I was simply enjoying multiple players, whether these times, guitar hero or Call of Duty. I do not have a connection with crushing bros. What a lot does, and for this, I can only ask for a complete remission.

Do not agree with me? I think you are better than Pokemon? Well, why don’t you get the classification of some of the largest series of Nintendo yourself in the layer list below, where you can compare S, A, B and C and D levels with the entire IGN community.

What is your favorite Nintendo series that did not reach this list? Tell us in the comments, as well as the reason for classifying the games in the arrangement you chose.
