For a proper answer, if sales are what matter:
1.27M
Super Metroid: 1.42M
Zelda II: 4.38M
1.67M
9.30M
Sonic the Hedgehog 2: 6.03M
Huh?
Waaa?
EEEE?
Ninja Gaiden something: (We don't have the sales figures)
Contra wha? Anyways no sales figures.
Rayman... meh
Earthworm jim: No real sales figures
Don't think we have the sales for Jazz Jackrabbit.
When on this subject, it's really important for us to set the goalposts right. Is it awesomeness or sales that count? Because in many and most cases these are not super compatible (see above).
