Which Nintendo system introduced the best original IPs in Nintendo's lineup?

Incomplete list from memory:

Arcade: Super Mario, Donkey Kong

NES: The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Punch-Out, Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus

Gameboy/Gameboy Color: Kirby, Pokemon

SNES: Mario Kart, Star Fox, F-Zero

N64: Super Smash Bros., Animal Crossing

Gamecube: Pikmin, Odama

Gameboy Advance: Advance Wars, WarioWare

DS: Nintendogs, Brain Age

Wii: Wii Sports, Wii Fit, Xenoblade

3DS: Codename S.T.E.A.M.

Wii U: Nintendo Land, Splatoon

Switch: Arms, 1,2 Switch

I know I am missing a ton of games. You guys figure it out :p

missed Fire Emblem and Xenoblade, as well as various spinoff series like Luigi's Mansion or Mario Party

overall i would say its pretty evenly distributed. its a tough choice

You could say the NES because,you know,it was the one that started all but I will go with Super Nintendo. Counting Nintendo IPs, spin-offs and third parties you got:

-Mario Kart
-DK Country
-Star Fox
-F Zero
-Megaman X
-Pilotwings
-Secret of Mana
-Saga
-Chrono Trigger
-Tales
-Yoshi Island
-Earthbound

And many more.

The only correct answer is NES.

You forgot Wario, a Game Boy IP. And Arcade didn't introduced Super Mario IP, the NES did. Mario Bros is not a Super Mario game.

Hmmm. Swap Punch Out! from NES to arcade? I'm going SNES for my vote.

- I'm full ****** right now. NES

How can this be anything other than the NES; Mario (SMB anyway), Zelda, Metroid and Fire Emblem.

Arcade isn't a Nintendo platform.

Plus not every arcade around the world had Nintendo games. The NES introduced those to the masses.

I want to say SNES for F-Zero and StarFox so bad but how can you not vote for the console that introduced both Zelda and Metroid ?

There are only two answers. The NES and the wrong answer.

Yeah I am going with the NES. There is a reason why people call that period the Golden Age of Nintendo.
