Nintendo Hype-o-meter (Franchise hype ranking)

[trestres]

Donkey Kong should be in the 1st group. Seriously, a new DK platformer game would become the most hyped announcement, ever rivaling Zelda. If not just put it on the second group, because we are talking about hype, so there's always hope among the Nintendo fans that DK will be revived in a serious form, unlike the crappy excuses for games that had been getting released after DK64.

Mario Platformers, Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, Star Fox, Pikmin, F-Zero, Super Smash. Bros, Mario Kart, Kirby, Animal Crossing, Punch-Out, Mario Party, Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, Mother, Wario Platformers.

Then I can think of Pilotwings, Kid Icarus, Yoshi Platformers, Luigi's Mansion/platofrmers, Super Princess Peach platformers, Golden Sun, Mario RPG's, Sin & Punishment, Wii Series, WarioWare, The training games (brain training/age, cooking, face, vision, English, etc), Rythm Heaven, Wave Race, 1080º, Excite Series, Chibi Robo, Custom Robo, Eternal Darkness, Starfy, Endless Ocean, Nintendogs, Elite Beat Agents, Mario&Sonic, Duck Hunt, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Puzzle League, Pokem Stadium, Main Pokemon RPGs, Mario Sports.

And then a lot of others that maybe you could put in a Group 4 like Mach Rider, Star Tropics, Faxanadu, Ballon Fight, Ice Climbers, Trace Memory, Lost Magic, Doshin the Giant, Geist, Odama, Magical Vacation, Disaster: DoC, Captain Rainbow, Dynamic Slash, Span Smasher, Line Attack Heroes, Baten Kaitos, Soma Bringer, Glory of Heracles, Cosmic Walker, Band Bros, Meteos, Jump Super Stars, Polarium, Picross, Wagamama Fashion, Hogan's Alley, Urban Champion, WildGunman, Wrecking Crew, Sky Skipper, Clu Clu Land, HeliFire, Space Demon, Radar Scope, Space Fire Bird, Space Fever, Monkey Magic, Sheriff, Space Launcher, SF-HiSplitter, Computer Othello, MR Game & Watch, Kensax, Wild Gunman, Test Driver, Battle Shark, Sky Hawk, Shooting Trainer, Link's CB Training, Tingle RPG's, Block Fever, Popeye, Ladies Gold, Arm Wrestling, Gum Shoe, Stack-Up, R.O.B., Devil World, Pro-Wrestling, Kung Fu Masters, Eggsplode, To The Earth, Barker Bill's Trick Shooting, Joy Mech Fight, Battle Clash, Yoshi's Cookie, Yoshi's Saffari, Vegas Stakes, Metal Combat, Tin Star, Stunt Race FX, Uniracers, Kirby's Avalanche, Old DK series, Mario vs DK, Donkey Konga, Kirby's Airride, Panel de Pon, Marvelous, Tetrisphere, Mishcief Makers, Mario Paint, Cubivore, GiftPia, ArtStyle Series, Kururin, Eyeshield 21, Magnetica, MaBoShi, Lonpos, Bonsai Barber, Rock n' Roll Climber, Yakuman, Balloon Kid, Radar Mission, Solar Striker, X, The Frog/Bell Tolls, Pinball Nintendo games, Mole Mania, Pokemon Trading Card, Crystalis, Kirby Tilt n' Tumble, Card Hero, Monster Tactics, Warlocked, Teleroboxer, Galactic Pinball, Red Alarm, Panic Bomber, Family Jockey, Hamtaro, Drill Dozer, Picto Chat, Pokemon Dash, Electroplankton, Pokemon Trozei, Project Hacker, Touch Panic, Hotel Dusk, Master of Illusion, Jet Impulse, Slid Adventure MAGKID, Exclamation Warriors, ASH, Mistery Case Files, Monado.
