Hey, not trying to be picky, but I have a couple questions. First which order is the list, is Donkey Kong 1 or 10? Also maybe it will remain the same, but we are ranking franchises not individual games, so do you want to keep the same order? Finally, the Dreamcast is part of the PS2/GC/Xbox generation, so Soul Calibur doesn't qualify for this, so which franchise do you want to replace it? Thanks.

Oh, could you clarify what counts and what doesn't?

You put Super Smash Bros. on the OP, and that came out the same year as Soul Calibur on the DC (it actually came out 98 in the arcade). Actually, by the time Paper Mario came out most of the great Dreamcast games were already released (JSR, Shenmue, SoA, Grandia II, etc).

I guess we can remove the Dreamcast games, but that still leaves me confused on when to stop counting PC games. I just assumed anything before the PS2 counted.
