Great post, thanks for giving it so much thought!

@bold: I agree. Considering both Super Maro and The Legend of Zelda are 30 years old, it's remarkable how consistently great they've been - excluding the non-canon CD-i games.

So yeah, I knew both were good but I'm honestly surprised by just how consistent they've been now that I've actually looked into it. Even accounting for the earlier Nes/Snes titles likely getting spotted a few points that more critical, modern reviewers likely would not grant them, the scores are still absurd.

That both could be averaging in the 90's after that many titles over the course of three decades and having never even strayed once into the 70's is one heck of an accomplishment.

Holy research, Batman!

Yeah, Super Mario and Zelda are, in my mind, the two greatest game series of all time for just that reason: sustained excellence for three decades.
