If you're going to break down the top tier Nintendo IP of today
Legend of Zelda - NES, but N64 for 3D Zelda
Super Mario 2D - NES
Super Mario 3D - N64
Super Mario Kart - SNES
Pokemon - Game Boy
Super Smash Bros. - N64
Animal Crossing - N64
Mario Party - N64
Splatoon - Wii U
Luigi's Mansion - GameCube
For the A-tier this is really no serious contest ... the N64 wins this (post-NES) hands down.
Like I think it's fair to say Mario 64 is basically the start of a new Mario IP lineage (Mario Odyssey, Sunshine, Galaxy, 3D World, etc. all are descendants of Mario 64 not really Super Mario Bros.).
