As great as things are now, it is undeniable that the decade in which Nintendo would transition from NES to SNES…and then to N64 (and almost even GCN) is their greatest. Gaming franchises such as Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Kirby, etc etc., would go from arcade-style games over to being fully-fledged, immersive experiences which you could sink dozens of hours into. Ocarina of Time, Mario World 1+2, Super Metroid, Kirby Superstar, Smash Bros, MarioKart, Earthbound, and so many more! What a time in Nintendo’s history.
