Making a top10 nintendo games is a hard task. I loved DK64, Luigi's Mansion and MM, but they don't belong in the top 10imo.

For me, in no paticular order:
Super Mario
Link to the Past
Super Mario World
Metroid Prime
Ocarina of Time
Super Mario 64
Super Mario Galaxy
Pokémon Blue/Red (was rly close to put Gold/Silver instead but I went with Blue/Red since they are what started everything)
Donkey Kong Country
Super Metroid

Honorable mention to all Zelda games, Earthbound, Pokémon Gold/Silver, Goldeneye, SSBMelee, Super Mario Galaxy2, Paper Mario: Thousand Year door.



 

What?! I can't hear you over all this awsome! - Pyrrhon (Kid Icarus:Uprising)

Final Ultimate Legendary Earth Power Super Max Justice Future Miracle Dream Beautiful Galaxy Big Bang Little Bang Sunrise Starlight Infinite Fabulous Totally Final Wonderful Arrow...FIRE! - Wonder-Red (The Wonderful101)

 

Around the Network

Paper Mario
Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door
Super Paper Mario
Fire Emblem Awakening
Super Mario Sunshine
Mario Kart DS
Mario Kart Wii
Mario Kart 7
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Pokemon Heart Gold
Legend Of Zelda Majoras Mask

In no particular order (yes I know it is 11)



I can't say for sure what is the best, but these are my favorite Nintendo-published games.

1. Metroid Prime
2. Xenoblade Chronicles
3. Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars
4. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
5. Super Mario Bros. 3
6. The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening
7. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
8. Super Mario 64
9. Pokemon Red/Blue
10. Advance Wars

Once I develop nostalgia for Fire Emblem: Awakening it should be high up there too. Also, Skyward Sword and Link's Awakening are practically tied. I enjoy them both for exactly the same reasons, oddly enough.

Pokémon Emerald

Star Fox 64 3D

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Fire Emblem: Awakening

Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword

I've named 1st Party games only.

 

Savvy Style is another 1st Party IP, but its really a game for Fashion everything fans.



You said Nintendo exclusive games, but I am going to just stick with Nintendo published to limit the list some more. You only had Nintendo published games in your list anyway. I started with a list of over 20 games, and this is what I was able to cut down to. I tried to limit myself to one game in each franchise as best I could. I also tried to represent games across all the different genres that Nintendo dabbles in.

Diddy Kong Racing
Donkey Kong Country
Mario Kart Wii
Metroid Prime (Trilogy if you will allow it)
Perfect Dark
Pikmin 2
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Super Mario World
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Super Smash Bros. Brawl
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
