Forums - Gaming - From this list of Nintendo franchises, how many had you NOT heard of?

 

I hadn't heard of...

1-2 of them 73 23.47%
 
3-4 of them 12 3.86%
 
5-6 of them 10 3.22%
 
7-8 of them 8 2.57%
 
9-10 of them 10 3.22%
 
I'd heard of all of them 198 63.67%
 
Total:311

Never heard of 5 of them. Even when I googled the ones I didnt know I did not recognise the pictures :(


Dont judge me though. I was a Sega kid. I could list of games from sega consoles all day and most people on this site would probably be thinking I made them up.

I should make an online quiz for this site and see how many games people can name in a certain time.

Pilot Wings. Never heard of it and looks rubbish to be honest .
Wave Race see above.
Advance Wars looks like a cheap version of super robots. please dont kill me
Custom robo: no comment
Mother: It looks like I should know it but I just cant recall it. Looks like I game I would play.



The rest I played and loved at least one game from the franchise.



Nobody's perfect. I aint nobody!!!

Killzone 2. its not a fps. it a FIRST PERSON WAR SIMULATOR!!!! ..The true PLAYSTATION 3 launch date and market dominations is SEP 1st

Around the Network

Zangeki
Captain Rainbow
Famicom Wars

I didn't think it would be fair to include ones that never saw the light of day outside Japan.

I know all of those already. Gotta go more obscure than that... ; )

The goal wasn't to pick ones nobody knew in a hipster-ish "you've probably never heard of them" way, it was to see how recognized their less-well-known franchises were, in light of the recent "have you heard of Metroid" thread.

No need for apologies, I should have explained this in OP. I'll add it now. :)



I know all of these franchises and then some. That said, I can see how some younger gamers might not be familiar with some of these properties. A lot of the video game industry in general is still a mystery to non-gamers.



Joke detector...tingling.

To be honest I thought it was a troll thread. I mean this site is very Nintendo friendly. So you not only go onto a gaming site, but you go onto a gaming with loads of Nintendo fans and ask is people have ever heard of Metroid? 

 

I know about metroid because I owned it growing up. Still have my carts for them. If I never heard of that series though I 100% would have knew about it after visiting this site. If you were to stop random people in town though.....
