Super Mario RPG had only one game, so... Xenoblade, I think.



Around the Network

No Xenoblade?



I like...

Golden Sun
Magica Vacation
Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru English (For the frog the bell tolls)

Would love to see this games on nintendo HD consoles.



Xenoblade I'd say. Followed by Fire emblem and Pokemon.



Congrats on your first thread!

Hope it's the first of many!

Either Fire Emblem or Pokemon, a lot of people will say Xenoblade but the are only 2 games so far in the series, individually they're the best rpgs but as a franchise it's between Fire Emblem and Pokemon as they've been consistent for 2 decades.



Xenoblade for me, even though XCX was somewhat of a disappointment.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Yeah, I wanted to focus only on series that have at least 3 games under their belt.  Something isn't really a "franchise" until it has at least 3 games.  That's just my opinion, but feel free to post Xenoblade  anyway if you want!

Thanks!



To be fair, Fire Emblem and Advance Wars are SRPGS. So I won't count those, for me as a traditional RPG, I'd go with Pokemon. As much as I love Earthbound and Xenoblade, Pokemon is just pure fun that I find hard to get bored of.
