what about golden sun? its the best nintendo RPG, eventhough we haven't seing it in ages.

I see Smash Bros., but what about Super Mario Bros.?

I see it in your subsequent posts, but not the OP. Level 1?

Mario is right there on the list.

You should definitely seperate Mario into main games, (where you've put it) Mario Kart (also in the first group) Mario Sports (second group) Mario RPG's (also second group) and Mario Party (probably at the very end of the second group, difficult to rank though).

You should also include Wario Land and Wario Ware, both ranked seperately.

Then you could also add Wave Race and 1080°.

I definitely haven't seen Star Fox or Pikmin overshadow Metroid in hype >_> Possibly Kirby, but not really.

I'll add Wario Land and different Mario categories now. Hold on.

I see him now! Wow. That was weird.

Opening post edited to include different Mario-specifications as well as Wario Land.

......how about Wii titles (Play, Music, Sports, Fit, Hysterectomy)? They don't excite us, but we all end up buying them!

Really? People seem to be pretty excited about Animal Crossing when it comes around, moreso than Pikmin. Hard to say with Star Fox since that, as a series, has really had it's ups and downs.
