Is Mario Kart an S-layer? The largest Nintendo series

I'm sure you know, the Nintendo Switch 2 is coming soon. So with the new console coming, what better time to review some of the greatest games of legendary publishers?

Nintendo has provided us with some of the most famous and best-selling game series of all time for decades, but here I have picked 18 of the most famous games. Yes, this list may extend to 100s, but we don't want to be here all day, right? From Super Mario to Zelda, we all have our favorites, and some (sorry Kirby) we never fully follow. I've ranked them by one of our IGN Tier lists, purely thinking about it My personal enjoyment Every series over the years. Check out my layer list here:

I'm sure it's no surprise to see Super Mario and the Legend of Zelda in my S-tier category. The most influential and crucial thing ever is the very interesting video game series, which is really a effortless one. On the other end of the scale…I'm sure I'll raise some eyebrows when I put the Super C brother in the C layer. Please let me explain and then beat me up in the comments. I'm afraid Smash Bros. has never been my business. Not only am I not a fighting game fan, but I just love other multiplayer and party games when many people play with friends, whether it’s these moments, guitar heroes or call of duty. I just had no contact with Smash Bros.

Disagree with me? Think Pikmin is better than Pokémon? Well, why not take part in the rankings of some of Nintendo's biggest series in the level list below, you can compare your own s, a, b, c and d Teries to the entire IGN community.
