tricky one. Mario, Zelda, Mega Man, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Metal Gear, all had notable starts here. Metroid did too but, well, that really kicked into gear after Super Metroid and frankly it's a lesser series to most of those. a bunch of series are in that situation.

Super Mario Bros.
The Legend of Zelda
Final Fantasy

first two feel like locks considering they became some of the biggest and most synonymous games with Nintendo to this day. FF feels like a lock as well considering it defined JRPGs and continues to this day as one of the most successful JRPG series out there. i guess the weight on choices i'd give is 1) importance to the system, 2) lasting legacy. if it's something talked about to this day or if it left a significant mark, basically. while Mario 3 obviously is important, i don't think that one game is going to be more relevant than an entire series such as Metal Gear, Dragon Quest, or Mega Man. and between SMB1 and SMB3, it's gotta be 1, as opposed to arguments for MM2 or DQ.


remove Final Fantasy
add Dragon Quest 3
add Mega Man 2

would prob make FF a 5th. but something's gotta be said for music and platformers, with that being MM2's importance.
