Which is #4?










I figure the top 3 are fairly obvious, and the ones below that are still great, so they deserve some recognition too. What's your #4?

I'm curious as to what you think they are because all of the "obvious" choices are in the poll IMO.

I mean Mario/FF/Zelda are the obvious 1/2/3, which is why the poll question is fourth favorite. Sorry if that wasn't very clear.

Probably Mario. I feel like it's a little questionable to say it started on the NES though

Ninja Gaiden

For me. Metroid and FE are very close though. It's tough, since Metroid's best is better than the best FE, but there's a lot more FE games I like. Mega Man suffers from the same problem as Metroid, except that there are way more MM games I don't care for.

Dragon Quest > Final Fantasy > Zelda > Mario >= Castlevania >= Metroid > Fire Emblem > Mother > Mega Man > Ninja Gaiden

Dragon Quest is easily my favorite video game series. Castlevania, Mario, and Metroid are all really close. The Mega Man X series is pretty fun, but I could never get into the original series (because I suck at them). I've never played a Ninja Gaiden game.

1. Super Mario Bros
2. Metroid?
3. Dragon Quest?
4. Mega Man?

I really need to play more Castlevanias. I could see it potentially rising to third. I have both of the recent compilation collections as well as a bunch of the more modern ones through GWG, so it is just a matter of when.

Is this all for a #4 Dunno joke?

Anyways, this is hard for me. Castlevania is my #1, but MM, FF, LoZ, Mother, and Metroid are all at varying levels near the top (with FE, SMB, NG, DQ at the bottom in that order, but all are still good, except DQ where I could only really get into 1 and 4)

Let's go with Mother for me, I guess.

So is this my #4 overall, or my favorite in the poll because the obvious top 3 were omitted

1. Castlevania
2. Mega Man
3. Ninja Gaiden
4. Final Fantasy

Do I vote Castlevania or Final Fantasy please advise

Weirdly enough, Final Fantasy.

Top two are Zelda and Mario. The inclusion of Mother forced me to realize I value two of its games more than the output of entire franchises so, it's gotta be this way.

After that it's Metroid or Mega Man depending on my mood and then I have no strong feelings on the rest.

After SMB/FF/LoZ, Metroid is the only one that I've fully played more than one game from, so it pretty much wins by default. All of the others are ones I've barely played or not played at all, aside from Mother (finished Earthbound, tried the first Mother but dropped it early), which I wouldn't consider myself a huge fan of.

Fire Emblem > Dragon Quest > Final Fantasy > Super Mario Bros > Zelda > Mother

And then I can't say I even like any of Castlevania/Mega Man/Metroid/Ninja Gaiden, so they all tie for 7th.

What are the obvious top 3? It's supposed to be #4 on the poll, though. I'm not even sure what's missing, since other big franchises like Contra/Metal Gear/Tetris were released on other systems first.

Haha, I figured it'd be interesting due to yesterday's front page poll: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/8883-of-the-classic-franchises-that-got-their-start-on-the-nes . That one has a top 3 that are way ahead of the others, so I thought asking for #4 might get more balanced results.

And it did! Most of these series are pretty even in the poll, other than Ninja Gaiden and Mother, which are fairly far behind the rest.

My actual fourth favorite would have been Famicom Wars but that wasn't an option! (I mean, I don't like the Famicom Wars games, but I do love Advance Wars)
