Nintendo Games - Tier Maker
Nintendo Games - Official Tier
Editorial placements for Nintendo Games, with the reasoning behind each list.
Nintendo Games - Blind Rank
The next character from Nintendo Games is drawn for you, so you never pick who comes next. Top 5 holds one per slot. The Tier List works like the regular board, with several characters in each row.
Nintendo Games - Versus
Run a fast elimination tournament for Nintendo Games and keep choosing winners until only one character remains.
Nintendo Games - Bracket
Build a championship bracket for Nintendo Games. Drag the seeds, or fill them at random. Click a fighter to send them through, or roll the match.
Nintendo Games - Alignment Chart
Arrange Nintendo Games in a grid or circle with up to 16 sections. Place characters freely, including between sections.
Nintendo Games - 0–10
Give each Nintendo Games character a score from 0 to 10. Same scores sit together, from 10 at the top down to 0.
Number keys set 0 to 9. Tap a character on the board to change that score.
Characters (192)
All 192 Nintendo Games, Ranked
Every game on the board, from the 1983 arcade debut of Mario Bros. to the Switch era. The ranking weighs how well each game holds up today, how much it defined its platform, and how central it is to Nintendo's catalog. Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild anchor the top, Super Mario 64 and Super Metroid set the standards for their genres, and the portable classics from Tetris to Pokémon Red and Blue carry the same weight as the console landmarks.
