We've been blessed over the last 3 decades of Nintendo with all the great iconic characters and gaming franchises. Mario, Zelda, Mega man, Metroid, Castlevania to name a few. 2 main questions for the point of discussion: 1. What was your favorite gaming franchise(s) on Nintendo? 2. What were some of the main franchise rivalries from other companies that you can recall? eg. Sega, Sony, Microsoft.

I'll start with the obvious: Mario for Nintendo what Sonic was for Sega. It was fun times seeing these 2 franchises going head to head in the early 90s!
