1. Super Mario Bros. (NES)
2. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (N64)
3. Super Mario Galaxy (Wii)
4. Mario Kart Wii (Wii)
5. Tetris (Game Boy)
6. Super Mario 64 (N64)
7. Super Mario World (SNES)
8. The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past (SNES)
9. Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition (Wii)
10. Super Street Fighter II (SNES)

These aren’t bad choices at all, but I personally would not rate Mario Kart Wii as the fourth best Nintendo title of all time.
