– Collider ranks Nintendo's unofficial "Big 5" franchises — its flagship series developed exclusively in-house, distinct from licensed properties like Pokémon or Kirby.
– Pikmin, launched in 2001 for GameCube, ranks lowest; it remains a niche but beloved strategy series, boosted by Olimar's strong Super Smash Bros. presence and increasingly cute marketing.
– Splatoon ranks above it, praised for its inventive ink-based shooter concept, its Inkling and Octoling characters, spin-off esports tournaments and in-game "Squid Sisters" concerts, and crossover appearances in Smash Bros. Ultimate and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
– The remaining three franchises in the ranking (likely including Mario and Zelda) are not detailed in the available excerpt, which cuts off before covering them.
