I'm surprised Final Fantasy wasn't a hit earlier than 7, although 7 probably remains the most successful title in the series.

Diablo was pretty successful as well, although it was based on titles released before it so I guess it didn't establish itself as groundbreaking in any way.

I'm surprised arcade games like Time Crisis and Daytona didn't have a mention. They've been in arcades for a large number of years. And of course games like Guitar Hero and Rockband should be in for the whole new legion of devoted fans they have created.

I agree that the Guitar Hero franchise should have gotten a mention as it's bringing in thousands of casual gamers to the market.

Definitely agree with Super Mario Bros, I think we could easily say that without Mario, Nintendo wouldn't be the giant that it is today in the market.

Probably wouldn't agree with Nintendogs, just because it's not a game that everyone can pick up and enjoy easily as many others on the list are. Otherwise it's a good list

Nintendogs is surprisingly popular with the younger market. Every kid who has a DS has Nintendogs in their game collection. Not to mention Pokemon and surprisingly, brain training!

I hope series like Mario, Zelda and Final Fantasy continue in the future (should be a no brainer!), as they have always pushed the boundaries of gaming to ever greater heights! Just think about Final Fantasy 7, Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time here.

Another fighting game I was thinking of that might have been mentioned is Mortal Kombat. Its younger than Street Fighter, but still spawned a loyal fanbase, with Subzero being a mainstream character for quite a while.

But since this isn't a complete list, I'm sure that and others were mentioned but not posted in this article.

I just thought of another game which would probably be in there: Need for Speed. Not sure but it might have been the first street racing game series out there with the option of being the cops and booking people.
