Nes
I think Donkey Kong Country sold over 8 millions, but still. I guess Donkey Kong was very succeful for Nintendo back in the NES days. Nintendo has very succeful franchises. Originally Posted by Airdevil

Of course mario takes the 1st place
heck it was because of mario many people like ME got into gaming
i feel sorry for Final Fantasy though, they've been in existince since 1987, yet even their 10 years extra of existence couldnt beat Pokemon which has been out since 1998, more than 10 years after FF existed....sad really...lol
