This is what I've determined as Nintendo's rankings for their franchises, based on how they treat them (acknowledgement, frequency of releases, merch, etc)

Mario
Pokémon
The Legend of Zelda
Super Smash Bros.
Animal Crossing
Fire Emblem
Kirby
Donkey Kong
Pikmin
Rhythm Heaven
Kid Icarus
Wario(Land/Ware)
Star Fox
Metroid
Chibi-Robo

Punch-Out
Excite (Bike)
Mother
Golden Sun
Advance Wars
The Legendary Starfy     
Sin and Punishment
Custom Robo
F-Zero
Wave Race
StarTropics

Line indicates a huge gap in treatment
How would you rank them in your order of preference?

Smash Bros
Metroid
Mario
Pokemon

the others i haven't played enough or don't care about

[TooB]

All I say is, we need another F-Zero, provided they don't fuck it up
we need another Sin and Punishment, provided they don't fuck it up
we need them to bring mother 3 here somehow, which they're already fucking up
and we need a new Startropics, provided they don't fuck it up

[TooB]

and we need a new Ice Hockey

[Hiro]

we need them to bring mother 3 here somehow, which they're already fucking up

there's somewhat reputable rumors that they will be releasing it for the switch with a new localization

[YPrrrr]

Wow all these years and I had no idea Startropics was a Nintendo property

I'd go:
Super Smash Bros
Pokémon
Advance Wars
Mario Kart
Zelda
Animal Crossing
Golden Sun
Mother
Mario
Kirby
Wario Land
Fire Emblem
Star Fox

[Hiro]

I was counting all Mario spinoffs like Kart, Party, Tennis etc under the umbrella "Mario" banner"
If we're just rating Mario Franchises it goes
Mario Kart
Super Mario
Paper Mario
Mario & Luigi
Mario Party
Luigi's Mansion
Mario Tennis
Yoshi
Mario Golf
Mario Sluggers
Mario Strikers
Dr. Mario
New Super Mario Bros
Mario vs Donkey Kong
