Nintendo have made a plethora of games which are visually cute over the years. What game, or indeed games do you think rank as some of the cutest, visually?. I'm asking this question on the back of watching Galaxy 2 videos - stylistically, it's incredibly cute, far more so than the original was.  

Chibi Robo and Pikmin are the two games I feel have the cutest characters in a Nintendo game for me, by a long shot.

Samus Aran?
 

Bah, I hate seeing Samus in pictures like that. She is supposed to be hard, cold, a killer. Not stupid and lovable.  
 
I think the cutest game is Wind Waker!

Kirby was the single cutest nintendo game.

The Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap. And every single Kirby game. 
 
God, I love Kirby. I need to get Super Star Ultra one of these days.

Kirby, Wind Waker, Pikmin... thats all i got

Kirby, hands down.

Diddy Kong Racing. But that was more of a Rare game. 

Kirby Crystal Shards (or any Kirby game, I suppose).  The designs of the characters made everything seem cute.
 
That, Animal Crossing or Nintendogs.

" yoshi's story. "

Kirby.

I would have to say Animal Crossing, Kirby, and Pikmin.

Kirby. By a long shot.   
Pikmin is more of a funny weird than cute. 
Yoshi's Story is like pouring syrup onto your eyeballs. Sweet in concept; but ultimately torturous.

A 'hard, cold killer' in a Nintendo game? Right. "

" @HandsomeDead: Let's see here...  1.  Killed Ike's father. 2.  Threatened to torture Ike's sister. 3.  Murdered the fuck out of countless other people. 4.  In Path of Radiance, worked for a bloodthirsty, warmongering psychopath. 5.  In Radiant Dawn, worked for a manipulative, warmongering backstabber. 6.  Had no discernible qualms either way.7.  He's like Darth Vader without the whiny Anakin Skywalker backstory. 8.  GENOCIDE CUTTAH! "

Kirby. Also, he's the BEST Nintendo character. Coincidence? 
 
 
Entirely. He's the best because he can fly and shoot air out of his mouth at lethal speeds, and also consume people's souls and memories to become a doppleganger.

Just because she's a badass bounty hunter doesn't mean that she can't be lovable.  I don't ever recall hearing that bounty hunters were required to constantly have an enraged, constipated look on their faces like Kirby in the average North American box art.  When he isn't depicted like he eats nails for breakfast, though, Kirby is pretty darn cute.  So is Peach, for that matter.

Earthbound anyone?

Sorry, but I disagree.  That seems totally against her character.  I do agree that because someone's tough, doesn't mean they have to be completely 2D, but when has Samus ever been depicted like that?  Peach and Kirby, yes, but not Samus.  She's a hardend bounty hunter that had her entire family killed and spent her entire life since then killing people.  I don't see her having a "hehe, look at THESE boys" side. Also, if you're complaining again what happened to Kirby in the US, take a look at what happened to Ratchet & Clank in Japan.  Or the Powerpuff Girls for that matter. It works both ways  :P "

Super Mario World 2:  Yoshi's Island

You mean THIS one?

" @lead_farmer: @lead_farmer: i remeber muting the tv or turning it off when it came on, and it didnt help that my friends and my little bro LOVED it. other than that, i just with the game had more levels. "

I'd go with Animal Crossing, although I haven't played one of the games in years.

Wind Waker and Minish Cap were both up there on the cute art style meter. I happen to really like that art style though. 

 I am the fucking clean up man
