I think I'd just be less of one, infact a lot less without good ol Mario Kart.



Around the Network

Yes because outside of 3D Mario and RPGs I don't care about his games.



Nintendo and PC gamer

Good one.

Maybe not. :-O

90% of the Nintendo games I had as kid had Mario on them.



Yes.

There are many more Nintendo IP's that have come out of the years. If Mario is the only thing that makes you a "Nintendo Fan", then you aren't a Nintendo Fan. You are just a Mario Fan.



Yes. My first console game was LttP. Still as a kid I played an equal amount of third party games on Nintendo consoles as I did third party games. So I still would have owned Nintendo consoles.



Around the Network

yes i would still be



Probably not as much even Nintendo realize from an early stage that Mario is their biggest meal ticket that is why they re-branded Doki Doki Panic for the west and turned it into Super Mario Bros. 2.



Hmmmm, let's see...

 

... Yes,. Yes I would still be a fan.

 The question is primarily directed at Nintendo fans, but it could work for other people as well (if they hate Mario lol).

Indeed, and in my case I would say maybe. When I got back into video gaming in a big way after several years of not playing at all it was opportunistic access to PS1. And I guess I PS2 was more or less an automatic choice. But way back when I was always an anti-fan of Mario.

Yes, but I would have much more terrible gaming tastes.
