If we knew how many people actually emulated a Mario game, it'd probably shock us all.

No. Also, there's a major difference between 'Super Mario Bros.' and the Mario franchise in general.

Yeah.. I can't even imagine how many people emulated a Mario game on a PC, a phone, a tablet, etc... XD

Long-term success > short-term fad


hahah this



... Yeah, no... The fact anyone in their right mind believe that is just beyond me. It doesnt even touch Mario. Also, I think this article was written a bit too late... AB hasnt been relevant in like 2 years XD all the kids are playing Minecraft, Tomodatchi Life, and Candy Crush right now :p



1.Free game vs. 60$ game

2.Short term fad that will be forgotten in 5 years vs. 25+ years of popularity

3. An icon for the industry vs. pajamas merchandise for 5 year olds

4.Dozens of games across 15 platforms vs. 1 game and a crappy overpriced DLC with tons of micro transactions



If mario games were free on the app store, people would buy billions and billions of iphones and ipads tp play mario games, and mario games would be huuuuuuge! I understand angry birds has been downloaded more than 1 billion times, but im really sure that if super mario bros 3 was released as a free download it would have a least 10 billion downloads in less than a year
