Mario Strikers. That is all.

So Mario Party, Mario Tennis, Mario Golf, Mario RPGs, Mario vs DK should all just die?



 

I don't think the world would miss any of those titles in any significant way, no. The NES and SNES are their greatest consoles and back then, they trimmed the fat alot better and I think it was the right thing to do. 

Did they really trim the fat better then?

1988-Super Mario Bros 2

1989-Super Mario Land

1990-Super Mario Bros 3, Dr. Mario

1991-Super Mario World

1992-Super Mario Land 2, Mario Paint, Super Mario Kart, Mario is Missing

1993-Super Mario All-Stars, Mario & Wario, Mario's Time Machine, Yoshi's Safari

1994-Super Mario Land 3, Mario's Early Years! Fun With Letters, Fun with Numbers, Preschool Fun

1995-Super Mario World 2, Mario's Picross

Plus his likeness was used in their various sports games like Punch-Out, Golf, Tennis, etc.

Alright edited without Gameboy games, still 15 games from 1990-1995, they trimmed the fat oh so well back then.

Not sure what to pick... NES... SNES... N64... Those are the best. But to pick just one? Madness.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

[New] Super Mario World
[New] Mario Party
[New] Paper Mario/Mario RPG
[New] Mario Kart

Mario Sports: A new series that would include all of the previous Mario sports titles in it, using the same roster across the board. It would include:

 

  • Football/Soccer (alá Mario Strikers)
  • Baseball (alá Mario Superstar Baseball)
  • Basketball (alá Mario Hoops 3x3)
  • Tennis (alá Mario Tennis)
  • American Football/Rugby (New)

 

I really like the idea of a comprehensive Mario Sports title that worked like Wii Sports Club in that you could just purchase individual sports games or buy the complete package for the usual 60 bucks.  It would be a good deal and it would lower the amount of Mario spin-offs that saturate Nintendo platforms.

Sure, if you want to count pre-school, educational bullshit that no one cared or even knew about. I was talking about main games. You know, that people actually paid attention to? That wasn't niche and buried on arrival? So, allow ME to trim your little list down.

1985 - SMB

1988 - SMB2

1990 - SMB3

1991- SMW

1992 - MK

1995 - SMW2

 

That's six titles in 10 years. Mario All Stars is bullshit because it was a port. Since the Wii launched 9 years ago, I can think of 8 major Mario releases NOT including Mario Party, Tennis, Golf or whatever else they have released. If you add those in, holy shit...

Why does a game like Mario Maker count but Mario Paint doesn't? It's basically a spiritual successor to MP. Also Mario All-stars weren't ports, they were remakes.

No more Mario Party or Mario Sports.

I agree. Another enhanced Mario Maker someday too with a brand new engine maybe?
