Could Wii's success bring more than one Mario platformer like the NES?

[a.l.e.x59]

Actually, the Nintendo had three real Super Mario Bros. games. Actually, the Japanese game rip off still kind of counts as a real Mario game, since both games were made by Miyamoto. Does Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels not count, if Super Mario Bros. 2 doesn't? Technically, all four are real, but if you don't count Super Mario Bros. 2: U.S.A., than Super Mario Bros. 2: Japan will back it up as a real Super Mario Bros. game. As it stands, there are four Mario platformers. Anyways, Super Mario World 2 is not a Mario platformer because you control Yoshi, not Mario. In fact, only baby Mario is in the game. It's more of a Yoshi Story prequel. So the Super Nintendo really only has Super Mario World. As long as you control Mario in a platformer, you are playing a Mario platformer. If Wii defeats the Playstation 2, we might get 3 Mario platformers. I mean, it has only been more than half a year since the Wii has been out, and Super Mario Galaxy is coming soon. Do you really think that if the Wii lasts for 8 years, that no new Mario game will come out after Super Mario Galaxy? Will we have a blank period of 7 years, or more, before a new Mario game comes out? After Brawl, Kart, and Galaxy come out, the Wii will live on for many years to come. Soon, Brawl, Kart, and Galaxy will get old, like Sunshine, Dash, and Melee. Now, if they get old before the Wii dies out, they will need to get replaced. If Nintendo stops making other games that no one wants to play, they will have more time to make more games that we want to play, like more Mario games. I don't think we can ever have too much Mario (not including Mario Party. Damn it, stop it already!). I'm sure the Wii will last long enough for more Mario games to come out. But something tells me that there will only be one of each Mario franchise (excluding Mario Party) because that's just the way Nintendo does it. It's almost like a law. One Mario game per console, just like they have to make a crappy movie game for every animated movie that comes out, and new sports games, of the same sports, every year. Only time will tell.
