Demotruk said: Mario is extremely "pick up and play". It's also the original game that turned non-gamers into gamers, hence SMB sold 40 million on the NES! |
That was the nes days. If you wanted to play games at all, you played mario. I played mario on nes and snes as well but I dont play it anymore simply because I prefer other game types now. There are lots of options now and a big portion of mario sales is still nostalgia. newcomers would have a lot more choices this time around and I just dont see mario 5 being the "first choice" like it was before...not even on wii itself.
