Mario Galaxy didnt have years of hype?? Try 20 years of hype. Maybe it didnt have its own soda, but it had its own everything else imaginable. The Wii isnt a Mario Box??? UHH, I could argue about that till Im blue, but just about every first party game is a Mario spin off. Halo box? uhh 3 games in 6 years. Mario is the biggest and most commercialized video game charachter ever. No hype?? Not front loaded? Its the fastest selling Wii game ever and the most front loaded Wii game ever. Mario had its own launch party! As for legs, Halo 2 is still selling very well after 3 years now. I cant believe your saying Halo was advertised for years and Mario wasnt and Halo was more commercialized. Thats the dumbest thing ever said. I think I saw some little kid with Mario sneakers, licking his mario popsicle.


No, because it was first shown on E3 2006, so it had at most 1 and a half year of hype. But Zelda took a lot of that hype because it was much closer to be released, so make it at best 1 year of SMG hype and that wasn't nowhere near the anticipation of Halo 3.

First party games for Wii, let's see:

3 Mario spinoffs: Super Paper, Party 8, Strikers Charged.

11 non-Mario games: Wii Sports, Wii Play, Zelda, Wario Ware, Big Brain Academy, Excite Truck, Fire Emblem, Batallion Wars, Endless Ocean, Metroid Prime, Galaxy.

Clearly just about every 1st party game is a Mario spinoff, because roughly 20 % are the majority of 100 %.

Thats the dumbest thing ever said. 

If you are refering to your own post, you are spot on.


So when was Halo 3 announced? Oh yeah E3 2006. Yes, this was the first time of actual confirmation. Ok, counting all the games that are not spin offs is less relevant than counting all the games that are. Im talking about all the ones that were over the past 20 years on whatever platform they were on.
