The more I read the comments about Mario, the less I agree with them.
Nintendo made two Pikmin games for the GC, two Star Fox games, two Zelda games, etc., and only one Mario platformer (if you could even call Sunshine that).
Now there were four Mario Party games, numerous Mario sports games, etc. But Mario Golf and Tennis were really just We Love Golf and Tennis with those characters.
I will be honest, I buy almost every Mario game out there. I even have Mario the Early Years Letters and Numbers on the SNES (for my 5-year old). But for the most part, I get them because they are good games and because I know what I am getting.
Most of the franchises listed don't sell. Mario sells. Even Mario Party which peaked no later than 5 (and is on 8).
You can't argue with success.
It was a writer too hard to seem cool.

 I am Mario.I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
