| oniyide said: I LOLed at so many points in this thread. I hope Pyro never stops cause i wanna keep on laughing. But how are the handhelds not considered real Mario games. There 2d, you play as Mario. Sounds like a "Real" Mario game to me, not there fault they are on limited hardware |
Mobile Mario works just fine when Nintendo are porting/updating a last gen real Mario. The rest are are poor imitations of their home console counterpart.
SMB on the GBA? Fine. Green and dark green Mario Land at the same time as SMB3? Should have used a new IP.
@Joel "the hardware didn't have the numbers to support higher software sales!"
That's not how it works.
Software sells hardware, not the other way round. DVDs sell DVD players. Office software, the Internet and Facebook sell PCs.
The hardware couldn't sell any more because it didn't have enough system selling games. 3D Mario sells systems but real Mario games sell more. Real Mario is more than a 'system seller', it's a 'generation winner'.
Imagine if Sony dropped Gran Torino and told everyone that Wipeismo is the natural progression, nay the evolution, of GT. Imagine if MS dropped Halo and told everyone Halo Wars is the evolution of Halo. Would it be suprising if those consoles didn't sell as many as their predecessors?
