I will tell you why. Because there are a lot of people out there who played Mario games as a kid who are still avid video gamers now. And these people feel as though Nintendo has either forgotten or abandoned them by continuing to release Mario games almost 30 years later. They feel that anything that doesn't feature heads and limbs being blown off, the ability to have sex with a prostitute, shoot a cop in the face at point-blank range, or run-over dozens of pedestrians at a time is kiddie-crap that doesn't cater to the "hardcore" crowd. The reality of the matter, is that Nintendo hasn't forgotten anybody. Nintendo is still providing the entertainment that they provided to the 80's generation, now to the 2000's generation. Today's "hardcore" gamers for some unknown reason don't believe that kids today should have an option to play and enjoy the video games that the 80's generation of kids grew up playing. I don't have kids at the moment, but if I did, I would much prefer to see them play Mario Galaxy or New Super Mario Bros then Grand Theft Auto, Saints Row, Fallout, etc. Honestly, I love playing the "hardcore" games I just mentioned. But, that doesn't mean that there shouldn't be Zelda or Mario games out on the market. I'm glad that Nintendo has provided a consistent outlet of games for people of ALL ages. That's my take on it anyway.
