no. the problem isn't mario games. its that there is never a break. The wii and game cube lacked serious 3rd party support so every other game is nintendo 1st party, and that almost always means mario something. if you take the line up of say, the xbox 360s multiplatforms then throw in mario games. its not so bad. but since the wii has no 3rd party support it seems every other game is mario this or mario that. or this game but it has mario in it.

funny you should mention that. I kind of agree about the mario feel to the console. For me 360 feels like a lot of FPS (which I do not mind as I like FPS) are out there and it takes little more effort to find other genres.

 

just out of curiousity what are some of these genres that are harder to find. I think of all the home consoles this gen. 360 has the most variety of genres, with the only thing missing is those dance, exercise etc.
