Well with two different platforms launching within a year of each other, that was bound to happen. And certainly, Mario is an example of how NOT to address a franchise. However, I enjoyed thoroughly both Galaxy titles and New Super Mario Bros Wii. Super Paper Mario was also a nice addition to the Paper Mario franchise. I think maybe the 2d and 3d could have been staggered better with a 3d Mario being selected to launch alongside the WiiU.
As far as the N64 is concerned, I worked for a video store at the time. I played all the major titles and don't think I missed anything by not actually owning the system. Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider, Oddworld and Tekken occupied the majority of my time in those days and I think they were well spent.
