No I agree, they have flooded the market. I used to get excited when a Mario game released, now it's more of a "bleh" feeling. He needs a long break, at the very least a year, but preferably more. Think about how much Mario crap has been released recently.
SM3DL-A lame excuse for 3D Mario
NSMB2- A lame excuse for 2D Mario
Paper Mario Sticker Star- A lame excuse for a Paper Mario game
Mario Tennis- Nothing to say
Mario Party 8- Nothing to Say
Mario Kart 7- A lame excuse for Mario Kart
NSMBU- The sad thing is that this one is actually really good, I was just way sick of Mario.
