Would you be a Nintendo fan if Mario had never existed?

Mario is by a country mile Nintendo's biggest character and IP (IPs? Depends on who you ask). Heck, even enemies of the Nintendo kingdom played it back in the day and liked it. We all know Nintendo release a lot of Mario games so I'm wondering if Mario is the reason you're a Nintendo fan. If Mario didn't exist, would you have become a Nintendo fan in the first place back in the day? The question is primarily directed at Nintendo fans, but it could work for other people as well (if they hate Mario lol).

On home consoles yes

 

But on handhelds, pokemon is actually their biggest ip

Mario Kart? 

I'm talking about all Mario games. Pokemon has nothin' on ol' Mario

Pretty much every mario game was bundled on ds, pokemon on the otherhand can sell without the need off bundles
