| RolStoppable said: If there is one person whose feelings are hurt, it would be you, because you can't stand Mario. You would love to believe that Mario wasn't a fundamental part in shaping gaming into what it is, but the fact is that Super Mario Bros. made the NES a success at a time when console gaming wasn't believed to have a future. It's further evidenced by the countless 2D platformers that were released in the good ten years following Super Mario Bros., because everyone knew that this was THE game that drove industry growth and thus everyone wanted to have a piece of that pie. |
Haha, sure. You're the only one that seems to boil over just because not everyone is a Mario fan. It's kind of odd, to be honest. I'm hardly going to have hurt feelings over something I don't care about. =]
Regardless, I give up, you win. Perhaps I remember wrongly and everyone was like, "OMG THAT'S THE GUY IN DONKEY KONG I HAVE TO HAVE THAT." I dunno, I guess it's possible. Your memory of the NES launch might very well be better than mine.
Still, the way you discount every other game on the NES is just ... I don't know, it makes no sense to me.
