Assuming that Nintendo without Mario still had most of the non Mario related properties (I am including Donkey Kong as separate from Mario spin offs since technically he came first) then yes, I'd still be a Nintendo fan.

Although as I am sure others have mentioned, without Mario the console industry as it is probably doesn't exist in its current form. So without Mario, I'd probably be a PC gamer or more involved with some other diversion. Heck, without Mario maybe high quality non racing or simple sports genre arcades machines like the fighting games and action beat'em ups found in the 80s and 90s might still around (or at least games based on them).
