Between 1996 and 2002, we had a grand total of TWO, yes two, main Mario tiles on home consoles. Since 2007, we have had SIX games, if you include Luigi U. That's the problem. Not even Mario is impervious to overkill and it's up to Nintendo to put the brakes on and retire the little guy for awhile. |
Luigi U is DLC first of all. No one counts RDR Undead Nightmare as an entire new entry. 2nd of all the Gamecube was the lightest on Mario Content for any Nintendo console and the NES and Wii were the heaviest and which one did the best. I think the NSMB series needs to retire for a while but Mario sells the most consoles. No one even uses Mario in Super Smash Bros but they stick him on the front every time because people recognize it and that matters.

Attributing the Wii's success to Mario is a bit of a stretch. I'd say motion controls and Wii Sports had a little more to do with that system selling well than Mario. Secondly, everything can get old...every...thing. Mario is not above milking. It's something the old Nintendo boss figured out and did so well. Between 1985 and 2002 there were 6 new main console Mario games. That's 17 YEARS...and only 6 games. Since 2006, a span of just 7 years, we've had 5 EXCLUDING Luigi.
So let me repeat. 17 years, 6 games. 7 years, 5 games. Enough said. It's just too much, and they need to put him on ice before it gets worse.
