Mario is probably the only one that really sticks, but I think a lot of the way other publishers neglect the genre is because Mario has a stranglehold on it. Everyone knows you can't compete with Mario, so no one tries. Yet look at all of the indie-platforming games that have flooded the market in recent years, outside of that competition. For a couple of years, there might be a void, but I don't expect it would have serious long-term consequences. It's sort of like World of Warcraft. If WoW fell tomorrow, just about every company would leap at the chance to take its place.

if that's the case, you can say that for absolutely every game in existence, or hardware for that matter.

Say Sony stops making consoles and after a void, Apple, Samsung, Google or whatever comes with another console. If that's your perception of something not being important then anything is not important in life, because practically everything can be replaced.

That was more or less the point. That there isn't anything that makes Nintendo immune to that.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
