I've argued this before. I mean, I don't like sports games at all but I know a good one when I see one. I'm not the biggest FPS fan but I can appreciate what goes into one (and I actually do enjoy Call of Duty and Halo quite a bit). I don't like sim racers at all but I can see why people like Forza and Gran Turismo.
And then, there's the guys that, when asked the question "What's the worst game of all time", instantly reply:
Halo
Gears of War
Uncharted
Mario
What. The. Fuck.
Just because it doesn't appeal to you doesn't mean it sucks! There's a lot of movies that can't hold my interest but I can acknowledge that they're good for their respective audience, right? Same goes for games! If the game isn't broken, the gameplay is solid, the graphics are great, the story is good, why hate? Blows my mind every single time. |
Some people just see that a game has mario in the title and guess it is going to be yet another game in the exact same series with the exact same gameplay. Doesn't matter to this type of gamer if it's Mario Tennis, Mario Golf or Mario Kart it's just another Mario game. Nintendo addressed this in the last Nintendo Direct even, they said they had some great ideas for new games but they were worried about if they should create new characters for them or just use the known and loved Nintendo characters, they said in the end they said that adding different faces wouldn't change the final game and would just make it easier for their fans to associate with the game if it featured them.
Again some people just look at the new games which feature that lovely italian mustache and just think.... Rehash, sad times.

This has been an issue for them since the days of the NES. For example, how many people would have overlooked Dr. Mario if Mario wasn't even associated with it?
It's difficult for some to comprehend that a game with Mario in it doesn't necessarily mean it contains the same gameplay elements. i consider a Mario game to be more like a "quality" branding than a game that actually stars Mario...
