Mario is always cool. He's retro cool, he's gamer geek cool. People love him and the game in MK8. People loved his return in NSMB, and SMG was definitely cool. NSMBWii was massive. People are down on Nintendo right now because their systems aren't selling as well as last gen, but people still love Mario. They OD'd us a bit at the start of the Wii U life without giving us variety in other titles and without big innovation in NSMBU and SMB3DW. But MK8 nailed it and a new platformer adventure title could easily do that as well.
