This thread is stupid because Nintendo had this issue in the 90s, and they ended up being right.
In the 90s Mario was not "cool", the furry animal platformer mascots with attitude were cool, like Sonic and all the characters that were created because of the success of Sonic, like Bubsy, Crash, Aero the Acrobat, Gex etc etc
And those cool characters aged like shit, in the 90s it was proven that Nintendo was right by not trying to make Mario cool, because it would end up being as ridiculous as Shadow the Hedgehog.
This is Poochie from The Simpsons, from an episode which made fun of the cool mascots of the 90s that aged like shit.
