| DanneSandin said: it's interesting to note that Mario is still more popular now with low selling 3DS and Wii U than it was in the 90's when Nintendo sold more HW. I'm guessing this is a result of a diversification of Mario with all them spinn off games and such. |
More spinoffs is part of it but the mid-late 90s didnt have a whole lot of major Mario releases (mainline platformers/Mario Kart).
N64/GBC had Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64 & Super Mario Deluxe while 3DS/Wii U has NSMB2, NSMBU, 3D Land, 3D World, MK7, MK8.
If Gameboy Color had a Mario Kart, an original 2D Mario & N64 had a Mario 64 sequel than it would probably be alot more even.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
