Would Nintendo be anything if Mario never existed? Would the NES have fallen flat on its face?

My gaming career would not have started when it did but I'd still be a Nintendo fan today because of Zelda, Metroid and other franchises.

I would have played whatever my Dad bought for me. But Zelda would have kept me around. I do not like change. Sony was change. But I played it at my Sister in laws house. And watched Skinemax as well.

That's funny because from generation to generation Nintendo tends to change their consoles the most.
