Forums - Nintendo - Why do people hate on Mario?

Don't hate on him at all... I just hate the fact that for the better part of the 90s and '00s we had to wait an average of 5 years for a proper Mario game (while getting dozens of spinoffs in the process), and now we're getting flooded with copy and paste Mario titles PLUS the neverending barrage of spinoffs.

If it's not one extreme with Nintendo, it's the other.

Would the games they release be better if Mario wasn't in them?  I say the spinoffs.

In regards to the regular Mario games, there is Mario in 2D and Mario in 3D.  Nintendo also has been releasing new consoles and people want Mario for them.  And then, you have success with some of the older franchises, like Mario RPG stuff, so those get new titles.

Because people have not noticed that there are Mario RPG's which deals with the story of the franchise. The haters have to try some of these games, for example the Mario and Luigi Series. Too many people complaining about the story of Mario games, so Nintendo give us them and then what? No one cares a shit about those games.

There are so many different Mario games because Nintendo wants us to enjoy the Mario universe and for that it expands to different genres. If you enjoy one of the genres then another genre of the same universe might have picked your interest.

Because there isn't a good reason to let him do all those sports games except for making sure that some obvious flaws are covered by using the number one Nintendo mascot.

Everything else is fine.

On the whole, Mario Sports games have been of high quality. I would say the exceptions are the two baseball games (by BanDai) and the 2011 Sports Mix game (by Square Enix). The stuff by Camelot (Golf and Tennis, all iterations), by Next Level Games (Strikers/Football), and Hoops 3 on 3 by Square Enix were supposed to be rather high quality. Similar to the fact that Mario Kart would be just as good a game if they made it into its own brand, in all likelihood.

OT: Personally, I just find Mario completely uninteresting, and I can't see why anyone over the age of 12 doesn't feel the same 

You can't say that and then have a pic of Little Big Planet in your sig or Domo in your avatar, it's completely contradictory.

Why? LBP appeals to mature gamers as much as children IMO, everyone is creative. And I don't find the sackboy character interesting, it's the game that I think is awesome. As for Domo... it's just something I liked when I was little, and someone got me the poster so... yeah, not much more explanation needed.

Why would you ever play PS3 and crap Vita when you have a PC?

why? because that what should games should do! evolve! look at gta 1 and 3! we wouldnt have had the awesomeness of the open world gta games if gta 3 didnt evolve. there are so many examples of that! its just ludacris to think games shouldnt evolve!! 

Mario, in general, has evolved.

just in gameplay and level design.

Thanks for supporting my point.

If irregardless is not a word, then why does Mirriam-Webster have an entry for it?

Whether or not Mario is in the spinoffs isn't the point.  The point is between 1991-2006 (that's 15 years) we got a whopping 4 legit Mario games (not counting any of the handheld ones).  SMW, Yoshi's Island, Mario 64, and Sunshine.  Then started the Mario renaissance with NSMB and Galaxy a year apart, OK great, we're getting new 2D and 3D Mario games simultaneously, nice!

But then... we get NSMB Wii, Galaxy 2, Super Mario Land 3D, NSMB2 (?) and NSMBU all within a span of 3 years.  We've got more Mario games in 3 years than we did from the entire SNES-GameCube era, and all of them borrow and recycle from previous games instead of innovating and bringing new stuff to the table, especially the NSMB series... it's like the direct-to-video Disney flicks that just rehash the old classics with nothing new or original.

technically that definition is saying it's a colloquial kind of word.



The prefix ir- (i-r) is a negative prefix, so if you add the prefix ir to a word that's already negative like regardless, you're making a double-negative word that literally means “without without regard.”


And that is why the hardcore hate mario.
