OMG Nintendo is all about original and new IPs :P ( j/k )

Good sales , luckily most of them deserve the sales they get :)



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

I wonder.... if Ninjabread man features a plumber with red outfit, and calls itself Nario, will it sell better? :P

Make a shovelware game add the Mario name and you are guaranteed a million seller. Easy work for Nintendo. Why not add Mario to every second game?

Mario isn't the reason Mario games sell well, quality is.  Even the most casual gamers know Mario games are good.  

Super Mario Galaxy, for example, is definitely one of the greatest games I've ever played. 



Mario is legendary!

The only one undeseving of its sales (imo) is Mario Hoops 3 on 3. Thats game was just awful. Everything else mentioned above was fully deserving of their sales though I beleive.



Well it's a little of both. Since Nintendo has made sure that (most) games with Mario in it are quality games for their genre, now people look for it and buy Mario games knowing they'll be good.



And i own most them.Mario till the end of time... XD

I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.

NO NO, NO NO NO.
