Is it just me or does it seem like there is less and less Mario around. Most of their new games involving Mario that they have come out with are not very exciting and the ones that are, nobody plays. They pretty much burnt out all Mario ideas so quickly that http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d3/Symbol_mario.svg/50px-Symbol_mario.svg.pngnow the once famous video game ikon is fading... Let me know your opinions on this.

Mario is in icon running out of time, this due to less and less sales, and the overdoses of magic mushrooms.


WTF??? Less and Less sales? Nintendo is THRIVING off of Mario. If they weren't, why would they keep producing Mario games?

Nice bringing in an aritcle from two years ago, bring up proof from NOW. Mario is overdone. He WAS the best. Now his only customers are anyone he deals mushrooms to and little kids who buy his crappier and crappier games.

That is now. There will be a day very soon where Mario will be a remembered but dead legend. Any games involving him will be spin offs of the original idea for the game. Case and point: that review.

Yes, he is fading. Kids would much rather play Zombie games on the X-box and war game on the PS3. Sadly, he will fade. If Sonic faded, so will Mario.

There will be a day when Master Cheif will die.

That was an example, chill. We both of no proof of us thinking that either character will die, and neither of us have an proof that the points are false. You cannot say that, because there is no proof. What you said is like me saying(again) Halo ODST is now. But one day very soon he will die.

Most of them. I still enjoy my Mario games slightly more than Left4Dead. Then again that is only one game and it is just me.

Yeah, so what's your point?

Not necessarily very soon. Bungie is coming out with a Halo movie and another game. They may be milking the series as you say, but critics and gamers alike are finding the new sequels just as satisfying. It's not just the same game over and over again.

Tom said Mario willl die. I said Master cheif will die. The point I was making is that he had no proof.

And Valkarie, I was using that whole post as an example. You don't need to go into how Master Cheif won't die

But incase I am wrong about what you meant, Nintendo is coming out with a new Super Mario Galaxy game too. He isn't dieing...

milking the series as you say


Don't bring threads into other threads...

new sequels just as satisfying


Because it's the same. Same is good, because the first one was good.

You wish. You must be a Mario fanboy?


I consider myself more neutral... And once again, judging by the way you post on this thread, I call you a halo fanboy.

I think in 5 years, Mario will be largely forgotten.

I dont think so, with Mario Galaxy 2 coming out and the mario and sonic at the winter games soon to arrive i dont think he has faded away any.

That may be true, but it's hard for nintendo to make good mario games with wii remotes. Most of the popular mario games require a nintendo gamecube controller or something similar.
