If Nintendo stopped publishing Mario spin-offs, would They lose Mario fans? This includes Mario Kart, SSB, Mario Party, and Luigi/Peach/whatever games.

I think so. Because if there were no spinoffs, there would be only two or three Mario games for each system, and plus, I know some diehard Mario spin-off fans. Like, they don't play the original games, but they're all about the spin-offs.

The spin-offs were easier then the EA games, which attracted video game beginners. They had a style and personality that many gamers loved. Besides, they were a great party games, c'mon, who never had a SSBM party? But it IS getting out of hand. What next, Mario Football?

I voted yes, but I don't think people will dislike Mario, they'll just be mad that there aren't anymore MK games coming out(personally I could stand that as long as I had MK:DD).

This is a good question. I think it all comes down to how likes what. For the people who love a good ol' platformer, then I think they would enjoy seeing the spin-off's trashed. Vice versa for the Kart and Party junkies. I would miss the spin-off's, just because some of the idea's are down right awesome.

Ever since Mario Party 7 came out I have seen so many people buying it, they obviously were not farmiliar with Mario (For what ever reason that might be.), for most of you hate the the almost quadropled seiries, or at least not like what they are doing with it, sorry, but with that expereince, I'll have to say no.

I think some might dislike it, but maybe not quit Mario games. Then again, a lot of Mario games are like this post asked. Not many originals. Where's the nostalgia?

WTD, that doesn't make any sense at all.

Hey, SPP looks awesome, dude. I am so going to buy that game. Besides, I'm pretty sure it'll be mainstream, NOT spin-off.
