"I wouldn't even play a sports game unless it had Mario or some similar character in it. Mario is the best!"

Yeah, they always put twists of some sort in those kinda games that makes it colorful and n33t. It's the only reason I'm first concerned about a soccer game. XD

My life would be pretty dull without him.

All life would be dull without him...

I may actually buy Mario Baseball eventually.

Ever notice how the name "Playstation" sounds more kiddy than "Gamecube" or "Nintendo 64"?

I don't think people hate Mario, I just think they're tired of waiting for a new adventure starring Mario. Good thing NEW Super Mario Bros. and Mario and Luigi 2 is coming soon, with a possible Mario Revolution game.

I heard a rumor that SM 128 may not come out until the system after the Revolution. Something about "wanting this game to be so insanely good that the Sunshine will look like a joke." Of course I can't tell you where I heard this because... I just can't.

I bet that Mario Mix might turn things around for non-Mario fans who have a GameCube. It looks like a sure hit. But why can't they have Yoshi and Peach?! (sorry, I'm obsessed now)

I'm sad to say that almost everyone at my school, my old soccer team, all hate mario... I hate the cruelty of others.

I''m back!

As I've said before, I think NEW Super Mario Bros. was the best game at E3. I think people may love Mario again if they play a game based on his SMB roots.

Super Mario Bros. wasn't kiddie when it came out and it's really not kiddie today. Nintendo and Mario are considered to be kiddie today because of Sony and Microsoft are pigeon holing Nintendo as a kiddie company as part of a strategy to boost Xbox/PS2 sales. They are picking on what they consider the weaker of the big three.

The word "but" was not used in this post.

The only game I see non-mario fan would get exited about is the new Mario game for ds, Mario 128 and the next SSB.

Is anyone here has a friend who is a Sony fan and understand them? I doesn't look like it. Looks like ya'll simply get exited of a game just because Mario is in it. It's ok to be a fan, but just because you like a Mario game, that doesn't mean everybody will get exited.

My youngest brother bought his own PS2 and Xbox, but did not have a Nintendo console or handheld until I bought them for him. Even so, he has always said that Mario games are his favorite. It's hard for me to interstand this, but apparently it's very common.

It is very common because I was interested in Mario when I was like 2 years old.

"The power of peer pressure is that it works on our psychology, not our intellect. As social animals we are heavily influenced by how the people around us behave, and the quality of our own internal decision making varies widely depending on the environment we currently are in." - Scott Berkun

Maybe the PS2 and Xbox crowd that pigeonholes Nintendo are feeding off one another. Then again, maybe Nintendo fan boys are.

"That said, the more homogeneous a group of people are in their thinking, the narrower the range of ideas that the group will openly consider. The more open minded, creative, and courageous, a group is, the wider the pool of ideas theyâ€™ll be capable of exploring." - Scott Berkun

Maybe they/we are too narrow-minded. I consider myself to be open minded, but have said that I would not play and Xbox. Is that a disconnect? On the other hand, I try most of Nintendo games. I even own one Pokemon game, but never collected them all. I think we have a fairly diverse group here. Different religions and the lack there of. A fairly broad age range. Two girls. Apple and PC people. Programmers, artists, etc. Yet, no one, to my knowledge, from TMK/FF visited the Sony booth, and a few of us only walked over the Xbox booth.

MegaByte's friend said he would buy a GameCube for Mario Strikers.

I don't think you should try to not play a certain game or console, you should try them all, you never know if there is some game nobody heard about that you'll like. Like me, I never thought I'd like GTA or Enter the Matrix.

Latias Dita · « **Reply #43 on:** May 30, 2005, 12:16:36 PM »

That's true. But if you tried other games and really don't like them all that much, I think it's okay,too. People are allowd to like and dislike what they want. However they should try it first before you make up your mind about something.
Still, I never really liked anything not on a Nintendo system, not even RPGs.
