Is Mario still the king of gaming?

Of course he will always be king. He saved the gaming industry back in the 80's from all the crap Atari and the other companies were releasing which crashed gaming.

Nope, and the fat greasy plumber never was.

"What" mario are we talking about exactly ? in terms of good mario games... the only good ones are the Console ones ( Super mario world, Mario 64, mario sunshine, and Mario Galaxy ) and just in general.. Metroid, Zelda, and Pokemon are better games IMO.

As a huge Nintendo fan, i have to say, no. His games are still remarkable and incredible, but he is not the only one with amazing games.

and here we have the insecure gamer. so what if it has a child like theme to it, it doesn't make it any less of a good game if it does, as when you get older you realise these things don't matter and no one cares what game or form of entertainment you like, be it "childish" or not. so many instead say it's not your style of game or maybe preferred genre, as dismissing something with a statment like "Its a Childish game on Childish platform" only shows how childish you are.
