Mario is the most Overrated Game franchise off all Time!

There is no denying that the first Mario games were revolutionary but as time went on, sequel after sequel, the games are just more of the same and Nintendo would slap Mario's face on another game genre

Mario Kart (Racing)
Super Smash Bro's (Fighting)
Mario Power Tennis (Sports)
etc

I don't see what is so special about these games, New Super Mario Bro's was the most repetitive platformer i have ever played, every level was nearly identical with a changed background and the levels looked like nothing, oh and i almost forgot the SAME boring story AGAIN, peach is kidnapped by bowser AGAIN and you have to go to tower after tower AGAIN to rescue her AGAIN!

I don't see why people like Mario Kart better than any other racing game, the other racing games are more i depth and detailed but:

Gran Turismo 5 (8.0)
Forza 4 (8.5)
Need for Speed Shift (7.0)
F1 2011 (8.0)
Midnight Club Los Angeles (7.5)

but

Mario Kart DS (9.2)

Mario as an overall franchise, milked? Yes. Overrated? No.

Mario platformers overrated? No.

Does your topic suck? Yes.

Fable, obviously.

And this is why that level 10 rule is awesome :) clear flamebait thread...Desmonic

Kids play Mario Kart, adults play GT and Forza. They shouldn't be compared.

Yes. I'm so mad, I'm deranged! Also, PGR>Forza :3charizard1605

Nah. But PGR is still awesome.

I like arcade racers more than sims, and PGR was more arcadey than Forza, so I automatically like it more. It made me sad when Bizarre was closed down. It killed all hopes for a PGR 5 :(charizard1605

Microshaft owns they IP, maybe they could get someone competent to do it like the gods at Turn 10.

But Bizarre did such a good job of it. If Microsoft cared so much about the IP, don't you think they would have actually contracted Bizarre to make a new one long ago now? It's been nearly six years, the IP is dead at this point.charizard1605

There were reports back in 2010 that they're looking for a dev, but nothing after that.

I personally think the core franchise is the best ever. My overrated is MGS, but it's all personal taste.

:lol: Super Smash Brothers is a Mario game?
