Is it really milking if the games are really that good?
And the topic creator listed like 4 Mario Karts. Ok, so there have been over 10 Ultimas. And 5 Tekkens. And 4 Soul Caliburs. How many Street Fighters? Mortal Kombats? etc etc etc
Mario is Nintendo's cash cow. Its marketable. Whats the big deal?
Plain and simple...the Mario platformers are some of the best ever made, hands down.
The Mario Kart games are very fun. While they may not be the best racing games out there, they are very fun, and for their genre (cartoon racing), they are among the best.
Mario Party games are fun. Were more fun back in the day before they recycled it over and over, but noone has been able to duplicate the success of it. No one.
Mario RPG, Paper Mario, etc. - Again, among the best games of their genre.
Mario Paint - This was the bomb. Paint your own pictures. Oh, ok, I went to far, ok.
its simple...the games are among the best (minus Mario Paint of course). And who can blame them for marketing the plumber like they do?
I guess the same can be said for Ratchet and Clank? How about Halo? Or Metal Gear Solid? Are you jealous Nintendo has a mascot and your favorite system doesnt? Thing is, usually if I hear Mario in the title of a game, I know Nintendo is not going to let me down.
