It's the former Raiders coach. I mean, his game is continually at the top of the charts, year, after year, after year.

pacman and sonic? no.. mario is actually still loved, and actually still put out a steady scream of successful games compared to the other 2. i would have to say mario. the many years mario been out he has been in many successful games surpassing many other characters. mario has been the face of video games since. if you google anything super mario related you'll understand why. hell mario ring tone is like the most successful ring tone out there. i mean i can go on and on as to why mario is the face of video games, but you get the point.

[QUOTE="l_The_DetoX_l"]

Mario is the most recognized but doesn't mean Mario is the face of gaming

That statement right there is an oxymoron.

kcpp2b

Mario is no longer a huge seller like he was before. He still sells really well but the GTAA franchise IMO is more of something that stands for gaming today more then Mario.

For something to be the face of gaming it has to speak for it on a whole IMO. Mario was the face of gaming but gaming has grown heavily.

What games industry have yuo been looking at? Mario's selling power is probably better then ever.

[QUOTE="shungokustasu"]Easy...Ryu (Street Fighter). Mario is not the face of gaming.Blackbond

Ryu is the face of video game martial arts and fighters. Not a bad title at all

 

That is pretty rediculous. A character from Street Fighter? Weak. Mario baby. He's an O.G. in this game.

If I said name a special move on a video game. 95% will say SHORYUKEN or HADOKEN. Everyone knows Ryu. He was even feature in real life movies (Boyz-n-the-hood). Mario is only know because he was the first video game character with a story. Ryu took that title in 1991.

Are you out of your head? Mario is several times more recognizable than Ryu. If you said name a special move from a video game, everybody BORN IN THE 90s would say hadoken. Ryu's series is unfortunately over, and Mario has been exposed to generation after generation.

Hell no. Ryu is Waaay past his prime, hell, even capcom gave up on him. :| On the other hand, the last mario game sold 9 million +, that's more than any SF game.

What did he do? QC + P? Please. Mario revolutionized 2D and 3D gaming. Plus , his fighting game is by far the most original. :)

Meh, There were fighting games before It. And even if it somehow was original, Capcom milked it dry. The SSB games, however, were a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale genre. Also 4p > 2 p. fact.

If it wasn't for Mario there might not be any games around. Mario is the best well known face around worldwide.

Im sorry thats just absurd, we all know he didn't revolutionise 2-D and Starfox and Quake were the games that revolutionized 3-D Mario 64 was late on the bandwagon.

Mario took 2D sidescrollers to a whole new level. and How TF did Quake and Starfox revolutionize 3D gaming? Startfox was just an on-rail shooter and Quake? WTF did Quake do? O-o

It revolutionised platformes yes, but it wasn't even close to revolutionising 2D, no where near. Quake was the FIRST fully 3D game, starfox was the first game to have 3D i think and introduced the concept. Mario 64 did do something but you can't give the plumber credit for making 2-D and 3-D, thats an insane remark to make.

 

EDIT: Quakes engine also revolusionised lighting and online deathmatch. Quake was the game to put mods on the map too.

Nah not really, Since there are less Mario Platformer games than SF II's.
