What Video Game Character is the face of Gaming?

So what you're saying is that Mario isn't milked dry where SF2 is?rpg9000owner

How many times was SF2 released in the 90s? By the time they released Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo, I got exhausted...

At least Nintendo has not released 10 versions of the same game within a 5 year span...

What if the first 3D game stunk, do we call it a revolution because it's the first game in 3D?

No, we were talking 3-D :) which is graphics. Mario did alot for 3D in terms of platform games and left the blueprint for all other platformers to come but it didn't revolutionise 3D alltogether, it takes more than one game to revolutionise a dimension.rpg9000owner

3D gaming normally refers to gameplay taking place in a 3D realm. The fact is that 3D gaming hit a wall before Mario 64 since most developers couldn't get it right. Games were stuck in a "2.5D" mindset where players are still stuck on a 2D plane in a 3D environment. Mario 64 was the first game that got full blown 3D right since most "3D" games in that era was fixed. You brag about Quake in relation to 3D advancements but lets face it: The game was set up to force you to look a certain way. Mario gave you an infinitely better sense of freedom, which is the purpose of 3D gaming.

PS: That last statement you made is just plain ignorant. If console gaming died, Arcades still would've exist. That is where Street Fighter 2 flourish.
