Mario Kart N64, Super Mario N64 and Goldeneye N64?

The only way of knowing may be to try it yourself, just after Mario Kart on Wii.

And it was all over the place how Mario 64 gameplay was tailored, camera viewpoint and everything.

Is, say, Call of Duty any more real than Minecraft or Super Mario simply because it imitates physical reality better?

The poster boy in this thread, any mario game, is maybe 2 months, 3 in spurts.

I spent the last few nights with my 14 and 16 year old kids, playing Mario Cart, Mario Party, and Mario Bros, and loved every second.

On the other hand, 3d games that don't try to go for the realistic visuals like Okami or Mario 64 itself look gorgeous.

This guy writes freakin fiction based on Zelda (and Mario and Metroid!).

The idea that you could play Mario 100 times and then one day find a hidden block that you've passed by every time was exciting.

I thought for a long time that Mario was some sort of Alex Kidd rip-off.

I am sure that if you gave Super Mario Bros to an 8 year old now, they would still enjoy it.

I would pay up to £30 for a Zelda or Mario on my phone.

They really enjoyed "Tux" the built in Mario like game featuring the Linux penguin and it helped them connect with the 'Linux brand'.

It would be interesting to see if, like Mario did with the Lost Levels, an offshoot or side-project of the series could try and revive those early mechanisms and "save the series."

So many people have tried that I feel compelled to say, "prove it." SMB1, SMB3, SMW, and even Mario 64 all require remarkably precise controls for movement--and I tend to think that moving away from that sort of precision of play moves away from something intrinsic to Super Mario games.

Besides that, they have extremely valuable IP they can cash on (Mario, Pokémon, etc).

Mario Kart 8 is absolutely, hands-down one of the best games ever made.

I don't believe the profit margins are high enough on mobile games to be interesting for productions like Pokémon or Mario.
