Mario 64: not a pack in game.
Mario Sunshine: not a pack in game.
Mario Galaxy: not a pack in game.
Mario Galaxy 2: not a pack in game.
Mario Odyssey: not a pack in game.

The only Mario pack in games since the SNES years have been either NSMB or Mario Kart games, which both reflect that by having far higher sales numbers than the 3D Mario games. Mario Kart Wii sold 37 million copies and MK8 has sold 62 million. New Super Mario Bros. Wii has sold 30 million. I might add, Sonic being multi-platform should be an advantage, which it just isn't.

Also, we're not talking in terms of money. We're talking about units sold.

@Samalik WTF is Made in Abyss? I've never even heard of it. And something tells me from how unstable you sound, I don't want to know.

Also, VGChartz says Sonic Frontiers only sold 3.5 million copies. Sonic 2 way back in 1992 sold 6 million.

Edit- Check your facts, dude. Sonic Frontiers is the best-selling 3D Sonic game: https://gamerant.com/sonic-frontiers-best-seller-3d-games-record-milestone/

Also, compare that to ANY 3D Mario game. Odyssey sold 27 million units. 64 and Galaxy sold 12 million units each. Galaxy 2 sold 7 million units. Hell, Sunshine, yes, SUNSHINE sold over 5 million units.

@Samalik Sonic is a successful Poochie. A game that features anthropomorphic animals as the star shouldn't be riddled with cheap melodrama. Every time they try to inject more 'edge' into Sonic, it makes the property actively worse and less popular.

Shadow is so cringey.

EGM was better. GI always felt more 'shilly' to me. Still, the end of an era.

Not for more than $30.

@heisnbrg Suggesting the dating sim aspect isn't a form of gameplay is insulting. If you don't like it, okay, but that doesn't make it not gameplay. Fire Emblem is fundamentally a combination of Tactical RPG and Dating Sim. If you take either away, it ceases to be Fire Emblem in all but name. You can get plenty of Tactical RPG's without the dating sim aspect. Those are not Fire Emblem.

The Gamecube controller is the most overrated controller ever made. The face button layout is absurd, the Z button is garbage, the C stick is a sorry excuse for a second stick, and the d-pad is way too small.

A few nostalgic fools act like it's god's gift to gaming, when it was a porting nightmare for any 3rd party software, meanwhile, they praise it for Smash Bros. while Smash Bros. plays absolutely dandy with a standard controller.

I played the first one about 20 years ago for a few hours. Put it down, never picked it back up. Not a decision I regret.

@stav1710 It was broken. Said so in the article.

@DripDropCop146 Wow, you are wasting so much time and energy on something you don't give a ***** about. Go away. Let people have fun.

Don't like fighters or beat 'em ups. Couldn't have cared less.

Sonic is a successful Poochie.

Unpopular opinion: Akira Toriyama was not a good artist.

Friends don't let friends play f2p games.

@Not_Soos Picross is easily one of the most chill puzzle games out there. No frantic block placing, just relaxing logic puzzles.

@GrailUK Expecting Sega not to screw something up is like asking for it not to rain during the monsoon season.

@Serpenterror Uhh, GotG was good.

@Jemil1992 Twitter has been hemorrhaging users since Musk took over. He's turned it into a trainwreck.

Can I just say it's nice that the director is a fan of the series? Anyone remember when David O. Russell was going to direct the Uncharted movie and was planning to completely ignore the games' story?

The problem is corporations aren't content with making some money, it's either make all the money, or it's considered a failure.

@SalvorHardin That's a pretty accurate description of Ganon in every Zelda game he's in post-OoT.

Again, Episode I: The Battle for Naboo is CRIMINALLY underrated. The best Episode I tie-in game, period. Yes, better than Racer.

@rjejr Quantity ≠ quality. That's just a bunch of dreck.

You should add Donut County to the list.

I think it's funny people think the $70 price point is new. I remember when N64 games were over $70 in the late 90's. Moreover, Virtua Racing was famously $100 on Genesis.

And that's not even bringing up Neo Geo.

Yeah, not happening, bro.

@RetroGames Mario wasn't snubbed at the Oscars. Illumination isn't a high art studio.

Oh, look. Soapbox scraping the bottom of the barrel. Again!

Games like this can be a form of stress relief.

You need to add an option to your poll. I couldn't get one at launch, but I had it before Christmas of 2017. Someone had returned a Switch at Fred Meyers in Western Washington in June of 2017. I grabbed it as quick as I could.

Hilarious that the guys behind Sonic Mania can make a better 3d platformer than Yuji Naka.

Gimme Fallout, and not that crappy Shelter game.

Still overpriced. I won't buy until it hits $40.

@AndreyBoarao That was Namco, in 1995. Patents expire after 20 years, so anyone has been allowed to put games in loading screens since 2015.

@Banks You questioned my 'no' response, then claimed we said the same thing when we did not.

No one NEEDS to play it just because they're a Nintendo fan. That was the question in the title, you're trying to twist the question into desire. Now, I'm not going to reply again, because I was never interested in discussing the merits of the Virtual Boy. I was just answering a question.

@Yoshif3 Prime is billed as a remaster in it's own title.

@Banks As a fan of Nintendo: no, I don't. You took issue with my answer, not I with yours. So clearly, no, your point wasn't the same as mine.

@Banks The question wasn't "Is it worth playing?", it was, "as a Nintendo fan, do you need to play it?". The answer to the first is, it depends. The answer to the second is unequivocally no. You do not NEED to play it, even as a Nintendo fan.

Short answer: No. Long answer: Hell no.

@Yoshif3 Mother creator Shigesato Itoi considers Mother a finished series. Can't really say it's neglected when the creator is finished with it.

Fallout 3. I spent so much time in the Capital Wasteland.

The new Switch will be announced this year. It might not be out, but we will hear about it. I am one of the only people who has never predicted this in previous years.

@somnambulance Or a lot of people like bara daddy Ganondorf. Don't just assume. TotK Ganondorf has a lot of character.

I deleted this 10 minutes after I downloaded it. Endless runners just aren't much fun.

I wonder how many TotK haters will tank it's score purely out of spite.

@Devann But made by Epic, not Nintendo.

@Devann The difference being that FE and TotK are both Nintendo series/games so articles about them make sense on a website called Nintendo Life, unlike Fortnite.
