Multiple games and multiple mash-ups

Mario has become a worldwide icon for the likes of Mickey Mouse. However, this is not a fluke because, to this day, Mario is always one of the top contenders for the game of the year award on any website dedicated to video games. Over the years, unlike his competitors (Sonic, Toe Jam & Earl, and Boogerman), he was able to evolve over the years. In many ways, Mario is Nintendo spanning hundreds of games, dozens of genres, and selling over a billion copies worldwide. Interestingly, the top ten rated video games feature Mario three times, not including the originals when they were released.

That’s not Nintendo’s only celebration mascot, much like Disney, Nintendo thrives on its variety of characters. They have Link, a sword-wielding hero from “The Legend of Zelda” series, Star Fox, a brave space pilot from “Star Fox” series, Samus, an alien fighter from the Metroid Prime series, Donkey Kong, a giant ape from the Donkey Kong series. , and many more. It’s insane how many characters Nintendo owns and to this day they are still creating more. All of these characters have been in multiple games and multiple combinations that show them competing against each other. This combination happened years before the Avengers hit theaters, proving that Nintendo is ahead of the curve in more ways than one. They have been releasing new consoles over a span of around 5 years, from the Nintendo Entertainment System, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Wii, and now finally Wii U. Each experience has been different and fresh, letting the players play the games in a whole new way.

The games were fantastic and the consoles were improvements on each other. It’s fun to describe consoles and talk about games, but the only way to really understand all of this is to play a Nintendo console. Years after the release of the first Nintendo Entertainment System, Nintendo is still hitting home runs to this day. They are fun to play with, families will gather around a TV just to play with some of their favorite pets. This is something that cannot be said for competitors. If Nintendo continues with these innovations, it will create games for the next century and beyond, when fully interactive 3D worlds are finally presented to us. Don’t be surprised if Nintendo is behind this innovative technology.
