Your really missing the point benza, I'm not trying to force my cousin to play something he wont possilby enjoy. Say for example my little cousin likes cherry pie and apples. But refuses to try apple pie cause he likes cherry. Mario is the apple pie. Ridiculous example but hopefully you understand what I mean, I think he is going to miss something he'll enjoy.. Ceil, I 2 will buy anything Mario,I've rarely been disappointed. Youve been a laugh benza, keep up the rant.

No point blaming kids for not liking the same stuff we grew up liking. And it's not their fault they were born later. If they were born in the 80s they would be Nintendo/Sega/Atari/C64 fans. But they weren't, so let them be Microsoft/Sony/COD/crap music/stupid movie remake fans.

Who the fuck enjoys only one type of game?

Most 13 year old kids. Two types if you're lucky.

That's not even close. It's more like "My little brother likes cherry pies, so I think he should like steak and mushroom pies, after all they're both pies"
Mario is the steak and mushroom pie, the only similarity to the games they enjoy is that they're games nothing else.

That's not the point, one of the kids in the example enjoyed Cod, Assassins Creed, Leauge of Legends and Minecraft.
Those are 4 massivley different types of games, and none of them are even remotley like Mario.
So by that list why would you assume they would like Mario? Why not try... fuck something in any of those genres? I mean if they like minecraft they might enjoy the level editor stuff in Little Big Planet, if they like LoL then they might enjoy Warcraft 3 or something. But mario is about as similar to those games as say El Shadia: Assencion of the Metatron. Would you assume they like that simply because it's a video game?
No one would, but people don't seem to have any problem assuming that everyone likes mario and the moment someone doesn't it's deemed as some fault on their part. Like they're not mature enough to understand good games (Seriously people are saying you have to be mature to like fucking Mario now?) Or that stupid kids only like Multiplayer shooters or some other shit.
It's fucking infuriating.

But there is such a variety of decent mario games across these platforms, paper mario, mario sunshine, etc. All rather different with different gameplay styles, I can understand hating one but not liking any mario game at all?
It's weird. Not wrong or anything..do you just dislike the universe or artistic style or something? I can understand if that's the case. Seeing countless inanimate objects with smiley faces does get a little creepy the more you think about it.

Nothing grabbed me, they're not bad games, they're usually well made and thought otu etc. If I'm bored and one's sitting infront of me then I'll muck around in a bit but nothing grabs me or makes me want to keep playing them. I find it impossible to give a shit about seeing what comes next .

your point didn't make any sense.
The original statement was "my little brother and his friends like Modern Warfare, Assassins Creed, Minecraft and Leauge of Legends, why don't they like Mario?"
You reasoned this is saying the same kind of thing as "My little brother likes cherry pies and apples, why won't he like apple pie"
except that means that there is a common link between what the little brother likes, and what you're trying to get him to like. Wich there isn't.
The only thing that those games have in common with Mario is that they're games, it's insane to think that someone with that taste in games is automatically going to like a Mario game because they have nothing at all in common.

Who fucking cares if he doesn't have interest in a Mario game? New generations have different tastes, and regardless of whether or not you may think that your cousin might actually enjoy Mario, the truth is that he alone knows what he likes more than you.
I don't even know why it's a big deal that someone doesn't have interest in a Mario game. And I'm positive that if it were CoD or some other title, this argument would've never happened.

It's really not unheard of. Since I was a kid, the only vidya games my grandmother would play was Shanghai and its sequels.
Isn't it so crazy that there's a whole world of different people outside of video gamer culture?

Only Hitler would say that Shanghai isn't a real vidya game.
There, it's done, let's talk about the game again now.

Nice review Jarrod  Completely agree that every one in the series feels finished and complete with just the right amount of difference to make it stand out on its own. Hopefully this gem will land in my Christmas stocking.

With this, Ocarina and Mario Kart, I am slowly becoming interested in the console again. A few more AAA titles and I might reach for the wallet.

@Benza: I didn't mean you have to be mature to enjoy Mario games. I only meant that people tend to be less closed minded when they grow up a bit. Guess I was wrong...
I agree that you can't force someone to like anything, nor should they feel obligated. Play whatever games you want. Just don't act like a prat when someone mentions something you don't like, after all, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Seriously you called me closed minded in one paragraph cause I don't like Mario then say not to be a prat when someone likes something you don't? Why doesn't that same courtesy extend to people not liking what you do?

Well, let's try this one then:
I found New Super Mario Bros. on the DS to be a bit ordinary (I don't even recall finishing it), and New Super Mario Bros. Wii to be an utter joke. What would make me pick this one up disregarding the fact that it seems borderline impossible for any publication to give a Mario game less than 9/10, or 90%, or 4.5 stars, or equivalent?
And yeah, I know NSMBWii got 8.5 here, so just run with the question instead of picking apart the generalisation of Mario game scores.

Nobody has to like Mario. But those who don't have no soul or taste and will probably spend the afterlife sitting in lukewarm bathwater in purgatory.

Honestly, I'm pretty much in the same boat with those two titles... so far I am digging the Hell out of 3D Land, but that may well just be the nostalgia bombed Mario 64 stylings giving me a geek half-chub.
