I don't get Mario fandom

I remember when nintendo came out. I remember the Super Mario Brothers show. I saw the 93 movie in theaters. I played all the games up till N64.

But it never really got into Mario Brothers as a fan. They were just kind of ...there.

Are there big fans because of the new systems that came out after N64?

I'm glad people are into it. I'm just a little astonished. Games were originally a pastime. Now it seems like every game is a workweek of content.

Beats me, I gave up at Mario 64. Completing everything didn't matter anymore. I have a switch with Odyssey and Wii.U, but I cant get into them. I'm no longer 9.

It's pretty interesting. I see people my age (41) who are treating this property like it was a big deal when we were kids, but I don't remember it being a big deal. Yeah, there was Nintendo Power and rentals at the video store, but we were drawing X-Men, and usually got kicked out of the house if our parents saw us on the Nintendo for more than an hour.

I didn't get into it because they were on NINTENDO systems and it catered to mostly kids sadly. I usually had PS or Xbox and it never ported over so I stopped at Gamecube Luigi's Mansion.

What 'fandom' exactly are you referring to here?

Or are you annoyed that people are seeing this movie?

[–] [deleted] 2 years ago

No. It's actually a better movie for Mario. The live action version is so bad its entertaining,but animated definitely suits Msrio. I was just surprised people were so excited.

Mario is globally famous and kids still love it. Most people I know who've seen it have done so because of their kids.

That makes sense. It's definitely a kids movie. My surprise came from single adults who were really into it. Either way, it's apparently great.

I'm not a gamer, but I get it, because MarioKart is one of the FEW games I can actually stand playing, and genuinely enjoy, when my brother or nephew wants me to play a videogame with them.
