As it turns 15, Mike Diver takes a fresh look at the GameCube platformer.
Cultured Vultures: Put on your freshest dungarees and chow down on the ripest mushroom as we reel off the best Mario games ever made to celebrate Mar10 Day.
My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
The Nintendo Switch has been an undeniable success for Nintendo, but which games make the best selling chart for the console?
Agreed. I think a lot of the AC: H sales have to do with early lockdown players!
I mean, I would've played it anyway. But I guess there's a lot of people who got into it because of the hype and their new found free time!
Nintendo made out like bandits with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's the same game that was on the WiiU except they added 2 item boxes like in double dash.
It's the Capcom method:
1. Add a new word to the end of the title and features that should've been expected first time around.
2. Charge full price for it.
3. Profit.
this is why i always say that Nintendo will always be fine. look at those numbers lol
and those are all first party games.

"Mario's sole GameCube outing is, as much it pains me to say it, a very bad game."

This article is the definition of changing the narrative to support your opinion. When your main defense is "this game doesn't play as well as it's sequel made FIFTEEN YEARS later", you know you're speaking out of you rear end.
Had and have no problems with it.
I remember that Christmas 2002, getting Sunshine along with Rogue Squadron 2 & Spiderman. Great games!
As it so happens, I've been playing through it in Dolphin. (I own the GC game disc.) It's still features terrific gameplay. The frustrations of certain sections are dispelled by save states, but frankly, even that isn't necessary for enjoyment. The game is still a lot of fun today, and even looks good. I can't understand what this writer is on about. SMS still stands as one of my favorite games in the genre, let alone Mario games.
