Comments · 175 Views

The gaming press began to gripe about Nintendo publishing too many Mario games after New Super Mario Bros. 2, but now that the series has become an annual franchise with little to no variation, it's clear that the criticisms were well-founded.

Not including spinoffs like role-playing games and (original) sports games, the following have been the primary mario games for handheld and console since 2006:

The 2006 Nintendo GameCube entry New Super Mario Bros.
Nintendo Wii's 2007 Super Mario Galaxy
Nintendo Wii's New Super Mario Bros. (2009, Wii)
The Super Mario Galaxy 2 Wii game from 2010
Nintendo 3DS's 2011 Super Mario 3D Land
Playing New Super Mario Bros. 2 on 3DS in 2012
The Wii U version of New Super Mario Bros.
