Mario or Link

[ljkkjlcm9]

Which character/games do you think sells more nintendo systems?

Mario or Link/Zelda

(this is an argument between my roomate and I, I think Link)

Mario! The COOLEST PLUMBER IN THE WORLD!

[~SapphireStar~]

Thats an evil poll :( I love them both ... but I have more Mario games then Link, so Mario, although Luigi is cooler :D

[ljkkjlcm9]

hmm, maybe people don't understand my question, people that don't have the system, are they more likely to go out and buy it for the new Zelda game, or the new Mario game, obviously you have more Mario games, cause he has 100s more games then Zelda

THE JACKEL

[Lost Number]

I still say Mario.

[~SapphireStar~]

Same here. Mario has all the cool party games which are excellent for a Friday night in with mates.

obviously you have more Mario games, cause he has 100s more games then Zelda
No actually, its because I was brought up on Mario games, not Zelda. Thats the reason why I have more Mario games then Zelda ones, not because Mario has more, but because I love Mario more.

[Lost Number]

If you have mates. What about S S Bros? Mario AND Link.

[~SapphireStar~]

I dont play that as much as my fella does. He loves it. Me, I prefer the old Mario games. N64 Mario rocks.

[Lost Number]

I play it on the a N64 emu. I play against a friend, and am now a master of mario.

[DK]

I like some of the Mario games, but dislike all of the Zeldas. I'd say Mario probably sells more, being the mascot and stuff. Besides, Mario Kart > *

[Coop]

i think link is way better

[Necron]

I love Mario games (although it isn't what made me buy my gamecube - Resident Evil made me buy my gamecube)
I also like Zelda games, but not quite as good as Mario games, so I vote Mario :)

[~SapphireStar~]

I love Mario games (although it isn't what made me buy my gamecube - Resident Evil made me buy my gamecube)
lol, same here. Resident Evil 0, then Mario :D

[ljkkjlcm9]

hmm interesting, just from my own experience, I know a number of people who bought an N64 for Zelda, and people who bought a Gamecube for the upcoming Zelda. Personally I was raised on them all, so I get it for Metroid, Zelda, Mario.... etc.

[Rengori]

Link!

[Levian]

I bought an N64 for Ocarina of Time.
I bought a Gamecube for Resident Evil.

However, I think Mario sells more systems. Gotta think of the young ones. They are the ones who buy most of the games. Personally, I buy systems for Zelda and Resident Evil games. If Mario is on the same platform then that's ok, but not necessary

[The Summoner of Leviathan]

I am tempted to buy a GameCube just to get Twilight Princess....

[Markus. D]

Links quests were more epic.


WIND WAKER ALL ZEE WAY!

[Giga Guess]

Mario....he's been there since the beginning, and he attracts a broader audience (Mario Kart for racers, SSB for fighters, Mario Party for party/whup friends games....all are lite versions of their genres, but still.....)

[Samuraid]

It's hard to say, I voted for Link but when it comes down to it, I think Mario has sold a bit more in the past.

Currently, I think Link has more selling potential.

[PramTheOracle]

Kirby.

[Rengori]

I thought you were going to say Pram.

[Noj_R]

Link

Mario games have lost it. Sure, the party games are fun. But I want 2 player mario games again, like the good old days. Super Mario in 3D with two players would be awesome. Nintendo is being dumb and I dont know why...

[Rengori]

Nintendo is being dumb and I dont know why...
Becuase they can be.

[TurkSlayer]

I bought an N64 for Ocarina of Time.

Same.


I am tempted to buy a GameCube just to get Twilight Princess....
Same. Though I do want the Fire Emblem game as well...

Hands down, Link is the best. The only one of the Nintendo mascots I like. Mario, Samus, Donkey Kong, I dislike all of them. Only Link gomes out victorious in my book... Well, and Leon from RE4, if you consider him a mascot. The creepy merchant is cooler though.

[escobert]

Link.

[Dolentrean]

Link, easy, I am buying a gamecube for the new zelda game! mario hit its peak at mario bros 3 for the NES. Zelda still kicks plumber ass!

[Mythra]

They are both excellent choices. The first Mario and Zelda games are the first games I remember playing as a kid, so in a way, they got me into gaming. I'll have to go with Link on this one though, I grew up playing Link to the Past, and in part, that game helped me learn to read. Both are great characters though

[*~Endless Night~*]

I prefer teh hotness that is link but id say mario sells more
