    Of course. Even IF Nintendo ever went bankrupt the bidding war would be a bloodbath.

  2. At this point Mario is more famous than Mickey Mouse and Jesus combined. He’ll be find indeed.

  3. Would have been funny Miyamoto thought Mario was over.

    “This Miyamoto. Mario is not going to survive past 2030. Say your prayers”

    I would bet my life that Mario will outlive any human being that’s alive right now

    He’s the Mickey Mouse of video games. He’s the Coca-Cola of video games. He’s the Superman of video games. He’s more than a character: he’s an icon and a symbol of an entire medium

    Even if Nintendo were to stop making video games one day, Mario would persist in other entertainment avenues like cartoons, movies, or commercials

    And in the extreme case that Nintendo ever went under for whatever reason, another company would buy up the Mario IP in a heartbeat

    In other news water is wet, grass is green, and the sky is blue.

  6. We’ll all be long dead before Mario gets even close.

    So long as he doesn’t get MeToo’d that is

    No shit. This would be like Disney discontinuing Mickey Mouse after Walt died.

    Mario will outlive us all, it’s the number 1 brand associated with Nintendo.

    Bro is carrying me through my depression and this USA shitshow.

  10. By the time we go extinct, the next civilization will likely find Mario merchandise and assume that this man and his tails shown that he was some sort of champion of the people.

    Ugh fine.
    But can they please only give us no more than 3 Mario games per console going forward?

    If Mario ever fades into obscurity, then we would have failed as a society.

    Mario: What two businesses have historically been recession-proof, since time immemorial?

    Luigi: Certain aspects of show business… and our thing.

  14. As long as they keep making a brand new Super Mario Bros. Game, Mario will stay relevant and not end up in obscurity like Bubsy or Gex.

    If they don’t mess up really bad, and humanity doesn’t send itself back to the stone age, yes.
