Pah. tbh - on Mario and Starfox - they're dining out on past glories on those ones. I'm not sure of my history, but essentially Mario is just a platformer and not even sure Mario/DK was the first of these? As for Starfox - sure - great idea, but picked up and ran with/bettered in the next generation.
Zelda: granted.
Metroid - equally likeable, but not sure standing alone these days.
Man, I never realised I disliked Nintendo so much! They just feel like corporate, money-grabbing pigs to me.
