He's not wrong. Mario is the most known Videogame character in the world.

Why stop there Shigero?

Nintendo is the Disney of Video Games.

I came to this realization over the years getting my son to play Nintendo games and watching him light up the same way I did playing games on the NES/SNES/N64. Nintendo still has it's magic.

Honestly sounds about right. I'd agree 100%, but I'm sure someone will try to make this negative or deny it.

Agree with Mickey Mouse comparison. And agree with your Disney comparison.

But I don't think they even need to say "of Video Games", I feel like Mario is on par with Mickey Mouse. He may not have as much history, but he's just as iconic in general popular culture.

Why do they do they bring this up every so often? This comparison was made in the late 80s as well and several times after. Sheesh!

Yes I agree though.
