Top 5 Japanese Game Series'

Gaming Bolt: "Japan was often known as the video game capital of the world. All the technology and all of the best games used to come from Japanese companies but unfortunately there has been a decline in Japan recently which has limited the games. There is a lack of the innovation that we used to see coming from Japan in the recent years and the Japanese people seem to be less interested in games now. However we can always hope that the gaming industry returns to what it was in Japan and until then we can look at the 5 best video game series' to come from Japan."

Mario certainly has stood the test of time and is one of the longest running games ever

How many more variations of Mario can they possibly come up with? Mario at this point lacks originality

In the "mascot" spinoffs (Strikers, Sluggers, Party, etc.) Mario isn't original, because those are fairly by-the-numbers games.

But the dedicated Mario games? I think Galaxy was plenty original. Great level design throughout, IMO.

I guess Mario was the original mascot of gaming so it should have been number one

How do you make a list like that and not include Dragon Warrior? Much less not list it at #1.

"There are plenty of amazing Mario games but truth be told there are just too many bad ones too. He pops up everywhere. Yeah, I do like his games but I don’t like how he seems to be in a new game every month and half of them turn out crap anyway."
--------

Well, the crap games are the "mascot" games -- Strikers, Sluggers, etc.

ACTUAL Mario games -- dedicated platformers -- are always good. Sunshine was probably the least well reviewed of the lot, and it's still better than most games. And Mario platformers are pretty rare these days, to boot.
