Yes, that is all very correct. I have no clue why Zelda is winning in the poll. Perhaps some people are misinterpreting the meaning of this thread.
I truly believe Mario is Nintendo's mascot, of course as arkvoodle stated. Mario isn't always featured in stellar games (hello, Mario Party series)... but he sure is a phenomenon. Perhaps the reason for Mario's popularity is the 200+ games he has been featured in. There's no doubt for me that...
I don't believe I saw another thread similar to this on ZD, so...
Which franchise do you believe truly represents Nintendo? I'm not asking which franchise you think is better, but rather which one suits the role of Nintendo's mascot more comfortably. :)
