I guess I don't play Mario then. It's a pretty simple concept.

You underestimate how many people literally cannot stop themselves from playing Mario. I'd hope it's mostly children begging their parents, but I have a feeling there's a decent amount of 30 year olds with disposable income and zero impulse control in there.

I'm going to try very hard not to be, but I'm definitely the type of person you're describing. That Nintendo direct had me drooling at the new Mario kart and donkey Kong games, and nothing hits like a zelda. Super mario wonder was a delight.

I only hope I can emulate this system relatively quickly. I am not a man of strong willpower.

Don’t feel bad for liking things. Your post kinda bums me out. Don’t let all this negative hype impact what will make you happy. If you can afford it. Do it. If you can’t then yeah don’t, but we as people are allowed to enjoy things.
