(+) Yeah! (+)

Spin-offs makes it very hard for it to be not-Mario. The series has dabbled in more genres than anything so unless you want a specific genre it's an easy choice.

Of course it also depends on what you classify as spin-offs. Would that include Luigi/Wario/Yoshi games? If so then Mario is a spin-off of Donkey Kong so it would be better to go up a rung and select that series.

Either Fire Emblem or Pokemon

Leaning toward FE since then I can experience good games being released in the future.

Although pokemon literally gives me almost every genre of game to play

I think it has to be something that would get the Mario series logo in Smash

So Luigi yes, Yoshi/Wario mostly no, DK definitely no except for the Mario vs DK series

I would go with, "Does it have Mario in the title?" as how I would separate things. That however, eliminates Luigi's Mansion and things like Super Princess Peach that a lot of people would combine with the Mario series.

The logo in Smash is a good idea too.

if it has two or more games it's its own series, not a spinoff

And the Spirits are organized by Series so its easy to see what they consider Mario

Assassin's Creed. Yearly releases until the end of time? I'm set.

In topics like this I find I just look for Snake's post and quote it lol

Final Fantasy comes with two MMOs!

If I say Dragon Quest can I guarantee an English DQX localization?

Of course not. Not to say it couldn't happen within your lifetime.
Or you can learn Japanoise.

Expected, but excellent choice. It's like three in one.

True. I think I gotta go with FF for its breadth and longevity.

I actually have learned Japanese! (Though it was a long time ago and I've forgotten a lot of it)
But unless something's changed since I last checked you literally can't even play the game in Japanese unless you're in Asia!
