Oh hey, a Super Mario RPG playrate poll. This should be interesting because of its relative obscurity in Europe.

I finally went through the Super Mario RPG playrate poll to look at the Geolocation results.

US - 65.79%
Canada - 73.01%
Mexico - 70.94%

Pretty high results for all 3 major countries of North America.

Brazil - 64.07%
Colombia - 62.50%
Ecuador - 60.00%
Chile - 76.74%
Argentina - 35.42%

Results from the most notable countries in South America show that Mario RPG does quite well there too, with Argentina being the major outlier. Other South America countries likely have a sample size too small to draw any conclusions, especially Venezuela with that country's political situation.

UK - 32.06%
Ireland - 50.00%
Australia - 46.29%
New Zealand - 33.33%

Results from the other English speaking countries are much lower than the US/Canada, though Ireland and Australia fare the best while the UK does the worst and New Zealand only slightly better.

Norway - 48.84%
Denmark - 34.38%
Sweden - 60.46%
Finland - 43.75%
Netherlands - 44.72%
Germany - 47.26%
Austria - 58.34%
Poland - 34.43%
France - 52.59%
Italy - 35.10%
Spain - 38.00%

Now we get to mainland Europe and these are all the notable countries with higher playrate numbers than the UK. Sweden and Austria come the closest to matching the US playrate. The lowest playrates in Europe are mainly seen in Eastern Europe.

Asia playrates are among the lowest in the world, which isn't too surprising. Only South Korea and Japan have very high playrates for Mario RPG, but the voting base in those countries are mostly foreigners.

Save for 2 weeks ago, I haven't touched my only pair of shoes/sneakers in several months.

I actually had to literally dust 'em off.

Legolas and Aragorn would do better, imo.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/5410-are-you-male-or-female

I didn't realize we haven't run this poll in 7 years, but I can't imagine the number is above even 10% regardless. If anything, I think it's more likely that number has gone down.

that's crazy. GameFAQs userbase has gotten OLD , we are like all in our 30s. I doubt we have many females or teenagers still using this site.

The percentage for "Female" has been slowly going up over the history of the poll, but mainly because some of our existing male users discovered that they are transgender and make the transition to being female. When you have a relatively static userbase, even a very small number of male users transitioning to female would clearly have an effect on the results of the poll.

Really? The Switch truly is a GOAT-level system.

It really is very powerful, but someone argued that the Switch has recency bias and that the next Nintendo console will put it behind since it suffers from many issues (mainly drifting).

Having the old school systems in the field throws that poll way off as it is.

But yeah, of course GameFAQs would skew towards the Cube in comparison to other places.

Super Castlevania IV for Game of the 90's!

I know it has more hidden potential than people give it credit for.

Nobody was willing to believe me back in 2010 when I said that FFVI would beat FFX 1v1.
