Isn't that true of every game? Mario wasn't the first platformer, but it is the genre defining platformer. But I do think the 'Fus-Roh-Dah' was a pretty original and endlessly fun gameplay mechanic.

Skyrim struck on a formula that made for a deeply immersive gaming experience. Every fantasy open world game that came after it had to copy and expand on that formula to be successful.
