I didnt know if this was "tech talk" or if it transcends that? Feel free to move it.

I doubt Mario would be the success he is now (due to popularity with children) if he had a gun all along.

I think the best part of mario was the wacky ways he killed such a wide array of enemies. And how some of the suits gave him such weird powers (frog suit). A gun would not have fit in at all; too realistic I guess is the best way to say it.

But then again, an Italian with a gun who owns a plumbing company.

That would be pretty gangster.

I'm not a video game guy at all, but I do know that Nintendo started out as a playing card company like 90 years ago, so I doubt they are actually talking about the real "early days" of Nintendo.
