Well, thats all a matter of opinion and taste. Some may be turned off by GTA3's over the top violence and enjoy more playful, cartoony games like Mario and Zelda. So in their case, those games are worth drooling over.
Now myself, I prefer games more along the lines of GTA3 and Halo. But even though I don't understand why people still like Mario (DON'T START), I don't think they shouldn't be able to say that they are anticipating it heavily or be laughed at, because A LOT of people are anticipating these games. And when I say A LOT, I mean A LOT
