Was America nonchalant about Amiga arcade gaming?

[jj]

Americans played Nintendo and other consoles back when we played Amiga games. In the beginning, most of the quality Amiga games came from the US, but nearer to the 90s it was Europe in the lead and USA had confined the Amiga to be a host to the video toaster card.
 
Look at any "top 100 games since 1970" lists in US based blogs and that wretched Mario is on top of each one.
 
The world is full of fine platformers, Mario is not one of them. ;-)

 
Mario is not a fine platformer. Ummm ok

Well superfrog, brillaint game, runined by jump being up on the joystick

Actually I never liked Mario either... I loved New Zeland Story though

 
I was not fussed on the earlier versions.   But super mario world and yoshi's island on the snes or two of my fav games of all time.
 
Much prefer them to sonic.
 
I always thought that platform games on the amiga were on the whole very dissapointing compared to the console platformers.
