In all fairness, all Little Mac does is punch and we're using him. The problem is star quality. After the Sonic franchise, who pops to mind? Maybe NiGHTS, who really only flies or ToeJam and Earl, who A) couldn't be in without the other and B) Are still not huge characters. Sega is Sonic and Sonic is Sega. Nintendo can get away with obscure characters because it's their franchise.
