Yeah, I thought the reason was because people have a natural tendency to want to turn right instead of left so it just feels more natural to want to see whats on the right side of the screen and move in that direction. I am probably wrong, but that's what I always wondered.
There's a lot of languages which read right to left (Hebrew, Arabic, Japanese). I wonder how that plays into it.
Come to think of it, Mario is a Japanese character. They're used to tracking things right to left.
