Don't put it past Nintendo. He could "Ride" Yoshi who would spit out fire balls sort of like the Super Scope game on the SFC. Yakumo
I remeber the mario tv show with cap'n loue albano that was a master piece (live action mario show). Does anyone have the Mario rap?
Thanks haha. That was my attempt at a funny, it would apear i passed . Anyways, in all likelyhood it was a case of Konami only agreeing to do it with a Mario endorsement. It's well known that Nintendo games sell better than 3rd party games on Nintendo Systems.. and by slapping Mario on 3rd party games it gives the games that extra push... It's not a great way of doing things as it just serves to dilute Mario and his image, which is bad enough, what with him being a fat plumber with a cheesy pornstar moustache (you have to make a living somehow between games i guess). In some respects you have to give Nintendo probs for trying to help out 3rd party sales, and thus grab new games for its userbase.. on the other hand it would be better if they took the Sony and MS approach of bags off money instead of slapping Mario's smug face on everything... And thus, i chime in with Yakumo "FOR F*CKS SAKE, NINTENDO!"
It's really rather simple. If you dont like mario in games then dont buy them. Nintendo dont hold you at gunpoint. DDR is indeed a old series now that konami have milked to death. Id rather have mario any day than the other good old standby that konami use when making nintendo versions DISNEY arrrrrrrgh. Then again im in a minority here as these boards are very anti nintendo. But capcom are far worse, the milking of the rockman & street fighter games can easily rival nintendo. And then theres sega with the sonic games, that poor hedgehog has been shoehorned into many many games.
Well, I never thought of this board as being anti-Nintendo, to be honest. All other boards are just too Nintendo-focused though Eagerly awaiting Super Real Mario: The 6 Inch Throbbing Nightmare, scheduled for release on Saturn and FM Towns ;-)
It seems like that to me every time i click on a nintendo thread its the usual nintendo bashing, it just gets so tiresome.
Yeah Nintendo milk it, but as said above - if you dont want it, dont buy it! I must admit, I like Nintendo, they make very fun & unique games.
oh please sonic has hardly been whored out into as many games as the mario characters. The only reason it seems like everyone is anti-nintendo is because they waste their time making mario waterpolo instead of sitting their ass down and doing what they do well and actually make a good mario platformer. Or putting their skills to making a really good RPG or something original. Its too easy to go and whore mario out all the time and it dissapoints people who know Nintendo can make better games.
You seem to forget one thing, half of the games that have mario into them are not made by nintendo they are liscensed by nintendo. Mario party / Hudson Mario golf & tennis / Camelot Mario DDR / Konami Mario baseball / Namco Sonic might not have been used as much as nintendo use mario but he has starred in a huge amount of games.
I myself love nintendo to death, I just haven't bought any of their systems, thus any of their games, in ten years. Hell, I just got an N64 like 6 months ago!. Still, though, I really don't like the direction mario games are taking, but the real Mario games, the platformers, are pure bliss. I'm excited over the DS mario game, not 64 but the new one that's supposedly going to be released one day. I have my reasons for hating the cheeky little bastard, though.
I've despised pretty much everything made by Nintendo, with the huge exception of the Super Famicom. I love that system, and I'll own one one day (when I find one that isn't piss-yellow). I just don't like them, I'm not going to go off into why. If you like Nintendo, more power to you .
i love nintendo too, it's just that i'm tired of that and why can't they do sports tittles without mario anyway? exitebike, punch-out and 1080 all succeded very well. If nintendo's making a new game and that isn't a new ''real'' game for link, samus, falcon, donkey kong or fox, then you know mario will be in it, or it's friends, at least. Nintendo doesn't need mario to make a game with their own magic touch.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I wouldn't say that this board is anti Nintendo Importaku It's just that every other Nintendo release whether made by them or not has Mario in it. It's far worse than Sonic who has been in many games but nowhere near as many as Mario. Rockman and Street Fighter are also milked as is Konami's tokimeki games and so on but they appear mostly in there own games, not across many other different types of games. I think Nintendo should stop pissing about with sticking Mario in every other game and just make a really good platformer staring Mario. I've never been a big fan of Mario but I do enjoy his platformers. I played the SFC Super Mario to death and really enjoyed playing Mario 64 on my DS but all these spin offs is really boring. If it was Sonic I'd say the same thing about him. In fact I don't really like all these Sonic collections around over the last year or two. Sega should stop pissing about and stick EVERY sonic game on to one DVD since it's easily possible.
Hehe damn you got me, mmm i have no idea what they are doing, probably playing nintendogs. For new original non mario nintendo game chibi robo has my vote, its simply fantastic im having so much fun (not a single mario cameo in sight) however that wasnt 100% made by nintendo it was a colaberation between nintendo/skip & bandai.
