Mario is, without a doubt, the hardest working video game character of all time. When he’s not off on adventures saving the princess (and only getting cake as a reward), he’s off throwing parties or out go-karting. Other times he’s playing football, tennis, basketball, or competing against Sonic in the Olympics. He even sometimes gets into fights with his Nintendo buddies. Over the past few years, he has been in more games than Samuel L Jackson has been in movies. And, with the E3 announcement of two Mario games out later this year, isn’t about time that the plumber puts his feet up and let someone else take over for a bit?

The official creator of the Super Mario Bros. manga, Kazuki Motoyama, has passed away at the age of 69.

These groundbreaking video games changed gaming forever and drew in scores of fans in the process.

From Toadsworth to King Wart, several Mario characters have been sidelined by Nintendo.
It is beyond time for a new Star Fox game, and the 3DS is the perfect platform for a new romp in that galaxy.
LISTEN Nintendo. Please bring Fox back for another adventure.
Sony and Microsoft won't stop developing their top selling IP's, so what makes you think Nintendo will?
And for those of you who think Nintendo doesn't make new IP's - they do, it's just that people recognise them as much (Pushmo, Xenoblade, The Last Story, Pandora's Tower, etc.).
