Too Much Mario?

Mario. He’s been Nintendo mascot for over 25 years and his games are known around the globe. In fact, Mario is so popular that more people around the world recognize him than Mickey Mouse. He’s saved the mushroom kingdom dozens of time and has been involved in more athletics than a professional decathlete. He’s also the best plumber I’ve ever seen. Cleared up those parana planets I had clogging my pipes in a jiffy.

Not enough anything, right now... They really need to release something.

firemassacre5375d ago (Edited 5375d ago )

never too much mario.

Venoxn4g5375d ago

as long as there are quality Mario games, please release more more and more..!

psvitaisking5375d ago

to a certain extent.. i would love some new characters n ip's on the wii U...

mike1up5375d ago

Nice article.

I have to say, the more Mario the better. I dont play any of the party/sports games, but i have all of the adventure games. Nice points on how Nintendo is seemingly abandoning their other titles (i.e. Fire Emblem, F-Zero, Starfox etc.).

But yea, really love where Nintendo is going with Mario Galaxy 1 & 2.

ChickeyCantor5375d ago

What...
Fire Emblem was released on the Wii.
I don't see them "abandoning" their titles.
WiiU will have them, no doubt about it.

mike1up5375d ago (Edited 5375d ago )

Fire Emblem was released on the Wii, and it was awesome. I have it. My point is that there were 3 Mario games released on the Wii (not counting Paper Mario, Mario Party, and Mario Sports games): New Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Galaxy, and Super Mario Galaxy 2.

There was only 1 Fire Emblem game released for the Wii. There was also only 1 Fire Emblem game released for the DS.

StarFox had 1 DS game, and no games on the home console. Nintendo hasnt even released the original SNES version on Virtual Console.

And zero new F-Zero games. So yea, i think a few titles got abandoned this generation.

ChickeyCantor5374d ago

It's your choice of word.
Abandoned is pretty heavy in any context.

gbdasbutch5375d ago

Nintendo have churned out the same franchises on each platform release since the N64. Great as the games are, I would love to see them take a risk on some new IPs.

So I'd like to see Mario (and others) take a back seat but I definitely don't want them killed off altogether

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi62d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer63d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot63d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno63d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay63d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno61d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK62d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
