the awesomeness keeps on coming! I wonder thu what joelcool will make of this: he don't think it's such a great idea to launch WiiU with a 2d mario...


I stand by what I have said releasing a Mario game any main Mario game within the six month launch window is a bad idea. With all the announcements and leaks pointing to over whelming third party support Mario is not only over kill he would be counter productive. I also stand by what I said about 2D Mario it should not be present within the launch year ideally.

Of course however I can understand why it is coming. Its not coming for profits or business sense. It is coming for political reasons share holders need to have full confidence in the WiiU and shareholders are not often educated in the industry and how it works. Nintendo needs something that will renew investor confidence and show Nintendo is going to be a success. As I said Mario within the launch window is ridiculous over kill. But I'd say Nintendo needs to show Mario at E3 even just for the sake of investors.

I am just hoping Nintendo keeps third parties as well as new and lesser popular first party IP in mind when launching Mario. I still suspect Nintendo will announce Mario for Summer/fall 2semester
