oh boy, that sentence right there killed me.  lmao.

Oh so that's how kitler died...

So far, nothing that comes from this edge magazine makes sense to me.

Is he saying that they dicthed mario because they actually wanted to create a new IP? What about that the "only if the gameplay demand it" story?

He also said that about the games that only entrertain and not challenge, but the projects he showed at E3 didn't looked that deep in gameplay terms. When we will have acess to the full content of this magazine?

Some of the responses against the idea of making a new IP further corroborate the idea that Nintendo fans won't buy something unless it's Nintendo + known IP.

you'd be the only person. THose abominations is what makes the concept more interesting and qwerky.

I don't see how using Mario would make it an old IP. It would still feature the same new gamplay, levels, design etc. and be completely different to every other Mario game made.

Though squid-people swimming through their ink does make relatively more sense than if it were Mario et al.

That's not really a Nintendo fan thing, but an all people thing. People like brands that they know. Of course, if you have the money for a HUGE marketing campaign like Watch Dogs or Destiny you can counteract that, but if you don't, launching a new IP is pretty tough.

No. The ink is. If they were replaced with Mario characters with paintballs, it would have way more attention, and the characters wouldn't look stupid.

It didn't?

I cannot wait
