From IGN:

"In a recent interview, Nintendo's own Shigeru Miyamoto said that he didn't want to over-use Mario..."

 And I thought Leo-J was delusional!

Ok someone tell me, is that a great example of a oxymoron or is it just irony. Also if any Ms or Sony dev said anything that foolish they would be getting crucified on here.

I don't get it...yeah, there's a ton of Mario games, but it's not "over-used" for the most part in my opinion.

I find it's typically fanboys of other systems that accuse Nintendo of rehashing Mario all the time to cash the cow. I enjoy most of the Mario games, because they're generally of good quality.

Using Mario for every single Nintendo game would definitely be overkill, which is why they picked Zelda for this game. Makes sense to me...

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

Of course...making that comment with a new Mario Baseball game just announced is a bit ironic...I would consider Mario Baseball a bit of a stretch.

I could be wrong, but I assume that he would mean that he doesn't want to continue to produce (many) new franchises based on Mario ... Hypothetically speaking, Pikmin could have been "Mario and the Pikmin" and Wii Sports could have been "Mario's mini-Sports" ...

 >________<.  Mario is the character who is used the most in games in all the gameshistory and then you don't get it why this is fun?


Okay true it is not HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA funny but still it is strange to hear that from Miyamoto himself X_X.

The Mario Tennis/Baseball/Strikers/Golf/etc. are pretty much one series of game where Nintendo switches the sport up ... I would agree they were taking it too far if they were releasing multiples of these games in each generation. The Mario RPG and Mario Platformer games are also generally released as one per generation ...

The Mario Party Series takes it too far though
