LBP will be Mario killer

I too think that platformers peaked in the 2d phase. 3d ones, even my favorites still don't compare to classics like Super Mario World. But that's why i'm happy LBP is a 2d platformer. Maybe it can bring the genre back and do as good a job.

As far as killing Mario, even if this game is better than SMW I doubt it. He's been around far too long for an upstart like sackboy to tarnish his image in the least. Now if sony has a band of games to milk it like little big golf, tennis, etc then by the end of the generation he may have a sliver of a chance of starting to compete.

Not to mention he probably just can't get that huge until Sony does something bout the price of thier machine.  $299 ps3 bundle with LBP would do both much better justice.  Here's for hoping surprise holiday cut or more likely a new price point after this fiscal year has ended probably march or april when sales tend to go down anyway.

It would make Sony look very desperate in trying to steal Mario's limelight by doing this, and people would shun Sony and the game.

Coolestguyever, it's what my character model looks like on Final Fantasy XI >____> I'm a male Elvaan with spiky blonde hair named Naraku and Diabolos is my server's name, hence "Naraku_Diabolos."

EDIT: WoW can suck my left nut.
