I loved Galaxy but I'm sorry Nintendo's E3 Mario announcements were underwhelming to me. I may be wrong, but this seems like if it were on any other console it would be DLC...  It seems to be just more levels and a couple of extra characters.

And NSMB Wii looks fun but 4 player co-op without online WTF? I know they are eeking every last drop out of the Wii with that game but c'mom!  Sony already did it last year successfully with Little Big Planet.

Way to run a franchise into the ground Nintendo!

Do you actually mean that?

he better not!

Well lets see...

Wii Games with Mario in the title:

Super Paper Mario

Mario Strikers Charged

Mario Party 8

Super Mario Sluggers

Super Mario Galaxy

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Mario Kart Wii

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games

Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games

Mario Power Tennis (NPC)

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

I get really sick of Nintendo whoring out the big guy so much.  I think they should use him just like Link and only have 1 or 2 quality outings per console generation and and brand other stuff with different characters sometimes.   Realistically, the Mario Sports games could have been made into Mii control games this gen.  And really, the only games I think that I are must owns for me with Mario in the title are Super Paper Mario, Mario Galaxy, and now Galaxy 2 and NSMB.

Galaxy was really short even when beating the 120 stars so they could have just put all the content in Mario Galaxy 2 in the first one or done like any other game developer would have and just made it an expansion pack.  

I'm sure I will get flamed for this but keep in mind this is just my opinion (and you can look at my game collection to see I am no Wii hater), but like others have said, I would just prefer that Mario stick to 1 or 2 quality outings per console generation and Nintendo could actually focus on some of their other great franchises like Star Fox, Kirby, F-Zero, Kid Icarus, Donkey Kong, Pikmin, a stand-alone Yoshi game, 2-D reimaginings for Wiiware, or ***Gasp*** make a something new....

And yes, I am aware Nintendo has made a few other good franchise games this gen, like MP3, Smash, Brawl, and Metroid Other M but they could have already done so much more without so much Mario!
