"I didn't say it's not possible (search for 'Somari' rom, some home-made NES mashup of Sonic/Mario): I said there's no point. Simply featuring two specific characters does not lend a game anymore potential fun or quality."
That's still a fallacy. For one thing, you are still assuming a total lack if not of possibility than of point. For another, you are assuming I mean nothing more than putting them in the same game.
What the hell made you think I meant just that? |
No, that is not a fallacy. Where the hell did you take your logic classes?
No realistic person wants this game. What could a Sonic/Mario platformer possibly offer the world that a brand new platformer could not?
There is no reason to even imagine or desire such a thing besides growing up in the 90's, and claiming that making a cash-in mash-up would be in line with Nintendo's be-imaginative-and-innovative philosophy is one of the most self-contradicting things I've ever heard.

I already said I'd want it, as long as both Dimps and Nintendo worked together to produce it.
And so what if part of the reason for wanting it was '90s nostalgia'? If that's what's selling Sonic and Mario games today, that's an awful lot of nostalgia selling that software.
...or maybe some people are actually playing the games....you know....for the gameplay? Nah, Super Mario Galaxy and the Dimps developed Sonic games didn't bring anything new to the plate....

I didn't say nostalgia. I said growing up in the 90's. Nobody else is aware of how strongly Mario and Sonic are tied together because they grew up in the post-Sega console era, hence Sonic was nowhere near the level of Mario's popularity.
Not nostalgia, it's just that the two together holds little significance for those who weren't around for the Sega/Nintendo rivalry of yore.
