Mario is the largest brandname figure in gaming. He's going to sell no matter what he's in. I don't blame Nintendo for wanting to make user friendly sports games with him. Without him in it, they wouldn't sell. I don't call it milking the franchise. I call it smart. People will say you dont' see other people doing that with their top characters, but how many other characters could really be in so many different games. Mario is easily the most versatile character in gaming.
