No way, Mario obviously needs to adapt to the 21st century. I mean, just look at what adding a strong, overarching story and a ton of cutscenes did for other venerable platforming franchises, like, say, http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages2/929717.asp?q=sonic%20the%20hedgehog ! Clearly improved, right?
"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."
