This is the second time in a thread I strongly agree with you. That is either frightening and/or interesting.

 

I have my moments.


I was sure someone would bring the torches and pitchforks to me for "ripping on Mario" in there (it might still happen), but I'm so sick of Nintendo over-using the character, like they're desperate for sales and afraid to try anything new or different.  

Nintendo:  "Let's make a sports game!"

Nintendo dev:  "Okay!"  

Nintendo:  "Hey, let's make it with Mario!"

Nintendo dev:  "For some reason, we agree that's a good idea!"  

 

Constantly being bombarded with Tony Hawk, Sonic, and Guitar Hero certainly didn't help those franchises.  I'd really rather not see a childhood icon turned into the next latter-day Sonic.
