Well what did America and Europe actually get on the 3DS these past two weeks? MGS and Kid Icarus, which everyone was on the fence with and MGS was a port of an old PS2 game. Was there anything else? Nintendo has to stop giving Japan all the good stuff. Should never have taken this long to get Xenoblade and The Last Story. The same goes for all the other titles that Japan is getting and we have to wait for.

I was hoping that games like Resident Evil, Tales, Tekken, and Mario & Sonic would give the 3DS something of a permanent boost. In retrospect, the 3DS hasn't really had that sort of boost in Japan. You're right, they just keep on getting cool new things.

The 3DS needs a REAL Mario game as a catalyst for hardware and software sales. It takes a killer app to spark excitement and this leads to more sales of everything.

The track record of Super Mario Bros. is incredible. It sells to both genders, all ages, in all regions. This is the kind of game that every video game publisher wants to have, it has truly universal appeal. But Nintendo treats it like an afterthought.

You should be thankful- if any other developer owned Mario they would already have milked it so that nobody would want to buy it anymore. Nintendo seem to limit themselves to one 2D Mario /console (sometimes less)
