Good to see masters of innovation bringing another new IP


oh be fair, nintendo did well to only develop 4 mario games for the 3ds within a year.


Why people think  3D Mario, Mario Kart, 2D Mario and Paper Mario (assuming this is the 4th title you speak of) is the same IP? You get very different experiences from all of them. As a DS owner only, it's been since 2006 I haven't got a 2D Mario.

actually i had completely forgotten that one... i was referring to mario tennis.    

so do you think little big planet and little big planet karting are not the same IP?  cause that sounds pretty wrong to me.  how about ratchet and clank vs. ratchet and clank all 4 one -- quite different experiences afterall.


Definitely not the same IPs. I've never played those, but if they're as dfferent as you say they shoud be considered different ips too, why not?

Depends on how the world sees them, I suppose, and in the case of ratchet and clank I believe the world sees them both as 3D plattformers, so they're stuck in the same genre, and therefore are more compared between them. It's very different than the Mario situation, where there's a 2D platformer, 3D platformer, Racer, RPG and Sports game.

LBP Kart and LBP are most definitely not the same IP, imo.
