Mario is a character is definitely milked, but what company wouldn't milk a character with Mario-status???
Mario is up there with Mickey Mouse and Ronald McDonald is terms of brand recognition...
Other companies would kill for that kind of character...
It is safe to assume that Nintendo is going to make a kart racing game or tennis game; why no use one of the world's most familiar faces to guarantee greater interest???
And given that NSMB2 and NSMBU were released within three months to each other, I can't blame anyone for feeling a little Mario-related fatigue...
As much as I love a good Mario platformer, I can't say I'm all that pumped to see a new Mario at E3...
Have a nice day...
