Awesome thread to read. One of the most obvious pieces of satire I've ever seen in my life and yet so many people victimized.
Anyway, on topic, I do wonder how many different game-play types will get the Mario skin treatment before it's all said and done. It's hard to blame Nintendo, though, when so many Nintendo fans will ignore a new IP unless it stars a plumber. W101 would have sold millions more if it was about Mario and had 90% less story.
