None of those things really bother me though. 

They're fairly minor and it's nothing new. Mario was in NBA Street and SSX 11 years ago. Mario has been crossing over into other game franchises since the early days of the NES. 

They Bayonetta Nintendo costumes are f**king awesome too. I'm surprised Nintendo allowed it. 


Its cool when it happens once in a while, but its getting a bit much. They throw them in whatever game comes along. When I see it now its not "Oh thats sooo cool" Its become "Again?"

Its not just lending out their characters, but do you realize we have gotten 6 Zelda games in the last three years with a 7th coming soon? We have also gotten 4 Mario platformers in 2 years?...and god know how many Pokemon games...

They just seem to rely waaaaay too much on their current IPs.

Have you looked at their financials? They need to start making money. 

If anything Nintendo is pretty reserved with their character IP. Why does Sonic, which is now a D-tier franchise ... why does Sonic have an animated TV show whereas Mario does not? 

Amiibo is them finally actually branching out and bringing a lot of their wider character IP in some other form than just video games that come out once in a while. 

A lot of kids have no idea who Little Mac, Olimar, Pitt, Samus, Fox McLeod, or Captain Falcon are.
