It would sell more than Wii Sports... non-bundled!
Above: still the best game of the year.

Mega Man 9, Mega Man 10, and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 Episode 1 are all multiplat, but Contra ReBirth is a WiiWare exclusive. What I meant was... Wii is the only system with ALL of those retro games together. And I wasn't including DS.
The other systems only get new Sonic and new Mega Man. Wii gets those along with Mario, Blaster Master, Excite Bike, and everything else.
I guess the other systems got Bionic Commando and Double Dragon, but Wii's retro lineup is blowing them all away.
yes lets turn the mario franchise into a FPS and lose 10 million in sales....sounds like a decision sony would take LOL

Bill Gates had Mac prototypes to work from, and he was known to be obsessed with trying to make Windows as good as SAND (Steve's Amazing New Device), as a Microsoft exec named it. It was the Mac that Microsoft took for its blueprint on how to make a GUI.

This has a lot of merit, but there is a bigger reason as to why that is.
Mario for the older generation grew up on the original NES. These people are now in the 30+ age group. This is clearly past that adolescent age.
The younger generation that's into Mario is because the older Generation bought a Wii for gaming. blah blah blah about consoles leaving market behind....
The adolescent generation. Isn't into Mario because the PS brand was dominent. There was no Mario. The late PS1 and early PS2 is the current market.
This means that Mario does not need to change. It means that as we move into Wii2, PS4, X720... comes about these Mario players of the young generation become that adolescence. While there will be some overlap the general big mainstream push of the kids will phase out PS era generation from youth and an utter shift of opinion will occur.
All I have to say is just understand Disney. Except for a loudmouth of vocal anti disney teenagers(that also massivly overlap with video gamer) most people grow up with Disney from birth to death these days.
So Nintendo doesn't have to reinvent. It just has to wait and phase out the current teenager. It's been done for thousands of years. It will be done again.
anyways great article. It wasn't all that funny. but was an amusing read.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
Mario doesn't need to be reinvented... but nintendo could you release a game with this style, preety please?? It's gonna be sooo gorgeous, just like Wind Waker was (and is! Better than Killzone 2, yeah, I said it!)

Just look at Morton Koopa Jr. - he's so cute!
I look forward to MarioShock - a complex exploration of Moral Choices and Ayn Randian philosophy with a focus on mushorooms and plumbing....
