Last time i remember someone making such a ridiculous claim towards a Mario game was when the some dude from Naughty Dog was saying that Crash Bandicoot was going to kill Mario 64.

 

 Crash took Sonic out of the game. Then Sony dropped him like the fools that they are. Crash took second as one of the top selling platform games of all time.

yea i gotta wonder what sony was thinking with crash. they spent tons of money advertising him like he was the sony mascot then just dropped him.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

crash was part owned or fully owned by universal studios, they probably couldn't reach a deal or something

Next episode: Ratchet is better than Link (if someone says that i will stab you in the jaw)

 

Ratchet = Zelda Killer

Not even the same genre.  Dark Cloud = "Zelda Killer" - don't you remember!?

And this, boys and girls, is a comment that shows you have no idea about gaming history.

If you'll look to your left, you'll see the exit.  Please use it.

 



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

I too think that platformers peaked in the 2d phase. 3d ones, even my favorites still don't compare to classics like Super Mario World. But that's why i'm happy LBP is a 2d platformer. Maybe it can bring the genre back and do as good a job.

As far as killing Mario, even if this game is better than SMW I doubt it. He's been around far too long for an upstart like sackboy to tarnish his image in the least. Now if sony has a band of games to milk it like little big golf, tennis, etc then by the end of the generation he may have a sliver of a chance of starting to compete.

Not to mention he probably just can't get that huge until Sony does something bout the price of thier machine.  $299 ps3 bundle with LBP would do both much better justice.  Here's for hoping surprise holiday cut or more likely a new price point after this fiscal year has ended probably march or april when sales tend to go down anyway.

It would make Sony look very desperate in trying to steal Mario's limelight by doing this, and people would shun Sony and the game.

Coolestguyever, it's what my character model looks like on Final Fantasy XI >____> I'm a male Elvaan with spiky blonde hair named Naraku and Diabolos is my server's name, hence "Naraku_Diabolos."

EDIT: WoW can suck my left nut.

 

I don't think so.  System mascots are supposed to be prominent.  That would be like saying sega is copying nintendo because sonic has appeared in games outside of his main platforming series(Racing, Pinball, Fighting, Sports, and soon coming rpg).  If you are lucky enough to have a popular character you use it.

Wether or not Sackboy will become popular remains to be seen.
