Ok, fine, it's humorous.

EDIT: Strikers felt quite a bit different than the other Mario sports titles....but I guess so.

It's generally agreed the Mario Party series is just milking itself, not just the Mario name...most people don't care anymore though.

Strikers is like Mad Max crossed with Dragon Ball Z crossed with soccer.

I don't get it...yeah, there's a ton of Mario games, but it's not "over-used" for the most part in my opinion.

I find it's typically fanboys of other systems that accuse Nintendo of rehashing Mario all the time to cash the cow. I enjoy most of the Mario games, because they're generally of good quality.

Using Mario for every single Nintendo game would definitely be overkill, which is why they picked Zelda for this game. Makes sense to me...

As long as most of the games remain good, I could care less as well. But now that we have:

Mario 2D platformers

Mario 3D platformers

Mario Kart

Mario RPG

Mario Party

Mario Golf

Mario Tennis

Mario Soccer

Mario Baseball

Mario Basketball

Doctor Mario

Mario and Sonic at the Olympics

Super Smash Bros*

Not to mention independent title for Mario-verse characters with Peach, Wario, Yoshi, Luigi and of course Donkey Kong**, it's a bit too late to start worrying about over-exposure.

*Techincally not a Mario title, but his mug is always predominantly featured in ads, and it does give Mario and his crew much more exposure.

**Yeah, I know that by title, Mario is technicaly a spin-off of the Donkey Kong series, but since the first DK game had you controlling Mario in a platformer trying to save a pink chick, you could argue that the gameplay was all Mario.

I will agree, Mario has been in tons and tons of games.

However, the context of the interview was that he wasn't going to use the Galaxy engine and make 5 new Core Mario Platformers with different ideas, though I would love that.
