The day there's a Mario Killer is the day Nintendo dies.

I'm sure Nintendo has a few things it could fall back on.

Nothing will ever kill Mario in sales.

Quality, well... That's another thing.

What are you implying..

That nothing will beat Mario in sales, but Mario has been and can be beaten in quality...

Sure.. Examples.

They'd definitely help your argument.

2D Mario... Little Big Planet.

3D Mario... Nothing yet.

So you; Carl2291, being of sound mind and body, are willing to argue that LittleBigPlanet is better than every Super Mario Platformer ever made?

Of course not. I was talking about this gen, not past gen's.



                            

Mario killer, no; but competition yes.

PS3 has LittleBigPlanet which has gotten a large boost due to bundles and holiday sales.

Xbox doesn't have any though I don't think.

Are you saying that New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii are inferior to LittleBigPlanet?

you should give an example!!!


Back last gen, Mario Sunshine's and Luigi's Mansion's gameplay wasn't up to par with SONY's Ratchet & Clank, Sly Cooper, and Jak & Daxter series.  Currently, it's easy to argue that Little Big Planet and the current gen Ratchet & Clank games are on par with Super Mario Bro's Wii and Mario Galaxy if not better.  You also have Braid via Xbox Live Marketplace and the PSN.  I love platforming, and Mario will always be a staple.  You're pretty much guaranteed quality when it comes to a Mario platformer.  But that doesn't mean that a Mario platformer will be the best option in gameplay.

Carl, the fact that you've just been bested does not mean you are allowed to change the conditions to make yourself not look foolish.

People should drop the "quality" arguments... You're really arguing over your own personal preferences. There is no objective standard of 'quality', even sales is only an imperfect measure of 'what people want', but there is no way to claim one game is objectively higher quality than another. Metacritic won't do it either, as it's unrepresentative of the general population.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

There's only one way to kill Mario. You've gotta drive a wedge between the bros. Decades of jealousy from living in the shadows will drive a man insane. One brother always gets the acclaim. One brother always gets the princess.

Luigi has been teetering on the brink for some time now. He just needs one little push... and Mario won't be a problem anymore.

Didn't Luigi save the entire WORLD when he was a baby?

He is not stewing in his own jealousy, I would say he is living in humility.
