A look at the dweebs, trogs, butt-goblins and dingleberries that manage to make Waluigi seem less than terrible: http://shigeruslist.com/2012/03/12/whosucksmorethanwaluigi/

I think there are a lot of different factors that lead these indie developers to zero in on SMB1 instead of a different Mario title.  One of them funnily enough, I think is how familiar the game is.  Everybody knows SMB1, its tricks and how it works.  That way, when the game is tweaked, the differences are all the more dramatic.  I'm betting simplicity is a big factor too.

Ever wonder what would happen if Mario got a Portal gun?  Wonder no more! http://shigeruslist.com/2012/03/08/now-marios-thinking-with-portals/

Hahaha, if I was an evil Capcom exec, I'd read this whole thread as "we have to do a better job of keeping this [dukar] secret" rather than "we have to change our ways."  We might not always agree with their methods, but businesses are out to make money.  You can hate 'em all you want, but if they're making their numbers, they don't give a [dukar].  Look at George Lucas!

Without the data mining, we'd never know this stuff was on disc.  Would people react differently if this data wasn't on the disc, or are consumers just put out by the concept of DLC in general?

While it seems like kind of a sleazy move, the best thing for people to do is vote with their dollars.  I've had to game on a budget for a while now, and while I'd love to pick up new games at launch (Skyrim! :() I'm saving a bundle by not.  And really, I'm sure it's just a matter of months before there's a GOTY version of Skyrim with a ton of DLC already available, or a $20 release of the original game.  Same thing seems to be happening with Capcom fighters. 

I'm not really a fan of the genre (my fighting game love/expertise pretty much begins and ends with Smash Bros.) so my POV might be meaningless, but I love that Capcom thinks outside the box and throws in characters like Mega Man and Pac-Man.  They're two of the most famous game characters of all time, and are the unofficial mascots of their home companies... they deserve a spot as secret characters.

Dude, you should seriously consider giving Mario 3D Land a chance.

Speaking of Waluigi, here's an in-depth analysis of his creation, initial back-lash, and even back-lash to the back-lash.  Waluigi is truly the Ghostbusters II of Mario characters: . http://shigeruslist.com/2012/02/29/wheres-waluigi/

That sounds awesome!  In general, I want some nuclear/radioactive Pokemon.

Well I wouldn't go so far as to say it's one of the stupidest things I've ever heard.  I'm willing to bet the 2DS still has a larger user-base than the 3DS, so while Pokemon B2W2 could/should be used to get more people to buy 3DSes, it looks like Nintendo is opting to sell more copies of B2W2 to the larger user-base.  It doesn't make a ton of sense in the long-term, but in the short-term it's not so crazy.

Psyched for B2W2... assuming they're sequels and not just "Pokemon Grey" or the enhanced third game. Pokemon Black 2 the future! http://shigeruslist.com/2012/02/25/pokemon-black-2/

New dates added for the Zelda Symphony tour... most aren't even in my time zone. I'm definitely not bitter. Nope. http://shigeruslist.com/2012/02/24/more-zelda-symphony-tour-dates/
