I mean, Harmonix is making a Lego Rock Band. Alternately, Activision does love whoring out the Guitar Hero series by creating as many games as possible. With DDR Mario Mix on the table, I don't see why it's not a possibility.

And personally, I think it'd be an awesome concept anyway. After seeing Bowser breakdancing in DDR Mario Mix, I'm eager to see him shred a guitar.

* SolidShroom wakes Chupperson and reminds him that this is only silly speculation and that hopefully it won't happen because people interested in Guitar Hero and people interested in video game music are practically two completely different groups.

* CrossEyed7 has to admit that he actually would be rather interested in such a game, such as it is.

I'm with CE7. A Mario edition would probably be the only one that would be even a smidge likely to get me to touch a GH/RB-esque game.

I'm somewhat fond of RB as it is, and would greatly consider getting a Mario RB, actually. Props to CE7!

Just do Nintendo Hero and give me a game full of rock remixes of said music.

* CrossEyed7 thinks we should go back to talking like this.

* ShadowBrain doesn't understand why third-person statements need to be in pink.

* Chupperson Weird realizes that ShadowBrain doesn't know about the /me command.

* jdaster64 discovers the /me command.

* Weegee isn't really contributing to this thread as much as he wants to attempt this new-fangled /me command.

Back to FG's original proposition, the difference between, say, Lego Rock Band, and a Mario Rock Band is that the former is simply pasting adorable Lego minifigs into the existing Rock Band formula. Conversely, a Mario-themed Harmonix title would presumably include a library of remixed Nintendo anthems. Let's just pray that Nintendo doesn't catch word of this thread... Eeuuugh.

* Sqrt2 has no idea why people are suddenly talking in the third person.

Anyway, I like the idea of a Nintendo Rock Band, but I wouldn't buy it (seeing as the full guitar/drums set costs a ton of money, not to mention that it isn't really my type of game).

Forest Guy · « **Reply #13 on:** July 24, 2009, 10:17:48 PM »

I guess you need to be into Rock Band to like the idea. If it isn't obvious, I play a ton of Rock Band, so it's all good.

No, I know about it. I just... nevermind. Long live salmon-colored font and asterixes!
