I'm not worried. . . yet.  If there comes a point where we've got 4+ systems competing (i.e one of the upcoming systems doesn't "go Jaguar"), then I'm gonna be a little nervous. . .

I look at it like this, Super Mario Kart has the better single-player, and Mario Kart 64 has the better multiplayer.

But I do have one big problem with Super Mario Kart. . . no Wario.

As for Mario Kart Advance, I want more everything!  More levels, characters, weapons, modes, etc., etc. I've always loved the Mario Kart games, and I'm hoping Mario Kart Advance is the best yet.  It'd be great if Nintendo took SMK's best aspects and MK64's best aspects and put them into one game. . .

As long as Waluigi isn't in it, I'll probably like it :)

I don't think its really fair to compare the 2d Mario adventures to his 3d escapades. . . Why?  He's only had one adventure in 3d.  Lets face it, Nintendo hasn't sent Mario on a heck of a lot of adventures in recent years, so they haven't really had much time to perfect their 3d "Marioing."

But maybe there's a good reason for this. . . i.e. the glut of uninspired 3d "collect-all-the-thingies-in-a-level-to-open-up-a-new-level-so-you-can-collect-more-thingies" games that have been churned out of development houses. . .

Here's hopin' Paper Mario is **** good! :) (and having read some of the scores Japanese game mags have given it, it looks like it just might be pretty good :)

Mega 2, if you'd just look past the cute graphics in Yoshi's Island, you'd see one of the best sidescrollers out there.

Or are you just mad Nintendo finally explained why Bowser is so hell-bent on killing the Mario Bros. and Yoshi?

Yes, Yoshi's Story was more or less the most disappointing game I've ever played.  Not necessarily bad, just painfully mediocre.  Especially since it was supposed to be a follow-up to Yoshi's Island, one of my all-time favorites.  I have lost all respect for that particular group of lizards.

I don't know about reintroducing more classic Mario titles though, I'm sure Nintendo would get plenty harassed if they over did it.  And the real question here is, could they make money off 'em?  I don't know about you guys, but my SNES is still in heavy use and I already have Mario All-Stars, Mario World and Mario World2 (aka Yoshi's Island), so a compilation with spruced up aesthetics really wouldn't mean much to me. . .   Though I have to admit, it would be cool to see the Koopa Kids in full 3D. . .

. . .while maintaing the near-perfect gameplay, of course.

Sorry about that Mega 2, that post wasn't directed specifically towards you, there were a couple comments from assorted people that really irritated me, so I responded to all of them at once with those two posts.

ps- I am NOT trying to start another Mario War.

One more thing. . .

Before you tell me all 3D games have no challenge, and that 2D games are the pinnacle of challenging gameplay, actually go back and play the "Golden" games. If you're anything like me, you might realize they're not nearly as hard as they were when you were 6.  I was shocked when I began going back through Mario Bros. 3 (the best of the Bros. games, IMHO) and realized it wasn't nearly as hard as I had remembered. . .
