Nyah, I go outside and get a breath of fresh life once in a while. It keeps me sane. If I lived Mario 24/7 (which I would if I wasn't careful) then I'd start doing super jumps and attempting to shoot fireballs from my palms. Yahoo!

Why don't you argue that the reason we're not getting any Metroid games is because Mario is getting in the way!
Nintendo has plenty of time to develop for all their various characters, but they don't... why? Because they need ideas, concepts, and so forth.

It's not right to blame Pokémon and Zelda for the lack of Mario games... because there have been more N64 Mario games than any other game series... There have been 2 Zelda games for the N64, a couple of Pokémon games that weren't even directly made by Nintendo, and loads and loads of Mario games.

Are you sure you didn't just impatiently hit the "Post New Topic" button several times? That happened to me a while ago.

Ah come on... Pokémon isn't Nintendo's only game series. When Mario was all the rage back in the early 90's, they still made Zelda games and Metroid games, etc.

Just because Pokémon is big at the moment doesn't mean Nintendo is going to ditch every other game series... because what happens then? What happens when Pokémon is no longer "the biggest thing"? Nintendo would fall down with nothing to catch them.

Pokémon is a series of excellent games, but the merchandise and stuff is a fad at the moment. Wait for it to pass, and until then just enjoy all of Nintendo's excellent game titles in all their glory.

And yes, whenever I see a screenshot for a new Mario game I nearly wet myself too... ^_^ Mario Kart Advance did it, these new pictures do it, and ever shot of Paper Mario I've seen so far does it. Yahoo!

I'm not really into sports, and rarely into Sports games (because they're often made with no thought in order to sell a title such as NBA, or a particular sport-player).

But these Mario sport titles are really easy to get into and play. I loved Mario Golf, and its the only Golf game I've ever liked (even the older Mario-related golf games were a bit yuk!)

But Mario Kart is fun, not as fun as real go-karting, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be made. It doesn't do anything for the storyline...

Sport titles have to be very well executed in order to be any good, and Camelot are doing it really well so far. And the bonus is that my fave Ninty character is in it ^_^

Dude, post once and not three times >_<

I think that SMB3 was too short, the levels were measly and easy, and even though it expanded on the storyline, it was silly.

The Princess can be captured all she wants, but I like to see the Mario world expanding, I like to see new characters and lands and explanations of things.

I -don't- want Nintendo to screw up a potentially excellent game because they are worried no-one will buy it if the Princess gets kidnapped. Jeez, does it really matter? Nintendo makes excellent games, why does it matter who gets saved at the end.

As for Final Fantasy style plots, they're good to a certain degree, but I get sick of over-complexities. It's not needed, frankly.

#1. The Minus World was a glitch. Screwed up scrolling code and all that sort of stuff. It was removed as were all the other well-known glitches.

#2. Super Mario World was included in a re-release cart of Super Mario All-Stars. If you go to TMK's game page you'll see "Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World" as a separate game.

Not really rumours are they...

I don't know what he showed you, but Missile Bills were only introduced in SMB3 and they travel at the same speed but also turn around.

The Fast Bullet Bill world you saw was probably an old screwed up memory, because it never happened. Nyah!

I'd say "yes".
There are probably a few exceptions, but on the whole, yes, the non-canon games make the Mario universe a richer and fuller world.

But some just confuse the matter... *brain strains at the Baby-Mario-stood-alongside-Mario problem*

Yeah, Channel 4 (terrestrial UK) showed it a couple of years ago at 6:00am and I set my alarm every week and taped it. Yahoo!
Still got them as well ^_^

I like games that I like... the fact that 80% of them are Nintendo-exclusive is purely coincidental ^_^
But yes, I often laugh at Sonic and his hip lingo and cacky games. And I scoff at Dreamcast... I don't trust Sega to make games I like at all...
