The new president of Nintendo wants to replace Mario and Poke'mon with new mascots!
I'm not sure if they are going to stop making games or what, but this can't be good.

Thanks alot Nintendo, you had your own unique thing going on and now you're trying to be like all the other companies.

I like Pokémon. The only reason that Pokémon is going to be replaced is because Ruby and Saphire are awful.

You people don't understand. What Satoru Iwata is trying to do is create new franchises with more of an "adult" theme, in order to compete with Playstation 2 and X-Box. They're still going to make Mario and Pokemon games, but they'll stop using Mario and Pokemon as "mascots". And why do you all hate Pokemon? It's not that bad.

Pokémon is not bad, it's awesome! XBOX's one and only reason for surviving is Halo. Come on people destroy Nintendo's new president's house!

Marioguy's right.  Nintendo has Mario, and Kirby, and Pokemon and the Legend of Zelda games.  Don't forget about Luigi and all the other characters.  Nintendo has more than enough characters to back them up.  Does Xbox even have a mascot yet?

 p.s.: When did this new president get elected anyway?  If he gets rid of Mario, I'm giving him an angry e-mail.

I always figured "Time to tip the scales" was Wario's everyday motto.

And plus, if they do stop making Mario games, think of the fans they'll lose.  If they quit making all the games that made them famous(Mario, Luigi, Pokemon, LOZ, and others.) will they lose their entire fanbase.

I think the second this guy gets elected, there will be an angry mob with guns and they'll shoot him! Ok, I'm just being hyperthetical. But still! They shouldn't make Nintendo's mascot go from Mario to the Doom character(if you get what I mean).
Miyamoto's going to have a fit-his character won't be mascot anymore!
I agree on sending an 'evil' email to this new guy if he changes mascots...

Geez. You don't understand how nice and considerate Shiggy is.
But anyway, this is pretty stupid. Mario's been Nintendo's mascot for 22 years!!! AUGH!
That was a joke.

Who's Shiggy? Shigeru Miyamoto? Just call him "Spagetti and Meatballs". The names sound the same and it's just easier to remember.

"Who's Shiggy? Shigeru Miyamoto?"
--Yes. Who else?

"Just call him "Spagetti and Meatballs"."
--That sounds retarded. Plus it takes longer to say/type. And it's actually spelled "spagHetti." :P

Spaghetti & Meatballs is retarded.
I think the mascot for XBox is the Master Chief (The guy you use in Halo)

Master Chief? I thought he was Master CHEF! *ba dum ching!* Anyway, I don't think Spaghetti and Meatballs will be too mad about Mario not being Nintendo's main mascot, because

A) For a business move, it's a pretty good idea. I mean, if you were a self-concious teenager who always acted "cool" in front of his "friends", would you want to buy a system with a cool-looking guy holding some kinda weapon as the mascot, or a system with a chubby, loveable short Italian guy wearing bright clothes and yells whenever you press the jump button? (Personally, I'd go with the Italian guy, but I'm very different from most of my peers.) And,

B) Spaghetti and Meatballs will most likely be the one who creates this new mascot, as he creates almost all of the new characters on Nintendo systems anyway.
