It looks as though the fat lady hasn't sang for the Gamecube just yet. :)
However, I'm slightly confused as to how they'll implement a coherent (well, coherent as far as Mario games go) story line to explain the super crazy whacked out graphics and the apparant ability to spontaneously morph from a fat, Italian plumber to a dainty princess to the king of Koopas in the blink of an eye.
*shrugs*
Though I'm perfectly sure Nintendo has figured this all out and has a surprisingly deep, intricate story line that explains everything. Or not. I mean heck, the Paper Mario series in itself already defies logic... Who could've imagined Mario as a piece of
loose-leaf before the first Paper Mario for the N64 came along?
