Right, than finally does it. Any Nintendo fan accusing any company of milking a license gets an insta-ban for hypocrisy. Honestly, has a character ever been as whored out as Mario?


Theres a huge difference between

Ratchet 123 JAK 123 and the mario games Nintendo releases.

Mario appearing in different games let alone different genres has nothing to do with Milking.
 
While some Nintendo songs could be fun, I fear for the pad button setup. Sure, you could buy an official mat, but I'd rather not do that since I have a great PS2 one. And I doubt it will work perfectly with adapters.

If you're playing DDR with a pad, you MUST have double digital directions (D-pad+buttons). I don't see a way for that on the GC-pad.
 
I know I wont get this so it doesnt really matter to me either way, but the best thing about this type of news is listening to all the bitching that results from it. It's kinda like watching a bunch of whiny left-wingers pulling their hair out after some Republican-oriented news.

The game will sell a fuckload and Konami will benefit from it where they unfortunately didnt with MGS:TTS. What's wrong with that?
 
I can see Reggie at E3 now....

He will go on about the legacy of mario, his past his present and then the future

They will show a retrospective of mario

They will show Mario Baseball and Nba Street v3 and Mario Baseball
Then they will show Mario DDR and New Mario Bros. for DS

AND THEN.....

They will pull a showstopper and unveil MARIO 128

I'm calling it right now.

SCE already tried it but Piposaru can't touch Mario.
 
Less than 24 hours ago, I thought to myself, "It'd be pretty neat if they made an actual Mario dance game...kind of like those Randy Solem flash movies". This isn't quite that, but close enough. I suspect this'll be released around November in the U.S. Should be another good Christmas for the Cube :D

So everybody can realize what a whore Mario was become and throw up before SM128 is shown?

WHO CARES???
It's milking the character, not the licence.
What difference does it make?
[...]
They are all very different games to one another.
The name, the licence, the characters are popular and sell. What's wrong with that?

I think it's a good strategy for Nintendo to spice up otherwise generic genres. The games sell better and are more fun to play (e.g. using power ups in a tennis game or having Nintendo songs in Donkey Konga).
I consider the "Mario is doing xy" list not as mocking but more as an admiration how versatile the Mario franchise is. Some may argue that's the cause because the character is so generic - there's truth to that, but isn't this also the quality of Mickey Mouse? And just remember how many different jobs Donald Duck has taken because he needed money, it makes Mario's list look tiny. That's why I think the tag "Disney of videogames" is appropriate for Nintendo.
 
For the love of god!

I bet some people on this forum would eat the revolution up if every game had a Mario cameo in it!

With a name like “Do The Mario” you would think I would be defending that fat Italian crack whore!

P.S he was BUFF back in the NES/SNES days!

jesus. nintendo is a step ahead of parody. the really alarming thing, though, is that the last shot with the cliffs and the big snowballs looks better than anything in sunshine. :/
:lol That was actually one of my first thoughts when I saw that screen.

However, this game does look like fun. It's DDR that happens to have Mario, and probably a bunch of classic Nintendo tunes as well -- what's not to like?
 
Heh. I started the fire back up about the milking in the "Iwata on Revolution" thread, and now look what happens!

I enjoy DDR having 2 BNS pads, and I'm a pretty big Nintendo fan, but this is ridiculous. I'd feel incredibly silly playing this game.

You're playing DDR. To some people, you look ridiculous no matter what.

By the way, if either MS or Sony had such a marketable mascot that they could plug into games like Mario, they would do the EXACT SAME THING. Get over it. No one's making you buy the damned thing.

Gamecube owners have there hands tied, there are no alternatives.
 
oH CRAP I only just notice dhtis!

I am so sold without Mario even. Mario extras just makes it even better.

Good move Nintendo.

You're just a cry baby. Mario can do everything. Only limited by your imagination.
 
So fucking stupid. This gen Nintendo = Master of ports and Milking

Awesome, Mario can be the pilot in the Next rogue leader game!

He can also play Link in the next Zelda game!

They can also use him in RE!
 
This whoring can only signify Nintendo's admition that their harware end is near so they may aswell start to test out what it will be like in the not so distant future. Soon Sony, very soon..MWHAHAHAHA!!
 
The DDR games have been selling kinda crappy the last couple of years or so. I wonder if even Mario himself can save the series. And people will be forced to buy a dancepad for GC, perhaps Nintendo will come up with a cheap bundle.

The games they have put him in so far are clever. :D Getting people to play good games is not a bad thing. Many Nintendo fans need to be opened up to more games. This is a great idea. Kudos to who came up with it.

Probably they will (come up with a bundle, I mean). Usually when a peripheral is needed to play a first party Nintendo game, they aren't shy about throwing it in with the packaging at no extra cost/a minimal extra cost.
 
Mario is a pretty universal character. He's like, say Mickey Mouse. He can be made to work in a pretty wide variety of games, imo. There's nothing about him as a character or in terms of his design that suggests he's made for platforming and nothing else.

Link, for example, is a little more limited in the type of game he might be included in - but Mario is far more universal.

There are two potential difficulties imo. Quality of the game, which probably won't be an issue at all, and secondly this becoming a trend whereby publishers with any kind of leverage begin to demand access to Nintendo characters (i.e. "you let Konami use him!" etc. etc.)
 
I weep on the inside. I'm not exactly sure that going third party would be worse than this.


what's next? DANCE DANCE METROID?

I don't see the problem. People bitch monthly that Nintendo isn't doing anything to stir 3rd party sales. Now they are leveraging their strongest assests and people are still complaining. Frankly, I say more power to Nintendo because I doubt the Gamecube would've seen any more support from Konami without a move like this.

If this spurs DDR sales on the GC... I will.... do something.....

And I just made my huge rant thread about this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear Nintendo,

WHEN THE FUCK IS MARIO GOING TO PLATFORM AGAIN??
Didn't Nintendo just release a Mario Platformer less than 2 months ago? Didn't they show a new Mario platformer off just 8 months ago? Aren't the expected to show off another new Mario platformer in 4 months?
 
SOLD SOLD SOLD IMPORT AND DOMESTIC (assuming different song lists)

my gf will be pissed. she LOVES ddr and HATES mario :lol
 
How can Nbots be so apologetic about Mario milking, then go around and make posts complaining about how other companies do the same thing?

edited for a little clarity

I don't know, but this isn't a port or a rehash...and even if it was, it's hardly Nintendo's doing. Same with the basketball game featuring Nintendo characters. Same with Mario baseball. Etc., etc.
 
thorns said:
I'm so fucking sick of mario & his friends. Enough already nintendo!

So then why don't people like you stop looking and posting in this thread.

I can't understand how some of you constantly bitch about how you CANNNOT STAND Mario and Nintendo but your always in the Nintendo and Mario threads. Its like you people secretly like Nintendo and Mario but you try to act cool by saying your sick of them. If your really sick of something you don't talk and post about it 24/7. Also I don't get why people are saying when is he going to platform again when they are suppose to be releasing a platforming Mario THIS YEAR. He can do more than one game at time folks.

Because like somebody said, it's the whoring of a character, not of a franchise.
If Nintendo was letting Namco handle a mario platforming, then I can see how complaints would be valid.

It still sucks, just not as bad as it could suck.

Who are you talking about? I haven't seen anyone do that.
 
Me neither.

I think a lot of Nintendo fans would no better given how many games Mario has been in alone. But even then, any gamer is within their rights to bemoan games that come out EVERY YEAR, and merely bring an engine upto snuff and update a roster.

If I actually liked DDR I'd probably be pretty pissed with this coming out while there hasn't been a new arcade DDR for the last year+.

I know I am. I wish Konami would stop dicking around. Oh well, there's always In The Groove, I guess. Its at my local arcade now and its not as bad as I thought it would be.
