"Nintendo - too young, too unoriginal"

Has any1 had enough of Mario and co. featurin in nearly evry nintendo game and the amazin overkill of the pokemon series? Seems nintendo find it hard to come up with an original idea, and this is shown with the consoles, nintendo was always 2nd to release - snes afta masta system, N64 afta playstation, and now gamecube afta PS2 and Dreamcast, even the gameboys came afta the game gear. And now 4 the game cube in an attempt 2b original and fresh and 2 break the mould, the main launch game actually won't feature Mario 4 a change, it will feature.... Luigi! Which is really just a lanky Mario painted green, Come On! Don't get me wrong, I luv nintendo far more than sony etc, and mario is very dear 2 me?! butnintendo need 2 b more original and move away from the targetin just kids and come up with more interestin, excitin games

Wake me up when the Ninty's arrive... *snore*

Ooh, you're gonna get some stick for this. One other thing: SPAG!

rn't u l8 4 ur commun sense cheque?!

Well nintendo said that from now on the Mario Games will be aimed more at an older age group, but if that means sticking them in a mansion full ghosts to try and add a resident evil type effect then the age group hasn't been chaged that drastically.

I, too, am sick of Mario. In fact, I never liked him in the first place.

The Nintys are here Grix....wake up.

Anyways. The Snes was released after the Master System because it was a mcuh more powerful machine. 16 bit and not 8 bit. The same goes for the Playstation. It was released before the N64 because it wasn't as powerful (32 bit and not 64 bit) also Nintendo partly made the Playstation so I don't think you really know what you are on about.

what do ya mean more exciting games!
Zelda! That's an exciting game and anyone can play it it's a real good challenge/game!

Anyway I reckon the reason for Nintendo always hving a Mario game is because of people can relate to him cus he is well known. People will associate Mario with quality gaming and buy a console to play it. Then Ninty can start making games for everyone!

Yeah I agree with RawisAndy Mario is like nintendo's mascot of course they are going to want to use him as the main character in a lot of the games. Mario to Nintendo is like what Sonic was to Sega.

There's another thing we agree on, Turbo.
