The Game Cube will has the shops in the US. But unlike any of the other games consoles Nintendo have produced it will not have a Mario title in it’s line up.
Although it has Luigi’s mansion. It dose not have Mario. Which I think puts the Nintendo at a bit of a weak spot as all the die hard Mario fans will be put of buying the Gamecube and might by the X-box instead.
But you could say that any real die-hard fans would wait for their king of Consoles. As it stands the Opening games line up is damn good but still lacking the vital ingredient to make the Gamecube king of consoles.
What Nintendo need to also work on is remaking Mario a fair amount coz if there’s nothing new then no one is going to buy the games.
So I feel that Nintendo need to get Mario next adventure out pronto to keep people interested and the Italian plumbers of this world happy.
There is another thing that Nintendo has problem is lack of originality for example in the early days every Mario game was just the same a 2D bloke jumping on mushrooms. When the N64 came along Mario was transformed but apart from the amazing graphics it was still the same thing. Not that I have anything against Mario, it’s just do I really want to pay out £50 for a game I’ve played many times? So I say to Nintendo get put a Mario game that has loads of new stuff and get it out fast

I think the 3d graphics with 2d actual play of kirby was reasonably successful.
Not going to say too much for the merits of the game itself, but i think that's beside the point anyway.

As a sub game, or an little 'extra', the old style of mario could be quite nice as it is, but i really wouldn't pay much for it on it's own. Unless they did a mario all stars update, but that'd probably never happen...

Nintendo are always the leaders when it comes to innovation, expect more of the same during the Gamecubes life! Nintendo are always come up with brand new and original ideas, somthin which is very refreshing with all the sequels we get these days.

I think that they SHOULD keep the gameplay mechanics the same as the NES version as it was that classic fromula of jumping on enemies heads that made it a classic! and you should not mess with a classic formula, having said that it looks like Nintendo could be set up to destroy the Zelda formula (allthough I hope not!) so whats to say that they won't do the same for Mario?

I'm not saying that Mario is the Only game Nintendo should concentrate. But thats one of thier main selling points so making sure that the mario games have been improved. Will help Nintendo.

Mario 64 was completely different to all mario games before it. Mario Kark and Super Smash will be along to keep mario fans happy int he short term, with Mario sunshine in the long term. But to gain widespread appeal nintendo shouldnt concentrate on mario!
