Mario Discussion

I see.

Yeah I heard that the Online Aspect in recent Games has been gotten better, when you drop off(because of Internet Connection Issues, Loss etc.) you can just join back in when the next Minigame starts.

I f#cking died & laughed for quite a while when I found out back then that the Super Mario Team was in a NBA Street Game for the Gamecube XD

Yeah, in the GameCube days Nintendo collaborated a bit with EA. They even had “Mac” from Super Punch-Out in a boxing game, with the SNES game as an unlockable.

They don’t seem to collaborate much anymore, especially after during the WiiU era former president of EA Sports Bob Summerwhil infamously bashed Nintendo and Nintendo fans saying they were “bad revenue for third-parties,” and “Nintendo users only buy Mario and Zelda.”
Needless to say many gamers felt insulted at those remarks.

(Both are actually untrue even back then if you look at monthly best seller lists on Nintendo systems and portables. Even on the eShop many best sellers are third party games even beating some first party ones.)

I understand criticizing Nintendo, but honestly bashing a potential customer base is kinda bad business.
I may be partial to Nintendo, but I do like more than Mario and Zelda.

@Beau Skunky
I heard about that(not in full Detail like you just did here), yeah that’s another Reason for why the Gamecube Era was definetly quite Enjoyable.

Hotel Mario for CDi is pure YTP Material Gold XD

Thoughts on Mario & Luigi Brothership? I just beat the game recently, I enjoyed it overall, but damn does it have its flaws. I think this might end up being one of the more divisive Mario RPGs in the series.

So basically it’s like every other recent “Mario and Luigi RPG” or “Paper Mario” game? Not bad, but has some flaws, and tedious moments.

They’ve all been divisive, except “Thousand Year Door,” “Superstar Saga,” and “Bowser’s Inside Story.”
