For F*cks sake, Nintendo !

Maybe I'm just in a shitty mood but when will Nintendo get a clue ? I just saw a add on TV for wait for it.............................. Game Cube Dance Dance Revolution........................................ ....................with.......................... .................................................. ...that's right, FUCKING MARIO !!!! :no :-(

Not only is DDR such an out dated game in Japan that nobody really gives a shit about but why the fuck destroy a perfectly good game by filling it with bloody Mario and Mario tunes ???? Nintendo may have a bit of cred with a normal DDR game but stick Mario in it and they lose my respect all together. I hate Mario !

In all likely hood it went something like this

Nintendo: "hey konami, we'd like you to make some bemani games for the cube"
Konami: "how about... NO"
Nintendo: "we'll let you put mario in it, so that people will buy it! It worked for EA and that basketball crap, and for Namco with link in SC2"
Konami: *rolls eyes* "fine we'll make a DDR with that fat ass plumber of yours"
Nintendo: "Isn't DDR somewhat dated"
Konami: "LOOK!!! Do you want the bemani or not!!"
Nintendo: "ok we're sorry..."

Maybe not word for word, but ya know, haha

Thanks :D haha. That was my attempt at a funny, it would apear i passed :D. Anyways, in all likelyhood it was a case of Konami only agreeing to do it with a Mario endorsement.

It's well known that Nintendo games sell better than 3rd party games on Nintendo Systems.. and by slapping Mario on 3rd party games it gives the games that extra push... It's not a great way of doing things as it just serves to dilute Mario and his image, which is bad enough, what with him being a fat plumber with a cheesy pornstar moustache (you have to make a living somehow between games i guess). In some respects you have to give Nintendo probs for trying to help out 3rd party sales, and thus grab new games for its userbase.. on the other hand it would be better if they took the Sony and MS approach of bags off money instead of slapping Mario's smug face on everything...

And thus, i chime in with Yakumo "FOR F*CKS SAKE, NINTENDO!"

It's really rather simple. If you dont like mario in games then dont buy them. Nintendo dont hold you at gunpoint.

DDR is indeed a old series now that konami have milked to death.

Id rather have mario any day than the other good old standby that konami use when making nintendo versions DISNEY arrrrrrrgh.

Then again im in a minority here as these boards are very anti nintendo. But capcom are far worse, the milking of the rockman & street fighter games can easily rival nintendo. And then theres sega with the sonic games, that poor hedgehog has been shoehorned into many many games.

[cahaz]

just give us a break with mario, will you?!
i don't want those ''insert mario face here'' anymore, if you want to do a soccer game, or anything, it's allright, but why do you have to put mario in it goddammit!? where's the time when you made games such as icehockey, Punchout, exitebike and all? there was no mario, and it was still good! (ok, mario made a cameo in punchout, but that's all).

And yes, i do love Mario, i do love his adventures, i do love mario rpg/paper mario and mario kart too, and i do have mario tennis, but i'm just tired that mario do all sort of things with is
funny friends.

...I agree, after all Luigi is a far better dancer :)

[Johnny]

Don't know if you will agree with me, but the way things are going, expect a Mario FPS and a Mario Football soon...

:D

[cahaz]

Mario football wouldn't even be surprizing. i doubt mario wil have is own fps game though.

There is a Mario Soccer game coming, so I guess the FPS can't be far behind.

Now, seriously, this is something I have been sayng for a while, but everyone tell me to get lost: Nintendo needs to stop puting Mario and company in every game they do. It's not that those games are bad (actually, they are good) but by placing Mario in everything all they are doing is aiming for the Nintendo fanboy instead of the casual gamer or, I don't know, gamers used to sports games with real teams and players.

Placing Nintendo characters on third party games should not be the solution for low sales of third party software, but unfortunatley I guess it does work.

Don't put it past Nintendo. He could "Ride" Yoshi who would spit out fire balls sort of like the Super Scope game on the SFC.

Aparently the next mario hasnt yet got a set path and story to it. So it could end up being a gun instead of the water gun thinggy.

[cahaz]

i think the same thing.

[g_sepp]

why do they even try..

[Mr. Casual]

A Mario FPS wouldnt have guns. They would have "melee" weapons like the super hammer, Shooting weapons like the fireball flower, and other things. Doubt it would work real good, though.
