Well, if Typhus played the waterball game, why not let Cloud play tennis?

You're all acting like the Mario Tennis, Golf, Kart... are rediculous, but they're great. Wouldn't have been the same without Mario.

See Mario as Mickey Mouse, it doesn't matter where they star in, it's just a character.

Blitz ball is a mini game inside the game, it's not a seperate game.

And........ no..... Mickey Mouse has disappeared, you basically see him in old cartoons, or in Disney World. Disney cartoons these days are new and versatile, and do not contain old characters.

Nintendo fears change, when it comes to games. They see SHADOW the Hedgehog and don't want to venture into that territory. So they keep Maio in almost everything they do. It's almost as if they are overdoing the whole mascot thing.

I can compare Nintendo to Nickelback.... cookie cutter...

I have respect for Nintendo, but like Nickelback, they choose a sound that works and stick with it for a long time. (How You Remind Me and Someday... same song maybe?)

I didn't touch Mario tennis simply because it's "Mario" tennis. Yes, it's biased, but it lost a sale, right? I'm sure the game mechanics are good. Mario Party games are fun. But, I don't play Mario for the mario characters, I play for the gameplay. Nintendo has plenty of good games, there are too many collaboration games, though. Too many familiar names.

Sequels are good, especially if the series is good (obviously).

I dunno, maybe I'm not being fair in that I haven't tried and tested every Mario game (that includes the wario stuff, luigi stuff. anything based on mario). And, they do produce some pretty good games. But the lack of character variety makes me turn my head before I can enjoy some pretty good gameplay.

Collaborations and sequels are great, but only in moderation. SSB was good. SSB(XX) will be redundant. Marvel vs Capcom was spectacular... MvC2 was somehow better (more characters). But, MvC was something original. There weren't too many games that had Marvel characters as fighters.


But, to reanswer your question... I do think it's ridiculous. Waluigi, Daisy, Toadette... it really reaches a line of acceptance, y'know? And it definately didn't notice that line when it passed it.
