And PSP's is GTA. Liberty City Stories is the 7th incarnation of the series, while this is Mario Kart's 5th (6th if include the arcade version few here will ever play). And could be argued that the original GTA, 2, and London 1969 don't count...but then again MK has been one to a system whereas we've had three GTAs in four years. And if your reason is that it's a racer and not because it's a sequel I guess Forza Motorsport and the Burnout series should also be ignored as "killer apps". *shrug*

EDIT: Argh. Four min late.

In my mind, a "killer app" should be a game that is associated with a system on first glance. Gran Tourismo is the only game that I can consider a system seller that is a racer. Xbox has its Halo, Sony has its GTA and Nintendo has Marioslut. Project Gotham? Meh.

My post was more aimed at Nintendo's continued whoring of their oldest franchises, but if you want to concentrate on the first half of my first sentence, go right ahead.

Oh, and BTW, the Cheeseburger Defeats Steak pic is classic. I think you may have a cult phenomenon in the works.

I'm right with you on Marioslut but MK's been around so long that I don't consider part of his whoring. If someone said one of his sports, party, dance, mahjong, etc. titles was a "killer app" (a term I hate) I would take your stance (unless it was friggin unbelievable). Nintendo knows what sells.

Hmm...of couse this might be an evil plot of the World Plumbing Council...
