ok, must of us love mario and his incursions in different types of genres but the problem is that nintendo, fearing that their original and fun ideas might flop, put all their god damned mascots in all of them!! i mean, link in soul calibur?? mario in all the games? aren't they going to make a game that actually INTRODUCES a brand new character? that is the problem. that and the lack of third party games. btw, imma nintendo fan.
