Revolution or Evolution?

I had better not be reading what is essentially an argument about whether it's okay for Mario to star in non-platforming games. Mario can be the star of every Goddamned game in existence as far as I care as long as the game is good. At the end of the day it doesn't matter who you're controlling in Grand Theft Mario, as long as the game itself is good.

Me, I don't plan to buy any of the next-gen consoles because it looks like all three companies have gone seriously awry. Sony and Microsoft are having this graphics pissing match, and Nintendo is banking on ridiculous gimmicks, and nobody comprehends that gameplay quality is what sells titles. Tetris sure didn't sell by dint of its awesome graphics. GTA3 wasn't a best seller because you kill hookers in it. And Halo wouldn't have sold for shit without Xbox Live.

Everyone is looking at entirely the wrong aspects of top selling games, anything to avoid having to put work into a game.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

BTW, I've heard there are something like 90 Megaman games. Is that true?

I count at least 41, which doesn't even include remakes or the alternate editions of Pokemon Megaman Battle Network. 42 if you think the spin-off Misadventures of Tron Bonne counts. And few of those are wierdass titles like 'Mario Tennis', so Capcom could easily teach Nintendo a thing or two about cracking the marrow from the bones of the dead horse.
