It's possible. I seriously think this whole homebrew thing is on to something and may create a new market for modern titles being produced for old systems. There have been homebrews made for the 2600 and NES, pretty good ones in fact, and developers promote them however they can.

If they actually started selling new Genesis games in stores I would cream my pants.

Oh God that's great
I'm assuming you've never played a Mario game to begin with though.

Played some of the 2d games when I was a kid. Don't ask me which, can't remember. I've played all of the 3d Mario games. They are a bit of mindless fun I guess. Nothing mind-blowing. 6/10 type games.

To be honest though, I agree that Halo hasn't evolved enough. I really don't want to see another Halo game. The formula is dated now. Not as dated as Mario, and Halo was a better game to begin with, but still. Both franchises should be done away with ASAP imo.

There are two reasons i'm considering buying a PS3
1. It'll be my Blu-Ray player
2. Gran Turismo 5

I bought a Playstation One and a few games this summer for $10 and spent the rest of the summer just playing Gran Turismo (which I bot a used games store) and Gran Turismo 2 (which only had disk one and was apart of the games that came with the Playstation).

Gran Turismo 5 will also have the Top Gear Test Track as a course, and the Nurnburgring is in the game again, both of which are reasons I might buy the game.

Galaxy has brought a lot of new gameplay elements to the series. The graphics have never been prettier, and the soundtrack is just incredible, yeah it still looks like Mario game, and that's because it's a fucking Mario game.



The Mario series HAS evolved. Nobody is gonna get Mario 64 and Galaxy confused.

Also, if it wasn't for this "fossil" we wouldn't even be having this discussion. That "fossil" pulled the video game console industry out of the gutter.

Halo should die without a doubt, at least we can agree on that. There's enough shooters out there that it really won't be missed.

But Mario should stay, 3D platforming is a dying genre which isn't fair, it still has it's place and somebody needs to keep it going. Until Sonic gets his act together (though Sonic Colors actually looks awesome and I'm surprised by the positive reception it's getting) it's pretty much up to Mario to show everyone how to do it right.

"It's a Mario game" is no excuse for sticking to essentially the same tired, dull, unoriginal old formula. Mario needs to die a quick death. It would be good for Nintendo. They need to get accustomed to coming up with original ideas again... instead of shitting out another Mario/Zelda/Donkey Kong/whatever game and knowing that the rabid fanbase will lap it up even if it's no different from a string of other games in the series going back 20+ years.

Oh yeah, killing the franchise that's made your company the industry defining powerhouse it is today would totally not be a terrible disaster of an idea.

Your stupidity really knows no fucking boundries does it?

Seriously, if you can't think of anything new Galaxy added to the series you have no fucking hope. Motion sensing controls which didn't just feel tacked on at random moments but were vital to the gameplay throughout and worked splendidly.

Also I must be forgetting those levels in 64 and Sunshine that used gravity physics in insanely creative ways and allowed you to go from planet to planet and fly in outer space.

But no, that's totally not as cool as online gaming. Exploring colorful, imaginative and brilliantly designed platforming stages isn't fun at all, but shooting the same enemies over and over on the same generically laid out maps while some guy from Michigan calls me a nigger faggot is totally fun.

Fuck you and everything modern gaming stands for.

I'm not saying it would be good for them from a business perspective, I'm saying it would be good for them from an artistic perspective. I'm sure Nintendo are much more interested in the former though. They lost their artistic integrity when they decided they'd just remake the same games over and over again and hope that nobody notices.

The Wiimote has never worked "splendidly". It's always been an awkward, clunky gimmick. It does have potential though. Nintendo may yet perfect the design and release something that actually works sometime in the future. One can only hope.

I don't do online gaming. Sorry. It bores me.

This is like, painful trolling

Everything I love is being bashed to pieces

I'm just that good.

Galaxy is just a remake yeah. But Halo 3 isn't?

And the Wiimote works fine, a lot of third party developers aren't very good at making use of it though.

It's true that Nintendo really bank on their most profitable franchises and I would like to see them make make more games for their more neglected franchises like F Zero, Star Fox and Pikmin. But that doesn't mean they don't put care into the main games in their top franchises which is pretty much undebatable.

You realise how very few 2D franchises made a successful transition to 3D? Nintendo have done it over and over where others have failed, even Konami and Capcom failed at bringing some of their biggest franchises to three dimensions.

Mario 64 and Ocarina were revolutionary games, while their 3D successors haven't been as revolutionary (because that's like.... impossible) they implemented some very original ideas and are not something you could confuse with any other game in the series, or any other game period. If you don't think Nintendo took risks with Majora's Mask or The Wind Waker, or Mario Sunshine, then you be smoking some serious crack.

I'm not gonna lie to you, I seriously doubt you've even played most of the games you say stupid shit about.

Seriously he's way worse than Clamz ever was, he trashes everything.

I've reserved my trash talking to Halo and all the war themed FPS games, which I don't even think are bad per se, just hideously overrated, oversaturatd, uninspired and uninteresting.

My hatred for this guy is starting to reach serious preportions, he represents everything I hate about gamers today. Everything.

The problem is that you are making blanket statements about all war-themed FPS games. Halo, for example, has absolutely nothing in common with COD. It's vastly more original in it's gameplay and overall approach.
