What Are Some Dumb Things Nintendo Has Done?, Sorry OSM...

and it had Tiny Kong being... tiny, which would have probably stopped them re-making her for Diddy Kong Racing DS.

Yeah that was pretty stupid of them, but at the same time a headphones adapter thing isn't that hard to find. They sell "travel packs" here which have a link cable, case, headphones adapter and a few other things for £1.99 or something like that.

putting mario in non-platforming games

Whoops, I meant Virtual Boy.

Buh?!

Super Mario Strikers, Yoshi's Safari, Mario Tennis, Dr. Mario, Mario Kart, and Mario Party kick ass.

Mario Teaches Typing, Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up, Mario's Early Years, Mario's Time Machine, and Hotel Mario have brought us years of hilarity.

I really hope you don't hate Game and Watch Gallery's updated Mario themed games, because that's just zany.

Super Mario RPG was classic for a lot of people, and Paper Mario is a solid game as well. Then there's the excellent Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga games. I'd be sad if none of these existed.

Mario Golf? I guess I could leave that one behind. The GBC/GBA RPGs were fulfilling for some people but I've never bothered with either.

Superstar Baseball? I thought that was pretty funny in multiplayer, but I could see someone without other players hating the game vehemently.

Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix is the best DDR game I can remember playing in a long while. Not only are the backgrounds fully three-dimensional and intriguing (although some are fairly static), but you got some interesting remixes of Mario music along with some freaky mini-games to play on a DDR pad.

NBA Street V3? That game can burn in hell. It's horrible, NBA Street V2 is much better.

The DK'94 "series" is platforming, but I bring it up since it eventually spawned Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis. A portable Lemmings game with level editor features that can be used online is pretty impressive, and it's one of my favorite DS titles hands down.

I'm sure I've missed some titles or drawn connections to games that aren't necessarily too relevant to Mario, but your description was pretty vague. What you may not of realize is that you were opposing some quality, or at least really entertaining, titles.

Also, did anyone mention the original GBA's "stunning" display? That was pretty frustrating.

?

No sufficient lighting, the colors almost appeared darker than the GBC (might of been because they weren't as simple).

Don't have any PMs.

Ok on a serious note, Wii import protection or whatever. Not sure if it was their decision or whatever though.

Are you the kind of person who doesn't think before they speak?

Nintendo has nothing whatsoever with OoT2D. It's a fan-created game, you spaz.

Who do you think made the fan-team stop the game?
You're the one who didn't think before speaking

The two above posts are the best thing i've seen all year.

Dumping Sony in a brief partnership, leading to the genesis of the PlayStation.

making mario dance dance revolution and mario basketball 3 on 3

-Relinquish Rare to Microsoft
-Thought it was necessary to put out at least one Mario Party a year (especially after the 4th installment)
-Not release Mother 3 outside of Japan

- Game Boy Micro
- Rare to Microsoft
- Region lock
-

They didn't really stop it for GOOD, though...as a matter of fact from what I hear it's going to be released pretty soon

Rushed End? Hell, doesn't he speak more in the TP ending than the ending in OOT?

I don't think Nintendo made sure to keep the DK franchise specifically for making games. I think it was more because Donkey Kong and Diddy are very recognizable as Nintendo characters, and Donkey Kong is really only ever used anymore as a character in multiplayer games.

The ONLY problem I have with Rare being with Microsoft, is that Goldeneye can't be available on the Virtual Console, from what I understand. Other than that... I don't care very much. If I want to play Conker I'll play it on my 64
