Mario Golf: World Tour announced for 3DS

@StaticPenguin @Stonecutters908 @alenth Do you honestly believe that the infusion of the characters are the only reason people buy these games? Its the game design, which is without fail super polished. Getting to see familiar characters only makes the great gameplay fun to look at. People who have actually played Nintendo games regularly know this.

@Stonecutters908 @StaticPenguin @alenth When did I say anything about a golf game? I simply said they don't need to make a new IP when they can rely on fans to keep buying the same game over and over again. Nintendo loves prostituting out their mascots to fans like you because they know they got your money already.

@alenth @Drkirk08 well it is where their made they dont go there they just never leave

@deathblow3 yet very few (or no one) make a big deal about it.

When (or if) company A, B and/or C do this type of things, it is quite acceptable among gamers (and sometimes media too), but as soon as Nintendo does it, then it is wrong.

Like I say before, this is a dangerous practice from Nintendo, but you have to think that if Mario makes them money, then the shareholders will keep asking for it and Nintendo will keep making those games... until Mario games stop selling according to their magic numbers.

There are tons of examples of games in Nintendo consoles that actually did not needed the Mario name in it (or its avatar); but probably they do this because out of fear that the game will not sell as well.

@hitman047m4 @jinzo9988 well one does ahm sega. sonic is on everything they do that e rated

@jinzo9988no offense towards you but I think there is a difference between lets say Mario and Luigi games, from NSMB games, from Paper Mario, from Mario Sports, from Mario puzzlers, etc etc etc.... if you know what I mean.

Yes, the Mario brand/name has become a bit of a "in your face", since it is plastered in a lot of games, but this is (sadly and dangerous) a Nintendo strategy to sell games.... any other video game company will try to do at least the same if they have a recognizable character/mascot.

@deathblow3 I know, I was trying to be correct with my response, since the person I was replying to was talking about Mario names.

@hitman047m4 @painpas i counted 3 and one a dlc for a mario game where did you get mario vs donkey kong? i read it is a remake of the wii donkey kong country for the 3ds

@painpas :S "the lineup Mario's name is on half or more of the game announcements."... trying to hard to troll there son? There were only 4 games announce on this direct with the Mario name attached to it...

Mario Golf, Mario & Luigi, NSMBU DLC and Mario vs Donkey Kong

if you watched the entire video again you could see that there were a lot more announcements for other games.

@painpas @Drkirk08 @jinzo9988 Nope. Games like COD is barely half of Mario's "age" and look how many of them were made. Yet, it receives praises though it lacks innovation majority of the time. Don't worry, more NEW IP's will be coming from Japan for Nintendo. If people (especially in U.S) would try to support more of them unlike them not doing so in the past (and there were tons), then less complaints MIGHT occur.
