[QUOTE="bavelb, post: 11001, member: 358"] I won't say Mario will never happen. The industry as a whole is pretty scared for Nintendo's future after the last E3 where they had a terrible press conference, where they put in the launch lineup for WiiU and basically the first year of plans for it. Considering the WiiU is not more powerful than the current gen hardware, it's in a very weird spot as games coming out (apart from nintendo first party) from third parties will be ports from 360 and ps3 so people wanting those already have those consoles generally, and next year those 2 will get their successors and WiiU has to fully rely on its first party again (apart from gimmick features for the pad). For WiiU to succeed they had to have a few really big first party names come out THIS year (as next E3 and thereafter will be all about the new hardware for Sony and MS), which they didn't. I listen to a lot of podcasts regarding gaming and everyone was astounded by 2 things: Nintendo blowing their opportunity and Sony not doing a single thing for Vita which also turned me away from that platform as I was interested after allt he ps3/vita crossplatform funtionalty on a lot of downloadable games. Nintendo's hardware future is therefor in the balance, as the 3DS and WiiU shenanigans have blown away all the profit the DS and Wii gave them (according to analists) and this could mean that in future we might see the big N as a software house only and the Mario license might be more reaily available. (And I'm a big N-fanboy, with Zelda and Metroid as my favourite franchises). This isnt a hijack to discuss N's future but rather as a reason why I don't think Mario's license is or isn't an absolute no-go ever. I do think however it's highly unlikely. [/QUOTE]
