Back on topic, change is not good or bad per se. It´s about WHAT they change exactly. Some times there´s some things in games that could use some improvements, as in, it´s right there on everyone´s faces. And instead of fine tuning what needs a fix, they throw everything out of the window and...

My friends do know about Mario. It all depends on your area, and the people you meet which is basically luck factor. It can help, however, if your friends are more open minded. Some of my friends are gamers, but only two of them were Nintendo fans on the first place. The other one was a fantasy...

To me, what kills Mario Party 9 is the luck factor and the rubberbanding. Yeah, I have been playing Mario games all my life and it´s obvious ALL Mario games do this to some degree, but there´s a difference between putting some ways to catch-up and give newbies a chance, and outright punishing...

I know you weren´t directing the question towards me but I´d say HECK YES. Actual characters >>>>>>>alternate versions of existing characters/generics/random nonsense like queen bee.

I wouldn´t keep my hopes up, if anything because I´m used to Nintendo sticking to the most barebones formulas possible. In other words, I wouldn´t count on them keeping a sub series of a sub series of a sub series of a series (Mario & Luigi> Mario RPGs > Mario spinoffs > Mario series as a...

Well, yeah, I was just trying to prove a point and used your post as an example, New Super Mario. Didn´t mean to be offensive; I was just exaggerating. Of course anyone can have his/her own opinion.

I understand, but the "deffense force" is just as annoying because once a complain is said like thrice (and I mean by three completely different users) it´s automatically invalid and any mention of it results in the same kind of comments. Sure, we get that people like the game and can look past...

Because a new game offering less content than a previous entry SHOULDN´T BE. A smaller roster might be excusable if the game doesn´t also excise game modes, customisable options, gameplay variety and many other factors that might round a game depending on it´s genre. Now, it´s true we don´t...

I don´t want to get my hopes up because the "leaving actual characters out in favour of generics that are more recognizable to the general audience" is completely intentional on Nintendo´s side but still, in my opinion, characters that have been skipping Mario games lately (as in general, not...

I really like both Galaxy games, Super Paper Mario, NSMB Wii... er... let´s say all of them minus the first Mario & Sonic (merely a glorified Wii sports: it´s sequels are far better) DKC R and Strikers Charged (way too goddam hard). Can´t say anything about MP9 yet because I haven´t tried it.

On the piracy subject, I agree that it is wrong, but there are some instances in which there are no other options, most notably import only games. How are we supossed to play Mother 3 if Nintendo downright refuses to put it in a readable language? There is no other option here: just pirate and...

Exactly. I had my fears because she was suspiciously absent from a lot of recent games, but I think she´s safe now that she has been bought back for MK7. If anything, I´m more worried about Toadette who hasn´t showed up in a game since Mario Party DS and Super Sluggers (can´t remember which one...

I usually main Waluigi and Birdo whenever they´re playable because I tend to root for the underappreciated characters, but... they put in Kamek. Motherbleeping Kamek. That is awesome beyond belief. So yeah, I´ll probably main Kamek.

While I agree with you on the fact that obscure games sadly don´t count... smb2 sucking... pff...

I think you guys are going in circles. It´s much more simple. Adding new characters is good and refreshes things. Taking out characters is not good. Going by the "if it ain´t broken don´t fix it" motto, new games shoud offer more of the same, not LESS. A new game having a smaller roster than...
