The New Super Mario Bros. series has received criticism for being conservative and unimaginative, this is exacerbated with the fact Mario is usually associated for being the opposite. A heavily reliance on nostalgia, same generic music or the over simplistic art style are the major contributors. New Super Mario Bros. U is the first game mii-gamer has played from the series, so these will be less of a problem. But since this is mii-gamer first time, I have high expectation that the fat Italian plumber will deliver an incredible game.
SEGA’s Second Division Manager, Osamu Ohashi, wants to surpass Mario by strengthening the Sonic IP.
Nah, Sonic is definitely iconic but it will never be at the level of Mario. Much less surpass it...
They can compete but Mario will always win. Mario and Sonic cater to different fans or fans who like both.
Sonic doesn't have to compete though. Both are their own thing, there's plenty of room for them both.
Thing is Sonic despite the bad games is still an icon as big as Mario, probably bigger cause he's seen more in media than Mario. More cartoons, more movies, more memes. So on that end he's good, they just gotta stop making bad games.
The Switch game, which was announced earlier this year, is a remake of a cult favorite GameCube title, and currently holds a placeholder release date of 2024. However, it’s possible that since the game is already beginning to arrive at rating boards, the release could come early in the year.
A series of new Special Edition Mario Bomber Jackets allow fans to show their dedication to the franchise when out and about.
The Jackets look good but are kids sizes only 😭
🤬 They don’t want my nostalgia money
i agree good score between an 8.5 and 9.0
