Nintendo caused quite a stir with Mario a few months ago. Back in September, fans noticed that the character’s Japanese bio had been changed slightly.
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
Damn straight. Idk why they’d even consider getting rid of lore that has been present for the series since its inception in 1983.
About time, now if only we could get Pluto to be called a planet again!
As a plumber of 24 years, I was insulted that they changed his occupation. Plumbers can do anything! As made evident by Mario’s many talents. Tennis, golf, soccer, baseball, space exploration, princess saving, shit... partying. The man’s an inspiration to us lowly blue collar workers. We need a role model. Don’t rob us of that please.
Man, who is checking Marios bio everyday to see if it was changed.
First he’s a plumber, then he’s a porn star, now he’s a plumber again. Make up your mind Nintendo!
