Top Five Ways Nintendo Ruined Mario

#5 Nintendo's overused "all-in-one" game token

We hope you love basketball, because so does Mario. In fact, he also enjoys baseball, tennis, kart racing, Mario Parties and golf, and we're 99 percent sure that Nintendo will add hockey and football to his bloated all-star sports resume someday. Look, we know he's the company's most recognizable mascot (Pikachu probably has something to say about that), but we could use a break from seeing his mustachioed, goofball mug on the cover of video games.

This is the reason why AOL shouldn't talk about games. This honestly is a joke. You're an idiot whoever wrote this.

"THIS IS SO RIGHT. take a break with the freaking Mario franchise. next thing we know we'll have titles like " Mario goes shopping!", or " Mario dusts his house!" i mean, seriously Nintendo, come out with some original freaking ideas." I'm sorry. Are you really going to quote "Decline of Video Gaming" and tell nintendo to come up with original ideas? wow dude you are lame. I do agree that mario may be overused *cough* (mario party) but overall the mario franchise has stood the test of time, is loved all around the world, and some guy living in his moms basement dissing mario because he grew up on a playstation isn't going to de-throne the king of gaming.

I got one thing to say I didn't even play the other games based on the Mario charactors. I was not even into them. The only one I played was Mario Kart and that wasn't that bad. But Nintendo should of kept making the Mario adventure games where you pick from Mario or Luigi to save the princess. They could bring back Bowzer or that other guy in Mario Bros 2 to keep being the main boss or even add a new one. They could have Luigi or Mario save their moms or kids. They don't need voice though thats for sure. I still live on the classic games. They are the true best. I hope nintendo reads this and stop making other games with mario charactors and keeps making the real adventure ones.

Seriously this guy is a total ass for saying this crap about mario. yes it has grown very different from what mario used to be but theres nothing wrong with him right now. HIS VOICE is fine you are just too much of an idiot to notice that nothings wrong with it. He looks fine he doesnt look as pudgy as he used to but he still looks great. I go with the guy below this comment YOU have nothin else to write about so you just write **** about somthing else get a freakin life seriously!
