Mario Ad Nauseum
Dance Dance Revolution? Fine with us. We have two pads and three DDR games, but we're not hardcore about it or anything.
Mario? Love Mario. We've stuck up for Mario for years when friends and colleagues mocked Nintendo's top-tier mascot. The two most recent game purchases around here were Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door and Mario Power Tennis.
But, Dance Dance Revolution with Mario? Fuck this shit. Nintendo, please stop pimping out your properties for half-assed versions of clearly superior PS2 games that came out years ago, okay? Are we really expected to cross-step to the Super Mario Bros underworld theme?
Aaaaaaahhh!!! So much hate. Mario has become Nintendo's two-dollar whore and his inclusion in a game has gone from something special and unique to a simple marketing tactic to shill a few more copies of a title that no one ultimately cares about.
