Every character has their arch nemesis, the Moriarty to their Sherlock or the master to their Doctor and in the world of gaming no rivalry comes quite as historic as Super Mario and Bowser. We are not sure why the electricity of this dynamic is so dynamite, after all there is no historical connection between Italian plumbers and turtle based dragons, but then again neither is there one between bats and clowns. Sometimes these things just work.
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 would love for a new mario to come out and have a different bad guy for that game.
I hope bowser never takes a break. I'd hate a new cliche or kitsch character to take any great villains place ;)
The Master, not the master. Hes too cunning of a villain to have his name misspelled. Just saying.
yes a wii u return to subcon and a challenging game might be what nintendo needs to refresh mario
