The critisism is still fair, regardless of how well the game turns out.
Tetris Attack is my favourite game of all time, but it's still Panel de Pon. The fear is that these startlingly original/awesome games lose their claim to fame as an original idea when they get reskinned like this. (I am assuming, of course, that Mario Smash Football is that Sega Soccer Stars game [or whatever it was called], but part 2. And I bet I'm bloody wrong.). |

Innovation in gameplay is more important than innovation in licence (game universe or whatever it's called), at least according to Warren Spector. And me, I guess.
Althought this may not qualify as innovative, but at least it's not a saturated genre...

Well, when it comes to Nintendo IPs, it's a game of two halves. Nintendo are usually right on the ball when it comes to making new games from old IPs, but then again, isn't it time they started thinking outside of the box? After all, I'm as sick as a parrot of all these Mario spinoffs.

Couldn't agree more. And the IP is going help the game sell. But then you've got to wonder, are people mainly applauding the innovation, or the ip? |

Well if it was a fun silly football game without mario, it'd be lost completely and no-one would even give it a second look.
The fact that it has mario has got enough of you talking about it... Even if you're slagging off mario.. Which in turn gives it market awareness, and in turn is a good marketting ploy. Those of you who dont understand this could do with doing a "marketting for dummies" course. For example, I hate those kfc singing adverts, i argue with everyone i know saying they're rubbish. But the fact is im TALKING about the kfc advert and giving kfc more brand awareness. See? |

"oh wait never mind, it's a mario game so naturally it will sell no matter how crap it may be"
/tries to think of the last crap mario game Well, maybe the last couple of Mario Party games, but they're the exception, not the norm. My friends and I enjoy Mario Tennis and Mario Party 5 on a regular basis. Maybe you're just heartless, you... you HEARTLESS PERSON |

I really hate to say this, but does anybody even care about the Gamecube now? Publishers and developers want nothing to do with system, releases are few and far between with the line up getting smaller and very little being announced, add to this retail support has all but withered away. Who knows if stores will even stock Gamecube by the time Zelda arrives.
