>An internal memo leaked from a source close to Nintendo suggests the company is quietly preparing to drop the Mario intellectual property entirely, ending a multi-billion dollar franchise that has spanned over four decades.>According to the documents, the decision stems from internal assessments citing unspecified unmet criteria regarding the property's long-term strategic direction.>No official public statement has been made, and representatives for Nintendo declined to comment on the matter.
It's gonna be 9 years since Odyssey came out in 2 months
Its the the Luigi IP now. Year of Luigi is back.
Uh huh. And I got a bridge to sell you.
>>745433737I heard they’ll bring back Senran Kagura in place of Mario
>>745433996Kek
>>745433996I genuinely like that bear more than shillbot
>>745433737No fucking shot they do thisIt would be suicide
>>745433737big ( maring ) if true
>>745433737This is fake, my uncle told me they're announcing Big Maring in the September Direct
>>745433737holy shit shittendo is so fucking done
Make a fucking Mario game then. Dumb cunts.
>>745433996>a character so stressed by the world's problems that he can't sleepWhat in the left wing brainrot shit is that even
>>745433996they already have him...
>>745433737F O R G O T T E NORGOTTEN
Nintendo ordered a yakuza hit on Mario.
Didn't a movie literally just come out though
>>745435341Let it it go anon...
>>745438027>Calling Cringy Sloppio Bros. and Cringy Sloppio Galaxy "movies" when it's just Jew propaganda slop made for TikTok toddlers and troons and brainrotted faggots made by a Jew studio under the direction of the cryptojew Shuntaro Furukawa and his Jew paymasters who puppet Furukawa around and should all be put in fuckin' prison with no parole and no trial ever
>>745433737That is quite literally impossible theres no way anyone would be stupid enough to do that. This isnt like one guy signing his brainchild away, it would be every single high ranking employee deciding to shoot themselves in the foot
>>745433849>Odyssey for best controls and least worlds. Muh open world doh. 100 moons per world basically and people complain about sunshines blue coins. Music is bland modern nintendo music. Only good track was the fucking frog level and then botw tier atmosphere music for the remainder of the game.>Sunshine for most soul and hard to master controls with most consistent level themes. Most lag free controls I ever felt in a 3D mario game. Bluecoins for completionist fags who treat optional collectathon as requirement. Good fitting music for tropical theme.>Galaxy for best fitting space music and level variety. Soulful hub world and tons of levels with unique music.>Galaxy 2 was the start of nintendos 3D world phase of linear and uninspiring levels for the most part.>64 for retrofags who are used to the delayed janky controls on the N64 but still has soul. Graphics are dated and for retrofags. Texture and model packs can fix that though for those who care.post yfw worse open world games take double or triple the development time instead of just making a fun video game. crunch saves video games from having time for retards to make a game woke>Mario galaxy and sunshine were 5 years apart and are still my favorite 3d mario games. 3D world was lame and boring and made me wish I got an xbox 360 instead. That should've stayed on the 3ds.
>>745433737Miyamoto said in a press release that he plans to drop Mario [on his head] when asked why he said "(Laughs)" Nintendo has refused further comment at this time.
>>745439249SO LONG, PROBATION!
mario... he just lost
They finally cancelled Mario for being homophobic..
>>745433737I heard it's because of the recent allegations against Mario. I still can't believe what he did to that girl...
>>745433849Harriet my beloved...Never to show up in anything again...
>>745434085Luigi is a God among men
>>745433737Galaxy 2 and Bananza really DID break your guys' brains, huh
>>745433737>source: my dog.
>>745444243Galaxy 2 is a good game. Troonanza is not. Not sorry, I don't make the fucking rules.
>>745438414Nothing is too retarded for suits after pozz.
>>745444424Who said anything about quality? I'm just saying no one expected a 3D Mario game to get a direct sequel before Galaxy 2, and now it's expected, and then Bananza happened instead of Odyssey 2
>>745433996If that represents the new vibe, I’m into it. Obviously not nearly mascot tier though.
It's time for a new wario game
Finally it's Luigi time to shine!
>>745433737I know this is a bait thread, but they unironically should do, or at least pull back. Nintendo wants to be an IP company, but all of their IPs basically only appeal to millennials in their 40s that grew up on consoles. Mario is basically a game your parents played and that is always going to make it lame. The only IP they have that seems to retain some fan base is Zelda and Pokemon. Look at Disney, a company Nintendo is often compared to. They have Mickey all over the branding, but when it comes to making new movies, they aren't churching out a fuck ton of Mickey Mouse movies. If Nintendo ran Disney, you'd get Mickey comedy, Mickey romance, Mickey murder mystery ect ect. Disney makes new movies. Nintendo also needs to make some new fucking games. Calm down on the Mario spin offs no one buys. Make a new character that is BETTER than Mario. Then after a while, make a character that is BETTER than that character. This is how you stay relevant. Otherwise, Switch 2 will be their last hurrah as they struggle to maintain a modicum of its success.
>Mario 1996>"So long gay Bowser">becomes the shining star of the company, get dozens of games made, hundreds of toys, everyone knows Mario>Mario 2026>"Get the fuck out of here you reptilian sodomite!">instantly lose his job, become blacklisted everywhere, Nintendo erase all history of him and pretend they don't even know who he is, Miyamoto look the other way and crosses the road when he sees Mario across the streetNintendo has gone woke
>>745433737Calm down, dumb schizo.
>>745433737OH MY GOD I'M SHORTING MY NINTENDO STOCV RIGHT NOW.
I got level 100 in Brothership yesterday and now I want to kill myself.
>>745434478No worries anon its fake.Only time it would happen is if Nintendo sold themselves to the clueless Americans like Sony did. Kek
Don't worry I'm sure they're working on the Mario 64 Unreal Engine 5 demake as we speak
>>745438196Trve actually
>>745433996TDMchads win again
>>745433996Astro Bot is only for PlayStation. Nemu is meant to be for Sony as a whole.
>>745433737Palworld won
>Sony throws Astrosturf under the bus. >Post the dumbest fanfiction to cope. Why not just take a walk around a park?
>>745433996Bear is cute but I don't see how a depressed bear who is depressed about the state of world is a good mascot for video games
What kind of schizo derangement would cause someone to unironically post this made up garbage and acting like its serious news?
>>745448392I know it's fake and gay but like I said they won't do this ever because it would be brand suicide maybe potentially worse than Xbox going multiplatform
>>745450439It's real though
