Mario On Xbox?

**MrSlam** · 05-01-2003

I was on the teamxbox forums and ran across this article from IGN about the best games in 2004. At the end of the article they had this to say about their next instalment on this issue, released tommorrow:

"We'll have our final installment tomorrow as we conclude our look into the future of Xbox. What tasty bits will be revealed? Here's a hint: He's an Italian plumber with a thing for red overalls."

Does it mean Mario is coming to xbox? Xbox and Nintendo merger? Xbox buying Nintendo? This is really exciting.

No way will Mario ever make his way to the green in the near future. They probably just wanted to make ppl think the same thing you did. And thats why IGN sucks

Yeah that is horse crap that would never happen. Mario is too imature to be on a real gaming machine other than soft touchy nintendo gamecube which is against violence. I woulnd never buy it mario represents nintendo not microsoft!

**Liquid Gears** · 05-02-2003

If that would be true, I'd be happy. Only because Nintendo owns CAPCOM

Whoo another idiot to add to the basket!

Anyway guys, Mario wears blue overalls.

Mario is coming...ooh yeah ! Really good thing to hear ! I am waiting too long for it and....ahhh, too hard to lie these days !!

Unless Nintendo is dropping out of the console race and relegating themselves to being a third-party developer, this will never happen. In a way, it's already been proven:

When Microsoft bought Rare, Rare brought with them all the licenses to the games they developed for Nintendo, with one noteable exception: Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong is a Nintendo trademark, belonging exclusively to Nintendo. Rare were not allowed to take it with them. So what was the first game to feature Mario? DONKEY KONG!! Remember the old arcade game? In that game, you were Mario, out to rescue that woman trapped in a cage by Donkey Kong. The two trademarks are intertwined, and Nintendo couldn't get rid of Mario without also getting rid of DK.

Of course, new developments could be the "tasty bits" that are referred to in that article. Perhaps Nintendo has entered into some sort of profit-sharing plan to distribute a Mario game on Xbox, but why would they treat one of their flagship titles so callously? As long as Nintendo is third in the console race, they're going to hold on to whatever they can in order to sell Gamecubes. Letting Mario go to another console would be commercial suicide.

You're probably right... maybe they're only third here in the US. Video game news isn't my forte.
