I just remembered something. Do you guys remember that trailer or clip that showcased Donkey Kong riding a rhino through the forest? The game was going to be like Mario Kart except with animals and such.

Maybe they should bring that idea back?


Donkey Kong racing? it was being developed by Rare was it not? I didn't think it looked all that good, but it's got a screenshot on the back of my GC box along side a Kameo one!

oh god.. that movie.. it just plain sucks. funny you should mention it, however, as it was on some movie channel last night (saturday late night/sunday morning). Some buddies and I tried to watch it after we got home from the bar and I was the only one to make it to the end.

fun fact: Fled was filmed in Atlanta, and both my neighbor and my current girlfriend are extras in the last scene (where everyone is walking out of the helicopter).

Awesome coincidence. i'll drink to that
I'll shut up now...

Waluigi's awesome! He should have his own game.

No, wait, you know what would be great? A Nintendo baddies game. Imagine a game that stars Bowser, Wario, Waluigi, Wart, and Cranky Kong. And your goal is to steal the princess and rob the mushroom kingdom blind.

Wario & Waluigi RPG would be hilarious!

Don't just make a W&W RPG, in Mario and Luigi 3 make half of it those two and half of it the bad guys.

Donkey Kong (with a more Disney style design) can help bring older gamers back to the Mario games.

You don't want the characters to be too different.  There must be a balance so that multiple people can play the game at once like Mario Kart using different characters; maybe even Bowser.  You can do it in Mario Kart, why not the next Mario Bros on Revolution?


Nemo. Did you win the PGC dream game contest? What you mean to say you didn't? In fact I have it on good word that your entry came LAST. So shut up and stop embarrassing yourself with these pathetic ideas.




If you have nothing constructive to add to the argument then don't post anything.  

And if a post begun with the words Luigi could ride a baboon with a colorful rear end causes you to blow a gasket perhaps you need to lighten up and stop taking video games so seriously.

I'd love to see a Mario and Luigi cooperative platformer...

Whatever it is, it needs to make use of the controller.  I think Jungle Beat could be a great killer app, it just needs about twice as many levels to appease critics.  Maybe it could use a dual-remote drumming setup, although that would mean Nintendo needs to include the second controller with the game or the system.  For that matter Nintendo could probably think up some more creative way of using the remote to play the game, while still making it physical like Jungle Beat was.

I think a new Mario platformer could do just fine too, though.  While there have been hints that Nintendo is having trouble finding a direction for Mario 128, it's pretty late in the game to be starting up a brand-new title to act as the "killer app".  Ideally the real killer app is already well into development.
That's my opinion, not yours.
