Wasn't Peach and Samus all sorts of different hair colors before they settled on Blond? In the first NES game when Samus takes off her suit she was either a brunette or a redhead I believe. Nintendo may be making Zelda an Egyptian in response to criticism that all their female princesses are blondes.

It is a step closer to improving the diversity in their games, but really they could have also done that by making some new franchises instead of messing with existing ones.

I guess its a good move also because Zelda and Link look too much alike so it seems almost incestuous to think of them together in a romantic context. But originally it was Link who was the Brunette... then Link became a blond for whatever reason and from then on they both looking alike with their blond hair and pointy ears and whatnot.

I was referring to things designed as download titles. Download versions of retail games will of course exceed that.

But will you get your trophies if you buy them on Steam?  I thought not. :P:

I love how they did that.  Here everyone, buy this game on PS3 for $60 when everyone else who owns a PC or 360 can get it for $20.

But the question was about what the largest downloadable title was.  I'm pretty sure ME2 is it regardless of if it's a download only title or not. :)

But I think you're right that there hasn't been a title for DL only that exceeds 2GB.

It was Purple or Green.  Though I think she was Blonde for the Nintendo Power Comic for Super Metriod.  I need to dig all those out and read them.

Super Mario Galaxy....3!? Café!?

That's what CVG seems to think in the second part of their Pre-E3 rumor round up.

we've also heard another little whisper from our Ninty sources - that Super Mario 3DS won't be the only new Mario title to be shown off in Los Angeles. Could we be looking at a Super Mario Galaxy for the next, next generation?

Makes sense. New hardware = New Mario game. And what better way to show it off than something that follows up the beauty of Super Mario Galaxy only in HD this time.

A new Mario title can mean a lot of things. It doesn't necessarily mean its going to be a platformer... it could be some Mario Sports based game, for example; or it could be Mario Party; heck it could even be Mario Paint 2 which many of us have long been waiting for...

So there's lots of different things that could mean.

Instead of a Galaxy 3 or Universe or whatever the next iteration of the 3D franchise would be, I think a NSMBCafé would be a much better fit for E3 and the over all audience they are trying to reach.

Of all the Mario titles I hope to see, Super Mario Galaxy 3 is not one of them. Neither is another game in the New Super Mario Brothers style. As much as I like both games, two games in that vein are enough. If it's a platformer, I want to see something completely new.

That's the same concept as New Super Mario Brothers so I hope they don't go there, although it's still a little better.

I know it sounds crazy, but hear me out... maybe Nintendo could try, oh, I don't know... making a Mario game that isn't either a sequel to a recent game or remake of one from 20 years ago? Instead of Super Mario Galaxy 3 or NSMB2 or New Super Mario Bros. World, how about they make something completely different like Super Mario Oasis? Or Super Mario Safari? Or Super Mario Island?
