Awesome review, but going over your reviews of the previous Mario games (and the Pokemon reference at the beginning) makes me wonder when enough is enough. They've dragged Mario through the mud covered forest and back just to show how much he can handle but there is a point that Nintendo needs to kill a series before it's completely bare and raw and there is nothing left to cover the dang series except to use the shit and leaves around to cover itself. I am still disturbed by Nintendo's remakes of the old Pokemon games and their current project of the fifth Generation, Black and White! WTF? I am still actually a fan of the series, but when you make the equivilant of God and aliens, I am not sure where else you can go from there. Despite its main series being a non-consule platform, when those games come out, I would love to see if you review of it and the whole Pokemon series in general in one go.
