Every Mario cookie I have eaten, and indeed every Mario cake (which is the 3D version) has been unique, enjoyable, and something I would recommend to my gaming friends.

I made a new recipe, it involves replacing the dough and chocolate chips with feces.

But hey at least its not the same-old-same-old recipe.

im not gonna lie and say that wasnt different, but of course nintendo went back to the boring cookie cutter afterwards because heaven forbid they do something different. see also: US/EU super mario bros 2

There are tons of "new formula" Mario games they are just called something else instead of being "Super Mario 52" or whatever.

- A few Tetris-like games
- Actual Tetris
- A turn-based RPG series
- A few board game series (I think there might be more of these than actual mario games, counting various iterations)
- Various sports, especially golf
- A breakout-like game
- A ghostbusting game (with Luigi)
- An isometric platformer (with Toad)
- Probably a ton of other poo poo I can't think of right now

Nintendo is pretty much single-handedly responsible for Tetris being a thing at all. Without Nintendo, Tetris would have gone the way of Links [name of CPU series here] of being a thing you play on your PC along with Solitaire and Minesweeper when you think your boss isn't looking.

And you take that back about Super Mario RPG! :mad:

Yeah, it's true. You can probably count them on one hand, and the truly innovative ones are often very clunky, because they're still kind of learning how to do new stuff.

I really don't like EA or Ubisoft, but I prefer to talk about the games that I like and plan to enjoy and am excited about, with maybe an occasional joke about how bad the conference is overall or laugh about a company's big flubs, like the guy they had presenting Hyrule Warriors last year who said "You can taste the epic" and died several times playing the easy mode of a Musou game.

Fun uncle, Bethesda, shows up with his patented bourbon balls, which are always a little weird-shaped and he does the same thing every year, always bringing them to the party a bit late because he took too long to make make them, but gently caress it, they taste decent and eating a couple will get you pretty buzzed.

The set they did/are doing with locations from around the world made me almost consider buying one, but the lesson I learned from Liberation's potentially cool concept being executed terribly was too strong. Honestly if they dispensed with the rest of the game and just made it Run Around on Cool Architecture Simulator like Mirror's Edge I'd be more interested.

Where the gently caress is Mirror's Edge give me Mirror's Edge.
