http://www.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/article.php?id=17626Shigeru Miyamoto has spoken of the dangers of over-exposing Mario. During the GameCube era, Mario starred in a succession of sports, party and even dancing games but it seems lessons have been learnt.
"Mario is a very important character in the Nintendo world and so we want him to appear in our titles," said Miyamoto in an interview on the UK Nintendo Channel
"Indeed there are a lot of games to which he is well-suited. However if he appears in too many games then they will lose their uniqueness, and so with that we are very strict when choosing which games to have Mario feature in."
So hopefully that means Mario won't star in a dancing game again.
I think it's a little too late for that. Hasn't Mario appeared in more games than any other character?
Let's see we have
New Super Mario Bros Wii
Smash Bros
New super mario bros
Galaxy one & two
Mario party 8
Mario Tennis NPC
Mario Strikers
Mario Baseball
Mario and Sonic in the Olympics and Mario and Sonic in the Winter Olympics
I wonder how many DS games Mario has starred in?
Do you believe Mario shouldn't be in too many games?
