I don't play Mario for the story either. Who does?

I did feel like what they did with Rosalina was pretty cool though, adding a character with a backstory (one I felt was brilliantly done at that) to a Mario game. At the same time I guess I can understand where some people would feel that was out of place. More often though it's just as simple as not caring for the character that much.

I still really like her backstory though. (and it gives me all the more reason to despise the existence of Baby Rosalina in MK8).

A friend told me GC adapters were really easy to get because he apparently got it on release date right before the store closed...All the stores in my area sold out long before release date, and I don't think they ever restocked. >_>

Well, then again, the good ol' Goddess of Light may shine down and sunburn anyone who usurped the Knockle Chockler.

We all know Wario's the best hentai character, I don't know what he's worried about.
He even said he preferred Mario to be an actual plumber in Brooklyn rather than doing his trademark stuff in the Mushroom Kingdom. So does he prefer the movie to be canon too? :troll:

As for the boring part from both you and @ Substitution Substitution , I don't really understand that considering what game series so is from. There really isn't a lot that happens with all the other characters.
Rosalina isn't the most deep written character, but at least Nintendo tried to make a Mario character more interesting by giving her a backstory and whatnot. Some spin-off series, noticeably the RPGs, have some more interesting and fun characterizations imo.

I guess I'm one who believes good story and gameplay is not mutually exclusive, especially in this day and age. The Mario series in particular is iffy, as there's going to be people who would rather have story elements kept out of the games (at least the mainline games) or don't play the games for the story, which is fine. At least, I would like to see a good platformer (maybe spin-off) in which they attempt to create an interesting story with decent characters or something (could just be an abstract game with interesting themes even). I say this because my last Mario platformer was the first Galaxy. I like gameplay, but I want to also be emotionally invested in my games as well (depending on the series. I mean, I'm not going to expect Mario Kart to suddenly have a deep, epic story like the MGS series or something. I don't buy every MK game, only the ones that interest me). It's just how I am -- good gameplay alone just doesn't cut it for me anymore. Unfortunately with Miyamoto around, I'm not sure if I'll get my dream game.

And she's lovely. I couldn't think of anything else at the time. It'll get to me sometime. >_<

Oh, you know what's funny? If you don't change your icon from one containing Rosalina to something else, Mariotehplumber will block you for no reason at all. It's just because of the character. I know this thanks to, well, his amiibo video comments. She must be his no. 2 main target, right after Modern Sonic.

How about Smash 4 Social Thread 4.0. & Luigi?

Also, I'm heading to bed before it gets too late here again, I was restless last night and I need to catch up on my sleep because of it.

In reference to the potential "Smash 4 Social Thread 4.0.0 & Luigi", I leave you tonight with a song that contains maximum overswag.


(seriously, this really is how E. Gadd's theme should've sounded in Dark Moon. Haven't gotten far into the game at all yet, but I know about E. Gadd's new theme, and the lack of funky beats like the original one had was disappointing to me)

Only if Mario is added to the title as well. :troll:

I am so happy that part of the Gravity Falls community agrees with me that Gruncle Stan(ford) is going to try and use the portal to get Stanley

A chunk of it believes he's trying to get ultimate power and take on Bill
