I get all the Mario sports games, that might seem a bit "Ooo, Mario controls him", but I just find them more interesting, and therefor enjoyable than regular ones. I also like Mario Tennis with the power shots.
I think Mario looks aggressive bacuase thay are trying to aim for older gamers. I think this is a good way of doing it, as I don't think it harms Mario's more "bright" image, he's going for inbetween.
I agree. The next one should be Team Building like Mario Baseball.
Have you ever played a "crappy mario spinoff"?!
I also like the Boxart, it's cool. Hopefully ours will be something like that.
