Posted October 21, 2016 Hilarious. Now activate the Pikachu amiibo for use in MK8 and Super Mario Maker! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 21, 2016 Perhaps it would be good to add (Merchandise) to the title... As interesting as this is (more Hanafuda cards are always good!) I read the title "Mario & Pokémon Crossover" and well... what's the first thing that comes into your head? I thought we had a new Wii U/3DS/Switch game just announced for a moment, anyway it's still cool though. : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 21, 2016 But I'm being clickbaity I thought as much! :p Now that I've seen that artwork though, I kind of want a 2D Mario Pikachu platformer, or at the very least a series of officially made levels by Nintendo within Super Mario Maker.

Posted October 21, 2016 Nintendo Executive A: Well our two best selling franchises are Mario and Pokemon how can we take advantage of this? Nintendo Executive B: I know, let's make a Mario Pikachu! Nintendo Executive A: Great idea. Let's make a Luigi one too. It IS still the year of Luigi right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 21, 2016 (edited) Dat thread title. Oooooh, that's very cheeky. It's one step closer to Pocket Monster Hunter, so I am A-OK with this! And I love the Pokemon-ised SMB artwork. Someone had fun with that. They missed an opportunity not making the other Pokemon look more like the Mario enemies though. Give Blastoise a spiky shell and that gorgeous hair Bowser rocks. (Guy totally conditions) Is it just me, or are the Blastoise line being depicted as the bad guys more and more? First Origins, and now this.
