Mario to Shake His Groove Thing

Posted by Zonk on from the my-childhood-is-crying-out-from-it's-grave dept.

After the news earlier this week that Mario would be shooting hoops in NBA Street, I decided that Nintendo had reached the end of its tie-in rope with Mario. I was wrong. The newest Dance Dance Revolution title for the Gamecube will be called Dance Dance Revolution with Mario. From the article: "As the title suggests, Dance Dance Revolution with Mario is a new installment in Konami's DDR dancing game series, featuring characters from the Mushroom Kingdom. Details on the game haven't been disclosed yet, but from the released images, DDR with Mario seems to play similarly to DDR, with familiar backdrops featured in the 3D installments of the Super Mario series." Ow.

    This comes as no surprise to me - I always feel like dancing after I have eaten hallucinagenic mushrooms.

  2. Good idea. by MBCook · · Score: 5, Funny
    I think this is a great idea. Mario could stand to lose some weight.

    Of course, with all the exercise he gets (Mario Golf, Mario Tennis, Mario Baseball, Mario Trout Fishing-xTreme), you think he'd be in better shape. Just what IS his diet anyway?

    PS: I like Mario Golf, etc, but this just seems like they are renting Mario out for money. Why not just make Mario Basketball if you want him to play?

    Or a hot Japanese school girl, but this is Slashdot, so we can discount that option, leaving only "gay San Fransico-ite."

    Do they feature the Princess shaking her booty in a latex mini-skirt?
