Super Mario Galaxy DS

Well this morning I decided I should post and what did I find? What is probably the next in a line of Mario re-releases. It was announced recently that Nintendo is apparently already making progress with a DS port of what is probably close to the best selling game on the Wii. In case the title doesn't spell it out for you I am talking about Super Mario Galaxy DS.

I don't know who came up with this crazy idea, but it's crazy. Porting SMG to the DS is easily possible and it's not the worst idea, but it's still a bad one. First, why port a game so close to after its initial release? If you wait a 5 or so years then maybe, maybe you could do it, but very few people are going to want this game even with its new stars and planets. Second, there's better things for Nintendo to be doing. If they really want to port a game, port Super Mario 64 to the Wii, and I am most definitely NOT talking about the virtual console. Give SM64 new better graphics, maybe some more stars, some unlockables, include some of the famous "lost bytes", and personally I would love it if you jacked up the difficulty, but then walk away. DO NOT take an already easy game (I'm switching back to SMG) and make it easier. Do not make challenges that are only slightly different from the others and say your giving us "new content." You know I've always hated Nintendo and this just breaks the last straw. I'm throwing away all my systems and getting myself a PS3. After all, Sony has so many better games that Nintendo it's not even funny. And you know what else gets me angry? I lost my wallet yesterday and when I found it today, the only thing in it was a note that said, "April Fools" well you know what?
