GAH... where the hell is Mario 3???!!

[OB1]

From GAF:

According to the newest issue of GamePro Magazine, Nintendo will present Super Mario Advance 4 at this year's Electronics Entertainment Expo. However, for folks hoping to finally see an improved version of Super Mario Bros. 3 on the Game Boy Advance have a disappointment awaiting them. According to GamePro, the fourth "classic" Mario port will be of the underwhelming Nintendo 64 title, Yoshi's Story. This hasn't by any means been confirmed officially by Nintendo.

Also on the list of GBA games to show up is another installment in the Mario Kart franchise. That's pretty much all the magazine had to say about this one, but we'd suspect that it will connect in some way with the GameCube's Double Dash if it were to make an appearance.

Both of these announcements remain unofficial and unconfirmed at this time, but we thought you'd like to know. We'll have news come next tuesday, so make sure you come back.

Oh for crying out loud...

Well who knows? To be honest I've never liked Gamepro. They do have a history of reporting false leads pretty often.

Yoshi's Story however shouldn't be Mario Advance 4. Mario isn't even in the game, is he? It doesn't seem like it's a Mario game at all.

[A Black Falcon]

Huh... they'd better be saving Mario 3 for something REALLY special!

[Weltall]

Nintendo: "Everyone likes Mario 3... how bout we don't ever release it. I'm sure Yoshi's Story will end up selling two million copies!" *pockets wads of cash*

[A Black Falcon]

As I said. It better be AWESOME. Like, paling Mario Bros. Deluxe in extras awesome.

[OB1]

I certainly hope that Nintendo has something really, really big planned for Mario 3. Like instead of a simple SNES port we get completely revamped graphics, great multiplayer modes, new levels, and connectivity with Mario 128.

[Darunia]

Keep dreaming, OB1.

Yoshi's Story was bad, but it may be worth a go.

[A Black Falcon]

Very doubtful.

Oh, and how funny is it that me and OB1 posted at the same exact minuite... at 5:14 am (3:14 Mountain)...

And if its not something huge it'll be a HUGE dissapointment because of how many times they've skipped it.

[Darunia]

That's really not that big of a thing that you posted simultaneously.

[A Black Falcon]

At 5 am.

[Great Rumbler]

Do you guys ever go to sleep?!

Back on topic.

I probably wouldn't buy Mario 3 on the GBA unless it had a lot of updates. Why? Becuase I have it on Mario All-Stars on the Snes, so I'm good.

[OB1]

But you can't play Mario All-Stars on the crapper, now can you?? Hmm?? HMM??!!

[Dark Jaguar]

Portability isn't exactly worth buying a game you already own. Besides, the bathroom is right inside your house. Who cares about being able to play in there or the kitchen? You barely travelled at all!

[OB1]

I travel all of the time, and sometimes I play my GBA when I use the bathroom at work.

[Sacred Jellybean]

If there's a dude in the stall next to you, does he get all confused when he hears the GBA sounds?

[OB1]

They're single-person bathrooms.

[Sacred Jellybean]

There's more than one of them? I've never seen such a thing... maybe 1 single-personed bathroom, but not more than one right near each other.

[OB1]

There several single-person bathrooms at my work.

[A Black Falcon]

How strange... usually single-person bathrooms are either by themself or have one per gender...

[OB1]

Nope.

[Darunia]

I say we need co-ed bathrooms. But then again, maybe thats just cuz I need to vent some...testosterone.

[OB1]

Yeah I'm sure you'd bag a lot of ladies that way.

[A Black Falcon]

Of course he would! How could you doubt him?

[Darunia]

Lol. My goron charisma is a chick magnet.
