Fear of idea theft kept Mario 128 out of E3 2003

The main reasons Mario didn't sell better are "Cube is gay," "That waterpack is gay," and "Dude, Madden and GTA are hot, yo."

Aye, but remember, it's the TNL mentality that continues to keep developers like SNK and Sega alive. So in that sense, if you have the main presumption of 'Nintendo = gay' under the mainstream, you wouldn't want to undercut yourself by pissing off the niche.

Maybe SNK and Sega suck, and the mainstream has really been right about everything.

Or maybe the video game industry has been scripted.

Wow...spooky...

Well, most people who did not like Sunshine were expecting Mario to change the world like in Mario 64. Just because he did it twice (SMB and SM64) doesn't mean that Mario games have to be revolutionary to be good. What the hell did you want Sunshine to be? 4D? Blinx (kinda) did the 4D thing and didn't change the world either.

4....D?

Do explain.

The first dimention is a line existing on the X-axis.
The second dimention is any given flat geometric shape, I.E. adding the Y-axis, but without a Z-axis.
The third dimention adds the Z-axis.
The fourth dimention is a tesseract, or "hypercube." I.E. adding the W-axis.
The fifth dimention is time.

So Blinx dabbled in non-Euclidian geometry?

I may have to check that out.

Yes. I guess so.

Why everyone always confuses a tesseract (4D) with time (5D) I'll never know.

Blame Chrono Cross.

But why isn't the fifth dimension simply a tesseract within a tesseract?

/me just realized that all of this is way above his head and now he feels stupid and sad
