[Crash]

Nintendo of America and Electronic Arts today announced an agreement that will implement Nintendo's All-Star characters - Mario, Luigi, and Peach - into SSX On Tour, EA's upcoming snowboarding title.

“I am extremely proud of our innovative partnership with Nintendo with our EA Sports BIG titles,” said John Schappert, Senior Vice President and General Manager of EA Canada. “Mario, Peach and Luigi are among the greatest videogame characters of all time and we are thrilled to include them in SSX On Tour.”

“When Electronic Arts put a basketball in Mario’s hand, he did quite well,” said Reggie Fils-Aime, executive vice president, sales and marketing, for Nintendo of America Inc. “Now Mario and crew are hitting the slopes thanks to a successful and creative partnership between Nintendo and EA. Mario has traveled in snow before, but never this fast. Let’s hope his mustache doesn’t freeze."

[GiMpY-wAnNaBe]

eh....just doesn't seem right, SSX w/ Mario.... There's already too many spinoff's with him in it, stealing other sports to put him in won't cut it anymore, new and innovative game types will.


Or as Jonbo said....another platformer'll do it.

Wow...I hope Nintendo provides Mario with free lube, with all of the whoring and whatnot.

Oh what. Are you kidding me.

Ok this crosses the line. Having them in one game is fine, but now two? Wow.
