Which means despite the view that kids don't care about the plumber, they clearly still do like Mario. I would say that after Minecraft as well, Mario would be the merch I see kids wearing the most, above even all of Marvel combined. Zelda appears to have become an adult franchise though, I'll grant that.Fuck retail. Adds nothing. Someone should be brave and cut them out entirely. (Sorry DD)

Whether that's Nintendo sending out discs in the post or, ideally, sensible download pricing, I don't know. The days when big publishers needed retailers are coming to an end if they haven't actually already.
