how much is a reasonable price for Mario franchise if Nintendo were to sell it?

Also, is it just me, or you as well think Mario games fit well X360's achievements system, and it would be really nice to see actual next-gen Mario graphics?

or that's just crazy talk cause teh internetz would implode if this happens?

There would never be a price it could be bought for. Nintendo would rather choose death.

No. Mario is fine as it is. You don't need Microsoft screwing it up like Halo 2 and 3.

Bill Gates has the Midas touch, but instead of turning things into gold, he turns hardware into overheated PoS.

Mario's priceless. And why would you want to see ''next-gen graphics'' for Mario?

Why even discuss it... Nintendo would NEVER sell Mario. Period. Mario is their biggest franchise. It would be even bigger than Microsoft selling the Halo franchise to Sony. It will not happen. Nintendo is NOTHING without Mario.

So... Nintendo would probably sell if for $1x10^100.

Same here maybe it could look better on the Successor to the Wii since it will have HD but the maybe they can add the detail that is in the Brawl Mario he has alot of Detail but still has the similar Artstyle because if Mario was made by Microsoft it would be alot like Ron Jeremy (spelling?) unless they give Mario to Rare to make then I would be less nervous since Rare usually has the same style as Nintendo but they just have better Graphics.

Microsofts answer to everything, if you can't beat them buy them but Nintendo will never go as low as to sell themself to Microsoft especially considering the Wii is murderising the 360 worldwide

You know you show that picture a lot.

I own 2 360's and play both all the time.

a premium since launch and an Elite since 2 weeks ago.

Never had RRoD but its all good cuz I have a 3 year free warranty. Too bad theres not a warranty for crap games.
