I think we need a reboot of Mario, which I don't think is the same thing. I think someone should remake the original Mario Game, but in 3D in the style they used for Super Mario 64/Sunshine/Galaxy (Not that side-scrolling Wii crap we got in the last remake), and then hire the guys who made the first two paper mario games and/or the Mario and Luigi GBA games to write a story for it. Like, explain why a plumber is fighting to save this princess in the first place. Show how those two people even met in the first place, with a real, actually compelling love story. Maybe even give dialogue options like the ones in the KOTOR games for a bit of role-playing, and to give Mario emotional depth without breaking the age-old rule of never hearing his voice beyond yells, grunts, and declarations of his name. And add in a combat system more advanced than "Jump on Head, repeat"
Basically I want Nintendo to start taking Mario more seriously and bring him into the 21st cemtury
