I grew up in a household where the boardgame Risk was considered too violent for me to play. When it came to video games, the most exciting was Super Mario N64 (the rest of our library of games consisted of racing games: Crusin’ USA, STAR WARS Pod Racing, etc.) Don’t get me wrong- these are all great games!

It also marked the point at which an individual could finally decide who would win in a fight: Mario or Luigi, Bowser or Donkey Kong. With the newest game in the series, it takes this idea to a whole new level. No longer are the battles between Nintendo stars alone.
