Retail Week: Mario Just Couldn’t Stay Away

July 30th, 2007 by Brian Lockhart in Nintendo DS, PC, PSP, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Wii, Xbox360

I take it back. Mario couldn’t stay out of our lives this week after all. After the Wii has been lying dormant (some might call it a dry spell) over the past few weeks, a first party heavy hitter will mark the end of July, leading into August when the big games will leave us satisfied all the way into Christmas. As such, 360 and PS3 have apparently decided it best to let Mario have the dignity he deserves. All signs point to go as a must buy multiplayer experience, that won’t have you wobbling to the same minigames rehashed over and over again. Continue on for the full list of titles releasing this week:
