I'm not kidding, actually. It is typical: everyone is too busy to help out.

41 days....
...until Zelda gets herself kidnapped.
Again.
And you have to quest to find her.
Again.
Man, isn't it time Zelda had a game to herself where she started kicking the asses of everyone who tried to kidnap her?

Yeah...It's called "Mario's Missing"...Doesn't go over too big with the masses... Princess Toadstool did get her chance to be a playable character in Super Mario II ;D That was fun, it's by far one of my favorite Mario games b/c all the character suck to some degree or another except for her (and Luigi on certain levels). ;D

I thought you played as Luigi in "Mario is Missing"?

You do.
I was just using that as an example of how people take something and put it into another persective. Like instead of playing as Mario all the time, why not Luigi for a change...
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: Gee, wouldn't it be awesome if Luigi had his own game...
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: Yeah... Mario has all the glory... I mean, even though Super Mario games are two player games where you could choose to be Mario or Luigi to save the Princess, it would be cool to see Luigi be player one controled instead of begin resorted to being "number two"... hee hee hee... A little videogame humor there...
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: Hee hee hee... That's funny! Can I use that joke the next time I'm at the water cooler...?
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: Hee hee hee.... No.
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: Fair enough... Should we bring this idea to Miyamoto?
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: Yes...Let's. ^^
((Tell idea to Miyamoto))
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: So you see... Wouldn't it be a great change, or rather, a new perspective of game play if we let Luigi be the focal point character that the kids play with...?
MIYAMOTO: Mmmm... Interesting... But instead of Luigi saving Princess Toadstool... How about we have him save his older brother, Mario...?
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: WHAT?! That's crap! No one would buy that! Everyone wants to at least be able to save the princess! That's the prime staple of Mario games... Saving the princess and beating Bowser... If we take that away, we have nothing!
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: Hee hee hee... You'll have to excuss my fellow collegue... He's a bit passionate in his beliefs for the way videogames should be...
MIYAMOTO: ..........
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: So, what do you think? Do we have a game, or...?
MIYAMOTO: Well, I like the concept. Having Luigi as player one instead of player two. That's thinking out of the box. I just don't think he's capible enough to save Princess Toadstool...
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: Well, what about Princess Daisy... From the gameboy versions of the Mario games...? What if we supplement her in as a replacement...?
MIYAMOTO: I don't think we should be adding characters from the Gameboy versions into the Super NES system... Plus people would think that Daisy and Luigi are lovers, which is not the case... It would just ruin the balence of the Mario universe...
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: ((thinking)) Jesus, he reads a little too much into his own creations...
MIYAMOTO: So it's Mario that needs to be saved. Either that, or no deal.
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: Deal!
((shake hands and leave meeting))
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: Why the hell did you do that?! The game's gonna suck ass! No one's going to buy it when they find out that they need to save Mario from Bowser... Why the hell would Bowser want to kidnap Mario in the first place and hold him for ransom...? Wouldn't Bowser kill Mario as soon as he had him in his possession...?
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: I think you're reading too much into videogames... You gotta look at the big picture. We're being assigned to design a videogame... We're gonna be paid extra for coming up with the idea... So get over it!
((One year later, the game known as "Mario's Missing" hits videogame and toy stores nationwide in the U.S. and bombs. Apparently, kids thought it was gay that Luigi had to save his older brother instead of a princess))
THE END....OR IS IT...
((6 years later...))
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: I was just watching this movie called "Ghostbusters"...It's pretty funny... I love American hummor...
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: Yeah, I saw it with Yamada san when it first came to the Tokyo theaters. Very funny movie. ^^
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: Hey, wouldn't it be funny if we made a videogame where Mario and Luigi had to busts ghosts? I mean, we have those ghost bad guys from previous Mario games.... Oh, what were their names...?
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: Boos?
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: YES! Boos... We could make them the prime bad guys that the Mario bros. have to fight! Or bust rather. ^^
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: Sounds great! Let's take it to Miyamoto and see what he thinks...
((talk to Miyamoto))
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: So, what do you think?
MIYAMOTO: I like it! That's thinking out of the box! But instead of a proton pack and nutrona wand... How about a vaccum cleaner to suck up the ghosts?
BOTH VIDEOGAME PROGRAMERS: ....................
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: You gotta be kidding me?! A vaccum?! That litterally SUCKS!! Couldn't it be like a nucleonic flame thrower that could blow up ghosts or something? I think the kids would love it! ^^
MIYAMOTO: No...That's too much like Ghostbusters... It's vaccum, or nothing.
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: If I may, sir, umm... The "vaccum ghostbusting" idea has already been used in an old Walt Disney Mickey Mouse short from the 1930s. Mickey, Donald, and Goofy went to a haunted house to busts ghosts with vaccum cleaners...
MIYAMOTO: Screw Disney! Mario's a bigger icon than some fragin' rodent! We're not going to let a little concept of catching ghosts with vaccums for a videogame be ruined by some damn American cartoon from the '30s! Disney has taken over Japan by force! Let us not forget Tokyo Disney...
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: ((gasps)) My God, you're right...
MIYAMOTO: Oh, and also... No Mario.
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER ONE: WHAT?! NO MARIO?!
MIYAMOTO: No Mario. Kids would think he's a sissy for chasing after ghosts with a vaccum... We'll give him a different type of vaccum tool in another game... Let's just let Luigi do the Ghostbusting.
VIDEOGAME PROGRAMER TWO: Alright, we have a deal.
((shake hands and leave))
((One year later, the game known as "Luigi's Mansion" was born))
THE END

it's actually AFTER March... the game will come out no sooner than April 1st, as that is the start if the fiscal something or other, and they said it would come out then.
