Cultural Appropriation... Cultures don’t own clothing styles, musical styles, or even necessarily symbols (especially simple geometric figures). Someone from another culture using something like that and even doing it wrong isn’t “stealing”.

partly because New Super Mario Brothers U turned people off from Mario, because many say it simply as a port of New Super Mario Brothers (and in many ways it kind of was).

As a Mexican, we really don’t care.

You don’t need to be, there will always be some white person feigning offense in place of you :P

You’re the hero Kotaku needs, but not the one it deserves.

As I recently said to someone over at io9: that term does not means what you think it means. “Cultural appropriation” is not simply using anything from another culture. Rather, it’s when Culture X takes something important and meaningful from Culture Y and uses it in a way that strips it of said meaning, either on…

Nope, we love the world using our sombreros.

only racist people consider a sombrero racist.

As a Mexican, no, they are not offensive, neither cultural appropriation. In any case, Americans are the ones who think that...

yes, you’re absolutely right, sombrero’s are the thing that enrages people upon sight. In Mexico only outlaws wear sombrero’s when they’re armed with at least 6 bullets. its the symbol of gang violence, children are taught when you see a sombrero cross the street, shits about to hit the fan.

Nope

Lol take a better look at the comments

Holy shit shut up.

I’m pleased to see a reignited focus on exploration. It was one of my favorite aspects about platformers on the N64 (Super Mario, Banjo Kazooie, Donkey Kong 64) and we seem to have lost it somewhere along the way. Open world games are fun, but most of them aren’t platformers in the traditional sense, so I’m super…

Sunshine was one of my favorites. If it’s anything like that, I may just have to pick up a switch. (along with all the other reasons)

Wow, it really feels like they took the sense of freedom and wonder from Breath of the Wild, turned it sideways, and decided to apply it to Mario. This looks awesome.

I guess Nintendo really threw their hat into the ring at this E3.

Nintendo is doing some cool stuff with open worlds. This game looks crazy and fun, and the mini levels scattered around the open world look great. They brought up Super Mario Sunshine a lot when discussing this game and I can definitely see the similarities.

This is true. Little was announced that was brand new IP. Then again a lot of things were only BARELY announced last year and were given more meat this year.

Thats one of the reasons i never really got going with Ark.
