You know what would be the mario bros if we had to choose one that is a mobile game? Motherfucking plants vs zombies
Hahahaha ok that one is silly.
Rovio still needs to be really strong in franchises and constant evolution in gameplay horizons to be considered such. It sure us popular, but shit it just is not as strong.

You know what would be the mario bros if we had to choose one that is a mobile game? Motherfucking plants vs zombies because that went to multiple consoles and has been successful on every single one. AB sold a shit ton on iphones, on android it was free, and I venture to guess it sold next to nothing on the psn, the only actual gaming platform it has been released for
Correct me if I'm wrong but there has only been one Angry Birds game right? Lets see how well the second one does before you make such claims because I don't think the franchise has the legs they think it does. Sure it's a hit now but the casual gamer is far more likely to move on than the "hardcore" gamer. My guess, 5 years from now , Angry Birds will be forgotten.
Justin Biever joke time:
Just how Justin Biever will be forgotten in a few years, so will angry birds.

It's as if everyone who worked on Angry Birds is in a race to see who can be the first to piss off more people than Activision.
I think the sequel to Angry Birds should be called Angry Peckers. The birds this time are of course are all wood peckers. The name alone would cause it sell by the bucket load. And then there could be a spin-off series called Angry Pussies. Cats of course.
I admit i have never played Angry Birds...but how about this
When these guys make another good game (so nobody regards them as one hit wonders anymore), then I'll start taking their words seriously

In 100 years, when people remember the birth of video games, Super Mario Bros. will probably be one of the only game franchises that people remember from this time. Angry Birds will be forgotten.
Ok Guys, just give me two plastic sporks and point me to the self-absorbed douche you want me to vivisect first.
How did this game even get so popular? I downloaded it, played for 5-10 min. Then deleted it. Didn't really find the fun in slinging birds at pigs.
What a pretentious asshole, Angry Birds cannot be compared to Super Mario Bros. Super Mario Bros is a successful franchise that is over 25 years old and has had successful sequel after successful sequel. It is a much different type of game than Angry Bird, in fact I think there is more too SMB definitely. To deny your children a Nintendo handheld because an iPhone is the "be all, end all" is just ignorant in my opinion. Angry Birds cannot be compared to the Super Mario Bros franchise. It was only one game that's really just a pick up and play title with very little longevity compared to Mario. Angry Birds is only temporarily popular, if he spits out a few more sequels then maybe then he'll be able to rival SMB. Right now though? No way.
Seriously, who the hell does this guy think he is?

"My kids will never own a DS or PSP"
That's a shame. I guess they will never be able to appreciate real games with actual depth. Now all they have are games meant for people that want to do something while they wait for the bus.

This is not gaming.
Gaming isn't defined by something i've only ever done whilst on the train or the shitter.

That type of remark....kids not using a DS or PSP...hm...I dunno man...I highly doubt it.
Dunno about Angry Birds being the new SMB. Angry Brids is good yes, But.....I think some developers get alittle ahead of themselves.

Angry Birds today = Snake yesterday
To compare it to Mario or Tetris, and insinuate it has even a close impact is an insult to both.

it's because they are sales VP jerkoffs and it is their job to badmouth the competition and talk about how much better the product they sell is. i doubt very much anyone will know care about angry birds 25 years from now. mario will probably still be around.
Are Gonzalez, Molyneux, and Cage having a secret douche-off to see which one gamers find most annoying?
I played Angry Birds once, and I had no fun. No I don't think I'll ever play it again. Especially after hearing these twits talk about how amazing their farts smell. It really has a negative impact on my view of the game, since it is their brainchild.
My irritation was made greater today when my two young nephews came home with Angry Birds plush toys. Fuck, man.
I am going to be attempting to get into this business, and am already messing around with Android apps, and I just can't imagine saying shit like that and having it end up on a webpage. To really appreciate a game, in my opinion, it helps to know something about who worked on it, and what their desires were for the final product. If they just wanted to make money and are full of themselves, I believe it shows through the media they create. It's a vision, and when you pull people in and gain their respect, and then shit out of your gab-hole, you can really stink up that "relationship."
I believe I wrote too much on this subject. I didn't sleep last night.

That dev is talking out of his arse. Im sick of mobile devs harping on about how they are the future and traditional gaming is an dying industry.
What bullshit if anything its the mobile industry that has no legs due to the likes of Apple setting the pricepoint of their games too low and flooding their market with crap. Sourcebits just got lucky thats all, otherwise theyll be making peanuts like most mobile devs

Honestly when you think about it, he's kind of right. Angry Birds has pretty much inspired a lot of people to buy the specific platform just to play that game. As well as inspire developers to make games for that specific platform because it's done so well. Not to mention Angry Birds is now getting a lot of merchandising as Mario did when it was released. There's the upcoming tv show, t-shirts, stuffed animals. Wouldn't surprise me if they were planning an Angry Birds cereal.
However I wouldn't fully say it's really obtained the same level of success when it comes to Mario Bros. When the NES was out, it was a hardware that costed some hundred dollars and the software was an extra 30-50 dollars. When it comes to Angry Birds though, you're buying hardware for a few hundred dollars, but spending only a few dollars for software. So a lot of it's success rides on how cheap of a game it is. Or if you're on the Android platform, it's free.

It's comments like these that really do not earn the good will of us "core" gamers. I don't mind the existence of mobile games, but if the devs for mobile games keep acting so superior and high and mighty, it's going to be really hard to ignore their mindless drivel.

Nope. I played the trial before it blew up. It didn't seem like it was worth 5 dollars to me.

Wanna know why these statements are coming out now? Look at the App Store on the All Games section. Angry Birds is now #2 (and #4) with this Tiny Wings game taking away their months-long stranglehold on the App Store (with the brief period SF4 was on top). There is no category Angry Birds tops now. They're starting to lose relevancy. They're becoming antiquated.
Angry Birds be angry now. :D

And I still have no clue what that crap is. Do the birds rape and pillage or some shit of that nature?
Angry Birds is the new pet rock. It proves you can still sell shit to the stupid in very large quantities. Let's see if they are pumping out Angry Bird games and using it to sell hardware 25 years from now.
Jesus Christ, Zuma was teh shit a few years back and now people have more or less forgotten about it. Selling lots of copies for $0.99 does not instantly make it a classic. Also, Lou Albano wouldn't make a good Angry Bird.
I play angry birds for free while I'm doing a shit. I pay $80+ for mainstream console/pc games and actually put aside time to play them.
I love how most one hit wonders ego goes right to their heads after a little time in the spotlight it really makes for some great laughs, luckily they usually get it knocked down to the ground by reality after a while.
if people are playing the original Angry Birds years and years after its release then I would give these people some credit, but until that happens I do not believe these cocky statements. I tried Angry Birds once and was not impressed and do not have the urge to play it (Fruit Ninja on the other hand is a lot of fun!)
Lolno.
When I'm playing Angry Birds Galaxies 2 20 years in the future, THEN I'll admit that its the new Super Mario Bros. Until then, sit down and shut up cause its a long ride.

See, Super Mario Brothers has this thing called "Staying Power". That means it's as relevant now as it was 25 years ago.
People will forget about Angry Birds once they figure out an app that will intravenously apply Farmville .
And once they lose relevance, it serves them right for ripping off a Newgrounds game and profiting off of it. Karma's a bitch.
