GameStop inserts Mario in Quake Wars
What better way to ring in your Wednesday morning than with a little "Fun With Copy Editing Errors"? A listing for Enemy Territory: Quake Wars on GameStop's home page says that players of the game will get to "Duke it out with characters from your favorite Nintendo games, Mario, Link, Kirby, Pikachu and more!" You can allow yourself a bit of fan fiction day dreaming before you realized that somebody probably screwed up.It's not the end of the world, but you have to admit it's good for a laugh. This entry might be gone by the time you click your way to GameStop's front page, but thankfully it's saved here in digital amber for you and your grandkids to enjoy.

It's sad that no one takes pride in their jobs anymore. Even the shitty ones.

Yeah, considering that's their snippet for Brawl, it's a simple mistake.

i always thought that a Nintendo Style Quake Wars would be a bit good, Nntendo's take on the genre.

yeah, like nintendo paintball with nintendo characters running around launching blobs of paint with bazookas or something. It would be family friendly, but a good shooter game too.
wow that is a kinda cool idea.

From the title, I thought maybe Gamestop had put an in-game ad for Mario. I would've been ticked. :)

For some reason, you guys are reminding me of the old South Park FPS from the N-64... the one with nerf guns, turkeys, etc.
