Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Miyamoto Talks About The Future Of The 3D Mario Series

I'm NOT happy that "3D Mario" now means "Galaxy". Does he realise that 64 and Sunshine had unique, worldbuilding, nonlinear qualities that people also liked? Or that random platforms in space, while easy to develop, is no longer innovative?

sunshine shouldnt be in that sentence, it wasnt polished, very glitchy, wasnt innovative, and sold a lot less then say 64, galaxy, or even the current 3d land. Great game, but had a lot of problems and wasnt well liked at all back in the day.



Galaxy 3? Yes, please.

I agree but I don't really know what kind of new mario game would blow my mind as much as galaxy did back then.

Maybe a really grand, epic and non-linear mario with a lot of exploration (as other people have suggested) would do the trick.



3D World probably got fast tracked too because it would be easier (read: finished quicker) to develop than a Mario Galaxy style Mario.

They probably wrapped 3D Land, and went into 3D World a few months later.

Super Mario Bros. 4 please!

I'd take 4000 Sunshines over Galaxy 2.



I hope they go back to Galaxy/Universe one day. 2015 please..

More obvious still, it was likely that they saw the positive response to 3D Land, combined that with the fact that the "New" series was successful on both console and handheld, and just commissioned a "sequel."



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

This.

Sunshine certainly had its great moments but there were parts in that game that were just plain bad. Furthermore, many of the levels just didn't feel different enough from one another. Let's just say that if Mario goes on vacation again I hope he chooses a better place...

OT: Fantastic news and I expected as much. Galaxy 3 (or Universe, whatever they call it) has too many great possibilities to ignore... and there's a big enough fan base that wants it.
