I dk, after whats happened to Wario (talking sales) i really dk if they would do it.
My opinion is that the 2d parts of SMG were some of my favorite sections in the levels. I would love to see more 3d/2d mixed levels in any and all Mario games but exclusively 2d isn't my preference.
Mixing 2d and 3d i think is what made SMG's 2d levels so entertaining, you had the choice, and i think it juxtaposed the gravity play dynamics and traditional 3d platforming elements really effectively.
So my choice is 2d but not exclusively, mix it up please.
“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
