Its not that just spherical worlds have been added - its the additional of "true" gravity, incorporated with these worlds
What do you mean by that? Some of the planets seem far too small to have any realistic sense of gravity (which would be near to none).
I have seen a lot of footage and I really don't think this game has that general appeal like Super Mario World and Mario 64 did. Although I feel confident it's probably going to be a much better game than Sunshine was. Of course we are going to see much hyped reviews and raving Mario fans on forums. But the game compared to past Mario64's success approach there will be more complex controls (sure Nintento PR is going to say it feels so much more natural... and parts of the gaming press may take their word for it maybe forgetting about their mom and little kids), less the feel of having seamlessly connected worlds and some parts are disorienting.
Oh and I didn't really like Super Mario World 2 as well, a far cry from the fun I had with the original SMW.
