games like Mario Galaxy are too complex for casual gamers. The thing those first 4 have in common is that they are easy to pick up and play for anybody. They have a much bigger audience to appeal to. 2D marios are easier for people to understand and control, thus can hit a bigger market.

this sounds like this will be the last hardcore mario game for nintendo, if they  keep the trend.

Did you know that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is going to be harder than the original? Something tells me they don't just care about making money, but instead they also like making good games that people enjoy. 2D will generally be easier than 3D for platformers, but that doesn't mean Nintendo will stop making 3D platformers. Thankfully they haven't given up on 2D platformers either.
