Is 3D Mario doomed?

[Soundwave]

Uhhh ... lol.

Once again ... Super Mario Galaxy sold more than every "core" console game Nintendo has released on the N64 or GCN outside of Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64.

Yes ... that means more than every Zelda game, more than GoldenEye, more than Smash Bros. Melee.

Obviously Nintendo was not disappointed in the sales otherwise a sequel would not have been made.

And it doesn't even matter because IMO the next 2D Mario after NSBM Wii will be on the DS2 ... not Wii or Wii 2. The Wii 2 might get the next-next 2D Mario, but you're talking about a game that is like 5-6 years away ... what's even the point?
