Sigh. You have no idea what you are talking about Rol.

2D Mario is the original core Nintendo game. This is the game I, and many others, who grew up playing Super Mario Bros., have been waiting for since Super Mario World came out. A true successor in the SMB series.

We don't care about online. Why the hell do you want online in a Mario platformer?

Super Mario Bros is NOT simple gameplay. It is the original core gameplay. Easy to learn, hard to master. Infinitely replayable. You can play a 2D Mario level thousands of times, and still you can do new things, get even better, do better jump combos, improve your timing.

I still play Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World regularly. Galaxy was fun the first time through, but if I am gonna play something now, I'd rather play through all 96 exits on Super Mario World for the 40th time rather than go through galaxy for the 2nd time. So who needs online?

Why does every game have to have online? Because it is a "feature"?

Mario was core when the only people that played games were eight year olds.  The game industry has moved on, Nintendo hasn't and to demonstrate this the release a game a year too late with half the features that were present in LBP and they expect the core to swallow this?

I don't care about what the "industry" is doing. I just want to play awesome games. The Super Mario Bros series is the most awesome games ever. Why do you bring up LBP? NSMBWii is going outdo the lifetime LBP sales in a couple of weeks at most, so yeah, I think the core will swallow this just fine. And guess what, not only will the core enjoy it, but new/inexperienced gamers (including 8 year olds) will as well.

And I'll play this game in multiplayer on a couch with family and friends, not with some random teenager with tourette's on the internet.
