Well again, I never claimed it was "main" sales driver either, I'm saying there is no "main" sales driver but nostalgic appeal is central to NSMB in pretty much all respects (design, sales, etc). I don't get exactly what you're disagreeing with, we seem to agree here then? |
Not crucial. That's my point. The point is that it has the same gameplay that made the past 2D games hits. That is not nostalgia. That's repeating something that worked big time before. It's the solid pick up and play action that you can't do in the 3D Mario games.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
