It's not about 2D games as such, just that 3D Mario has never taken off in Japan like the 2D games did. This is why the argument that NSMB Wii would just sell to existing Galaxy / Mario Kart owners in Japan was pretty flawed.

I think this is true for most of Nintendo's franchises: 2D and 3D iterations don't appeal to the same people (I think) unless you take something relatively small like Metroid.

I'm not even sure why Zelda was brought up though, since Zelda has never been huge in Japan.

But how about that New SUper Mario Bros. Wii? Is that shit not terrifying? Could this be the new Mario Kart (worldwide, not just in Japan)?

Makes sense to me.


I'll admit that i love the 2D Mario and Zelda games way more then their 3D versions... though I do resepect their 3D versions for basically being the best early examples of their medium and because of that basically be a tempalte for future games.

Not to say the 3D games are bad or anyting... i'd just rather have 2D versions.
