You need to replace "people" with "Nintendo detractors". People actually see 2D and 3D Mario platformers as entirely different games, that's why there's such a massive difference in sales. This will be proved again when SMG2 falls far short of 10m while at the same time NSMB Wii goes on to easily pass 20m. If people really viewed 2D and 3D Mario platformers simply as "Mario games", then pretty much everyone who liked NSMB Wii should also buy SMG2. Not gonna happen, especially because there are oldschool 2D Mario fans who call 3D Mario "not a (real) Mario game". |
I was thinking along thoose lines myself while reading over some of the new post. I know I view them differetly. 3D Marios I get hyped for. 2D Marios make me scream wooohoooooooooooo!!!! I can keep calm about Super Mario Galaxy 2 even though I enjoyed the first one more than any other 3D Mario. However, when I found out about New Super Mario Bros and New Super Mario Bros Wii I got all excited and could not wait in a calm manner. I felt like a kid the night before X-mas
