3D Mario Land was showcased with every 3DS unveiling before they released the 3DS.  It was the title that everyone knew was coming.  2D Mario is a game that has nothing to do with the main concept of of the 3DS, which is the 3D part, and yet they want to push it to come out for next holiday season already.

It will dominate the Holiday season when it comes out, but I think when a new formula doesn't come through on expectations it is a common reaction to fall back on the tried and true formula.  "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."  They tried to fix it

Again I really don't care what they do I just hope that it's not a panicky response for the sole reason that I want them to not take any content away from the already planned Wii U 2D Mario title.

I seriously don't think that the 2D Mario is the panicky "we need to get it out there" type of game. It's just, like I said before, another Mario game. It doesn't necessarily show Nintendo doesn't like the way the 3DS is selling or that they are panicking about it. 

... I just noticed that if the Wii U comes out with NSMBM and then the 3DS's 2D Mario... That can't be right. One of them won't release this year, or Nintendo might just go crazy and release both of them..... Ah! I don't know. XD
