But SMB not being a launch game, because Nintendo didn't want to hurt the sales of the game... no, just no. I don't think Nintendo is THAT stupid. It's a game that sells huge numbers for years, so there's no such thing as launching it too soon.

I never, ever said that. Okay for everything else, I loved reading it. I'm not saying I agree to everything, but I sure can follow your thinking and see value in alot of it.

This was my interpretation of this sentence, although I really wasn't all too sure about it:

"At the same time, they didn't want to reduce the sales numbers to 3D levels and they also wanted us to feel the stereo-3D effect, so a 2D-3D hybrid became their solution."

They didn't want to reduce the sales numbers to 3D levels... what is this supposed to mean?

Along with trying to push the 3D effect in Mario 3D Land, I think the main reason 2D Mario for 3DS was held back was because NSMB DS was still selling so well.  That game came out a year and a half after the DS launched and the new game should release roughly on the same schedule for 3DS.
