Malstrom equates 3D Mario with poison

I don't feel like it would be a good idea to make multiple 2D Mario games on a console. More than 2 would be overkill. Having 3D Mario mixes things up and provides a different experience for a different consumer. I personally love 2D and 3D Mario games, and I would be sad if either of them were gone.

Is your point that you would rather the resources that go into 3D Mario games go into other non-Mario projects?

The point is that Super Mario Bros. spawns other awesome games while 3D Mario spawns virtually nothing.

What do you mean 3D Mario spawns virtually nothing!

Super Mario 64 revolutionized 3D gaming. It's literally is one of the most influential videos games ever created. It spawned a ton of great games such as.

1. Banjo and Kazooie, Banjo Tooie

2. Donkey Kong 64

3. Ocarina of Time

4. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark

5. Jet Force Gemini and Conkur's bad fur day

You can't honeslty tell me that all these games are bad.

All 3D gaming owes gratitude to Mario 64.

Just like Super Mario Bros layed the foundation of how to make a video game, Mario 64 layed the foundation on how to make a 3D game. While it's true none of the newer 3D Mario games were as influential as Mario 64, neither are the newest 2d Mario games. In fact I would say that 3D Mario's are more innovative and creative. NSMB and NSBMW are great games that are based mostly off nostalgia and borrow most of thier ideas from the past games.

I believe that what has spun off of NSMB mostly this gen was wishful thinking.

Don't get me wrong I do believe that NSMBW spawned a lot of the 2d games we've seen this gen. I like having 2D Mario and I think Nintendo should continue to make them. I just don't like the notion that 3D Mario hasn't spawned anything and should be gotten rid of. Things could have easily gone the other way around.

For example imagine if after Mario 64, Nintendo immediately released another 2D Mario and never made another 3D mario and continued to make 2D  Mario. Then the market would have followed suit an mostly made 2d platformers. Then years down the road Nintendo decides to make another 3D Mario. This in turn would of caused a lot more 3D platformers to be created.

My point is there 2d and 3d Mario games can co-exist.
