I agree with him in terms of Nintendo not having their priorities straight.
The fact that there were 2 Galaxy games was proof of that.
In the 3DS' case, not starting off with a 2D Mario is almost insane considering the last NSMB sold more than 26 million copies. Any other company would have made that a launch title if given the chance. NSMB vaulted Wii sales into the stratosphere and sold boatloads.
No one is denying 3D Mario's influence on gaming...but in a business sense they should never make one of those before a 2D game. A 2D Mario at launch (2012) and then another one 3-4 years later would keep Wii U sales from the vicious decline that the Wii saw after 2010.
SM64 was an excellent game, as was Ocarina of Time. Notice though that no 3D Mario has been able to touch the sales of SM64 since...For Zelda, OOT was only recently beaten due to Twilight Princess being released on 2 systems. Something is up with the 3D.
