Malstrom equates 3D Mario with poison

It doesn't change the fact that Malstrom doesn't know jack about game criticism or recognize the value of a diverse game line up.

Which is why he called Reggie an idiot for not wanting to bring the Operation Rainfall games to America or Nintendo on the whole for keeping games like Zangeki No Reginleiv in Japan.

You people keep criticizing Malstrom for being closed-minded, yet none of you ever saw a problem with Super Mario Galaxy 2 which goes completely against the idea of a more diverse game lineup. Its changes to the previous game are minimal. It's just Yoshi and a couple of new power-ups. Likewise, apparently there's no real problem with the 3DS lineup even though it's one 3D gameplay title after another. Despite the fact that Nintendo are masters of 2D gameplay.

I would agree with that.  There is no reason for NOA to not localize these games.

No, Galaxy 2 did not promote a diverse line up.  However, it was based in good business practices.  The assets and ideas were already there.  Low cost for high profit.  It is clear there was demand there, so fans got what they wanted too.

But if Malstrom had his way, the first Galaxy would have never existed.
