Do you guys think NSMB2 will chop off Super Mario 3D Lands legs?

It's gonna be interesting to see the effect

I think it will.  I think you'll see a big impact during the holiday season.  Most people who buy a 3DS will buy it with a Mario game, and most are going to choose one or the other.  From a business perspective I would have waited till the next holiday season.  From a personal experience I can't wait for some new Mario.

I'm also surprised that Mario is coming out in August.  You'd think that Nintendo would want to use it as their big holiday title.  This makes me hopeful that they're going to bring out some truly huge title for the holidays, but what franchise do they have that's bigger than 2-D Mario?  Maybe they have an amazing new IP and they don't want Mario stealing the spotlight? 

My only other thought is that the 3DS is going to be a little downplayed this holiday as Nintendo tries to put more emphasis on the Wii U.  Nintendo might try this stratergy if they don't feel very threatened by the Vita, which they likely don't.
