New Super Mario Bros. 2 is not what I want

^But it isn't what we know and love, that's the whole issue I have.

And it really aggravates me that dedicated fans like D21 (who is on my 3DS friends list, we are friends I love his swapnotes) just don't get it.

If NSMB2 ends up winning my heart regardless of the graphics, then all the power to Nintendo, but as it is, the way these pics show, it is not the Mario we know and love from our childhood, it is a new one ridden with cheesy storylines, cheesy voice acting, CHEESY art on backgrounds, cheesy cheesy cheesy, I (censored) hate it.

When I look at the screenshots I see a Mario game, complete with things that I would expect to find in a Mario game. I have no idea what you are seeing.

I'd also hazard a guess that the Princess will still be in another castle...

Tradition is not what is bothering me milky. It's the cheesyness of certain aspects, those I listed:

1) The Voice acting

2) The new storylines

3) The cinematics (when existent)

4) The backdrops and characters

It's all from the new Mario and I really hate it. It smells 0 depth, and that's not something you do with your #1 franchises. To put it in d21's frame of mind, imagine if Beauty and the Beast or The Little Mermaid were stripped of their plot twists, stripped of the emotions they convey, stripped of the sheer artwork and effort, stripped of the glorious orchestrals, stripped of on and on and on and on, and you get, the New Mario...

One game was fine, we all needed a new 2D Mario, I was excited for NSMB. But this is borderline capitalism, and I resent it.

Of course it is. Nintendo is a public company and it's their responcibility to create as much capitalistic value as possible for their shareholders. Every other week I see articles about their Shareholders crying for Nintendo to port their big franchises to other consoles and smart phones.
