I've seen a lot of people say that.  I genuinely don't see what's so great about 2D Mario.  Just a colloquial example, but:

A friend and I have been playing Wii co-op platformers together lately.  We started with NSMBWii, which was fine, we had a decent time with it.  We then went on to Donkey Kong Country Returns, and it just blew Mario out of the water.  The quality of platforming, action AND environments was just miles above anything in the 2D Mario.  Should've added DK to my list really.

That, and I grew up on 3D platformers, so I'm much more partial to them.  The Ratchet and Clank games alonside SMG 1 & 2 are some of my favourite titles of this generation.


I wouldn't consider DKCR a 3D game.

I'm referring to the difference between NSMB and say SMG. Between these two styles, NSMB mops the floor and is just more fun. Especially given the 4-player coop.

I actually haven't played DKCR, but I should probably get it. Maybe I'll snag it when it goes Nintendo Selects.


It's 20 dollars off at kmart right now.

Is it $20 total or $30? Guess I could just go look.....

edit: $30. I'll wait, I just bought Pikmin2.
