My take is basically your first point but also because it does not look to improve very much on the original. A new mode, sure, but where is the innovation Mario is known for? Rol would say 2D Mario doesn't need innovation because it is perfect as it is, but then why don't we just play the old games? They are pretty timeless anyway (most of them).

Because many people don't have the older consoles.

The entire page-worth of conversation resulting from this exchange was irrelevant. Virtual Console, anyone?

Anyway, the answer to pezus's bolded question is in the sales. By all means, pezus, play the old games if you prefer them. But over 25 million people would rather like to play these new ones. I can't answer for all 25 million to why they don't just play the old ones.
