Does Mario need to be so kiddy?

Mario games don't need a story IMO (except the RPGs of course), but with the popularity of the newer Mario games Nintendo is afraid of changing the formula, so I don't think we'll see big changes in the New Super Mario series anytime soon

What about the struggling sales (relatively of course) of NSMB2? Could that trigger an alarm?

How is NSMB2 struggling in sales?  It has been in the Top 3 in Global Software Sales in each of the three weeks since it released, including #1 for two of those three weeks.  It's at 3/4 of a million in sales in less than a month, and that's just one territory of sales since it just released in NA on the 19th.  At 780,000 units, it has already outsold every game on Vita, and is already 12th best selling on 3DS (once the NA #'s come in, it will cruise into the top ten on the system if not top 5 right away.)  So, define struggling sales please.

If you're quoting one user, you don't need to make multiple posts one at a time. Try to put it all in a big reply next time.

Not trying to discourage you, or anything. You've got some great points there about the collision of hardware limitations and artistic choices in days of yore.
