I don't game on handhelds, so the last time I played a 2D Mario was in 2009. My body was more than ready. 3 years is plenty of time between releases in a series. And those critical of NSMB2 are a bit confused. It's already sold over 5 million and is the 3DS's fastest selling title.
NSMBU is selling extremely well and is motivating people to buy WiiU. WiiU had a very solid launch. The big drop this week (if true) seems high for a new system. But I wouldn't blame MarioU so much as WiiU needing a smaller price or a better second app. None of Mario, NL or ZombieU are graphically mindblowing. None of them have the adult hook that WiiSports had.
