I think Rol was just pointing out the absurdity of expecting a substantial, surprising story from a series that never promised one, and never needed one. |
I'll tell you what's absurd, a game by a brand new company winning an emmy, and a 20m+ sales series that is the poster boy of one of the oldest companies in the industry barely getting the respect of gaming enthusiasts because the effort isn't there.
If all it can do is sales, it isn't the Mario I once knew, a legend that was a cultural phenomenon and even led to its own hollywood movie (The Wizard). You're supposed to be old enough to remember.
Actually, I'll tell you what it is like. It's like a snake shedding its skin. NSMB is the shed skin of what Mario once was.
