I think Nintendo doesn´t like developing 2D Mario games, they "force themselves" due to their sales power.On the other hand, they try to give the 3D games top treatment..they really blew their load with Mario Galaxy, that game has superb production values, awesome soundtrack, etc..while NSMB U reuses a lot of assets from other NSMB games, including the very annoying 'wah wah' music :D
It´s one of the (few) things I agree with Malstrom, when he says Nintendo 'hates' 2D Mario but truly loves 3D Mario, the evidence is all over the place.
