Mario 3D World looks garbage and Nintendo should be ashamed

[S.Peelman]

'Garbage' and 'Nintendo should be ashamed' are perhaps too harsh a words, but I'm clearly disappointed.

Is this the follow-up to the 64/Sunshine/Galaxy-line? If so, it probably won't be able to stand in the shadows of those masterpieces and will affect the WiiU's image as a whole. I really thought this was going to be 3D Land 2 when they showed it during the direct, and I got excited. Until I realized it's actually the big 3D Mario WiiU game.

3D Land on 3DS is a very good game though, discounting Ocarina of Time, I think it's the best game on the system. On 3DS however, a handheld. This game, Mario 3D World, and with it the '3D-series' should've been on 3DS where it belongs. As good as this game may be, it's not going to push the WiiU to it's limits both technologically and gameplay-wise like 3D Mario should and has done up until now.

I truly hope they'll create that great epic and worthy 3D Mario game that'll be able to stand along it's predecessors.

On the up-side, Mario Kart 8 looks awesome, I want this game now. Right now. The trailer showed Mario Kart remains the king of racers and this entry already looks to become a contender for the 'best Mario Kart game'.
