Its a "placeholder" game. Well its not the real deal at least. Real marios since Mario64 have larger scale with exploration aspects and also lack the stupid TIMER mechanic (which would just annoy people when they should explore etc).

Nintendo made NSMBU because it was the easiest to make and 3DWorld was the next step. Its simple yet more complex than NSMB and the new "real" Mario game will follow. Nintendo just played it save on a console with small userbase.

I am also pretty sure Nintendo pushed DonkeyKong to 2014 because the small userbase would have to choose between mario and DK. And releasing both platfromers for xmas 2013 would well hurt DK sales alot I guess.


Nintendo probably thinks this game alone can take the holidays. Whether this is true or not, time will tell.

 

Along with the bundles I would say it was a good move "delaying" DKCTF, as much as I want it,I have to say it was a good business move


I don't think so.  If it was a normal holiday season then maybe, but with 2 huge consoles launching this holiday season they need as much exclusive games out as they can get.  I don't think they choose to delay DKCTF, I think they didn't have a choice because the game wasn't gonna be done in time.
