No.

If SM3DW wasn't Mario it wouldn't have sold what is has or reviewed as well. Mario sells because it is Mario and most reviewers drop their standards for Nintendo games and give them a free pass because it has become expected of them and has been for a long time.

and because of nostalgia factors.  

With a Nintendo game in an established franchise it's "It's the same formula with new levels, but isn't that what you want?"

With another game it's "In the end it's too similar to previous iterations to warrant being called a truly great game."

I agree with the nintendo factor. I sometimes see these games in motion and it all looks like a copy and paste level to level to me. But on topic. No. Most 2D games I pay below $40. no more. 

Either I wait for it to drop in price, or if its priced right. Puppeteer was pricer PERFECTLY.
