If they could speak, they'd be saying "damn you Wii U!" Even if Nintendo had released Mario Galaxy 3 or Mario 64-2 instead, things would be no different, except maybe there'd have been a little less whineing at the E3 reveal.

The anger and disappointment at the reveal was the sound of lost sales; people who would have gobbled up Mario 64 II turned their nose up at 3D World.

I for one adore 3D World, but from a sales perspective, it was not a smart move.

Except the only people angry at the reveal were rabbid forum go-ers who bought the game anyway. I take it you still don't understand that we're the minority, a tiny one at that.

It made perfect sense as 3DLand is enroute to sell about as much or more than 64 n Galaxy so the series is clearly popular, and they probably found it was the variant best suited for multiplayer.
