i know it has little exploration but so did galaxy.
the level structure in 3D World are very similar to mario 64 bowser stages and Rainbow cruise.
I think its better than galaxy 1 - 2 and just as good as 64.
(sunshine is the worst 3d mario by far)

Galaxy didn't have a lot of exploration, but it definitely had more than 3D World by far. Sunshine actually had the most exploration. 3D world is actually my least favorite of the 3D Marios even though I did like it alot.
On topic, Nintendo is missing an opportunity by making the MK8 bundle walmart exclusive. Dunno what the logic behind that is.

Walmart probably came to Nintendo with $$$$$$$ and Nintendo couldn't denie. Walmart probably see the potential in a bundle like this with Smash coming out. Many people who buy smash will probably be more interested in getting Mario Kart 8 than the other bundles. So it's a smart idea for them to pay a little extra to get an exclusive like this. For Nintendo, they also make a little extra on the Wii U which they desperately need.

Obviously there was some transaction. It might be money, but it aslo could involve more prominent in store placement, more real estate devoted to Nintendo, and so on. At any rate though, I don't see how Walmart could offer enough to offset the benefit of having the bundle featured at other retailers, most notably Gamestop.

It does puzzle me also, I really think it would be a good idea for Nintendo to spread this across the boards. But I would think that what ever Walmart offered them was worth the loss of sales in other stores. So they probably got offer a lot of money and some promises of floor space that they would have had to pay for. Walmart is one of the biggest retailors in the USA and probably around the world. Having promise of large amount of floor space and possibly an agreement to have the Wii U and 3DS to have large amount of space in there ads. Don't also forget that part of the deal maybe that Walmart runs and pays for an advertisement campaign promoting how they are the only one that has this bundle. It could have some big pluses for Nintendo but some negatives by only being restricted to one store.

Any sort of advertisement will be a huge plus. If there was ever any time to start advertising it's now. I mean, other than when it launched.
