Like Guitarguy said, 3D world is more a 2.5D game, with a cat gimmick and is multiplayer oriented. Nothing like the Galaxy game, Mario 64 or Sunshine. this isn't the same category of games. |
I don't understand the hate you have over Mario 3D World. The gameplay is great and everytime I've played it I've had a huge smile on my face from beginning to end. I don't own it because Mario games don't really do it for me no more (and also I don't have many friends who game to play it with), but then again I never played Galaxy either.
I haven't read all the posts to this thread, maybe you address this or not, but Super Mario Sunshine for the NGC was a late comer for that console as well. I've never played that one either, but it's either a love it or hate it game for Mario fans. That being said Luigi Mansion came out as a console release game for the GC and people back then were saying the same thing about 10-12 years ago when they went a different route then...
Nintendo likes to shake up things, they have always been this way and it's a huge reason why I love them. SM3DW was made to try to bank off the success the 3DS version had, and it did alright (about 33% percent of Wii U users own this game), and also to take the series into a new direction. Shigeru Miyamoto himself has been trying to make Mario games more multiplayer like since the days of Super MARIO 64 (Originally it could have been played with 2 players simultaneously), but the N64 wasn't simply powerful enough to play it like that.
If anything, you should be happy of many of the innovations Nintendo is and continue to be doing. And no one said SM3DW is the successor of Galaxy, Sunshine, or even Super Mario 64. You are comparing a game made for casuals to a soon to be made game made for Hardcores, and that makes no sense whatsoever.
