I don't dislike the style. It's not a real 3D Mario. It's an isometric Mario. It's just rendered in 3D. It doesn't act on any of the same rules or mechanics of any of the real 3D Mario games. I'm not going to stop using it because it's fact. I shouldn't even have to use "real 3D" as a term, but since so many people only understand it as such, I will continue to use it. When anyone says "real 3D Mario," everyone, including you, know exactly what games I'm talking about and what games I'm not talking about. If I can get everyone to understand exactly what I am saying in just three words, why would I change that?

OT: I don't think it's overhyped so much as misguided. There's more to it than just Mario Kart and Smash.


Except you are clearly using the term "real 3D" as a value judgement, implying that a Galaxy style game is somehow inherently greater or more impactful than the 3DL/W style. Everybody acknowledges that 3DW is different in style than Galaxy (although galaxy was different than sunshine, which was different than 64), but that does not mean it isn't "real 3D"

And the term "real 3D" is still BS, whether or not I know what you mean.
