But 3D world is suppose to sell systems and is a sequel to one of Nintendo's core franchises (3D Mario games). Forgot to add that earlier in my posts. I'm taking account of development staff, dev cycle, and sale expectation.


No, it's not. It's a new 3rd branch of isometric platformers started with 3D Land. That's like calling NSMB AAA because it sells consoles. AAA is the end product. That's it.


Okay yeah, its a sequel to 3D Land series. But it's still AAA because it was made by EAD Tokyo, had the normal 3 years dev time for Mario 3D games, and marketed as a system seller.

New Super Mario Brothers series have all of those requirements except for the development size and cost. That makes it lower than a AAA title.
