| vivster said: Fair enough but I really don't see the bad here. You can expand a fairly limited premise only so many times. And I mean it's not like the new games are bad. You probably would've shit your pants if you played them first and then accused SMB3 of copying the world System of SM3DW. It's just perspective. |
Again, I don't think it's a problem when you're merely celebrating the franchise as a whole, but that's not what these games are doing. Galaxy 2 isn't celebrating Galaxy 1. Every NSMB since the first one on the DS lost the alibi that they were only celebrating the franchise. SM3DW doesn't get to celebrate Galaxy when Galaxy 2 already had its time exploiting fanservice.
And it's not just perspective. I'm not stupid. I can comprehend chronology. I understand what comes first. World used the world system too, but even in that case, it was completely visually destinct from SMB3. The ones present in NSMB, 2, Wii, U, and SM3DW are literally carbon copies of SMB3's formula. One is informed by while the other is stolen from. It's derivative, and it serves only to bury and undermine moments like this:
Where the games peek their uniqueness.
