And still given all that it would've sold maybe 5-6 million on the Wii U. Mario 3D World is no slouch when it comes to reviews. In all honesty, Mario 64, Mario Galaxy, and Mario 3D World have a case as the three best Nintendo games of the last 20 years. Zelda: OoT and MM are probably the only other two that enter into the discussion. |
3D World's reveal was met with a surge of disappointment from gamers who felt it looked lazy and conservative. Even today, many still claim it's not a "real" or "proper" 3D Mario game. I doubt Galaxy 3 would have gotten as much backlash, the series' epic cosmic vistas and more ambitious stage design produce a more flashy, marketable image.
