"Mario On Vacation With Only Topical Levlels" is sure as hell not a "traditional Mario game". Mario 3D World has many hallmarks of the classic Mario games including the Tanooki Suit, Fire Flower, Bowser levels, Galaxy-style space levels, SMB2 USA throw-backs, etc. etc. Mario Sunshine, you honestly could've just put another character in the main role and it'd be a different IP entirely. 3D World > Sunshine. Sunshine was like a mediocre version of Mario 64 with a ton of camera glitches and a rushed, unfinished final third of the game. GCN has a good F-Zero and two good Metroids, but Wii U had Splatoon, Bayonetta 2, Xenoblade X, a better Mario Kart, a better Mario 3D, a real 2D Mario, a 2D Mario Maker for good measure, and could very well have the better Zelda and Star Fox too when all's said and done. |
It sure is a traditional mario "3D" game since it's the spiritual successor of the first traditional mario 3D, Mario 64, same concept in a different setting. ( open hub with a lot of secrets, a lot of open worlds to visit and visit again from different point of views according to the sun you need to get , freedom of exploration, it's totally the same concept than Mario 64 )
Mario 3D World on the opposite has nothing to do with the traditional 3D Mario in the concept, it's more a 3D New super mario bros. So you cant compare them since they are 2 whole different games, but if you would like to compare them, Mario 3D World has no adventure, no freedom to explore without time, just go from A to B, has no big exporation, has not a lot of very hidden secrets , is far to be as long , ....Well it's really unfair to compare it.
Splatoon is nothing compared to a real big nintendo game with a big content, it's just a small game. And it doesnt make a lot of good games, without talking about the subjective " better " , it's a fact that GC had much more good exclusive games. Seriously, you cant even compare them, Wii U has not even a single metroid, a single paper mario, a single pokemon, a single good Wario Ware, a single Fire Emblem, a single good mario party( GC had 4), without talking about all the other nintendo games, and not a single great 3rd party game ( the famous Rogue Squadron 2 for example, it's totally cult, which WIi U 3Rd party game will be as much cult ? GC had so much quality 3Rd party games like Baten Kaitos, Star Wars Rogue Squadron 3, ... ) While Wii U is not even sure to get an exclusive Zelda, and Star Fox quality, we'll see, for the moment, it bring a lot of mixed reactions from previewers
Be serious, there is no comparison possible : http://www.metacritic.com/game/gamecube/metroid-prime
It's not for nothing that GC let a very good memory to everyone and considered as cult, even among profesionnal reviewers, while WIIU at the opposite...
