That's definitely why I wasn't interested. The SMB 1-3 and SMW all had very distinct art and music styles, whereas the New SMB series has 4 games with the exact same art and exact same music. It just got boring to look at and listen to--both pretty important things in this medium.
Splatoon, on the other hand--I'm not sure the world they created lends itself very well to having it's style changed. It's style is one of the most gripping things about it.
