The game didn't sell systems because Nintendo treated 2D Mario like trash. Despite the series selling insane numbers on Wii and DS, Nintendo didn't put any care into the 3DS and Wii U games, basically copy-pasting the formula that was established with New Super Mario Bros. on the DS. And quickly after the release of the Wii U game, they released Mario 3D World and pushed that with huge amounts of marketing. Nintendo needs to put the care and production values of 3D Mario into the 2D games and the series will sell like sliced bread again. 2D Mario (if done right) is still Nintendo's biggest and most iconic franchise - but people won't put up with sub-par quality and the same recycled formula over and over again. |
Well Wii U version looked like Wii version just in HD, and I actually think that game is one of reasons why people thought that Wii U is some kind of addon for Wii. Nintendo was right to push Mario 3D World but unfortunely game come out on Wii U when console was already considered for fail in time when PS4/XB1 were launched. If Nintendo had Mario 3D World instead NSMBU for launch of Wii U, things could be difrent for Wii U. Nintendo needs to stop releasing NSMB series, they released too much NSMB games and they are all too similar, they need new kind of 2D Mario or Mario Maker.
