I still finished them, because I think those are still very well made games and deserve to be given a chance. Still don't really enjoy any of them after the first though. |
I had only played the Wii one, which was a ton of fun. And now I got the Wii U port on Switch and its kinda meh. I'm pretty disappointed in it. I played it then went to play the NES ones on the Switch and I was like man the NES games just feel so much better. I don't know if the NSMB games are just too similar so the fun kinda dissipates after you've already played through one game exactly like it or what. I mean if you look at all other Mario games 2D and 3D they only ones that are at all similar (at least in the West where SMB2 was a whole different game, but in Japan it was basically an updated SMB1) outside of the NSMB series is Galaxy and Galaxy 2. NSMB just feels played out now. The DS and Wii ones were so good but got stale after those initial ones, they definitely need to launch a new Mario 2D series, unless they are just gonna have Mario Maker be the 2D series now, but I sure hope they create a fresh 2D series.

Yeah I feel the same about Smash. Smash has been incredible since Melee, which has been the standard bearer for the series up until Ultimate. So pretty much all they could do since Melee is tweak things, add online play, add more characters and content, and mess around with different kinds of single player modes. So mostly its just been about adding content and as the name suggests, the latest one is the Ultimate version for Smash content. They can't possibly add more characters, levels, etc than Ultimate has. I mean Ultimate already has too much - there is so much content it is kinda even hard to play the game, like even just trying to find a specific level is hard! Listening to the creators when the game came out, it seemed to me they were saying they know they have to change the series after Ultimate in some way because they've literally done the Ultimate version of what Smash has been going towards since its inception. With how popular Smash is I can't imagine they'll skip releasing a new one next gen, but I also can't imagine they continue on with the same style that they've already done the ultimate version of.
