With Mario Maker, what is even the point of making new Mario 2D games?

That said, 2D Mario > 3D Mario any day of the week imho

The point is good business. The sales of Super Mario Maker 2 make it clear that the majority of 2D Mario fans don't and won't accept Mario Maker as a substitute for 2D Mario games.

Having an IP on your hands that would sell definitely 20m+ on Switch and then refusing to make such a game belongs in the category of dumbest Nintendo decisions ever.

yup exactly. I'm just assuming 2D Mario in 2023, as 2022 is already stacked. Maybe the last mega seller on the Switch.

I think SMM series appeals more to creators and just the pure Mario fans skip it because they figure they aren't going to spend all this time building stages. i got it thinking i would but then i was like nah i don't feel like investing all that time into building levels. So i just play it a little bit here and there to see whatever crazy levels people have come up with. SMM and 2D Mario appeal to different fanbases. While Mario Maker is very cool its fanbase just is nowhere near the size of 2D Mario. The start of a brand new 2D Mario series on Switch would/will likely outsell Mario Odyssey.
