Shocked that he feels this way when in 2012 we had two New Super Mario Bros. games that released within a few months of each other. Considering there was a 2D Mario drought in between Super Mario Land 2 in 1992 and New Super Mario Bros. in 2006, maybe we've got at least a few more years to go. We could be in another massive 2D Mario drought, as we're on 9 years now (Super Mario Maker games and New Super Mario Bros. U don't count).
Maybe he also feels there's no place for Paper Mario games like the original 2 because the series changed it up (and not for the better). I want 2D Mario back, but I want some of it to feel fresh. Theme the game around artwork (like they did the starry night level in NSMBU) or add Peach, Daisy, or Wario as co-op characters. Find something fresh to do
