Shigeru Miyamoto's crazy take on side-scrolling 2D Mario

Mario 3D has put up massive sales numbers on the Switch too, far higher than any previous 3D Marios, so they probably also feel like 3D Mario is more accessible now and/or the audience has grown to the point where they have been raised on 3D Mario and it's not as big of a deal.

Mario Odyssey has sold 22 million copies and continues to sell, that's 2D Mario range numbers especially because Odyssey really has not been bundled heavily with the Switch at all.

Mario 3D All-Stars selling like 10 million copies in a very limited time is pretty crazy too, then you have Mario 3D World selling 7.5 million copies in just a few months. There isn't as much of an aversion to 3D platformers anymore it doesn't look like, these are big numbers. 

Probably in part why Kirby is finally getting a open world 3D platformer now too. 

I wouldn't mind a new 2D Mario but they really need to change some things, the "New" series is dated and bland. 

They need to man up, grow a pair and make New Old Super Mario Cousins.
