I don't get it. Why do people think NSMBUD is mediocre or bad? It's a highly polished great looking game with really good level and overworld design. It does lack genuinly grear new ideas, the bosses are the same old stuff and the soundtrack is uninspired, but apart from that it's high quality.
What's the issue? I constantly heard people dumping on it, then I got it and was genuinly surprised by it's quality. I just don't get the criticism.

I think it's like Fifa, after too much games released with the same concept some people just get bored. Something I don't like about it is the presentation, same music, art style and background

However I need to address at this point is very likely that nothing Nintendo releases will satisfy me in terms of 2D Mario, thats because I was never a deep fan even of their DS/3DS games when I already felt the New Super series was nothing but a shadow of their 80's and 90's counterparts

For me 2D Mario is already expired by definition, it's an 35 years old franchise that peaked in the early 90's and since then provided very few gameplay improvements. For a 2D Mario being worth it will need to revamp the gameplay entirely and losing it's DNA to become something else which Nintendo will never do. What do I mean by losing its DNA? Think about something like Celeste, it's a 2D side scroller but plays completely different from Mario that is an action game with accessible mechanics while Celeste is more focused on slow movement, complicated controls and high precision 

But of course, I'm a minority as the U Deluxe sold over 10 million copies after all
