Mario Wonder is not bad. It's just not generation-defining game anymore

I always found the sales of other 2D Mario on Wii amusingly high for a markert heavily skewed towards 3D action games. I believe they were mostly a reminiscent of old gamers who firstly experienced gaming in 2D, as well as kids whose first experiences were also 2D games (I was one of those kids)

But flash forward to 2024... it's a whooping 15 years since Super Mario Bros Wii release, maybe 2D games just don't have a mass broader appeal like they did in well past
