Ok but leave the galaxy aside please.

i hope the 3D one is not Galaxy themed, make it in Mushroom kingdom!


And stop padding out the levels by making us play them five times each just to see the ending. I took it from 64, save for the last two levels when the carpet rides and waiting for the right clock times turned tedious, but it got really annoying in Sunshine. What really sets the 2D Mario games apart is you can replay the levels, but there are a lot more, and you only have to play most of them once (and that's not even taking warp zones into account).

The difference between 64 and Sunshine was that you got access to 15 stages plus some bonus ones, but needed only, what, 75 stars to get to the last world? You didn't need to clear out all six stars in every stage to hit the end. In Sunshine you needed the core 49 (50 including that one you have to do at the very beginning) to proceed, so it felt more forced, because shines you got outside the core 49 didn't count towards your total (so if you had fifty, but three of them were blue coin shines, that's too bad)

Yeah, and in Sunshine you could only collect one particular shine during a playthrough of a stage, which, coupled with the fact that the shine missions were presented in a set order, meant there was no freedom in what missions you wanted to complete, either.

Galaxy had virtually no repetitive padding, though. The levels had one setting, yes, but the stars generally set the player on unique paths that explored different planetoids within that setting. Galaxy's green stars were unadulterated padding, though it was optional.

I don't know why, but I'm so happy Miyamoto said all this.

I love Nintendo.

It's to make up for all the Wii and DS hating. They are making us want it threefold to punish them for doubting (even if you and I didn't).



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Good. I will buy both. I really hope they give the 2D one a damn personality though. The NSMB games are good but they completely lack the magic of SMB 3 and World.

- in 2D Mario..."It's difficult to tell when they will hit the player, so we were only able to use these (depth visual tricks) lightly. However, we'll be able to use this type of thing quite a bit on the 3DS."

No, those people just are fucking pathetic at videogames if they can't jump on a 3D goomba.

I guess Malstrom will have to buy one then...he thought there would be no 2D Mario on the 3DS.

Ah, but he also opposes Nintendo for making more 3D Marios.  Unstoppable force, meet immovable object!
