Not anymore, no. There's a lot of neat stuff going on here, not the least of which is freely selectable alternate characters, which were usually either just unlockable (like Luigi in Galaxy, Galaxy 2, and 3D Land), or, like in NSMBWii and U, force you to go multiplayer if you want to touch the other characters.

Edit: and the return of Peach. Such is quite exciting.

Nothing has changed. The reveal was slightly underwhelming but after i saw the developer direct i liked it more. So i am looking forward to it.

I'm very disappointed. Super Mario 3D Land is by far the worst 3D Mario.

Not at all. Mario 3D Land was great. From what I played at E3, 3D World will be a LOT better. That co-operative mode is awesome.

Microsoft: Show exclusives

Nintendo: Show Exclusives

Sony: were not doing DRM and 100 dollar cheaper and barely show anything. *CHEER!!!!!*

....lol what?!

I was/am disappointed because the epic 3D Mario in my head, which has NOTHING to do with space or water packs, is something so awesome it might just never get made. A 3D Mario 3 type game, of epic proportions and huge lands/levels to explore. Who knows if Nintendo will ever make a Mario game like that.

But to be fair, I was disappointed based on what I dreamed of, not because of what Nintendo presented. What they presented looks like a very cool, very fun Mario game that I will more than likely get, and enjoy. Is it "unambitious"? Sure. You could argue that. But will it be a lot of fun? More than likely.

I think people are making too big a deal out of the whole issue really. There's nothing stopping Nintendo from making a truly "epic" 3D Mario a few years down the road for Wii U. So for now, maybe people should just chill and enjoy what they ARE making. Or go play something else.

I think Okr summed it up pretty well. Nintendo fanbase is just hard to please. I mean lot of them don't like the new Donkey Kong game either and that is not based on a portable game. It could just be the internet though. 

"Internet rules:

- Nintendo fans, always disappointed for no reason.
- Sony fans, always excited for no reason." okr

Yes. It feels like they are pulling a character gimmick instead of giving us a true Mario game.

Well I disagree. Wii introduced more titles in its first year including Mario Galaxy than Wii U has. 

Anyways I do hope there will be a Wii U Galaxy game (or esque game), though I have a feeling we won't have a 3D Mario game of that caliber for a while.
