How in the world can u classify 3D World as an updated port, have u even played it?

The game has about 100 or so completely original levels, 4 player simultaneous multiplayer, Captain Toad side quests, brand new bosses, a handful of never before seen power-ups.

If u don't like the game or it didn't live up to ur expectations that completely fine but to say it's essentially an updated port is an incredibly stupid comment.

No I haven't played it, but that doesn't make my points irrelevant, I am perfectly within my rights on this board to voice an opinion based on what I know about a game.

I've read up plenty to know that 3D World isn't in the same league as SM64, the Galaxy games or even Sunshine was for their home platforms at the time.

3D Land is very similar to 3D world, there may be original levels designed for the Wii U, with prettier assets and of course the addition of the cat suits for added gameplay value, but it's not that all out, big Mario game to take advantage of the Wii U's features.

I'm saying I think the Wii U deserves a Mario game that will be on the same level of development as The Legend of Zelda will be.

The styling is very similar to 3D land, maybe calling it a port was a poor use of words, but I simply meant that I don't think 3D World is a good enough attempt for a mainline 3D Mario title.

I'm sure it's a fun game, I haven't played it, nor did I claim to have played it and I will buy it when I get a Wii U next year, along with Zelda, Starfox, Splatoon amongst many other games that I consider a great complement to an excellent exclusive library on the system.

Maybe remake would have been a better word to describe 3D World compared to Land, basically I'm saying that I don't consider 3D World to be Wii U's SM64, Sunshine or Galaxy 1/2. I think the platform deserves the same kind of treatment for it's big Mario release as those titles had on N64, Gamecube and Wii.

Maybe Nintendo sees things differently, but as a Nintendo fan I think it would be a shame if Wii U didn't at least get another 3D Mario title that at least tries to be on the level of the main releases on past Nintendo platforms.

I didn't mean to offend anyone that loves 3D World this much, my apologies.

Called it.

No, he explicitly said he wasn't sure what system it would end up on. He said if it was on Wii U he would like to use the features more.

Ya there is nothing wrong with wanting Nintendo to make a Mario 64/Galaxy style game on Wii U, I just had a problem with u using updated port to describe the game, even remake is a poor choice of word, saying its a sequel to 3D Land however is a completely acceptable description. They cerainly have their similarities such as artstyle, level design and game mechanics but it can't possibly be labeled port/remake/remaster because the game features all completely brand new levels and story, that by definition makes it it's own game. That would be the equivalent of saying Halo 5 is an updated port of Halo 4 or that Uncharted 4 is an updated port of Uncharted 3 because they share the same artstyle and gameplay as their predeccessors.

But seriously u should play the game before commenting on it, yes it is similar to 3D Land but like 10x bigger scale. Honestly it's like a perfect blend of 3D Land & Mario Galaxy. Maybe that's not ur cup of tea, but still an excellent game in its own right. Moral of the story, use the correct terminology to describe games

I'd say both! 3D World was still a very fun game, and much better than Sunshine if you ask me!

What did I say?
End of 2016 will the new Nintendo console release.

I hope this next Gen Nintendo Console will be at least 3 times more powerful than PS4.  End of 2016 would be perfect to be released, with a killer application like a New Mario.   Considering next Playstation and XBox will probably be released in Nov 2018/19, the new Nintendo console will have the best multiplatform games for 2-3 years,  and because of the far bigger user base by the time the new consoles will be released in Nov 2018/2019, developers/publishers will continue to FULLY support the Nintendo console till the end of its gen.  Nintendo release a New Console by the end of 2016, with a GPU capable of 6-8 teraflops and 16GB of Total System Ram !  A new Mario will be the Killer Application at Launch, and it must be huge, marvellous, a revolution !

I agree the wording doesn't explicitly mean we won't see another Mario game on WiiU, but it does make me feel less confident we'll see a new 3D Mario adventure in the 64/Sunshine/Galaxy series until the next console. Which is too bad, I want to play a game like that again.

3D World is an awesome game, and even though I think it's better than Sunshine, the game together with 3D Land is really it's own side-series that blends the 2D series and the 'proper' 3D series together. It isn't on the same level of ambition, the same scope, as Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy were. Those were groundbreaking titles and pushed boundaries for both their consoles and gaming in general.
