Dunno - it plays like regular Mario games based on the videos.

that was awesome to watch, so intense

Somebody is missing the point.....

Jusging from the comments here, it looks like it turned a SuperMario 3D World effect again Which i can agree on after seeing the footage they've shown.

It's looking already like it has the quality to be a GOTY candidate, now all it needs is the Splatoon/Mario Kart/Smash Bros. level of marketing behind it, release it in the holiday season this year and it'll do HUGE numbers!
Bundle it with the Wii U, and this could very easily be the Wii U's best holiday season.
Nintendo, don't screw this up!

Do both; a $250 Wii U with an NES paint job and Mario Maker.

Add a Splatoon level of marketing, and make sure the standalone release is not full price, and you have dynamite.

It needs more than Splatoon's marketing.  Especially - ESPECIALLY - in the states.  Better quality commercials.  And then for the love of all that's decent have the commercials on channels other than kids networks.  Older gamers would be interested in this for sure.  I mean, the nostalgia alone would bring hype. 

I guess I'm still a little giddy from seeing a Splatoon commercial before Jurassic World, something I never expected from modern Nintendo. I expected their marketing to be nonexistent for it, so just seeing an actual effort being made impressed me more than it probably should have.

Exactly what I was thinking

Lawlight always posts negative comments in any thread to do with Nintendo. He's as transparent as he is predictable.
