Forums - Nintendo - A theory about Mario games and where they've been and where they're headed.

Well, considering the wii's success, there should be another main mario game on the wii. This would be the first time that there would be 2 main mario games on 1 platform since the NES. Therefore, the next game could either be the SMB2 of 3-D platforming, or as you said, the Super mario world of 3-D platforming.

Sunshine for me was let down by the fact not many of Bowsers troops were featured, e.g. Koopa Troopas, Lakitus, Shy Guys. Which was a pity because I love to battle.

More Escher inspired level design. More gravity wackyness, def. more planets in levels. More bad guys, and no robots, they suck.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

Shy Guys are from SMB2, and thus not any of Bowser's troops

I think the next Mario game will be an FPS. For real.

It really hurt comparing SMB2 to Sunshine like that.  I think the games were great and people are just haters, but tried to rationalize their flawed hating.  If you're referring to other flaws, I'd love to hear them.

Well, instead of saying "diagonal step", I would have used the word "veered" and made a different analogy.

Escher inspired design would be cool. I can imagine that as the next step for Mario actually. Whats better than exploring the universe? Exploring an entirely fucked up universe made entirely of optical illusions.

Can you imagine the platforming that could be done with illusions? It'd be even more fun than playing around with gravity.

Wouldn't Super Mario Bros. 2 (Japan) be a better comparison than Super Mario Bros. 2 (Western)?

That doesn't fit his logic though, so he left it out.

 

Edit: on the other discussion of Escher, I think level like different artstyles would be cool.  Realism, Expressionist, surrealism, Cubism, Ancient and Medieval styles, wow.



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

It's the circle of life.

Anyway, I still need to play SMG.
