New Super Mario Bros. 2

[Propeller Toad]

Haven't we had enough SMB3 references in the recent Mario games?

Anyways, this game really does remind me of the original NSMB (even more so than NSMB Wii). It's nice to see Raccoon Mario making a reappearance (especially since the recent comeback of Tanooki Mario).

I really hope that we see more playable characters this time around aside from Mario and possibly Luigi (though the chances are obviously still low)...

I am disappointed that this game is not based off of SMB2. At least bringing back the game's original cast of the four playable characters would be nice to see for once.

I wonder if the koopalings will back again?

I do but only if Bowser Jr. appears.

I hope the world maps aren't horizontal and more like the maps in NSMBW like the cliff and desert

I had a feeling that this would happen, but I didn't know they would make a direct sequel to NSMB.

And YES RACCOON MARIO IN A NEW SIDESCROLLER

I hope they don't base it too heavily on SMB3, though. 3D Land was enough.

Yeah I think we've had enough of SMB3.

Yeah I think most people are tired of smb3 spam.

jebus why is everyone hating on SMB3 so much

probably because its being constantly used over the years, both for official games and fangames, and quite frankly.

It's a bit tiring and everyone and their mother knows Nintendo can do better.

I agree, I literally groaned in disappointment when the wiki article said that it will be based on Super Mario Bros. 3. I mean come on, Super Mario 3D Land WASN'T enough?

I'm not crying Ruined FOREVER, but there is a problem with this game. It's for the 3DS, so why is it a sidescroller? I dislike the recent trend of making 3D games more linear, and now it seems that 3D main series games may have died out. I'll probably be proven wrong at E3 2013, but still...

 

[Xiahou Ba]

Well there's nothing wrong with a sidescroller, however, they could have angled the levels different so you can see the 3D floor (ala Kirby's Return to Dreamland) for a better 3D effect

 

[Ultraluigi]

I like sidescrollers, but the 3DS's main gimmick is that it's 3D.

I like sidescrollers, but the 3DS's main gimmick is that it's 3D.

And a sidescroller can't produce a 3D affect?

 

[Magikrazy]

I'm excited for this game, but I'm also disappointed because I dislike the recent trend of 3D games becoming more like the 2D games. It's the 3DS, so why isn't the game 3D?

Well, the sprites and models are still in 3D, and the "3D" in the 3DS refers to the effect of the objects popping out of the screen, as the DS already had 3D sprites and models. Also, NSMBWii and Yoshi's Story were 2D games made for 3D consoles, and look at them.

Did you read this, UltraLuigi?
