Nintendo has stated that the game will be "pick up and play" and easily accessible to players of all skills levels. That is a VERY bad sign to Mario gamers who love challenge. I hate that 3D Land was the easiest Mario game to date!

Were the Special Worlds easy?
 
Not for the average gamer it seems but I love the lost levels and beat them so many times that anything less than that seems easy. How could it not? According to Newtons Law, if you can beat a harder game, then you can beat an easier one no sweat. Donkey Kong Country Returns was the only platformer from recent times that can rival my skill level consistently.

But with Nintendo basically admitting it will be easy, I feel like saying, "Not this shit again!". And of course, Wario won't be in it, he can't be a boss even, because the world would end as we know it in Miyamoto's eyes if a developer even thought of including him. He even hates Luigi, and only includes him because he is literally FORCED to do so. Anything he did not create he views most odiously. Really has serious problems. I'm begining to think that Miyamoto should retire. Sure, he created the thing I love the most, but that's like saying because your father created you that gives him liscense to abuse you. I think the series would be far better off without Miyamoto. He is halting progress, and he is out of his mind. Young kid Mario fans have more imagiation and could write better stories than what we get, because of a man who fears the slightest deviation from the decades tired formula would mean the start of World War III.
 
I can agree with how Miyamoto has apparently been limiting the series, but you're being harsh on him. You're only judging him based off of difficulty. That alone does not make a game. Yes, he's stubborn and it gets annoying, but he at least knows how some of the assets the gameplay and characters could work, even if it's not the way we prefer it. Look at Skyward Sword, when he was handed the prototype, he made the development team restart from scratch. Also, you claim that he hates Luigi, but why would he himself set up development for Luigi's Mansion 2 when it was clearly not necessary and he had other projects under his belt? Also, Newton's theory is really just a load of bull, since it is not possible for one experience to therefore judge the result of all of your future trials. Guess what, I beat DKCR fully and collected the Puzzle Pieces and KONG Letters in my first run of the worlds, yet I sometimes still find myself dying numerous times at Ludwig's castle in World 7 on NSMBW and difficulty facing the Kirby boss on World 4 in Return to Dream Land. If you can get find all of your future experiences always easy if its under the previous difficulty level, then fine, good for you. But don't act like that's the same result for everybody.

Seriously, are you a bit tense or something, because I think you're kind of over-exagerating the topic.
 
I think it should have a good difficulty but not lost levels and not Kirby's Epic Yarn difficulties.

Epic Yarn had difficulty?
But yeah, this is what I would like. I want it to be just a bit more challenging/original than New Super Mario Bros. Wii, which I love as it is already. I definitely don't want Lost Levels though.
 
I've found that the main story is usually easy but that the extra parts such as the Green Star Challenge in galaxy 2 or unlocking the world nine levels in NSMBW are actually quite challenging.

Just because you couldn't die in Epic Yarn doesn't mean it doesn't have difficulty. It's really hard for some levels to get gold medals and some challenges (such as Beadrix's) are hard.

I don't really give a crap about difficulty as long as the level designs are great. But seeing how the worlds have the same themes, I'm starting to doubt the level design
