Pretty Much My Opinions on Mario/Nintendo

Now, I'm not wanting to start any fights, but I just wanted to state some opinions of mine on the Mario series (and actually, I asked my mom about this earlier, she completely agrees with all of it).

People say Galaxy 1 is an excellent game and stuff like that, but I never really liked that game. The way the camera moves when you're walking makes it really hard to see what you're doing, and it also gives me a huge headache.

Also, I've seen people say that Mario games are literally getting easier with every game. I personally think that's a huge exaggeration. I mean, sure, they're not nearly as challenging as the original ones, but I think Nintendo is just trying to introduce Mario to players who aren't nearly as advanced as players who grew up on Mario (and I would be considered one of those players, for the record).

Another thing is, people are complaining over the friggin' soundtrack and how it's pretty much the same. Not true. They change it a little bit, but if they changed it all completely, then the whole series would probably be different.

Note; I am not saying people can't have their own opinions, and I'm not trying to start a fight about that, these are just my own, and my mom's, opinions on this.
 
Mario has been really hit or miss lately.

There's been great games like 3D Land and Dark Moon.

Then there's been some clunkers like Sticker Star and NSMB2.
 
Eh to be honest i really only play FE and some mario rpgs.

Most franchises of nintendo really bore me to death, like a lot of zelda titles.

Although i like some of the rpgs they put out im not entirely sure im a nintendo fan.

I will admit though that sm3dw does look good.

3D Land wasn't even good.

Dark Moon though was AMAZING. Nintendo needs to let Next Level Games do more stuff for them.

But yeah, 3D World is seriously, the only AMAZING 3D Mario game. The others are just ok.
 
@GP;I agree Sticker Star wasn't that great, but as for NSMB2 I'm kind of just "Meh neutral" on it.

Zae; I play a lot of other games besides Mario, too, but I still play a lot of Mario.

3D World was awesome, I can totally agree

I would if it wasnt for nsmb being a pretty bland series, i mean it almost seems like nintendo isnt even putting effort into the games.

Now sm3dw on the other hand looks like it came out pretty well with effort, as just even watching it looks fun, rather then nsmb series which always is never that appealing, whether playing or watching.

That also makes me a bit nervous on future games from nintendo like ssb4 or another FE title.

Although ssb4 is kind of a teamup with namco and nintendo i think though.
 
Having just bought 3D World, I can say that Nintendo still has some Mario magic.

I hope they put that magic into future titles.

Seriously, this was the first time I was wowed by a Mario game since the Galaxy series.
 
I used to play the galaxy series, so I really understand what you mean about that awful camera

as for them getting easier, I think they are, but I think thats a good thing, even if they are easy, assuming they take a long time to complete, you can still get as much (if not more) enjoyment out of it than a game that you have to keep retrying because its hard

I mainly just play mario kart and mario party games now days
and a lot of pc games

I dunno, it could also be people growing up, y'know. If you go back and play a classic Mario game, it would be nearly as easy as the current games.
 
I always have trouble with any that came out before gba
I'm reliant on the ability to save the progress :P
 
Eh, I don't think the ability to save makes a game any harder

That's why GBA remakes are good
