Top 5 - 10 - 20 Mario Disappointments.

wow

I knew Nintendo was going downhill
 
Pretty sure they've been always like that, especially how overprotective of their property they can be.

We're supposed to have a freaking Mario Archie Comics (as well as Kirby and Metroid) but nope, they're dead.

Every time I bring this up, I get so depressed.

P.S. Add that to one of the Top 5 - 10 Mario disappointments. This one pretty much is in my Top 5.
 
That sounds great

Oh, and one more thing that'll taint your image of Nintendo: racism! It's probably one of the reasons we're getting a cancer of Mayro vs. Kondey Kong games. So yeah, make that another Mario-related disappointment if y'all don't like Mayro vs. Kondey Kong.

I'm even more depressed.

Let's Play/reviews Youtube revenue (including the shitty content program or something), taking down video content pertaining to modded games to "promote" Super Mario Maker, suspected handling of Project M, taking down fan projects such as Super Mario 64 HD, (previously) handling of the amiibo, general copyright asshattery, etc.

Given, they're not as bad as other companies, but that's probably the nicest thing I can say to them

That's when Nintendo are starting to be dicks to their fans. This is why Angry Joe and Pewdiepie got pissed off. What's up with Nintendo's mind? They even took down SMBX.
 
The fact Nintendo seems to have abandoned the Wario land series.

That and Wario world never got a sequel.
 
-No Waluigi games
-The original Mario & Sonic game on Wii
-No Non-Linear Mario games since Sunshine (I do consider the Galaxy linear)
-The minigames in Tennis Open
-No 2 Vs 2 mingames in Party 9

Super Mario Bros. 2: The Lost Levels

This game is nothing more than just a rehash of the original Super Mario Bros. It is a carbon copy, it has far less originality in it. It has brought some differences in Mario and Luigi. It's basically SMB1 with a harder difficulty and challenge.

I disagree with this so much and it bugs me when people only see it as a series of unfair, challenging platforming levels when it is so much more. The game plays off tropes and expectations set from one game and then turns them upside down.

Examples:
Expectation: Leaping over a pit and falling like a normal jump. Actuality: End up caught in wind.
Expectation: Normal-sized fire bar in Bowser's Castle. Actuality: Fire bar that's twice the size which traps you, killing instantly (also, iirc it faces right when you first load the screen so it looks like the regular one until it is too late).
Expectation: The world exit to be at the end of the right-hand side of the level. Actuality: Exit is in the clouds which you can only reach from a beanstalk.
Expectation: One Bowser in the Bowser's Casle. Actuality: Two Bowsers.

There's so much innovation in the game and its crazy how they were able to do it after only one title.



Biggest disappointment for me was Super Mario 3D Land because it threw away everything that made Super Mario 64 is a God among video games and replaced it with what seems like every rejected, broken idea they had for Super Mario 64.
 
Here is another disappointment:

Laziness and monotony.

Sometimes Mario games do tend to be lazy and monotonous and lack of creativity.
