Option 4. It would been nice to have Galaxy 2, but in the end its Nintendo who makes the decisions, not the fans. I've never played it before, so I would've liked to have it alongside the rest of the collection, but not a lot of people like Galaxy 2, so I respect the decision that was made.

  • I disagree with the decision because I think that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is important to the series' legacy and deserved to be included.

I hope someone, somewhere, with a doctorate in Nintendo of America or Europe.. or Japan with Google Translate.. is seeing this overwhelming response of Nintendo f'd up.
 
Alright, alright, that's enough talk about 3D All-Stars. Let's look ahead to the future, and talk about mobile apps.


What do you want to see in a new Mario smartphone app?
  • I would like to see a new game that improves on an existing Mario app's gameplay
  • I would like to see a game based on a main sub-series that is yet to receive an app
  • I would like to see a spin-off series' game such as Yoshi or WarioWare
  • I would like to see more new Mario apps based on any sub-series
  • I would like to see an app that makes use of the Mario world, but offers new gameplay which doesn't resemble an existing subseries
  • I'd like to see a social app, like Miitomo
  • I'd like to see a different non-game app
  • The apps we have now are fine; future games should be only on Nintendo consoles
  • I think Mario should have remained strictly on Nintendo consoles in the first place

For myself, while I really think that I want to go with option eight because I prefer console games to mobile games, I think, being realistic, I have to go with option four. While it might be watered down, I'd take a Warioware smartphone app, but I also think you could... very easily take the Minion Quest/Bowser Junior's Journey model and make those into a smartphone app...
 
I'm... not exactly sure about this one, but I think option 8 is the one that fit the most with how I feel. Like, I don't mind if there are Mario smartphone apps, but I don't care at all for them? I prefer console games.

Although, I have to agree that a WarioWare game would fit well as a smartphone app.

Option 9,

While I actually quite liked Super Mario Run, as a whole Nintendo has shown to overall be incapable of making mobile games without adding something immoral, which, in the case of most post-SMR mobile games, are lootboxes. i would rather resources be put into making console games than ones with predatory lootboxes.
 
honestly, super mario run was the only genuinely good mario app imo. like, mario kart tour can be fun, but the gacha ruins it, and while i havent played dr mario world, it has lootboxes so i can tell that its just more of mkt. while they're not inherently bad games, they're kinda fundamentally flawed, and i hope nintendo steps away from this rabbit hole. i havent played mario run in a hot minute, but I dont remember it having gacha of any kind, not even microtransactions if im not mistaken. on top of that, it did something really cool with 2d mario that I hope future mario games in general do more often. the new mechanics like the vault and stuff like that makes it quite a good autorunner. I know mkt also did something unique by making mario kart more score based, and that's cool, but I don't think it should be used for future mario kart games. it feels like a mobile exclusive thing. I dont see whats wrong with making a full fledged mario game on mobile, one that DOESNT REQUIRE AN INTERNET CONNECTION!!!!! basically, i like that nintendo is trying to expand their market by putting their games on non-nintendo consoles, but i wish we had more ACTUAL mario games on mobile, games that could work just fine on a console.
 
I want a game without predatory monetary systems. That is all.

It's a low bar to cross but that's the bar they put themselves into.
 
Option 9. I wasn't initially opposed to the idea, and I still think Super Mario Run is a fun game, but it didn't take long for Nintendo to dive into the world of microtransaction-filled gambling apps after they specifically said they wouldn't. I have no desire to see any more apps from them.
 
This option: "I would like to see an app that makes use of the Mario world, but offers new gameplay which doesn't resemble an existing subseries" (This is option 5, by the way)

I am open to Nintendo exploring new ways for existing series to play, such as Dr. Mario World which I think offers a solid alternative to the traditional gameplay even if not everybody is open to the idea (to my surprise, there are people who just wants a traditional Dr. Mario on smartphones). Super Mario Run is another game that is a twist to an existing series even if I haven't really delve into the game myself. Therefore, I think a game that does not resemble the traditional offerings are a welcome change.

Thank you for reading.
