So yeah it really is the 3DLand/NSMB series on Wii U.

 

It's just the 3D Land series on Wii, which is completely different to NSMB. There are three different types of Mario game, this is the middle tier.

 

Give me the '3D' type over NSMB any day!

Yeah, well what can we do, they decided to do 3D-land style game over a proper 3D-Mario now. I just wonder what's the reasoning here, Nintendo thinks this will sell better than an HD, innovating-like-Galaxy Mario would do? Now that would make me buy the system (if I didn't have it), 3D World no.

 

I really wonder what's going on at Nintendo. It seems as if their creative, collective brain is totally frozen now, and they just churn out something really safe because they can't think of anything else. It's really weird...

Didn't Galaxy sell relatively disappointing numbers, and didn't 3D Land sell really well?

 

3D World leans far more towards Galaxy than NSMB anyway.

Galaxy 1 sold around 10m units, which is about the same as Super Mario 64 did...Sunshine did worse at 6m. Galaxy 2 managed to bring in just 7 million

 

Super Mario 3D Land has reached 8.3m and is still climbing

Does it?

 

Galaxy has imaginative themes for it's worlds. Expansive levels and Stars.

 

Where as NSMB has the traditional Mario themes and the 4 playable traditional Mario characters. Both of which are present in Super Mario 3D World. Same with the flagpole's and countdown timer.

 

I'd say this game was on the 3DLand-NSMB side of things than the 3DLand-Galaxy side of things.

My brother hasn't shown much, if any, interest in my Wii U since he generously bought it for me at Christmas. However, having walked into my room yesterday while I was watching the Developer Direct of Super Mario 3D World has somehow convinced him to pick up a Wii U, Nintendo Land and New Super Mario Bros U today on his lunch break :eek:

 

It's working, Nintendo :bouncy:

I guess it depends what vibe you personally feel. I just see things like this which scream Galaxy rather than bland NSMB.

It's obviously a mixture of both but to me it feels much closer to the former, regardless of a timer or flag pole.

There has already been confirmation it's in the game, maybe it wasn't from there, but I've heard someone say it.

 

IGN [i think] confirmed the Frog suit too the other day.

 

I was just joking Retro.

 

What with Reggie shouting at Geoff last year regarding Batman "It's a new game Geoff".
