Topic: New Super Mario Bros 2

@skywake
That actually sounds like a great idea!

What happened to the thread about this that was around when this game was first announced? Oh well.

Anyways, my opinion has changed on this game. At first I was disappointed, the "New" brand hasn't been my favorite. Now however, I'm looking forward to see what Nintendo has done with this one. I've never played a bad Mario game, all are consistently good.

So obviously this will be a good game, but will it be excellent? Will it be memorable among the other Mario games? That's what I'm wanting to find out. Just how will Nintendo differ this game from the other "New" games? That's what's most intriguing about this game to me.

@Emaan
Great to see you've opened up your perspective.

Well yes, I can't stay disappointed with it forever, it IS Mario after all

@TwilightPoint

Oh crap i just order'd a 32gb class 10 lexar sd card for for my 3ds.

@Waveboy

Yeah when we were shown the game, and the screenshots...looked just like stuff from the first game...or was I completely missing something? I'm so confused T-T

I'm feeling the same way, I wish Nintendo would try something new with the 2D games, but I'm still excited for this game nonetheless.

Wait till you see it in motion.

I am looking forward to this game, but I do feel like they are trying way too hard to recreate different things from old, great games. The tail for example...I feel like they are pushing the fact that they have brought it back to the extreme, like they are trying to lure old Super Mario Bros 3 fans in with the power up. It just doesn't feel quite as original as what they used to come up with.
I feel this way about Super Mario Land 3D as well. It was a good game but....they could have done just a little something more with it...kind of felt like I was on little islands in the middle of nothing on every level too. Not much of a World.

Well people have been asking for it... and they got it.

Don't get me wrong though, I like it when some old favorite things pop up...but I feel like they are trying to purely run off of their past victories, ya know? Advertising like, nothing but Mario with that tail for Mario 3D Land. If they were going to reference the past with it, I wish they would have with the lesser known, but still interesting worlds of the other Land games.

@Joshers744 I agree with you. 3D Land was just a collection of little platform levels, and that's it. Pity. And, even though it's a Mario game, I'm still not excited. However, if the difficulty could at least be a bit higher...

Whhhaaaat. It was bright, colorful, vivid, and clean. I loved that game's graphics.

I thought the DS one was ugly lol. Wii one was Felt like a 3D model version of the old sprites.

@WaveBoy, I would love a hand drawn style!

I thought the Wii one looked horrid, haha. That art style is definitely not suited to all of the screen space the game needed.

well this will no doubt be my first retail download

I don't know if I would go to download for this one, but that is my personal opinion. I want to be able to share it among my brothers and sisters without having to leave them my system. As for the hand drawn art, that would be brilliant. I loved a Boy and His Blob, and Rayman Origins style and would definitively want Nintendo to do something similar. Either way though, I want this.

Still unsure whether I want to download or not but,I wish they would change the art style even just a bit.I loved hand drawn games like Rayman Origins and SkullGirls.

IDK if you noticed, but in the Winter Themed Screen Shot, there was ornaments on the Pine Trees in the background? Do you think we may get a little different themed winter world this time?
