Topic: Super Mario 3D World VS. Super Mario Galaxy 3

A lot of people are complaining about the announcement of Super Mario 3D World, saying "I wanted Galaxy 3!" But look at screenshots of this game. If someone saw that before E3 they would think it was Galaxy 3. I really Don't see the difference between the games besides the multiplayer aspect, and less space backgrounds. The only reason people are complaining is because of the name basically. I personally was not a huge fan of the Galaxy games, and was slightly disappointed by Galaxy 2 in particular, but I do like the look of this game so far, and the Multiplayer really sells it for me. I'm glad it's not Galaxy 3... What do you think?

Well the fact that gravity only pulls in one direction in 3D Land pretty much completely separates it from Galaxy!
Maybe that's why they made the cat suit...to climb up walls and "defy" gravity temporarily

Galaxy 3 wasn't coming anyway. 2 only exists because it is unused content from the 1st game. How many times does it have to be repeated.

I wish peeps would get over it already. Nobody is forcing you to get 3D World.

i really dont think the gravity effects added that much to the games other than visuals

completely agree

I'll admit: 3D World wasn't what I was hoping for either. But that doesn't mean I won't like it. In fact I think it looks dope. And crying about it in every thread isn't going to make 3D World into Super Mario Universe.

Not sure why people specifically wanted Galaxy 3.

The first two games had enough content to cover all the bases, people should just go play those. lol

Game still in development VS Non-Existent Game!! GO!!!!

Personally, I'm glad it's not SMG3. I played both SMG and SMG2, so it's time for something new. I never played 3D Land anyway.

People complain that Super Mario 3D World is just like 3D Land. The very same people say they were hoping for SMG3. The irony.

So true

Is collecting stars really all that important? lol

I weakly buy every Mario that they make. So to me doesn't matter I'd day one and play em both anyway lol

I personally wanted a new, unique game which was not part of any previous sub-series.

Still, 3D World is going to be a great game, just like the majority of other Mario games, as long it doesn't go the NSMB route.

3D World is a lot of fun. I hope the Galaxy series is done. With the next Mario I hope they bring back a World Hub that can be explored, such as Mario 64 and Sunshine. I believe that Hub World is what makes 3rd dimensional Mario games so much fun: exploring and finding secret levels, which gives the player a feeling of victory just by finding a level.

Super Mario 3D World. Much better to have something new than yet another Mario Galaxy game. Don't want those to become the 3D equivalent of the New Super Mario Bros series (aka every freaking 3D Mario title ever made from this point on).

Amen to this

Though this is more of what I expected anyway. There's always a better chance of them doing something like this, opposed to creating a completely original platformer like Galaxy. Games like those are hard to come by.

Amen to this as well

Galaxy 2 feels so disconnected without a hub. Not even adding Yoshi can compensate for what they did there.

yoshi was a very small part of the game anyway

Super Mario Universe will be next. Logical next step.

Super Mario Land ---> Super Mario World ---> Super Mario Galaxy ---> Super Mario Universe

Im done with space mario, while both galaxy's where a blast and fun its clearly time for something new. Also lets not forget we have sonic galaxy coming out (i keep hearing people call it lost worlds.....odd). Im curious what the next big marios theme will be, i think its safe to say the gamepad will most likely play a vital role.

as JGMR put it, super mario universe might possibly be it but i think it wont be the same in terms of in space. But rather something using the gamepad where its a worlds within worlds kind of situation.

Then for the Wii U Revolution X2, we'll have Super Mario Multiverse
