Topic: No "New Super Mario Bros game?"

I prefer 2D Mario to 3D Mario and would buy NSMB Switch in a heartbeat.

Mario Maker is really not a substitute for a proper 2D Mario because few people have Nintendo's skill and eye for quality. Not to mention the chore of weeding through the massive amount of trash levels and levels that played themselves trying to find the occasional gem.

If they bundled all the SNMB games into an "All Stars Collection" I'd prob plomp down some loot for it.

Super Mario Maker is the best 2D Mario game I played, and I like the New Super Mario Bros. graphics as well, but I think they've overdone it a little.

We only got one Super Mario World style game, even though they could easily have made a trilogy (Yoshi's Island doesn't count). We also got only one Super Mario Bros. 3 style game, even though they could have build on that series too.

But we got 4 games with New Super Mario Bros. style graphics. It's the point where a bunch of people seem bored by the graphics as they expect more variety from 2D Mario games.

I too wonder what comes after "New", but I wouldn't mind a fifth game for Switch, especially if its called Super Mario Maker 2.

Is there like a list of awesome levels you should download in Mario Maker? I got the 3DS version when it was on sale but I can't be bothered to spend hours trying out various levels.

@Dezzy for as far as I know there's no way to manually select a good level. All the levels I run into are crap. Unfortunately I've learned about that too late, otherwise I never would've bought the game...

There's supposed to be a way to download only levels that have received Nintendo's stamp of approval, but either the feature doesn't work as advertised, or the folks at Nintendo have a fondness for terrible levels.

If they go back to making more Mario platformers they should do something completely new. New Super Mario Bros and 3D world weren't awful but it felt like the same game without new inventive concepts. I'm glad Super Mario Odyssey exists because it had more exploration and had a different formula. It felt different from the stuff we had gotten in recent years.

I loved the first NSMB on DS, but haven't played the follow-ups, so I wouldn't mind a new game in the series, as long as it isn't lazy.
