The system with one game alone will cost well over 400. That doesn't even include things like extra controllers. So far Nintendo has only really given me two big reasons to buy the Wii U (smash bros and Mario kart 8.). I'm not sure that's enough right now. They remade a Zelda game that still holds up extremely well (I would have been much more interested in a OOT or MM HD remake). The "3D Mario" is basically NSMB/3D land on the Wii U (will be a solid game. But gives me no real reason to buy a new system when I can play NSMB and 3D Land already). DKC is always good, but once again, why should I drop 400 plus bucks when all I'm getting is pretty much the same side-scroller with a graphics update?

Constructive Criticism at its finest. Finally something negative that doesn't just come off at someone whining like a baby.
As for me, I feel this is the start of the mountain climbing Nintendo has done. I am looking forward to 3D World; one of the levels was something that looks like it belongs in Galaxy after all. Will it make me buy a Wii U though? No (mostly because I have to watch where my money goes nowadays), Smash Bros. and Mario Kart will do that; but that doesn't mean I can't look forward to how fun this game will be.
If I buy a HD console to play a game that could have been made for 3
DS, then at the very least I want the visuals to be 'stunning' rather than adequate.
^ This! Thank you sir for being one of thr only people not blinded with fanboyism and loving the game just because its 3D Mario.
At first I did actually get a bit disappointed when I heard about this game. When I heard Nintendo was gonna make a brand new 3d Super Mario game, I was hoping for something like SM64 or Sunshine. And then this came, so I was like meh... But giving this a second thought, it doesn't seem very bad to me. After all, I did enjoy playing Super Mario 3D Land. And the new cat suit looks really appealing to me; I remember how much I used to love playing as a cat in that ol' Tiny Toons NES game. So yeah, disappoinment's gone now:)
Did you guys really think you were gonna get Super Mario 64 U?
If we did, people would've still complained about it being too much like Super Mario 64. You can't satisfy all gamers, just as you can't make everyone like you.
Pretty much. I've already seen several fellow NL users say they'd rather have a Mario Galaxy 3 then SM3DW. But even if we got that instead there still would have been grumbling and complaining throughout the community. Perhaps not quite as much, but it still would've been there.
I didn't get the chance to read all comments, but here's my input on this game. I had the chance to play through two levels as Mario in this game recently. I absolutely LOVED it. I kind of wish they kept the camera angle of Mario 64/Sunshine/Galaxy though instead of using the New SMB style, but I can see why they couldn't — multiplayer. But you get what I mean — I'm hoping the next one we get a single player (or maybe two player) Mario game and then continue on with this one as a separate series. The game played as smooth as New SMBU and looked amazing. I love how it's like SMB2 with the characters also! It flowed really well. For the first time playing, I had depth issues — I over jumped sometimes, etc but that was all on me. It sort of has the ins and outs of a 2D and 3D experience and I can't wait to buy it day one. That's my two cents, hah.

Well, not really. It's been a while since Sunshine, and we've already had 3D land and 2 other 2D Mario games recently. A game that justifies the existence of the gamepad and the expense of buying a HD console is all people are asking for. For that , Nintendo usually turns to Mario and Zelda. This game could have been made for 3DS (why is '3D' even in the title?) and Wind Waker was on the Gamecube. Looked at that way, it starts to appear quite pathetic.
This is the first Nintendo home console that my friends and I have little desire for. I do recognise the commercial arguments, but the problem is that whenever Nintendo hasn't been the key mainstream choice they have relied on a loyal fanbase, and it wont be there if they are alienated and don't even own the console. Also to consider is that they have profited by taking innovative risks before, such as the Wii.
By ignoring franchises like F-Zero and Starfox in favour of more 2D and limited 3D Mario games, they could be making a decision for short term profits rather than long term stability.

That rendition sounds so good!
What I find the most interesting, is I bet if this were an actual theme back in the 8-Bit days people would rave about how catchy and wonderful it is.

Everything sounds better in 8-bit. Maybe it should become a new scientific law?
It's just the art design. There's a lot of enemies like that with closed eyes. I think they are more likely representing the Cobrats from Mario 2. The Tryclyeds from the remakes are the same blue/green color.
The Cobrat art for BS Mario 2 have the same head. Trying to find pics atm but that game's not really that known. Yoshi, Birdo and Koopas have the same head and eye shape. Cover a Koopa's mouth looks like a short nosed Yoshi.
