Topic: Will nintendo ever make a true 3d Mario game for Wii u?

ok so nobody liked the hologram answer(even though it was the only real right one)
to me a real 3D Mario game is a mario game that isn't limited to sidescrolling(yeah even the RPGs and Kart)
a real 3D Mario platformer tome is a 3D Mario game that follows the most basic standards for 3D platformers, at least.
next 3D Mario game? Mario Kart 8
next 3D Mario platformer? don't see anything on the WiiU unless they remake some older 3D Mario platformer or make a sequel to 3D world or Galaxy 2

Can't tell you how many times I've suggested this.

I say a true Mario game must be set in the Mushroom Kingdom to be acceptable, so that means Galaxy, Galaxy 2, Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario Sunshine are all NOT true Super Mario Games!

Now, that means Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 3D Land are the ONLY TRUE 3D Super Mario games.

Too bad...my criteria trumps yours because I say so.

See how that works?

@Action51

You forgot Super Mario World. As far as I know, that doesn't take place in the Mushroom Kingdom.

I think we will see one but right now I think it's best if Mario takes a year off........ or two.....

SM3DW is fantastic but I agree there was something more special about the galaxy games for single player. I hope they'll do a SMG3 absolutely.

Mario needs to take five..................... years.

I'd be open to SMG3, but not for a while yet. They need to bench Mario for a bit.
Watch this, they'll come out with Mario Ultimate Frisbee at E3 this year, just to spite everyone.

Who knows. Usually we get one 3D Mario per system, so 3D World might be it.

I personally hope they give us another game in the same vein of Super Mario 64/Sunshine/Galaxy on the WiiU as well. I dislike that the 3D Land/World games are based around a timer. It doesn't fit in a 3D game IMO, I want to explore at my own pace and take my time with each level.

Ah, well the topic was 3D Mario games, and Super Mario World is is a 2D Mario game that takes place on Dino Island.

Of course you get that I don't really believe all that...lol...but I was trying to make a point about people using their own arbitrary criteria to exclude or diminish the value of an entry in a series.

If there is one Mario game that you could argue isn't a "true" this or that, it's Super Mario Bros. 2 US....because it's technically a Doki Doki Panic reskin and not built from the ground up as a Super Mario title.

i agree we need a new exploratory mario game. and i think personally we will get a hd remake of super mario sunshine, which i personally cant wait for as i have a lot of great memories of that game. but i think people are understating how good sm3dw actually was. i played endlessly with my gf on it. we beat every level, unlocked every secret and never got bored along the way. it is a modern day version of super mario world off the snes and it did a slap up job of being that. the gameplay was epic, smooth and precise. peopel seem to be already dropping it by the sidelines as a gap filler when in reality it was a well executed and extremely well produced game.

This.

100% this.

I personally would take an adventure mario platformer (Mario 64, Mario Sunshine) over a linear get to the goal flag Mario game (NSMB, 3D World) any day.

I liked 3D World, but I didn't love it like I did Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine (extremely under-appreciated game by the way).

No matter what, they really need to bench the 2D-style Mario games for a bit (and I include 3D World in that criteria). The U as a platform is massively over-saturated with 2D-style platformers at the moment.

you can always try the Skyrim Mario mod

Nintendo really needs to explore this style and make a 3D game out of it.

Would love to see Mario back jumping into paintings, with new power caps, and whole new stages to fully explore.

Never!

Yeah, probably.
