@Cosats You're moving goalposts, pal.

@1UP_MARIO They did that with every NSMB game. New features, new mechanics, new music, etc. I'm not sure if you know what you're looking for in a 2D Mario game.

@RickD Define what "original 2D Mario content" is, please. Does it pertain to anything with the gameplay?

@Vriess No price gauging in re-releasing a game with extra features. You are acting entitled.

@WaveBoy Seems like you don't really want a good 2D platformer, you just want nostalgia-pandering.

Change for the sake of change isn't very good. The aesthetics are not a good reason to dislike a game, and changing the game to 2D sprites isn't going to do favors for Mario.

@1UP_MARIO What qualifies as "new" to you?

@sleepinglion The original game launched with just NSMBU for $60. This package comes with the original game and New Super Luigi U, with new playable characters.

That's not really lazy, nor is that "little to no content".

Where is Celeste?

@Heavyarms55 You can shut up and leave now.

@Dman10 Do you want something new? Then buy Labo, that's as original as it can get.

@shoeses The anime only got worse from there.

@weisske How to make an entire comments section go crazier: mention Jesus

@SalvorHardin You don't have any idea what you're talking about, do you?

@EasyDaRon What's so bad about the art design? Can you explain in detail the flaws of the models, backgrounds, etc.?

You (and several others) are also acting rather entitled to demand the game for cheap. Plenty of remasters get charged at equal price as the originals, and this NSMBUDX is no exception.

@Mana_Knight Sonic Mania Plus was essentially DLC for those who already had the original, that's why it was $5. You couldn't do that if you tried buying the game physically.

@Mr_Pepperami Maybe you've just outgrown the game? You ought to take a break if that's the case.

@justin233 Totally unnecessary and a waste of money. Change for the sake of change is not a good thing.

@Cronopi Were you unhappy when Galaxy 2 was released? That game borrowed heavily from the first game.

Seems like you don't really want a 2D Mario, you just want nostalgia pandering. That would actually be the lazier route if they made a derivative of SMW.

@BMO_Advanced There are plenty of things that Mario Maker can't do that the original games have. This is especially the case with NSMBU.

@RainbowGazelle May you elaborate your problems with the aesthetics, music and controls? I thought they were done very well.

@justin233 Why?

@NintoRich Well maybe you should reconsider what "shovelware" actually is

@Spoony_Tech @Alucard83
Do you guys even know what a "tech demo" really is?

@Balta666 Agreed. NintendoLife is pointing out the truth. If that makes them "Trump-esque", then better to be that than to have the mentality of @Mogster

@Anti-Guy You must've been unhappy with Ultra Sun/Moon sales then, a game with even less effort by Game Freak.

@FuzzyPickles94 And Pokémon Black and White proceeded to be the lowest-selling new gen games worldwide despite having the greatest install base it launched to, surpassed by only Black and White 2.

You shouldn't omit this. The first week sales do not say everything.

@Benexcelsior You seem upset.

@Crono1973 Precisely! If you have no interest in a game, then you shouldn't review it. Objections?

@irock @Crono1973 Quite the contrary, Game Freak has called Let's Go a main game. Anyone who says otherwise are in denial or are intentionally deceiving others.

@Onkel_Laser On the contrary, Pokémon Let's Go has provided bigger changes from any previous games. That's certainly not a "lazy cash grab", and many people are having fun with the game.

Get over yourself.

@Kevember @Crono1973 No one is forcing you to buy the game. If you don't like Let's Go, don't buy the game and shut up. Never mind that your "hardcore" game gets released next year.

@Preposterous So just like every other Pokémon game. Why single out this one?

@Wintersoulis Don't be so selfish. You're displaying the same childish behavior as the review bombers.

Nintendo shouldn't listen to the whiners.

@Bolt_Strike It seems that you haven't played the game. It's full of life and filled with content. Give it a shot.

@Crono1973 No, because whining doesn't solve anything. Instead, vote with your wallets. The people have spoken, and Pokémon Let's Go has been well-received.

@Almighty-Koz How about you man up and lose your phobia for motion controls? Get over yourself.

@Krest_arisen Pokémon Let's Go actually makes some of the biggest changes the series has ever had. Maybe you're just not a Nintendo fan?

@MoonKnight7 Let's Go is a real Pokémon game, that's the thing.

@Jingo_Unchained Getting offended is a choice, and that's precisely what the SJW's made in the case of Mr. Game & Watch.

@thesilverbrick You didn't read the article, did you?

@NotTelevision The extent of thought in the U.K. is: Ball + Kick= Good. Go Buy.

See, I can do something similar.

@TheGhostWhoWalks A bit salty you are aren't you? Get over yourself.

@Octane You think having to go back to the Pokémon Center is good design? We have no need for artificial difficulty in games.

@Kiyata You won't be missed.

@EasyDaRon Don't be so petty. The art style is very nice. Certainly isn't "photoshop quality".

@KIREEK I take it you don't consider a laptop as portable?

The Switch also has as much battery life as the 3DS, not less.

@Toph6661 What is "proper Pokémon" to you?

@retro_player_22 They're called New Super Mario Bros. Give 'em a shot.

@Schizor88 You're going to end up disappointed. If Nintendo and Game Freak get even 1% of the total downloads of Pokémon GO, that's several million there.

@Spectra What you're saying is like saying that a Mario Odyssey collector's coin is $60, while ignoring the game that goes with it.

It's also strange to see many Pokémon fans be totally fine with buying both versions of the game, why start complaining about the Poké Ball Plus now?
