Is this the last SM3DL power-up? If yes, then I am a disappoint fellow.

Am I the only one who has a feeling that we will get another Mario platforming game later on in the 3DS's life span?

@carson
If you've played one Pokemon, you'vs played them all.

@StarDust

Nah, I'd rather keep Mario Mario. Level editors aren't what I play Mario games for, and if I wanted a level editor, I can get LBP.

@wariowoods

To me, and lots of other people who prefer 2D Mario to 3D Mario, the series is truly evolving to our tastes with SM3DLand. I like Super Mario 64, and Sunshine, but both of these games, especially Sunshine, can't compare to, say Super Mario World. Galaxy was a step in the right direction, and this is 2 steps. Plus, this is on a handheld, and I don't think handheld Mario titles bring the series forward or backward, all they do is collect fun elements of Mario game for little chunks of fun on the go. And they are evolving 3D Mario, by inspiring you to return to stomping and hitting blocks, which, IMO, is much much better than exploring around. My only gripe with SM3DLand is that it looks too easy.

And if anything, the next 3D Mario hub should be like Super Mario 64. Sunshine's is too big, and Galaxy's is too empty.

@warioswoods

Don't forget that this is on a handheld. The last thing I wanna do when I'm in the bus is waste my time getting to the level. It is better fitting for a handheld to jump straight into the action.

@RetroEagle
True, but you're being far too simplistic. It is more complicated than that; It is fairly obvious that Wind Waker and TP come after OoT.

@dimlylitmonkey

Hylians are humans, from Hyrule. I am a human, from Canada, thus I'm a Canadian. They can't be called Hylians in the game, because I don't think Hyrule has been named yet.

@NintyFan

Well said. I agree.

^ I hope the Luigi statue indicates something.

My question has been answered! Anyway, I'm skeptical about the difficulty in this game, as what we've seen looks really easy. I'm also worried that the game wouldn't have as much content as NSMB, which had multiplayer, and awesome minigames. Otherwise, the game looks really good, but it seems that it was rushed for a 2011 release, unlike NSMB, which came out a full two years after the DS was released.

I hope it indicates something good!

Who cares about maps? All I care about is if the levels are accessible and if the map is easy to memorize. SMG2's map was pretty good for people like who who want to jump straight into the level without having to explore around.

Maro should have a brother named Lugi

That's amazing!

@Tasuki

Miyamoto said that he plans on making the 3D matter, while not making 2D players feel left out. The game will be enjoyable in 2D as much as 3D.

Does EB Games Canada count?

^Don't say the U word. >: (

Also, Vita? Really? I was planning on buying one, and was highly anticipating it, but I lost my interest after TGS. Most of the good games it has are also coming to the PS3, which I already have.

One second, didn't Nintendo's stock rise 9% when they announced their conference?

I hate it when people say that all the 3DS has is Mario games.
Mario Kart- Racing game.
Mario 3D Land- Platformer
Paper Mario- RPG
Luigi's Mansion 2- (I have no idea what genre it belongs to but it's different, ok?)

They're all so DIFFERENT!

The visuals are impressive.

I saw this and nearly shat my pants.

sold sold sold sold.

I hope it's just a thing for Monster Hunter and that's it.

I'm starting to think that Iwata is high or something.

Anyway, why is that Circle Pad so small compared to the regular one.

Interesting.....

I have NO idea what it's gonna be, which is awesome. Low expectations ftw.

I wonder if Europe is getting a different boxart.

Best. Video Game. Cover. Ever.

@Mandoble Dat touch screen at the bottom.

Anyway, forgive me if I'm being dumb, but what makes us so sure that this new Monster Hunter would be for the 3DS and not the Vita?

"PSP Go: 13"

I lol'd

Anyway, good to see the 3DS on top. I hope Rhythm Heaven Wii does well in North America and Europe.

Why play Sonic 4 when you can just buy Sonic Generations?

While Metroid and F-Zero would be REALLY awesome on the 3DS, I'm expecting something like Pokemon or Smash Bros. But Hey I'm not complaining

@WaltzElf

NoJ isn't the same as NoA

I wish I could go :S

I'm in. Made my day!

Now that the 3DS has a SF game and a Tekken game, WHERE'S SF X TEKKEN ALREADY?

I'm gonna do a barrel roll in 3D! Can't wait!

Peach's Castle is easily the best hub in a Mario game. And please stop comparing it to console Mario games, because it isn't on a console.

Now I regret selling my DSi....That's just great, Nintendo. :S

Other M 2? Blehhhhh. I want Metroid Dread!

Who cares if it's unfair just enjoy the 20 free games that you're getting.

On my birthday? 0_o

The blue 3DS is still the sexiest, though.

@James and Kifa, alrighty then! Thanks!

Now, my worry that the Vita would be a tough competition with the 3DS has faded away.

I have a question:

I currently have no access to Wi-Fi, and I won't until September. I already bought the 2 free eShop games and Link's Awakening DX, does that mean I'll still get the free games?

The game is looking great so far. I'm sure it will be better than the disappointment that is TP, and it might be better than my favourite Zelda game, MM. Who knows?

@3

Yeah I thought that he meant that they weren't interested in free online too 0.o

That's awesome! I'm pretty sure the controllers are expensive, so I can use my 3DS when my friends come over.

Meh, it doesn't look like a Spyro game to me, but it looks good on its own.

Once this and Mario games come out, the 3DS will sell like coffee.
