Damn this article! It's making the wait harder. How do you make one of the greatest games ever? You just combine two of the greatest games ever created into one, and add something that people have been wanting for years.

This game will probably be reminiscent of SMW.
Exploration mixed with linearity.

Honestly, something that I was disappointed with the SMG (SMG2 in particular) games was the lack of secrets in the hub. (didn't actually get to beat SMG2, my supposed friend stole my Wii, that bastard). There were a few in SM64, with the hidden portraits and the secret slide/water levels, but there should be more! Not sure if you consider what SM3/SMW had as hubs, but they were fucking fantastic.
I'm being brief here but SMW had two secret worlds that were amazing, and you had many different paths to beat the game, with a few other secrets here and there. Mario 3 had those coin ships, random battles with hammer bros, secrets in the mini castles, houses, and a few other things. I really hope they find some way to create that feeling of a massive game with this title. I want the hub, or whatever it is, to have life again. I was very disappointed in the path that they took with SMG2, hopefully they can fix that.

Damn, the 3DS is going to be taking up a bunch of my game time this year. Too many games I want. It's probably unlikely these will ALL release this year, but still:
- Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D
- Mario Kart 3DS
- Paper Mario 3D
- Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle
- Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D
- Resident Evil: Revelations
- Super Mario 3DS
- Time Travelers

All this news of Super Mario 3DS makes me super excited. The Galaxy games were platforming genius.
Also I really want to see how well the 3D effect will lend itself to a platformer, I've really been enjoying the 3D effect with Pilotwings Resort - To the point where I don't want to play without it on, everything feels flat and it's harder to judge distance.

I think this is a different situation because it's the first 3D Mario game developed specifically for a Nintendo handheld.

A cross between Mario 64 and Galaxy? Looks like I might buy a 3DS this year after all.

You forgot NSMB Wii. Nintendo considers that a mainline entry. (NSMB DS too.)

^^2D and 3D Mario are separate.
Ah, right. Well, I'm not arguing with you here, I think they're releasing them at too high a clip as well if this holds true. But it makes sense that they're releasing at a high clip.TL4E said:

NSMB is a 3D series, just on a 2D axis. Like I said, they're considered mainline games.
You're right, but I meant to refer to the 3D Super Mario 64-esque platformers.Andrex said:
edit: I read your new post. It's still a side-scrolling game. It seems strange to to put NSMB into the same category as 64/Sunshine/Galaxy 1 & 2 beyond Nintendo's classification of them being "main games."
I think most would agree you can further subdivide the main games into the 3D platformers and the 2D/3D sidescrolling games.

Yeah, that's true. But things have been thrown up in the air since Nintendo released a second 3D Mario game for the same console.

I really dislike Mario 64.. but I'm 100% sure that the things I dislike it for will not be an issue with this game.

Well, on the other hand, I really do think that Mario Galaxy is the pinnacle of both Mario and platforming games.Door2Dawn said:

Weak, I was hoping for more side-scrolling Mario.

Great news! It's also happening sooner than I thought.
I also hope Nintendo makes a New Super Mario title for the 3DS along with this. I'm sure they will seeing how much the first one sold.
That's all Nintendo has to do. Just make more New Super Mario games and they'll print money again!

Right. Those are essentially different genres, though.Andrex said:
Unless you're talking about whether or Not Ninty itself considers them mainline games.

A cross between Super Mario 64 and Mario Galaxy? Well this is perhaps half of what I want.. cross between New Super Mario Bros Wii and Mario 64 would be simply divine. Oh well, Ive never played a handheld Mario so I cant wait to see how this turns out.
I still think something is going to miss this year, either Mario Kart (unless it is a big summer release) or SM 3DS...there wont be any big oomph games for next year.

Coincidentally, I'm currently listening to the "Nostalgic Fortress" track from Galaxy 2 :lol
So, it is the racoon/tanooki tail but in a 3D Mario game. Both Galaxy and 64 had flying sequences, and... I don't know, but if the game release this year, Kid Icarus is closer than I expected. September release for him?

Can't wait.
Who can complain about getting mario games too fast? If anything we didn't get them fast enough before the Wii (and nintendo realizing making more than one game per console didn't diminish the brand in the eye of consumers).
Next year you'll probably get a 2D mario for the holidays. And you'll have RE:R and a very tiny chance of Kingdom Hearts. Plus we'll get more announcement this E3. But in the meantime, Nintendo really need a bunch of heavy hitter for the holidays, and Mario Kart + This seems like a perfect combination.
Kid Icarus seems like a good august release, but we haven't had many info on that game since the demos a few months ago...
