it's not a spoiler. people talk about what bosses in levels are what, and I mention a minor enemy in one of the first stages that bears a small resemblance to something in a previous game.
I never said I hated the game. I like it, I've said many positive things about. I don't see why it's not okay to say a few things I don't like about it. I still prefer the aestheic cohesiveness of earlier efforts like SMB2, SMW, and Yoshi's Island. I think developers confuse the love for SM64, and place that lack of aesthetic cohesiveness into one of its strong points, where I think that it was something that was easy to just look beyond because of so many other innovative things going on in that game.
I think it would have been fun to have some suits/power ups from earlier games. Feather is my favorite for sure, but a hammer bros. suit, etc from SMB3 would have been pretty awesome.
Plus it seems that a couple people like the game more in the later levels, which I haven't gotten to yet, so maybe I can join the circle jerk when I get to that point.
These threads are always like this. hypE, HYPE HYPE!!!!!!!HYPE!, and then 2 or 3 months from now, people will be more objective and critical of the game.
